Anyone know the last Demons player to kick 6 goals straight in a game?

I'd like to lock in Kozzie in the Alice last year for $2000.

tactical, cos they subbed miller out so we needed to go smaller defensively to keep the match-ups the same

👍 They also moved balta forward not long after

Tommo spot would have to be safe with petty starring forward and Smith the super sub

Ahhh you humblebragged your location finally 🍷😇

Haha. Of course an engineered slip. But I'm thinking of moving here: to see the town flying the red and blue in September would be an awesome sight, and I think I can rally the local folk.

Agree to disagree, didn’t read any comment in the pre game thread that had Petty kicking a bag. I’m glad that he did. I just find it childish when people want to carry on with their “to those who doubted…..”, footy’s an emotional game. I was wrong and I’m happy I was.

If I didn't read it, nobody ever thought it possible. Love it

And then snipe. Childish? Read your comment again. That's childish, very subtle though, well played.

I don't want to rub it in, we're all friends here. I get it wrong as much as anyone.

Petty not a forward hey???? 

He had me fooled,though mostly because I figured he was backline glue. 

Let's see how it plays out over time

 

Max Gawn in the mood has to be the most dominant player in the game.
Best ruckman I've seen.

Albanian heritage. Not sure if born there or here. Probably here.

Olds?

 

Albanian background but majority of the Yze's all grew up in Shepp.

We’re all talking top 2 now dude, top 4 is so last week

For three quarters today the result was in the balance. But for our fantastic finishing burst, we could have had the chasing pack at our heels.

Can the 'Petty's not a forward' crew please stand up, please stand up, please stand up.

And then sit down, and shut the [censored] up!

Yeah, Guilty as Charged!! AMAZING PERFORMANCE!😁

I can put my hand up as being in that camp, but to be fair no one saw this coming. Nothing he’d done playing fwd this year gave any indication he had a game like that in him.

Except the first half against Hawthorn before he got injured was bordering on awesome.

I'm in Albania and would like to get the small town I'm in flying our flag for the finals. If anyone knows where his family is from it could help convince.

We made the sub first because our backline was far too slow and was getting exploited.

All the Tommo truthers might deny it but he has a stinker. Coughed up easy possession in the middle of the ground consistently. 5 clangers from 7 touches.

Was an excellent move by Goodwin to make a brave early call. Smith had at least one classic Smith moment with the Balta goal but otherwise gave us much needed defensive speed.

I suspect Hibbo takes the 2nd tall role unless they gamble on Smith full time.


Well, I was going to play nice today and wake up nice and early for work tomorrow. 
 

Stuff that.

 

I think it’s about time to jump into my freezer and see what range of guilty pleasures there are there for me. 😎

Joel Smith... the Super Sub!

I waited for rain to stop after game; 
thirty mins later he’s running the boundary with a trainer

As they say in the classics.

The Richmond melts on bigfooty are something else

its extraordinary. its was all the umpires. !! talk about excuses. 

I thought Richmond melted under pressure in the last, their backline became very shaky, Dusty nowhere to be seen as we just closed them down perfectly.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    It’s Game Day and the Demons return to the scene of the crime to take on the wooden spooners.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
