POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Geelong

These wins galvanise teams. 

We stepped up and despite seemingly trying to kick ourselves out of it, did what we had to do, when we needed to do it. Highlights for me, Caleb clutch tackle and goal, and the FRIBBLER! 

A great outcome to nab this one. I still think the Blues are more dangerous. Win that, and we are on our way. If we play with the same pressure and kick better we will cover them. 

Proud of the grit shown by the boys.

Go Dees 🔥

 

But we still need to improve the kicking, it was the reason we lost against Collingwood and Carlton in the finals.

But overall a great performance.

Wow. Gut wrenching last quarter.

Thank you  Jeremy.

Max - you led us to victory.

Lever - the rock.

Petty - welcome back

Langdon - you can have a rest now.

Fritsch - how the hell you were never drafted at 18yo, I will never know. You are simply brilliant.

They did give us one. Good game and we are as close as anyone.

Good reality.

Suck on that Cats. I love beating that team.

Goal of the season to Fritsch. Magic effort to win it.

Defensively brilliant all night. Lever superb.

Great to see Petty clunking them and back in form.

Goal kicking not good. Far out we nearly kicked it away.

We’re up to our necks in it this year. Make no mistake.

Go Dees

A few more highlights, obviously Lever a one man fortress. Probably BOG. And so good to have Petty’s mitts back on. Once he gets the feet working again, he will be a big asset. His marks were so important. 

watching the vision right now you can see how happy the boys are for Petts. Great to see.

How old was he when we recruited him? 21?

I apologise for the doom and gloom in the match thread, I just can't help it. Everything about this game pointed to another heartbreaking, self inflicted loss.

Thank god it wasn't.

Petty the MVP.

We’re in the hunt for the premiership. Make no bones about it. We’re a top 4 team. 
 

I thought Geelong would beat us tonight and I am bloody wrapped how wrong I was. 
 

we are fixing our forward issues and there was clear evidence in that game. 
 

Petty getting the cobwebs off.

 

[censored] bring on the blues and let’s see how they like us this year.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
