Go and Get JUH


Bigfoot

Recommended Posts

Bont will never leave, doing so would throw that club into utter turmoil and irrelevance. I also think it would be a burden/luggage for Bont to the extent it will affect his footy. As much as every other club would want him, i hope he sorts out whatever riff raff he has going on and stays to be a 1 club player. He is one of the greats of the modern era.

I think the forwardline configuration last night might have raised a few eyebrows at the kennell. Naughton looked so much better without the congestion. Lobb played his role much more effectively too. Either JUH has to come up much more forward and give Naughton space or they move Naughton into the back line. Playing them like they do is not working. Realistically, its hard to see a situation where they trade him...

How do you know this?

Bont's book has a boy with Demon colours. Omen? A certainty to be at the Dees 🤪

This book is great! Got it for my nephew last year and he loves it 😀

Last night    JUH  did not play, is that correct,  Hard to see their forwards playing much better,  maybe he will become surplace ?

Saints were similar to us against Brisbane, stuffed.

Yes. Fatigue, loading and 5 or 6 day breaks mean a hell of a lot to the whole 22. 
some might be super fit but the average AFL player feels the difference.

Yeah, I like MFC.

That's it.

 I think many of us 'just cannot watch' / 'find no interest, whatsoever' in observing football games in which the Mighty Demons are not playing. To keep abreast of how (well) up-coming opposition sides are playing, we refer to the [censored] media for an ounce of insight, no more. One-eyed it may be, it is a commitment just the same.

Surely they’d sack everyone from the president to the boot-studder before losing Bont..?

I think they'd rather make the Bont captain/coach and president than trade him

Possibly even rename the club Western Bont too!

Interesting development on JUH. Just find it interesting that this happens to coincide with Doggies big win and Naughton kicking 6 snags. Probably nothing but ... the old adage of smoke and fire.

JUH not being at Monday training after being at the boxing on Saturday is curious.

Could not help but notice the following in the next SEN article:

Former Docker, Sun and Demon Harley Bennell kicked 6 goals to help guide the Lions to a 9-point win over Dederang Mount Beauty FNC 15.8 98 to 12.17 89.

Lobb will go.

I don’t think he’s part of the problem. He plays the secondary sacrificial role. Problem is that JUH and Naughton play the same style of game. Both are stay at home forwards. Either JUH gets on his bike and plays more in the style of Jezza or he goes.

Looking forward to the next post match press conference where Tom Morris asks Bevo about JUH’s long term future at the Bulldogs. Bevo v Morris round 2 lol.  No love lost there. Rumours can only help our chances of prying JUH loose.

They will sack Bevo before they let the Bont walk out. Take that to the bank.

Yep Bevo is on borrowed time!

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
