POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Geelong



Recommended Posts

So good to see Petty hit some form .

Some of those marks were huge.

Got great elevation and really clunked them.

Reminds me a little of the Swans game at the G nearly exactly 3 years ago. They were coming but we kept winning 50-50 contests late and got over the line.

A mate, a big dees fan, watched the game at home just texted me and said good thing I watched live because derm would have broken my brain if I had watch it on the box.

They kicked themselves our of the game? 

We were 12 points up on xscore at half time. 

And I suspect halfway through the third the xscore would have been minimum plus 25 with Windsor's miss, kozzies miss and nibblas shocker.

Those 3 goals get kicked 80% of the time minimum (which is how they arrive at xscore).

Thank God we won that game because WE would have been rightly bemoaning gifting them the game.

We dominated the first half of the third and should have got out to a match winning lead.

I'm on my home.

Ill watch the replay and have a laugh at breteton.

It's embarrassing for the sport that bloke is paid to analyse it.

Definitely could have lost it in the third, was doing my head in, would have been so frustrating to lose.

Fantastic win. Played good consistent footy over 4 quarters. Frittas goal will send me to sleep in orgasmic waves of joy.

Wow wee what a game. Just finished watching as I was at a Star Wars marathon today here in the west.

Great game by the boys if we take out that terrible run of points from the 2nd qtr.  I would say it was out best game for the year. 

Good to see Petty get his touch back, what 11 marks most contested.  As I mentioned before he needed a few more games at Casey to find that touch, but it's here now.

Gee, the umpire need to get back to giving 50's for back chat, the amount of disputes by the Geelong players when free given against them was terrible, especially the one where is was telling the umpire he need to look.  The AFL again doesn't enforce rules properly.  I counted at least 5 instances of it on TV.  

Bring on the blues..

Windsors highlights of this game prove he is worthy of 7’s MVP and TV. If he doesn’t get rising star someone must be kicking 10 tomorrow. 
Caleb is a jet and has the ability to be a serious long term player with many an all Australian jacket collected along the way. Love what he is doing now but can’t wait to see what he brings in the future

Btw he is tougher than the Daicos guy, there I said it 😤

May kicked the ball like the real Steve May for the first time in 3 years.

Petty with a proper chf game, he can absolutely do it.

Great games out of Langdon and Windsor 

Plenty to like and a proper tough win 

Petty marked everything that came near him but Roo seemed to be doing the same early. He faded and had a couple of moments he'd like back but if he can mature into the player we think he will and Petty sticks around they can be a pretty formidable duo with Fritsch, Koz, Chandler and McAdam when he debuts around them

Does anyone have a contact at the club in the membership department?

For the 3rd home game in a row I had to move people out of our Reserved Seats, and we sat surrounded by Geelong supporters who just wandered in. The MCG staff don’t give a [censored]. I’m over it.

Just 2% behind GWS who were unbackable for the flag last week.  

Yep the talk about Melbourne after beating Richmond by 43 points, was a disgrace by the media and many posters on demonland, king. And Whiteley couldn't put us in the top five in their rankings. If either put us in the top 4 raking I will spew up

BTW JvR held 3 marks, one grab, no chest involved, very promising, was getting really worried he had shot his confidence on taking the ball. Super competitive in the ruck too despite being undersized.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
