What a captains goal from Gawn at the start of the last Q

We walk taller with the big man

 

These a shot of the crowd after Fritta's goal of a guy with his hands on his head in utter disbelief. I think we all felt the same.

A reminder that Windsor is just 18yo

What a pick up

Doesnt make a mistake. So quick, so skilful, so composed 

Should be top 3 in the Rising Star you’d reckon

Maybe so… I think it’s more what happens when you don’t put the right person in him. Henry (his direct opponent) gave him no respect and despite kicking 3 goals on him, probably gave up more in the scoring chains he set up. 

Unreasonably negative. Lever’s form isn’t just down to how much opponents respect him. You’re giving him next to no credit for his positioning, zoning, reading of the play, his strength in marking contests, even his willingness to be involved in offence. His form is largely his to own. 

Scott presser was all about how his players were off blah blah, how about respecting the opposition.. Goody reinforced how good the cats are

Been taking notes from Serena Williams.

Pay that. Excellent comparison 

Like the cats, Serena has never actually been beaten by an opponent. 

Both only ever lose it because, 'whilst we are not making excuses we [insert lame excuse here - options include covid, gastro, just had a day off, imply robbed by the umpire, played poorly but still almost won because we are so good and our opponents are not in our league, focus is the finals and schedule].'

I was despondent at 3 qtr time. Thought we’d blown it through bad kicking.

but up stepped Maxy with the captains goal to inspire us. What a leader.

he’s playing as well as ever. AA selection number 7 looking a cert.

We keep coming back to these points: Max is a true champion, an excellent example to all of his players, a great captain of the footy Club. He should be knighted for his contributions to sport and civic dignity.

Noticed that - blaringly obvious that he could not even say: 'The Demons played well.' 

 

What QD hears went Dermie provides his special comments.

They switched to the fat side of the ground when the corridor was open to the end-to-end stuff in the hotdog stand. They’re using their stoppage specialist with the extra on the front door so that gives them the structural flexibility to transition the play around the back of the press. Langdon is a high-intensity runner so that allows them to transition in a way the disrupts the zone defence as ANB exerts his forward half pressure freeing Kossi up to clear on the attacking outside of the narrow lateral of the horizontal. And when they get the young kid Matthew Whelan back from injury they’ll be even more elite in their switching of their offensive spread in their intercept marking.

Not confusing enough

Surprised Scott didn’t say some of the Cats had the sniffles

Nothing but excuses from that mob

Just got home from a Very round trip, lets get a few things outa the way

1 Petty was very good tonight so a stay of execution, for now, he provided a solid target and took some great grabs

2 If Demon Royalty includes yours truly well then it was akin to a Royal Flush, only Uncle was the left Bower, Moonman the right, Biffen was the king..... and the fence was.... The ACE OF SPADES

3 I'm old school and had plenty of cash to splash but what is it with this rubbish cards only sheeeit. CASH IS STILL KING PEOPLE.

AH great win after I have a few scotch and cokes I'll post some more! 

The G has been cash free for yonks PF. When did you last get to a game?

Oh my god, she had the absolute time of her life. It was taxing on her, which we’d anticipated, but her enthusiasm and unbridled joy were unwavering and totally infectious. Such a wonderful experience for her. And yes, 31 did have her losing her mind 😂 Her arms were tired but she held his giant head up regardless, even when she was too tired to stand up. She joined in every single chant with gusto. Many’s the time Pauline and I looked at each other with tears in our eyes. Then, this happened…

Not a dry eye in the cheer squad

Fritta made her night complete. 

WOW JUST WOW

Just watched Chris Scott's presser on the back of all the comments and didn't think it was so bad. He's always been begrudging of praise to the opposition and I thought he made a good job of engaging with the journos instead of treating them like the numpties most of them are.

Mate it’s not negative whatsoever. It’s simply highlighting what happens if you don’t put work into him. It’s been a known fact for the last 4 years and why the whole forwards marking the intercept is a modern part of the game plan. 

It’s similar to the difference between tagging and not tagging Trac/Oliver. When you let him run free he will likely punish you.

I can't warm to him because he is often a sore loser, just like Hardwick. I do like his analysis on the game though, but needs to work on his humility.  That's why I love Goody so much, respectful whether they win or lose.

He's better after wins

F&@$k i hate Jeeelong. Absolutely everything about them stinks

i will enjoy the Replay immensely 

Just watch the last QTR, those easy misses was killing me, I swear ever time we play Geelong we kick more behinds then goals

I just texted this to a mate who is a big cats fan:

'Scott, who I had warmed to, lost me with his sour, sore loser, press conference - gave us no credit.

I suspect there is no love lost between goody and Scott.'

He has only lost you now? he lost me in 2021 with his everyone was sick excuse, and even way before that, he is the biggest complainer in the game

Fritta has Stephen Hawkins type Footy IQ. Bloke is as clever as I’ve seen since Aaron Davey, except his height and marking give him a few more strings to his bow.

Um I did, he was phenomenal tonight!!

I see the Picket Fence Cafe in Iiiiiivanhoe was sprayed with bullets late last night.

Could it be an angry demonlander got fed up with your criticism of Harry Petty?

Look out PF!

For those following the Dermie "cats wasted their chances" halftime narrative, he's chosen to stick with that in the postgame too. Absolutely no idea.

The thing with Dermot is he really hates Melbourne, he gives the Dee no credit ever, he told me that 21 does not count as a flag

  On 05/05/2024 at 04:28, Demons1858 said:

Would be nice if he paid respect to the opposition like goody always does ... apparently they lost it we didn't win it ... in the finals in 21 the excuse was they had a cold 

I thought it was gastro? They certainly pooped themselves

Just wait after another pre season or two if he continues on this path will be a gun.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
