POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs


Demonland

Recommended Posts

If we kicked straight in the first or the end of the third quarter, this game would have been a demolition. Ben Brown and Fritta missed two gimmes in the third they would both usually kick. Sparrow sprayed one too on the run. 
And let’s not talk about the umpiring. Absolutely putrid one sided rubbish. So many “in the backs” for minimal contact to the Dogs. Gawn has his head taken in every marking contest, play on.

As well as Nibbler's effort in the 4th when he was stuffed from the run, as well as two posters from Trac and BBB (or was it three??).

Jackson with a poster too to start the last quarter.

There were also three missed getable goals either side of three quarter time. 

Say we get two of those and add the insanely corrupt free kick goal to Weightman at the end of the first.  We should have been up about 40 points a few minutes into the final quarter.  The scoreline flattered the Dogs.

It was like the GF. We jumped them early, then waster some chances while they spent all their petrol tickets on a run of goals. Then we put on the afterburners. Only this time we had mercy on their souls.

So I’m finally watching a bit of the replay on my lunch break (thank you Covid for this WFH win!). 
And one thing I really love is how well we play as a team. I watched a few teams on the weekend yelling and abusing teammates for bad kicks which I thought was so poor. 
In contrast we support one another, we group together and chat and make decisions on the field. We don’t attack, we don’t point fingers and we don’t let anything phase us. I think that is a sign of a really good team that trusts the process and trusts one another. 
For example third quarter, we just took the lead back. ANB gets BB and Fritta together for a chat to point our positioning. This is a guy who last year was on the trash pile and he’s now setting up forward structures. Just wonderful to watch. 

Watched the replay on my lunch break… don’t ever doubt Jaded as a Dees tragic/lunatic.

 

One thing I did notice on the night I forgot about was BBB doing the snap around the corner, unless he was right at the point post he rarely ever went for an around the corner shot at goal.

When asked about possible complacency from the Dees, Garry Lyon ‘On The Couch’ highlighted Hunt’s effort late in the game when the match was just about done and dusted. Repeat sprints to eventually lay that crunching tackle on Daniel which almost got us a goal from Nibbler.
It was evident last year and good to see the good habits of playing until the final siren has continued.

Joel Smith first qrt was really good and that free against him at the end was not a free, old mate on social media with the  “was the umpire wrong” account was wrong sadly for him.

I’ve lost it now but someone on Twitter today posted the expected scores (from Champion data) for the round and we were “expected” to have won by almost 50 points.

Well we had 27 scoring shots to 16 so it makes sense. 
Inaccurate goal kicking kept them in touch at quarter time after we had 9 scoring shots to 4.

13.25 to go in the first half…. In the first half… Dogs were 8.3 - 51. End of the game 11.5 - 71.

Incredible how we slowed and turned the game.

They didn't goal in the 3rd qtr

Also when Kossi tried the massive hanger did Brayshaw call “Jamarra”?!

He certainly did. Watching the replay and that just happened. BBB handball to Lingers leading up to Viney's goal was magnificent. 

Flag unfurling never gets old. Could watch every day.

How could he get it so wrong?! A) wasn't playing the game and B) different teams... what could it be...

Weightman would have to be one of my most hated players. He got one goal, from a free kick, and I watched their finals game against Essendon recently and he kicked 4 goals all from free kicks, one of which the commentators couldn't work out what the free kick was even for, it was a bit like the one against us.

I can't stand that little mouth breather and was shocked when one of the commentators said he's everyones favourite and everyone likes to watch him play. I'm so glad we didn't pick him.

He rivals Rhys Mathieson.

Just watched the flag raising bit on tv. Hadn't watched it yet. It looked great on tv & it just makes you emotional every time. I loved the loud noise for each flag person introduced but loved how Jones & RDB got the loudest

To see Alves, Hassa, Wells, Barassi et al - altogether legendary.

Really just a largely ineffective small forward.

When the chips are down we can always rely on nibbler pickett or spargo to wrave magic. Be it a goal or assist or tackle.

Weightman isn't in that class and is a proven non contributor when the heat is on.

Not one of the frees against Ess were from Weightman diving or milking a free, the ump got the one clearly wrong, I have no idea how anyone could dislike Weightman for something not of his doing. Bizarre.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
