Coburg Tigers v Casey Scorpions 2/5/09

Recommended Posts

For those thinking of staying home to watch, I urge you to reconsider. Coburg always have a very sizeable contingent of loyal fans at home games. I know it's not like a big afl crowd, but when our boys get on a run it can be difficult to stop with the fans behind them. Add the cousins contingent to the equation and you will find a very intimidating atmosphere come tomorrow arvo. Anyone who can make the trip down to support the boys would be doing them a great service. You can always tape the game and watch it again later. As added incentive, they have great BBQ hot dogs and really good ham and salad rolls plus decent coffee if the weather is cold. And how could you miss the messiah's first outing? Plus it's always nice to get the suburban footy feel (which Coburg city oval has in spades) and also get up close to the players and listen to the coaches at the breaks.

Newtons first half would make him a definite next week. Ran hard took marks and kick goals. Watts looks great when his had his hands on it aswell. Dees players look good.

The poor kicking skills of the VFL listed players are killing me. Not that I should care, but I want Watts to get more opportunities!

His first goal in particular was class. That he firstly took a mark against 6 players, and that he then had the quick reaction time to play on (although it was clearly a mark) and kick across the body, was just great. He can truly play both tall and small, which is pretty rare for a forward.

Whelan is also way WAY too good to play at this level (his damn body is a curse), and it's great to see Bail and Grimes getting into the game.

McNamara, having never seen him before, is quite impressive. Has great speed. Mind you, we've got so many tall defenders at the moment, it would be better if he was played as a forward.

Newton has found his level. That is his comfort zone, and he cannot apply himself to a higher level of skills/speed.

Plenty of good VFL players never made the transition. He seems to be one of those.

Agree with most of that watts really hasnt had a decent kick inside 50 to him.

Although i havnt seen much of grimesy hasnt done to mcuh.

I hope he comes ino it this next half.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
