  1. Holding the ball didn’t seem to apply for the Crows, lots of 360’s then a handball or just let ball drop for no frees!! Still happy, if we had those umpires against Port we would have lost!
  2. Good kicking is good football! Bad kicking cost us a couple of finals last year! I prefer good kicking!!!!!!!
  3. Sometimes you just have to find a way to win, and the Demons did it! ANB top game, Langdon back in form, and BBB making a big contribution. It’s terrific to see BBB and TMac back in form, I thought their injuries had finished them last year, a great bonus for the team to have them in good health!
  4. ANB has kept improving every year, like a fine wine, getting better with age, a highly valued member of the team!
  5. Jack has been a great player for the Demons, 100% effort every game.
  6. It’s hard for Melbourne to win by more or kick more goals when 30-40% of the game is Hawks playing kick to kick in their backline!
  7. Agree and when he had chance in finals last year against Blues was a no show! Depth but no star!
  8. Thanks Angus for your huge contribution in our flag year and for everything you’ve done for the Demons over your career! Best of luck for the future particularly your health! AFL will eventually have a massive law suit against them, and their inaction on Maynard’s blatant career finishing hit, will come back to haunt them.
  9. Sounds like this week they may have more spring in their steps!
  10. Demons infected pre match! True or False? Played like True! Didn’t run and seemed like North had 4 extra players.
  11. Heard rumor half a dozen Demons impacted by Covid. Any truth re this rumour.
  12. Feels like we let the flag slip away this year! Shocking goalkicking! Forward connection average, also impacted by terrible goal kicking! Forward half injuries, Oliver injury! Brayshaw being taken out!! 2024 should be amongst it again! Go Demons!
  13. Did Dunstan play a game this year? Did Harmes play a good game this year? JJ was poor in loss against Blues, player 22-26 on our list.
  14. We got too many injuries in one part of the ground: Bbb TMac Petty Melksham Fritsch. Could connection have been better - definitely. Could goalkicking have been better - definitely. Just this component improves 10% and we are playing this weekend in the Prelim finals. If Petty & Melksham were available in finals, both of the above would have been better! Question - Who would you chase as a forwards coach? Forwards you would chase?
  15. Tomlinson is needed if May goes down. Otherwise see him getting similar opportunities to this year.
  16. I’m supporting anyone playing Pies or Blues!!
  17. We are lucky to have Demonland adds massively to my understanding of all things Demons and enjoyment! A huge Thank you to everyone mentioned above for doing a fantastic job and displaying a passion and time commitment that can only be loved and admired! Go Demons & Demonland! PS-Demonland also kick straight!
  18. In future if Maynard gets off: - every player can launch themselves late into the air to smother - not be anywhere near the ball - not have time to turn their body - hit the player in the head - and take out opposition player - no punishment - as it’s a footy act! A joke, total BS!!
  19. We lost by 7 points and had our chances, not 10 goals. Also key player knocked/taken out in first few minutes that upset team balance and shocked our players. Brayshaw not just a popular player but one with head trauma background - definitely unsettled our team in first quarter! Carlton beat Swans by one goal and a suspect goal review at the “G” with lopsided supporter presence! Demons beat Swans away at SCG by 21 points in round 24! Demons can and should beat the Blues, and past performances have earnt our support not abandonment, as many supporters on Demonland have forgotten the prior eight week’s performances! Yes, I recall we lost to Blues with pispoor VAR! Anyway, onwards and upwards Demons, will be at the “G” cheering you on loudly Friday night!
  20. JVR 1st year AFL forward and TMac at end of career recovering from injuries, both his speed and agility compromised, so would hope Pies two are better. Petty or Melksham play instead of TMac we win! Take out Mihicek or McStay, Curnow, Daniher or Hipwood, Port key forward, Hogan for Giants, King for Saints in last six weeks of season, and none of them win! Demonscdealt a [censored] injury run with key forwards this season, that has a major impact on forward line functioning! We looked like we had it made vs Tigers, take out Petty & Melksham - there’s your difference. Hard to find new structure when you keep losing key forwards! Coaching team can only do so much!
  21. Maybe 6 of our players played well, our goalkicking was bad, and we only lose by 7 points! We don’t need much improvement to beat the Pies!!
  22. No, but Crows did when they lost by 48 points. We have: Petracca Gawn Oliver May Fritsch Kossie Lever Viney Demons have made life much harder, but we still have a chance, and our coach has overcome the same obstacle as a player, we’re not done yet!
  23. Simon Goodwin played in the Crows flag winning team that the Demons belted by 48 points in a QF! So at least he knows what is required to come back!
  24. Well congratulations to Laura Kane if she did! Showing courage to do the right thing. Multiple reasons: - Maynard chose to take Brayshaw out, total rubbish he had no other choice - Footballers, ex footballers seem to stupid, or thick to realise, it’s to their benefit to protect the head, perfect example is Barry Mitchell father of Tom, life massively impacted by head collision trauma - Tom Mitchell’s action highlights his level of stupidity, obviously forgot his fathers problems - Richo, BT & co. Must have had incredibly thick skulls not to have been more severely impacted by the hits taken, but why they protect weak dog acts is beyond me - Could write pages on this topic but enough said! Most important point - hopefully Brayshaw is okay, for now and rest of his life!
  25. Unfortunately since doing his knee he is slow and struggles to move off a straight line. Pre knee mobility etc. he’s a lock in backline, post knee only a replacement if May injured.
