GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn


Demonland

Recommended Posts

It’s been a big week for the Melbourne Football Club which fought the good fight to uphold the integrity of the game. 

Today is the day of the players to back that up on the football field against Hawthorn. We need the supporters to come out on force to cheer them on.

Sadly your poor old Uncle Bitter is marooned in the wildlands of North East Victoria far from the comforts of The Manor and will be an armchair supporter today.

Not that my absence will make much difference to what will be a 50 plus point demolition. 

I'm sure I speak for most in saying I'd like to see JVR kick a bag. The club are clearly prepared to give him every opportunity to develop and hold on to a permanent spot. Kicking a few today would be a terrific confidence booster and fillip for his career.

After his first goal less game for eons Fritta is also likely to hit the scoreboard hard.

The game won't be much of a spectacle - if you're a Dorks supporter.

This one is NOT a danger game so rest easy DL.

Harley Reid is the prize the Hawks seek not the 4 points today.

I'll have the youngins along, all decked out in our Dees gear, so hoping to see some fireworks from Maxy, Trac and Clarry. And hopefully they get to practice their Rooooooooooooooo chanting.

Dees by 40 points

This is the game to have a really big win,we seem to coast a bit against the weaker sides and do enough to win well but dont bury them

I think it’s fair to say we buried North a fortnight ago. Hawthorn’s team today is better - we should win but don’t get carried away if the margin isn’t to your liking.

You really want that Number one draft pick Hawks, well just come and try and get it. We dare you. 

I can’t for the life me fathom how West Coast don’t finish last this year.

For starters, they play Hawthorn down in Tassie soon which would be a near certain win for the Hawks.

Most relaxed I’ve felt all year 😃

any win beyond 30 points effectively puts us 3 games clear of Geelong (6th place) and beyond.

I guess I phrased that quote wrong. I meant the figure two, not an image of Gleeson.

Big difference in us this year has been the injection of youth in our fwd line. Chandler has been superb and JVR very promising and is tough as. Importantly both are skilful and have added 25 goals and only 4 behinds.

  • Demonland changed the title to GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn

Hawks have a couple of players back after resting Bruest, CJ and Mackenzie. So they won’t be as insipid as last week. 

expect a decent contest in the first half then a 10 goal better second half

Do it for May. Hopefully he can get into some form too

It's going to be a sunny day. Shame it's not at 2:10 but a nice afternoon should be had by all. I expect us to win comfortably & we should if we're serious.

I do hope our supporters show up in numbers and wouldn't it be great if Van Rooyen clunks the first grab. 

Go dees!!!

Yep

Strange time for a game. It will have an almost zero TV audience so why it couldn't be at a supporter friendly time in winter sunshine I don't know

You can't keep a player of Fritta's quality down for long. Jvr to show his appreciation and I keep expecting Kozzie to kick 5 soon. Hopefully it's today. GCS big win in Perth made me more confident.  Congratulations to May. Surely we should hope for a 50 point win.

Clarry to hospital at half time with acute leather poisoning. I’d like to see a similar game to the North game a couple of weeks ago, but break the ton this time.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    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
