POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
FritschyBusiness replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I have recently started reviewing the season for youtube and whilst the wins are obviously great, I'm actually kind of excited to rewatch the Adelaide loss and see Oliver's performance again. The pies game not so much but it's all about the journey to be Premiers. The improvement and challenges in each game are great and there are some lessons in the losses. -
She can do it all, She is an absolute superstar

And now the 6-6-6 creates moments like Surely not another one, handball to Oliver, Streaming through... BANG BANG BANG BANG

I hear George Petracca Gawn was Max's second choice

Some solid statistics there AOB! I think the eye test is better than just looking at average points score and the game looks way better and is faster with this rule implemented. Also averaging every games scores means you are kind of handcuffed to how well the worst teams perform. Some teams get a lead and then just try to hold the game out so that affects the scoring line of both sides. I know when the Dees play I want our score to be as high as possible and the oppositions as low as possible.

A quote from Kane in the article “The stand rule did nothing to improve the game, it made it harder to watch, you got sick of the umpires yelling ‘stand’ and you’re requiring teams to play with 17 players instead of 18 which is a joke." Isn't that the point/award/advantage of kicking the ball more than 15 meters and taking a mark? so the player opposed of you has to man the mark and be at a slight disadvantage? I think the AFL got itself in a hole when it started to allow buddys "natural arc" which is just rubbish, run in a straight line like everyone else

Thank you both for elaborating on your points, I couldn't see Petty working at all forward so thats why I was seeking more from you. Definitely got nothing to stress about, (other than whatever injuries we cop in 2022) :) -

I understand that but Petty has always been a defender and IMO he is on par with Tomlinson. Tomlinson only lost 1 one on one and that was against the Cats after May went down with a fractured eye socket Our forward line only really clicked in the last four weeks and is pretty damn potent with Fritsch, Brown, McDonald, Spargo, Neal Bullen and Kozzie with Jackson coming off the bench. Who would Petty replace if playing there? Our backline has Lever, May, Petty, Salem, Hibberd and Bowey with Rivers coming off the bench. Who would/should Tomlinson replace? Im curious as to what makes either of you think Petty would show more potential as a forward? -

Why oh why would either of you want to take a 21 year old premiership defender out of his position he held down for 19 games and an entire finals series with no problems? It's Tomlinsons problem now to try and break into a premiership side -

Macrae got crunched 4-5 times hard in the first quarter. In the first 5 seconds Viney absolutely impales him, then Salem spears him like Goldberg about 75 seconds later. I don't think its coincidence they both went in hard on the same player. I think it was a directive to tackle him hard and rattle him. He had his second lowest disposal count for the year (by 1), I think the hits had an impact on him physically and mentally. I watched a lot of bulldogs games this year and he never got that sort of attention from opposition. -
We are the best team in the comp so I'm happy to play anyone. Don't mind playing the dogs round 1 but I'd love to see us vs Geelong round 1 at the MCG on a Friday or Saturday night. Save the grand final replay for round 3/4/5 when that can be the big feature of the round.

I was sitting on the couch with my arms crossed hoping we weren't done and got this text message from my mate. I thoroughly enjoyed texting him back -
POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs

This play is one of my favorites of the game because his choices directly affect the Oliver goal after it. Daniels is playing on Sparrow, He leaves him to put pressure on Oliver (as Trealor is not going to impact or pressure his disposal at all) but by the time Daniels gets to him, Oliver loops the handball over to his man Sparrow, who is only on his own because Daniels chooses to leave him as Trealor can't catch him (who was having his own mental battles at this time, drops his head a lot). His actions (the shepard half bump) to me seem like a kind of "giving up" moment. He knows he's left his man open behind him. The very next play, as Oliver is streaming through a rattled Daniels doesn't leave sparrow to put pressure on since his previous decision gave Sparrow a goal just seconds ago. This split second decision Daniels makes to not go gives Oliver the space to go BANG BANG BANG BANG Man, I love footy -

Here is the reason why, I set the link so when you click it, it goes right to where Rick tells the story -
Any chance of Marty Hore getting on the Casey list for 2022?

The Petracca v McCartin debate reprised
FritschyBusiness replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
We almost took Billings, Roos rated him over Kelly but we got the Tyson deal done and took Salem -
By great I mean like GEE GOD BOY WOW. I enjoy a stupid fun call like that when the right energy in the game is there and at that stage of the Hawks prelim it was PTD, Party Time Dees. All your points are on the money and really well articulated. He is the most distracted caller out there yet dominates the call, I think have him with JB creates a bad unit, they are too good a mates and the call becomes way to relaxed rather than proffessional. I really liked it in the grand final when it suddenly dawned on him to give uninterrupted Daisy some airtime. She's fantastic

it was his questions that got to me.. Oh boy he is such a great player, Isn't he? WOW what a play that was, wasn't it? I have a lot of respect for Bruce, I think he's in the same echelon as Dennis Commetti but I think it was time. Both those BT gems are amazing calls, up there with JB's Bang, Bang Bang Bang. The thing I've noticed about BT is that he is a bit of a downhill skier of a commentator. When the games great, he is great but when its a bit slow, contest to contest footy game; he is the worst commentator to listen to (excluding Kelli Underwood who is just the worst all the time). There was a Dees game where he couldn't stop talking about how quiet the crowd was. The crowd was silent as the gameplay was kinda slow at that stage of the game. It was pretty obvious but he just couldn't focus on calling the game. I just wanna hear about the footy

I emailed the club (Demonshop) yesterday, I had ordered a cap, mug and mouse pad on the Monday after the Grand Final because it seemed like most the other stock wouldn't be sent til November. They said they haven't even received the stock yet from the supplier, so its not even on its way to us...even though the website indicated that they were. " Thank you for contacting The Demon Shop. We can confirm we have received your order. We do apologise for the delay in getting your order to you. We are having some issues with the fulfillment warehouse that we are currently using. We are working alongside our warehouse to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Once your order has been shipped you will receive a tracking number so you can see updates direct from Australia Post.

So maybe it is on its way now

I gotta throw Lever into that mix as well. He had the best year an intercept defender has ever had in the history of our game

If they are printed then they are not real signatures, who wants to pay $600 for a photocopied ball?

It took me up until round 23 to get used to
