NON-MFC: Semi Finals


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Meh, I don’t really care about the Hinkley-Silcily exchange prior to lining up for the Breust's guard of honour, both were fools.

What was bitterly disappointing to see was as Bruest was being chaired off the ground after he played 300 games Sicily was still gobbing off towards Hinkley.

What an arrogant and selfish thing to do by Sicily just to get the last words in. He's needs a good, hard at himself, it was disgraceful behaviour. If I was the coach and saw that I'd be ropeable.

Haha the captain of the biggest yappy teams who is one of the biggest himself didn't like it when he gets some of the treatment his way 

Still shocking form from Hinkley, sledging the opposition after the match hope the AFL take a dim view

HAWKS. Watch out in 2025

they add 

Will Day

Mitch Lewis 

Josh Battle

Tom Barrass

Cam McKenzie 

they’ll be top 4 contenders next year 🤬🤬🤬

 

or... what made their side so unique in 2024 will be irrevocably changed, teams have a summer to work out how to curb their ball movement, and they'll be in that clutch of teams batting for 5-13...

...so exactly where they were this year

football is crazy even and the margins between positions are slim

Could someone please kindly forward me the Ginnivan 'social media post" that started this Port/Hawks friction.  Can't find it anywhere.   I'm overseas and would appreciate a DM, PM or whatever they're called.  

Thanks very much.  

This explains it

Problem is they were the number 1 team after round 8 for the year.   And they have no retirements and a lot of young players on the upwards trajectory.  It’s hurting because we all still HATE THE HAWKS

Nope. I commend him for it. Ginnivan was completely out of line. Had it coming.

Listening to Sam have a sook in the presser… Chris Scott gonna have some competition. 

As the Hawks fan who writes themongrelpunt website pointed out, Mitchell is hardly one to complain since he was the one who made an injecting gesture to Essendon players post match during their drugs inquiry.

A reminder that last year Craig McRae leading into our final against them, told the media at the end of his press conference: “see you in two weeks”. 
Didn’t hear anyone get stuck into him.

The whole hinkley/ Sicily saga was unfortunate & not great timing when it should have been about bruest.

But it was like the older person telling off the young kid for a lack of respect. 

Would have I liked it if goody did it, probably not, but I think Ken was built up with emotion & he just released it out.

Thanks Watson. I'd already read that article, thought it had to be something bigger than Ginnivan just posting "see u in 14 days" on Brodie Grundys' post game instagram page. 

  Just silly banter; Analogous to "all duck, no dinner" though less taunting.

Really makes me laugh that the hawks have a smart [censored] comment about meeting the swans before playing port then when they lose Hinkley let’s rip. 
 

What’s wrong with that. What’s the matter hawks can dish it out but when it goes [censored] up can’t handle a little responce. WHAT A BUNCH OF DELICATE FLOWERS. SERIOUSLY. 

Then in the hawks post match presser he carps on about an older man being rude to a young player. FFS grow up u sook cause if u had won I’m sure there would have been some sort of carp spoken. And Sicily learn how to kick a goal sunshine before losing ur stuff and even had his own player trying to stop him talking but pushed him away. Big blow hard. 
 

Good on u Hinkley.

maybe i've missed it, but i haven't seen much in the media about the obvious out of bounds with chol which resulted in a hawk's goal.

if sicily kicked that goal and hawks won it would have been mega embarrassing for the afl and port would be furious

and i'm not even mentioning those 2 sling tackle frees that gave them goals

Maybe that article should also include how amazingly tech savvy boys & girls are at a very young age. Ginni should have posted his comments to Grundy privately but he chose (again) to make it all about him. You have Hinkley pulling Hore Francis off in a game when he was carrying on ..Adelaide dumping a player for being disrespectful but we’re all supposed to laud this Gen Z team of young Hawks and their disrespect. Tell me when Watson (refuse to call him the Wizard) or Ginini acknowledge their own players before they go to the crowd. Hinkley has been around footy a long time ..I believe his remark was probably quite calculated…he got on the front foot  straight away at his Press Conference & whether you agree or not …90% of non Hawks supporters would have loved it. Was it right ..no …but I still loved it.

Tx for that.

Agree with most pundits he crossed a line because he's involved the whole team 

It's not really that bad but it wasn't necessary to include his teammates.

No biggy though for me . He's 21. Crikey, the media is so ready and willing to cut people down. Especially those at Afl level.h

    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
