We have to win the ball at the contest. Our plan to win it back in 50 is killing us around the contest.

Riewoldt whinging to the umpires and swearing at them after the game. He had the audacity to have a crack at Kozzie. He can go and get [censored].

And Jones listed as injured. Any ideas?

Luke ‘dogga’ Jackson rising star favourite
The heart beats true replied to Dave1711's topic in Melbourne Demons
Damien Barrett spoke about Melbourne’s drafting from 2017 to 2019 on the AFL site over the weekend. 17. Spargo Fritsch Petty 18. Jordan Sparrow 19. Jackson Pickett Rivers All playing consistent roles for the team. He was essentially arguing we’ve drafted as well as anyone - particularly in 17 and 18 when we didn’t have early picks. One third of the team in 3 drafts is exceptional.- 142 replies

Sounds like a Demonland Game Day thread to me.

If Ben Brown doesnt play the rest of the year

I reckon he did his part today, so will be fascinating to see what the coaches do. I hope he is the missing piece for us. -

The heart beats true replied to picket fence's topic in Melbourne Demons
Not sure I’m buying the argument that Brown, who is known as a leading forward, will all of a sudden make our forward line better at contested marking. -
Bulldogs couldn’t have asked for a better situation than to play the Eagles at Subiaco without a crowd, in the rain.

Good to see the Casey game day threads are of the same calibre as the AFL game day threads. ?- 401 replies

Best highlight of last night's game!
The heart beats true replied to Bendigo_Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
That’s there supporter base in a nutshell. They grew up in the 80’s and 90’s thinking footy was winning a flag every second year and always being near the top. They are the epitome of entitled. And now their delusional relationship with cult figures from that era has put that club back 20 years. Most of them still think they should get Sheeds and Hirdy back and it’ll be just like 1993 again. -
I think this is the story of the game. We had periods of absolute dominance in the 1st and 3rd quarter. Had we nailed 2 extra goals each in those periods (which was very gettable) the game would have been over at 3/4 time. Our goal kicking was poor. Our forward connection was ok.

We didn’t freeze in the last 15 minutes. The last 3-4 minutes I thought we were exceptional. They threw everything at us, and we held our nerve. I think it’s worth asking yourself what you expected? We are playing at about 50% of our capacity and winning. We are one of the most watched teams in the league. Everyone wants to work out how to beat us. In that environment you don’t get a lot of free swings. We are doing what we can do. Don’t be so hard on the team.

I really like Devon Smith. No wait sorry, it’s Devon Scones I like. Always get them confused.

Bombers fans on Twitter calling for an inquiry into umpiring. Couldn’t agree more. Let’s begin with the round 10 Crows game shall we?

If Ben Brown doesnt play the rest of the year
The heart beats true replied to picket fence's topic in Melbourne Demons
To be honest Tom Mac, Harmes and Fritsch all had essentially the same shot in the 3rd quarter from a slight angle 45 out. The stats tell us they’d kick 2 out of 3 across the year. They kick those and it’s game over at 3/4 time. I’m not sure Brown is the answer. I think teamwork, cleaner ball use and better kicking for goal is the answer. -

Nailed it. -
I think that was a very determined win by our boys. Essendon are a side that’s playing with a lot of confidence, and I feel like we are a bit down on it. To do the hard things well and get the win was very important, and shows a good deal of maturity. Our kicking for goal is infuriating, but it’s not a pattern yet so let’s not over think it. I really enjoy knowing that Spargo, Brayshaw, Langdon and Jordan are going to put their body on the line when it matters. It’s not about being a superstar, it’s about maintaining intensity and going when it’s your turn. I feel like that’s the most pleasing thing about our season to date. The setting of standards.

GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs Essendon
The heart beats true replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I think folks struggle when he tries to draw 2 tacklers and free up a teammate with a hand pass. His handball to Harmes got us a goal out of it, but when he doesn’t nail it everyone’s on his case. -

I can only assume that Oliver is trying to draw heat to free up his fellow midfielders. When it comes off it looks great, but when it doesn’t it’s infuriating. -

May has been sensational. Jackson just needs to take his time and relax. His first shot that hit the post was a great kick. He needs to reward the hard defensive work and take his :30 seconds and trust himself. I feel like we are low on confidence. Get a bit more reward for effort forward of the ball and we will look a lot better.
