looks a bit like Darren Lehmann hereย 

Outside of Tulip, Fowler, Hardeman, Big Carl, Henry Coles, Peter Giles, Greg Wells and that champion Phil Carmen, Bakes was easily my favourite player of that era.ย

Would rathered Harmes for Milkshake! Spargo extremely lucky

Think you should throw in Hunt and Hibberdย 

can only think each had specific goals or run with roles to shut down specific players. Not sure that held with our pour conversion into scores or the ease the ball came out of our 50

still think this side should beat the blues

go dees do it Saturday just for me!


My initial response was FMD โ€ฆโ€ฆ. but ย I took a deep breath and reflected on last weekend. ย It was perhaps the best game of footy for the season, huge stakes between two top teams, enormous pressure and some important breaks went against us. ย We lost by only a few points, with lots of upside to the level we know that we can play at (eg. goal kicking and delivery to our forwards). ย Iโ€™m okay with no changes in those circumstances. ย

I'm predicting a similar outcome to the Freo match. Dees by 6 goals and changeย

I'm poring over this observation whilst pouring a sherry cos I'm too poor to afford scotch.

Dees by 29 points after some wasteful kicking for goal. I am not a praying man but I am praying that we are seeking an extra goal kicking forward to play beside BB, Fritta and JVR next year.!!!!

Another week where team selections annoy me once again..

What's the chances of a shock Weid comeback at Milkshake's expense ?

Surely Goodwin is not that foolish? In the eyes of so many supporters and members, he'd lose his job.

Maybe goody thought a sneaky late change of the Weid in is better than Thurs night, in case Sam reads Demonland?!ย 
ย 

Putting aside the โ€œone week at a timeโ€โ€ฆ..

Obviously we need to win out last two games to finish 2nd. In addition we need the Swans to beat Collingwood this Sunday, the other factor is percentage.ย 
Sydney play Collingwood and the Saints, Saints are still a chance to play finals although it seems unlikely. I think we can beat Brisbane next week but it may not be as easy as it was after the bye. This Saturday night is our chance to put some space between our percentage and that of Sydneyโ€™s. Leigh Mathewโ€™s said during the week he didnโ€™t like discussing percentage with his players as he thought it detracted from the task at hand, I thought players were better than that. Break it down in itโ€™s simplest form, aim to win each quarter by 4 goals. Cripps or no Cripps we have them covered. Time to start handing out some lessons again.ย

I didn't expect it to happen either 'mania. The point I was getting at ( and I stated it explicitly later) is that I don't like the idea of going into the finals with only one tall forward. Unfortunately, unless they were going to give the kid ( JVR) a go we have no options except Weid.

However, tonight's selection confirms that that is the way we are going

ย 

Wouldn't matter if he did read Demonland, '64, he's already had thousands of treatises, reports, theses, intense and widespread analysis including measured advice and fault correcting suggestions (ad nauseum) from the foundation of the football club - US!

Such extensive contributions to his onfield well-being have so far been wilfully ignored or 'placed into the too-hard basket'.ย

ย It does not auger well, I am afraid; still, who are we to consider alternatives?

A hell of a down grade from single malt to sherry. Like Champagne to river water!

Letโ€™s hope if Gawn is forward more that he fixes his goal kicking.ย 

Not much point in having him there to kick points.ย 

Gawn has a career goalkicking record of 86 goals 78 behinds and this season has kicked 11 goals 13 behinds.ย  After the Swans game he was on 11 goals 9 behinds.ย  By comparison Petracca has kicked 16 goals 27 behinds.ย  Gawn's last couple of games have had some average shots, but over the season he's not far off 50/50.ย  If Tracc had been anywhere near that we win at least two more games, and top 2 is locked away.

    It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If youโ€™re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footyโ€”you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Caseyโ€™s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down thereโ€”and good luck!

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwinโ€™s summer of love.ย Manyย issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    Weโ€™re back! That was fun. The Mighty Deesโ€™ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commandingย 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
