POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Richmond


Demonland

Recommended Posts

A win against Richmond is always welcomed. Still, I can’t believe how inaccurate we were. We could barely get past them. How many intercept mark did they take in our forward 50? Oliver, Bowey, May, Tracc all good. all we need to do it work on our forward line and we’ll smash the hawks

that was an 8 goal win, disregard the deplorable accuracy, were in control after the 1st 15 minutes.

How do Lever and Salem get back in, haha, the whole backline was fantastic  tonight

Lever straight in for Smith.

Salem coming in for one of Dunstan or JJ once fully fit??

Bombed it far too often allowing the Tiger's spare to intercept quite a bit.  Not enough patience / smarts coming inside.  Look for the give off lateral if you cant see a man forward and chip it around / change lanes till you can.

The first quarter i understand this is going to happen a bit more but for mine we should have looked to correct this as best as possible in the second but didn't.

Sure their pressure was high in the first half but we kicked 16 points in total.... 10 to the right hand side and 6 to the left.  Lots of brain snaps....literally

This was an 80 point (roughly) deemolition in the offing which we let slip.

Happy to take the win but some worrying brain fades / red veils in that first half for mine (may cost us against better opp going forward).

The bad goal kicking was mainly through bad decision making and not properly thinking things through.

To Richmond’s credit they pushed us really wide in the forwardline. They really defended heavily the corridor because they didn’t want to get smashed. 
In the end they didn’t get smashed because we couldn’t kick straight

Ask The Storybots Farm GIF by StoryBotsThat win was agricultural at best! “Too many of you blokes couldn’t hit the side of a barn.”

Smith out for Lever, when ever Salem is ready change him for Hunt. 
Viney might relplace JJ or Dunstan, not sure.

Lot to fix tonight. The selfishness going into f50/shots on goal that crept in tonight by a lot of players needs to be eradicated quickly. Trac being the worst offender.

Never in doubt. Not only is he the best on-baller in MFC history, he’s the best I’ve ever seen in the AFL/VFL. Phenomenal. 

If he can manage 287 disposals in the next 9 games (Ave 31.9) he'll beat Greg Williams (who I think was the fastest) to 4000 career disposals (139 games vs Williams's 140). That includes 17 shortened games in 2020.

I know disposals don't tell the true story of a player, but this would be a pretty impressive feat.

This team continues to astound. 

This was an ugly game, make no mistake. Our scoreline was hideous, our kicking into the forward line was largely out of character and we simply just looked out of sorts all night. However, even when this team operating at 40%, it's still enough to keep teams in check. That 5-10 burst in the third was all it took to put the result beyond doubt.

Bowey for Prime Minister.

It’s very hard to keep winning, even though we didn’t finish our good work from the back often enough, it’s very obvious we are extremely hard to beat. 
Shout out to Hunty, thought he was very good on Bolton. Petty will be a star if he’s not already.

Jayden is really building this season, perhaps his best game.

Tigers were hard to break down. Threw numbers behind the ball so we were forced to bomb away. Bit like soccer's version of parking the bus.

We wore them down eventually. Our one-percenters were brilliant all night. 

Clayton Oliver take a bow. Amazing game.

When our little blokes (Hunt, Rivers, and Bowey) were forced to defend one-on-one we looked a little vulnerable. Same with Smith on Reiwoldt.

Loved that we played for four quarter even though we weren't capitalising on the scoreboard.

Every game is going to be a dirty grind. That is the way our system works. Teams that want to back there own system over ours will tend to get exposed more than teams. So we may turn out a performance like last week every 4-5 rounds. 
 

But I bet if we looked at last years postgames we’d be complaint of lots of similar things. If ain’t broke….it wins you a flag.

Brayshaw can think he's a better inside mid than winger but if he goes and plays inside he will just be another one of 100 players. On the Wing he is elite.

Another side that didn’t play their natural game against us. Slow the game down and chip the ball around.. Game conceded before the bounce. We have spooked just about every other side in the comp.

Put everything into stopping us and result: couldn't score themselves.

I pity the team we play 4 quarters against.

I don't think we've played more than 2 quality quarters in any match this year and we are still light years ahead of the competition. 

Remember when you'd be nervous at the footy?? I haven't felt it all year, I trust we'll get the job done.

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    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

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    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
