Had a read of their game day thread.
Enjoyed their shock and despair when when we went on the rampage in the 3rd.
They were daring to dream and Nek Minut .... It was over.
Poor fools.

I normally love basking in the schadenfreude of other supporters losing their minds at their team’s performance, but I think in this case I just want to enjoy the win and leave them in peace. Doesn’t feel right this time around.

 
 

I’m just going to post he one message that sums it all up for me

I dunno. I mean they were clearly better than us. But we didn’t put up a fight or any effort. We let them do what they wanted. But then apparently Geelong did too so maybe they’re simply too good. I dunno it feels like a decent team would just put a stop to the ease of their clearances. But it never happened.

Who is this Tex again. Oh I remember he is the guy that has been suspended from the game. 


I just watched the 2nd quarter. The bulldogs are a team of fighters, but they really have a make do backline and only Naughton forward of the ball. Their midfield is their strength.

Their game plan reminds me of under 12’s, and that second quarter proved it. Wait for the best player to get forward of the ball, and then kick it to him. Bont is a star, but they ask a massive amount of him. If he’s not dominating they look a 5-8 team.

I admire their endeavour though. They are a pretty honest team in terms of effort.

A few salty ones on there, and apparently the team singing after the game is a ‘slap in the face’ as they were singing the same song as the dogs?? 

Ah well.

I love how so many on Demonland whinged about the commentary being biased against the Dees, and the Dogs supporters were saying exactly the same, except they call it out as being biased against the Dogs.

I think their comments are pretty balanced overall other than a few posters getting very riled up because we played the same post game song they did after the Port game. They reckon it was disrespectful or something. They need to chill

Spot on.

And it is a really important point. We bat deeper.

Oh, what was the song? Can't two teams like the same song?

It was nice to read the positive comments of our win. Especially about Pettracca being the most worthy Norm Smith medalist ever and we are the best team of the season. Poor Tom English coped a fair bit of heat though.

No idea. First i heard of it was reading through their thread

I love these threads but be humble guys we know what it feels like to be thumped in a grand final. 

We mercifully knew by quater time in both ours.

They thought they were going to win early in the third until we played the best half of football in grand final history.

We can afford graciousness to the Dogs - Bont’s classy speech. Saints too. 
Feel like reserving spite for GF drubbing of scumbag or interstate club

When you smash a team by 12 goals you can do what ever you like, they should be ashamed how their team gave up in the last quarter, it  was Carlton like.

The difference is they played it after beating port, and  partied like they won the Grand final, we waited until 11pm last night to party

This one:


I may have double-standards (at least I have some) in that I'd rip into Cats, Hawks, Pies & Bombers supporters. However would not want to ridicule/humiliate Bulldogs supporters.

And for clarification - Roger the Demon Dog was a pre-game omen, not post-game ridicule.

Correction: "I think it's pretty much him choosing money AND success."

I always like reading the oppo take on the preview or post moretem.  However, I think this is not the time to gloat - we smashed these poor bastards into the dirt, they are in enough pain already.  We have been there for so long, I still feel shadows of their pain.  Time to NOT be like tigers supporters, but to follow the lead of the team and be better than that.  The Doggies did well all year, and were the second best team in it.  They clearly know that now.

 

Footscray had a chance, they didn't take it. On our whole play cycle this year, we had chances, and we took them.Why would you want it any other way. It was the ride of the season

Absolutely. We have the best bottom six in the league. 

And the best top six

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
