  1. binman posted a post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Two players who have been applying very little pressure inside 50 being dropped also coincides season high tackles inside 50 numbers - a key element of our win discussed by both coaches in their pressers.
  2. I think it's Steph currie's three point sign, which would be appropriate given he flushed it from outside the arc
  3. And very much unlike the first 5 games our last quarter's pressure rating was our highest for the game. That's the first time that's been the case. Good signs Team pressure Quarter For Agn Diff 1 189 174 +15 2 185 159 +26 3 179 160 +19 4 195 163 +32 Match 187 164 +23
  4. I wore dees socks as well.
  5. This is something I just don't get. People want us to play aggressive transition footy with quick ball movement like the best teams currently do. But the problem, and key weakness, of that game plan is it impossible not to risk giving up goals on the counter. Can't have our cake and eat it too. And besides, our bacline was missing two All Australian defenders, the twin pillars of of our backline. It was a brilliant defensive effort today I thought, particularly in the last quarter when Freo were coming and mutiple defenders made potentially game saving spoils and tackles.
  6. Controversial is not the word that comes to mind.
  7. I heard there was a problem with the delivery of the eggs and none were found inside 50
  8. 'Yearn go be taken seriously by the football world'? That's one of the funniest things I've ever read on dl. Brilliant. By the by, I yearn to take the football world seriously.
  9. Oh no, we've become a banana peel team! Next stop King's birthday is our GF.
  10. Omac's selection brought a football related smile to my face for the first time in weeks. Love it. Seriously impressive effort to get back playing AFL footy after being delisted and copping not one, but two very serious, long term injuries. Respect.
  11. I thought it was a good move selecting him because we need his kickong skills (though it made little sense to make him a sub). But agree, he's not been great. Goody flagged changes - I'll be fascinated if he follows through and who he brings in (surely Brown comes in given his terrific pressure at Casey)
  12. Which highlights one of the problems of not dropping players when they should be dropped.
  13. I'd stick with - geez our jumper is the best. Great colours.
  14. The crazy thing is as furious as i was, and still am, about our performance lsd5 week, I'm starting to get excited about going to the footy on Saturday. As always, we'll know 10 minutes in if we've come to play. My mood will revert very quickly if the answer we haven't. I picked the wrong season to start following the spurs.
  15. True 'nuff.
