Fire up Demons!

This is pivotal 666 replies to this topic. Is there a reckoning in the wings? (the devil made me do it).

Score sheet from the night has Gawn 5 goals. It was a remarkable performance from a 2.08 m ruckman. One goal was due to a handball receive from the centre bounce. One goal after Max marked within the 50 metre arc played on and kicked it around the corner from CHF. One goal when Max received a free kick from about 20 metres in front of goal. One goal from deep in the forward pocket where Max took the ball from a boundary throw in. One goal from a mark close to goal. It was the best performance l can recall from a ruckman in the forward line. Amongst a decreasing number of options up forward l’d expect this scenario to be considered by the FD.

In big Finals there has on occasion been unexpected selection/positional moves which have blindsided the opposition. (BMT of course!) Jack Mueller’s recall in ‘48 is the stuff of football legend. Max has goal kicking form in finals, who could forget the ‘21 Preliminary final where he gave the sCats five of the best?

Any spare Redheads lying around? Expected Josh the ‘Shack’ to burn the house down in the scratch match. Given he’s last tall forward available.

Firstly l’m wishing Angus Brayshaw a speedy and hopefully a complete recovery. Secondly a fair and just outcome in the post-tribunal wash up. If the AFL hierarchy are truly committed to minimising the impact of concussion accidentally, unintentionally or otherwise. Here is an opportunity for the AFL to act with authority and integrity by sending a clear signal competition wide. Subsequently there must be an appropriate consequence given. To do otherwise would be a failure of responsibility.

Brayshaw - unmercifully cleaned up Neal - Bullen - joeboy book specsavers

Beyond frustrating, played like merde yet the game was so tantalising close. Two decent kicks for goal was all that was needed, had enough opportunities last quarter to sink a ship thrice over. Line in the MCG turf. Not doing straight sets.

Staunched the bleeding get up off the canvas. Give these bullies some back with interest.

Front Bar tonight… Mick Molloy “ Blues will go deep into the finals this year” Asked how far “quarter time this Friday” Eddie, Tony Shaw Peter and Nick Daicos in the Collingwood box… on field footage Demons absolutely torching the pies 🔥

Fritsch off legs. Grundy back to the shoe shop?

Roan Steele! Saturday Matinee Idol finish.

Adding insult to injury, Carlton's first choice umpires appear to get a run.

TLTL Jefferson and AMW feature up forward. Goal!

Dare we say it... officially a demolition. Jimmy Munro may be having a holiday early next season. Meanwhile Luke's down the pound looking for strays.

Rohan Steele has some polish.

Casey showing some fight mini 3 goal blitz!

Absolute definition of unrealistic marking attempt, infringes, play on, goal.

Fllood gates about to open?

#4 bit off too much there.

Rohan Steel terrific effort! Goal.

Now that was a gem of a goal! Jimmy my man Munro.

50 metre penalty. Now that was a dog of gaol. Poor umpiring according to Campbell Brown.

Round 7 1987 http://www.demonwiki.org/Round+7+1987 quote "the Collingwood full-forward lost the plot and found himself reported". According to demonwiki there was a rematch later in the season (round 20), where Taylor was again reported. Demons won the stoush and recorded their biggest win at Victoria Park. Great days with Swooper at the helm.
