What They Are Saying at Orange Land


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

Very slim pickings this week.

From bf:

  • ...and please be gentle Demons.
  • Maybe I'll break out the rum instead of gin
  • 3 new umps .... please
  • Apart from cloning Tom Green a few times, there's probably not much we can do that would make a difference.
  • I don't care what the game plan is I just want to see us score 100+ points. I wouldn't care if we list by 10 goals doing so. It is better than watching the rubbish they are dishing up at the moment.
  • With Ash we recruited a line breaking half back and we have turned him into a tagging mode who doesn’t know what to with it when he gets [it}. Watching him get on the wing in a canter in space and get run down and tackled is infuriating.
  • Looks like VFL HQ is getting ready to stitch-up Preuss again as a scapegoat to cover up, and deflect attention away from, the umpiring crime scene.
  • ...its onwards to the MCG against the Demons. Oh dear god please stand up and make a game of it.

Don't blame them for wanting 3 new umps!

Each week ops supporters dread playing the Demons.  Never much optimism from them.  Only occasionally is there some hope, albeit futile.

It feels good to be feared by them.

I’m on no hurry to underestimate GWS this weekend.  They’re out of form but they have some genuine weapons in their team.  They troubled us twice last year.

 

(With that said… they’re a franchise, not a club and they have no real supporters)

G Dub Ya S are top 4 quality at their best, but with Leon with the keys only play accordingly every once in a while.

Ironically enough we sorely missed Ben Brown in the late season defeat against them.

I thought that last week was going to be a close game and came out looking like a goose, so i wont be making any bold predictions this week.

Dees by only 80 points.

A completely Souless, Heartless basket case club that the AFL Dreamt made good sense!

1000 point thrashing coming up unless Darth Vader manipulates that umpires pay 10 free kicks Greater Western Shizen to our 1 just to make a game of it

I was at the game at the MCG last year when GWS beat us. Melbourne were listless, flat and seemed disinterested. About a week later I went to an MND fundraiser night where David Schwarz spoke, and he categorically stated that Melbourne would win the premiership. When I said that I had been at the game on the weekend against GWS and they looked far from premiership contenders, he said that Burgess had really upped their training loads and that was why they were so flat. He said that barring injuries they would win and he was right!! I would like them to smash the orange maggots.

After the rush of playing finals and winning the flag I heard Gawn say that now he understands why Dustin Martin always looked bored in rd4 😜

We al thought we'd beat them last year, and we didn't.

Surely we haven't forgotten that game.

I think you mean GWS is one of 2 teams who currently have a losing record against us, the other being GC. Unless you mean since the day before the queens birthday last year. Then you’d be correct.

I think Hegel's quote is best

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
