This thread is some kind of joke right?

For the sake of all humanity, can someone please confirm this is a joke!

Why would it be a joke? Do you not think he has added value to his name with his decent form in the last couple of weeks. I am not saying he should be traded i am just saying that his value would of increased. No Joke!

More travelling sideways as he learns a new craft, tagging the very best players in the league. I don't think Adam Cooney would think he's stalled

Fair enough. He has done some good tagging jobs.

I stated that CJ was soft because he has demonstrated on numerous occasions a propensity to shirk contests in the air and on the ground. Once a player has shown this side of their makeup it's a long way back for me. Granted his attack on the ball has been better of late, but I'll not easily forget what I consider to be major flaws in his football character. When the heat is really on in a final what sort of performance is CJ going to give his teammates ?

i'm sure you have seen, as i have, cale morton pull out of contests, but that is ok because he's younger and smaller than c.j? i understand the difference between finals football and home and away, but that does'nt mean every player on our list has to be as hard as nails. i have seen plenty of soft players have a major impact on finals (eg.michael long) who have done so because they have SOME hard players around them. i just think c.j is just now starting to adjust to the tempo of the game and feels comfortable, so who are we to stay his development stops here? lets judge him 12 months down the track rather than 5 weeks after he's started playing good footy.

btw, i have seen bradley, long etc pull out of plenty of contests. when long used to stick his leg out into an opponent to avoid contact, was as weak as shirking a contest imo, and he used to do it all the time.

There's no doubt that he needs to eradicate that aspect of his game as he gains confidence and physically develops. I cut him slack because he's a first year player and a far better footballer than CJ.

If he's doing it in his 3rd and 4th years I'll be dismayed. The credits don't last forever.

agreed, and i cut c.j some slack because he is obviously taking longer to develop than most. c.j had the size from day one at the club, but the confidence has come in the last 5 weeks. if he melts the first time the heat is on, i'll tilt my hat to you.

he's not a midfielder he's a running half-back flanker

i'm not saying he will be a gun, but he well might, at the very least I think he can deservedly and competently hold down one of the HBFlanks for a long time to come

    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
