Serious question - can you run around with the nickname Wizard when you’ve played two senior games and kicked 1.7? 

His goal celebration was putrid given his side was getting destroyed. Smells like Ginnivin 2.0.

That second quarter was Hawthorn giving everything they had to shut the contest down, after realizing their only option was to keep the margin of their loss to a minimum. 
But playing all out defense is never sustainable against a side that is smashing you in contested possessions and clearances and when you don’t have the forwardline nor the disposal skills to punish the opposition on turnover.

They’d be very disappointed that they managed only one goal with May and Lever both off the ground.

They are hot garbage and it gives me great pleasure to watch them get destroyed. 

yep

i'm not convinced the game style mitchell wants them to play can be effectively executed by the players at his disposal

Well a win by over 50 points is satisfying but the May and Lever injuries are a concern. Also lets face it Hawks were dreadful. Their 1st quarter was as bad as anything you will ever see. A win but nothing to get satisfied about.

Slap yourself twice for saying that beating Hawthorn by over 50 points is nothing to get satisfied about. 


Need I remind you that it wasn’t long ago that they were smashing us and we were the dreadful side? 
Never take success for granted.

Each to their own, but some are really hard to please on here. There was quite a bit to be satisfied about.

What's Gerald Healy's problem? Did we push him out or something?

Also, currently searching online for a novelty jumbo sombrero to eat re. Tomald showing composure and restraint down back. 

Healy has always disliked us since he left for $$$ in Steak'n'Kidney.

Yes I am probably one of those hard to plrase ones. The most pleasing was the way the backline held up well with our 2 amigos going off.

Melbourne Victorious, But Injuries Loom: A Deep Dive into Demonland Forums

The Melbourne Demons faithful have gathered on Demonland Forums, their virtual MCG, to dissect the recent thrashing of arch-rivals Hawthorn. A dominant win, it seems, can't fully mask the anxieties gnawing at the edges of their jubilation. Here, we delve into the thoughts, uncovering the emotions, opinions, and concerns swirling amongst the passionate Demon supporters.

A bittersweet victory: The resounding win undeniably brings elation. Fans like "Rodney (Balls) Grinter" express pure joy at witnessing Hawthorn's downfall, especially considering the historical dominance the Hawks once held. However, a contingent led by "dl4e" tempers the celebration. They acknowledge the victory but argue a victory against a lackluster opponent like Hawthorn shouldn't overshadow the real concern – injuries.

Injury woes: The shadows of May and Lever's injuries loom large. Speculation runs rampant, with some fearing an ACL tear for Lever. Relief washes over the forum as fans like "Jaded No More" dissect post-game interviews, hoping the injuries aren't as severe as initially feared. This concern highlights the crucial role these defenders play and the potential vulnerability their absence might expose.

Demonstrating Depth: Despite the defensive worries, faith in the team's depth remains strong. Names like Petty, Tom Tomlinson, and Jayden Hunt are tossed around as potential replacements, offering reassurance that the backline can hold firm. This resilience in the face of adversity speaks volumes about the team's overall strength.

Shining Stars: The win wasn't without its individual bright spots. Fritsch's impressive performance earns him praise, while Petracca and Gawn's consistent excellence is acknowledged. JVR, the new recruit, particularly impresses fans with his ability to battle in the ruck and contribute at ground level. These individual contributions paint a picture of a well-rounded team firing on all cylinders.

Taking Aim at the Hawks: Hawthorn's dismal performance, particularly their abysmal first quarter, becomes a target for the Demons' supporters. Sarcastic comments and jokes flow freely, with some fans, like "samcantstandya," even wishing for a prolonged period of struggle for the Hawks. This animosity towards the rivals adds a layer of spice to the overall celebratory mood.

Beyond the Win: While the core discussion revolves around the game, other topics surface throughout the thread. Umpiring decisions are questioned by some, adding a layer of frustration to the mix. A lighthearted debate erupts over the appropriateness of nicknames for young players, with "whatwhat say what" questioning the use of "Wizard" for a player with limited experience. Finally, the ever-present dislike for commentator Gerald Healy finds renewed expression, reminding everyone that even in victory, some grievances remain.

A United Front: Despite the range of opinions and concerns, a sense of unity emerges from the forum. Demons' fans stand together, celebrating the win, acknowledging challenges, and offering support to the team. The collective hope is that the injuries won't derail their momentum and that the team can continue its dominant run. The final sentiment, perhaps best captured by "Rodney (Balls) Grinter," is one of cautious optimism: success should be savored, but challenges lie ahead.

….

Had a holiday house near me for some years. I fronted him at my local many years ago about his ‘grudge’. Definitely no love for the Dees.
BTW Crackers Keenan similarly no love for us.

What did we think of JVR's game? Much more time in ruck, it's not ideal for a youngster but he competes hard and it does give him a chance to get into the game. Thoughts?

I know Jackson is a specialist ruck but there was no concerns about him rucking in year 1 or 2, I don’t see the concerns about JVR doing it in year 3.

Obviously have to monitor his tank, get him forward development time but I think so far it’s great.

They over-celebrated pretty much all of their goals. Embarrassing

I was calling him ‘the wallet wizard’. Seems more appropriate than stealing Jeff Farmer’s handle.

It’s unclear as to where he will be playing in the coming season as some of the club’s established defensive talls near the end of their careers.

    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!

    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.

    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.
