Paging the Demon Army @WalkingCivilWar

Collingwood want to go from a point as quick as possible (usually from the ball bag behind the goals). If the ball comes into the cheer squad from a Demons point punch/throw it as far back onto the ground as possible.

The umpire will stop the game to get the second ball off, and give us the crucial few seconds we need to structure up.

Also... I got away with saying 'ball bag'. Cop that Demonland filters.

Love your way of thinking. Only one problem… oftentimes the ball that comes into the cheer squad takes out a pair of glasses or someone’s state of consciousness upon landing thereby delaying its return to play and by this time another ball’s been fetched from the ballbag.

edit: I deliberately didn’t put a space between ball and bag and still no censorship! Seems we’re both winners tonight 😃

    Watching this game, I can really see us giving the pies serious trouble in the finals. Like us, there forward line is their weakest link.  
     

    If you rob them of fast ball movement, they will absolutely struggle to score.

    I would’ve picked DeGoey and Howe as your two favs.

    DeGoey is in a league of his own.

    Another week that the teams behind us are gifting us the top 4 place.

    We take care of the Saints tomorrow and we'll be 4 points plus percentage in front on that tight race for 4th on the ladder.

    The media [censored] about the Pies is pathetic. Would think they have won their last 100 games.

    Don't like him - he reminds me of Stuart Broad too much

    No way!!!! Stuart Broad is painfully uncool. He has terrible posture. He walks on the balls of his feet like a toddler, he pulls the most exaggerated facial expressions and he wears that stupid white kerchief around his head which looks even stupider when he tries to put his cap on over it.

    What part of their footballing are you not impressed with?

    They’re a bloody good side - play with a lot of freedom and fun.

    Naicos seems capable of playing midfield without getting a speck of dirt on him, why can't we play one our smooth moving half backs thru there 🤮

    Any side performing as well as they have since midway last year would be receiving the same amount of media attention. 

    But don't let that get in the way of your hatred of them. 

    Also, @binmanand @A F, would love to hear a breakdown of how their loading is tracking vs ours.

    Collingwood like every side have their weak areas. 

    But they're streets ahead of us right now in almost all facets. And we are well behind Port and Brisbane. 

    They way they play is so exciting and attractive to watch. And they're just always in games, no matter how much they're down by. 

    Tomorrow is a true test for where we sit compared to teams 5th-8th.

    Can Goodwin inspire us to a comfortable win against a less talented side who have some significant outs? 

    I have little confidence.

    Well, watching Collingwood win tonight isn’t the best way to celebrate the end of dry July.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
