Well, where's the improvement? Where's the consistency? Where's the competitiveness? That quarter was Daniher-era-esque. Everything has changed personnel-wise, but everything has stayed the same.

i don't mind so much that we're losing, but just the manner in which the team so quickly relinquished all control of the match is very disheartening.

A lot will be revealed in the second half i think.

It just seemed that after Bruce missed that goal, the rest of the team just stopped. Richmond were obviously on a roll, but no one in the red and blue actually stood up and took a stand.

i hope we see a different level of intensity in the second half, and some leadership from a few players

What happened in the 2nd is what would have happened in the 1st if Richmond had been able to hit a target.

Any danger of someone maning up on Deledio, McMahon, Foley or Tuck?

Ha! you tool.

Get a grip.

lets wait till the end of the game first.

He's right to the degree that NO TEAM SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO KICK 8 GOALS IN 10 MINUTE. Super flood the backline; whatever. Just do something.

You can't do nothing. Lead! There are no leaders on the ground. So Bailey must. :angry:

How quickly would you like things to change? When we have no established backmen in the team, no key forward and a midfield with an average age that could barely get into an American nightclub.

Give him time. I bet your were pretty happy in that first quarter. We just lacked the leadership to put a stop to the Tigers when they got a run on

Then the leadership must come from the bench. He must DO SOMETHING. Remember the tige's game last year?

If a coach has no leader's on the field, then he has nothing to work with.

How is a "super flood" great leadership, and if it is, why can't any of the players figure out that they needed to do it themselves? Rubbish to say it's Bailey, and he alone, who should provide leadership for this club

I'm calling for Baileys head, he's a complete hack!

What's this pathetic capitulation got to do with Bailey you moron. Is it his fault his players torch the footy, don't go hard AT THE BALL, and handpass to blokes with 3 opposition players breathing on them? I've never read a comment that summed ANYTHING up less accurately. You're a hack.

And fair dinkum, that umpire that paid the freekick against Bartram after Polak went down like a sack of [censored] should be hung, drawn, and quartered. What a disgraceful call. He should have paid it the other way for simulation.

A seriously insipid effort. If this is what his prospects are, Naitanui might just give football away for a year.

In a word yes! He's the coach, if he can't get them playing football that is likely to win games or at least stop a team from kicking ten unanswered goals in rapid succession, then it's his fault, the buck stops with him.

P.S. I find it quite funny how people on these boards resort to name calling and derogatory remarks at the drop of a hat. At least there's some passion amongst the supporters, passion for in-fighting that is.

There's no way Bailey can be blamed for no workrate. There are too many players in this team who don't run hard enough, either to make space or man up. You put that with woeful disposal and Richmond's hunger for the ball and of course we're going to be 6 goals down.

We didn't get near the bloody thing! What was it, about 50 touches to 12 over a period there? You can stick the whole sodding team in the backline and they won't be able to keep that volume of supply out. We were under siege. Just a pathetic, pathetic effort by the players.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
