GAMEDAY: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs



Recommended Posts

Pressure is on, don't want a zero and two start. Time to put a difficult preseason behind them.

Those basic errors from last week (the fumbles and missing targets), and the lack of ability to adjust the strategy within the game, have to be fixed.

Stay in the game Dees, or time to slam and make the statement, we are contenders again.

Really hoping our forward line woes are fixed.

We should be better for having a hit out, against a team coming in fresh.

Go Dees!

On the train from Scumbury- a surprising number of Dog supporters!

They are looking far too smug and happy- I feel very much like handing out a jolly good thrashing or two !

Hopefully I’ll arrive at the G in time for a couple of heartstarters with @Moonshadow  ( poor company I’ll admit)

I’ve read a lot of posts along the lines of “Sydney and GWS are the standard we need to match”.

After the last two seasons I think we should all know that flags aren’t won in March. We need the four points far more than we need to look like the best side in it right now.

The train from Gisborne on a nice sprinter might have been better, bitter!

We all need to wear this against Collingwood on KB. Now that would make a statement 

This was our immediate thought. But we have to wear the latest FreezeMND beanie during banner raising and while in our bay. We’re gonna come up with a way to incorporate both. 😅

Helmet would definitely make a statement, but also vital for ones safety.  I don't feel safe at those games.  Never have, and certainly not now.  There should be some sort of personal safety kit available to hire or purchase, the filth shield or something.

Harmes gets a forever free pass for that one famous possie and kick to Fritta.

Given our strong connections as being the pioneers of inducting Irish footballers to Australian Rules. May fond memories of Jimmy Stynes, Sean Wight (hon) et al, be celebrated with your favourite tipple Jamiesons, Guinness, Beamish or Bewley's Irish Breakfast.   🤞  for luck of the Irish. Saint Patrick's Day 🍀 at the 'G Demon's win.

Why would anyone boo harmes. No true demon supporter would boo him.

Given we bizarrely booed Baker last year who could not have done any less to tick of the supporter base, I’d imagine the answer is a clear yes.

That's right it was baker. I knew we booed someone that didn't deserve it

Baker was booed in response to the doggies fans booing hunter. It was a [censored] for tat thing. He wouldn’t have been booed otherwise I reckon.

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

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

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
