Did we just win a quarter? This might be the weirdest game I've listened to...

Thomas said at one point that "Melbourne won't know this, but they have Adelaide if they want 'em."

The umpires have been crucifying us, particularly in our forward line.

On one hand I feel for the demons, as they have tried hard, gotten first to the ball, worked hard. It's just our forwards may as well not be playing. I've never heard a forward line with so little likelihood of scoring chances.

And then when we get a shot or two, we can't kick them from the square... more than once!

I'm not sure whether or not to be completely [censored] off... I might leave it to those who were at the game. Jaded and others, over to you.

We just need to stop bombing the ball long and start playing smart patient football - we are getting plenty of the contested ball. Dees need to lift in the last QTR especially for Bartram.

yeah-hope we dont get blitzed in the last q.. are we heading for the lowest score in recent times?

The thing is, IF, and it's a HUGE if, we could possibly kick the first two goals inside the first 10 minutes of the last quarter we are only 2 goals down!! Wishful thinking after only kicking one goal for the match but we certainly aren't out of the game. But you're right, our forwards haven't had a sniff today, although I guess the weather hasn't helped. It's not like the Crows have kicked 12 goals themselves so it's not just us.

Newton cannot handle the pressure of top level football. Wona, Robbo, Watts etc. etc. as soon as one of those are available for selection Juice needs to be dropped. His effort is OK, he's just not up to it.

Sad to say, I think the same can be said of Miller. Big on effort, sadly lacking in execution.

I honestly don't know what to make of this loss. Kicking 4 goals is far from good, although the Crows kicked only 7 and we lost by 17 points. Compare that to last years game where we lost by over 10 goals and it seems we have improved... yet we haven't really.

Backline stood up well, midfield had a crack and our forward line was terrible. Bate, Newton and Miller all had under 10 touches each and neither of them kicked a goal. That just can't happen.

    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
