Post Match Discussion - Round 23

Bahahaha - I would be honoured to play my part in a huge win over the Cats! -

Friday Night Lights! Huuuugeeee game, and the G will be lit up so that everyone can see us destroy the Cats! -

Great summary! I agree, Spargo makes some silly mistakes, but he runs his guts out every game. The kid must be spent, but he'll be huge asset going forward. Yeah, we do have brain fades, but thankfully we are getting better at moving on from them and getting back to business. I love how Frosty and Weids are standing up. They're a couple more pieces in our future! It's getting harder and harder for anyone else to get into this team, which is great! -

Couldn't agree more. Beast of a midfield. It's the perfect mix of power and silky skills. Very, very scary! -

Great call! The man is a beast, and he's starting to do freakish things out there, wayyyyyyyyy too consistently for other teams' likings haha -

Run, Frosty, run! I must have screamed that about a dozen times today. It never got old. We need to make room for him when Lever returns, because he's in our best 22, no doubt. -

Frost's ground speed was something else. And much sharper execution as well. I love how even after he sprints and releases the ball, he keeps going to make sure there's another option. Agree, it's been great to watch Harmes' development this year. He really has been able to capitalise on a combination of strength and silky skills. -

How good was that?! As always, the usual suspects were great, but i thought Frosty and Weids were awesome! Can't wait to send the Cats packing next in a fortnight! Was at the game today, it was electric! -
hahah this is perfect - also pretty suitable for Aussie politics right now (change Goody, Bucks and Lyon to... well, take your pick)!
-
Man, I'd love for this to happen - but I've the misfortune of watching a few Dockers games this years, and the Pies need to win to keep their top4 possie, so I just can't see it happening. But don't get me wrong, if it does - a clash against the Tigers and a double chance would be AMAZING. We have a great record against the Tigers, and we started strong against them earlier in the year (bit couldn't capitalise) when we didn't quite have our stuff together.
-
No doubt. They didn't deserve to win either of those games, and there's no way we'll gift them another. We'll beat them when it counts! Yeah, I'm so pumped. I think the somewhat removal of pressure will allow the boys to play their natural style and send a message coming into the finals. I'll be there, can't wait to see it in person!

Watch this space - We'll beat GWS, then knock the Cats out of the finals in triumphant fashion. Third time lucky sort of a deal. ...and it will be so sweet.

Very true. I only ran through the most common scenarios, but this is also possible. It's in our hands, but I'm also hoping GC try to end the year with some dignity haha -

Absolutely! Champions. Great image. -
12 Long Painful Years Finals - At Last!!
Red But Mostly Blue replied to Lucifers Hero's topic in Melbourne Demons
If we win, we're likely to play the cats at the G. That's the best possible outcome given that we've had them covered this year, and we will most certainly be out to seek revenge where it counts. -

Roos must be emotional about this as well, I reckon. He came to the team at its lowest, and would have seen everything. He helped to pick us up off the canvas. This would please him to no end. Good man. -

Red But Mostly Blue replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Yeah, I don't buy that. Maybe Goody is being diplomatic, or Nev wanted to be the bigger guy after it all, but I don't think it was about a mark. Nev was wayyyy too angry. -
POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 22
Red But Mostly Blue replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Oh, me too - but after this week, and with the pies obviously keen to keep top 4, I just can't see Freo winning. I mean, I'll take it haha, but I just can't see it happening. -

Red But Mostly Blue replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Couldn't agree more! The losses this year were heartbreaking. They didn't deserve either of them. But boy can we make it sting by beating them when it counts. The look on their faces will be the stuff of sweet dreams for a long time haha -

The script looks written for us to knock the cats out of the finals after the heartbreaking losses against them. Would be so sweet! -

How good was that! Milkshake is crucial to this club. Harmes was awesome. Jonesy played a captain's game. Gus, Clarry and Maxxy solid as always. Loved the INs. Hannan was fantastic. Didn't hit the scoreboard (kicks were woeful), but I really liked what I saw from Weids. He's going to be a great contributor. Even Kent gave a little in the second half. Modelling for the finals: First good news (from a 'I don't like the Roos' perspective) is it doesn't look like they can make it from here, same as Port as they need the cats to lose to the suns... Yikes. If we win (regardless of hawks Sydney game) we finish 5 and we play cats at G. If we lose and Hawks win, we play Sydney over there. If we lose and Swans win, we play Hawks at G. I really don't know what I prefer. I'd rather win (obv) and knock the cats out of the finals. Can't lose to them 3x in a year, right? Plus, it would be great for the story to knock the cats out of the finals! BRING IT! -
Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 22
Red But Mostly Blue replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Definitely a bold line-up, but that's what it's about right now. We can't keep doing the same things and expecting different results. We won't finish the season wondering, and at the very least we'll know a lot more about who should be part of our 2019 premiership side! -
Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 22
Red But Mostly Blue replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Absolutely!! Out with the passengers, in with some speed and grunt! I'm really interested to see how the Weid will go, and the input of Kent. Hibbo and Melksham are HUGE ins. -
Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 22
Red But Mostly Blue replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Yeah, the same side. Yeah, they get some frees here and there, and some suspect preferential treatment. But they smoked us. Twice. Once when our finals were on the line. And the second when we came back for 'vengeance', with fire still burning in our guts from R23 last year. I was there for both games, and free kicks did not cause the spanking we got. -

I agree, they're a big part of the puzzle. But really we've only been without Viney and Lever for the majority of the year (Hogan has been there, and Tom McD has played since R6). Lever wasn't here last year, and we beat (I think 4) top 8 sides last year. So the only difference was Viney? That can't be right. All I'm saying is that, like the Pies (who were way behind us last year), we should be able to adapt and turn in 100% performances. Not some of the BS performances (like Q2 and Q3 last week) we turn in when we need to bring our A game. But I hear you, when we get Lever, Viney and Hogan back, man oh man. 2019 will be a very exciting time (unless you're one of the other 17 teams that will have to play us).
