My god. Some of these results.

Jordan Lewis is absolutely cooked, never pick him again
Dappa Dan replied to DeeSpencer's topic in Melbourne Demons
Problem with Baker? He may not turn out too good, but you have to give them a try. Hard when Lewis is taking his spot. -
Say what you want, I’m proud of this club this year.

I was hoping for 2 all year, even from the start... We got three. Big year. -

He'll be fine next year. We gave him a three year deal and that's what we got. But in 2020, with Baker and Hunt still waiting their turn, we really should be future planning. -

That, I suspect, is how the majority of die-hards feel. The inroads made during weeks 1 and 2 of finals will be felt for seasons. I wanted two finals for us this year, and we got three. You could argue that today was a huge setback and could hurt us long term... But missing finals on percentage last year led to us redoubling our efforts. So you never know, it could be just the reality check they needed. If anyone on here isn't excited about 2019 as a demons supporter, then they don't know football. -

Yup. If you want to find things to complain about, you're welcome to... But if you talk about stepping stone years, you really couldn't have asked for much more. We've got it where it counts across the whole 22... The heavy lifting is being done by 22 year olds who are winning multiple finals off their own boots. We're the envy of the entire competition list wise (except for Pies, Tigers and WC)... It's good to be a demon, even today. -
Yeah. It's funny, in my minds eye before rewatching the Matthews one, I thought I saw Matthews left hand get under the leg a little bit and flip him slightly. As it turns out, that was just my imagination. I'm confident this one will calm down. Sadly in the AFL, the same thing happens... an off season will yield some dicey rules, and the interpretation is what will adjust. I feel like the NFL will do the same thing we do, and never outwardly accuse refs of bad calls, until it's in their interests to do so... But over time, they'll calm down a bit. What'll end up happening, is QBs will be pushed open palmed and not tackled anymore... A push from a lineman in this league will take down all but Big Ben, Cam and Wentz maybe.... along with the super elusive guys. Perhaps that will become the new norm.

Couldn't view second for some reason. But the lifting up thing... like so many rules, you could argue a LOT of tackles are lifting up types. I think the interpretation was far too strict. That's just my opinion though.
-
Have they ever @Gorgoroth Long way to go but it feels like Rams at the moment in the NFC.
-
We can all always laugh when it's a bad call and it doesn't affect the decision. I think we're going to see a number of games decided by these situations. This one might not even end up the worst.
-
Would I? I dunno. I think I might have missed it during game time... Not good, is it. I think you should be rightly aggrieved.
-
Dayum. Why are these all so hard? Packers, Pats and Raiders.
-
It can't be back to back ties can it...
-
Feels like Packers game to lose.
-
Looks like it wont cost them. FG to win it for Saints.

Post Match Discussion - Semi Final
Dappa Dan replied to Wollongong Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
[censored] STRAIGHT SETS! And who? Fremantle? Gold Coast? GWS? no.... HAWTHORN. Cats (186).... then Hawthorn... It's perfect. The whole [censored] thing is perfect. -
Yeah that's a good point. As a single player should he have won more superbowls? Maybe. Could he have played better individually? Hmm. That would be a hard case to argue. Broncos NFC?

Late to the party, but I take Rodgers. I actually take Manning over the period when I fell in love with NFL. Had him just ahead of Brady. Both had already done enough to be first ballot hall of famers when I watched my first game. But there's really no denying what Brady's done. For so so long... Manning in his 40th year was throwing ducks all over the place and had a great defence get him over the line. Brady won the MVP and I watched him throw 500 yards in a superbowl at the same age. That said, I have the same "Rodgers under Belly" theory as some people. I just love watching him play. In a way I don't with Brady. It's a great question... which prompts the next one... Brady 5 rings... Rodgers 1. Underachieved?
-
@Macca Chargers, Panthers and Philly... Not confident on any. This is a tough week.
-
Just before the end of the game they went for it on 4th down. lol
-
Good solid win rams. Did what they had to do and more. Nothing changes over the off season.
-
Nope. Rams pick 6 loses it for me.
