Best player at the club at the moment.

Wrong. Jack Watts is the best player at the club. You don't hype up a player like that, before he debuts, without claiming him to be the best at the club.

/sarcasm.

Terrific game from him, and the sort of display we have all be waiting for.

The key is for him to just keep going and find that consistency.

I sincerely hope that he has finally turned the corner, because we sure can use his talent!

He certainly has a lot of talent. Surest hands ever, and is becoming one of those players who, when in possession, i am confident will do the right thing and something good will come of it. Good on him! Second time in three weeks that he has carried the rest of the team.

Outstanding game from Col.

His past month has been the sort of football that he should be playing. Never mind about winning or losing - if we can see a breakout year from Col, some experience for the likes of Watts, Grimes, Jurrah, Maric etc. , then I'll be happy.

Is climbing the B & F ladder awfully quickly is Col.

Is clearly in Career best form, its a credit to him. IMO he would be in All Aust form at the moment, lets hope he keeps it up for the rest of the year. Just needs some mates now to follow his lead.

Aaron Davey called to say hi... and he was at Brad Green's house at the time. Having a beer with Beamer.

On today's effort all three should be hanging their heads in embarrassment today.

Sylvia's last two efforts at the G have been awesome individual efforts that other more fancied players should be watching a replay of.

Moloney wasn't bad today, he and Sylvia were the only players who would kick the ball and create opportunities for the forwards.

Beamer was respectable today. On a type of day when the handball should be outlawed, his style of play actually helped us get on the scoreboard. He didn't put in 4 quarters though. Green was OK and made a target early on.

Hang on 'Geddy Lee', not quite all...

for me today.... Sylvia was great. Also thought Davey and Grimes good. Watts ok for his debut game....

If Sylvia's last month is a true indication of the rest of his career, then it's been well worth the wait.

Reminds me of the story of the famous story of the extraordinary trumpet player Wynton Marsalis.

Wynton's trumpet teacher was perplexed at how slow Wynton learned compared to the rest of the students. Young Wynton would take longer to learn things, and spent an alarming amount of time practicing basic elements, again and again.

As time went buy, the rest of the students plateaued, and little Wynton slowly but steadily closed the gap between him and the rest of the players. His rock-solid fundamentals help him form an incredible basis for tone, technique and technicality.

Wynton's improvement was much slower, his gradient much lower, but eventually he overtook the other students and kept going and going to become the greatest. And no-one remembers the names of any of the other trumpet players.

Beautifull, lets hope so.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    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
