Martin - little to enthuse

Showed some real athletic ablitity with spins, turns and dodges. It was enough for me to see that he can only get better.

And that tap to LJ was magnificent!

He is very athletic and quick for someone who is about 200cm tall, and his kicking is really improving.

Just think how little time he has spent learning the 3 positions he has found himself playing this year, and you can see how remarkable he is in his ability to adapt.

jordie mckenzie scared me every time he got the ball

bate was ok.. not a game to forget imo... got alot of the ball and most of the time used it pretty well

You're way too harsh on Frawley. He was great today and had the umpires not been playing for the Blues would have had even better numbers. You need to remember that the three goal burst by Fev was while Frawley was on the bench.

Bate was one of our better players for mine. He wasn't a star, but he was pretty solid all day which is more than most can say.

Martin was great. He took the no. 1 ruck role and did a great job both at bounces and around the ground. His disposal is improving too.

You obviously were at a different game mate. Really hard on Bate and others. Open your eyes.

Bate - game to forget - harsh. Very harsh. Thought he presented well and was busy all day.

Cheney - steady but unobtrusive - don't mean to be mean, but I thought he wasn't as good as he has been.

Davey - couldn't break shackles - Actually, he did didn't he? I think he had something like 20 touches after half time.

Frawley - tried but failed - when he was on him, he did quite well didn't he?

Petterd - insignificant until injured - ??? He was hurt within minutes wasn't he?

Valenti - short , little else - Now now...

Love your work Joeboy. Not your best week though.

On reflection ,the only one I may have been a little harsh on was Frawley , but, in my defence , whilst he did keep Fevola to 2 goals in the first half , I suspect that it was more to do with the poor delivery to the Flues' player rather than Frawley's successful 'stopping' .

Bate - was running in circles most of the time IMO and his disposal was poor .

Davey - broke the shackles in the last quarter when the game was already lost and he was given free reign in the back line without a Joseph tag .

Valenti - had little impact as an on baller , and could make no impact with his kicking or handballs .

Cheney - the comments were for today's game , not previous ones .

Fair enough. I'll reword the Cheney.

Frustrated a little. In other words, I reckon he can and has done better... Though again, on reflection, he was up against it on a hard day for defenders.

Jetta - rising star nomination?

Against Garlett? Not a hope. But a bloody good game from the Jet and a good sign of things to come.

"Morton - beaten by midget"

[sigh]

I take it that means you didn't notice Garlett kicked two of his goals on Sylvia, and another on Rivers? (Yes Rivers - caught in a mismatch on rotation.)

Nice exercise, very very poorly executed. Bate was ok, Cheney poor, Martin encouraging and Davey to be applauded for not throwing the towel in, as he would have once.

Spencer is tall though, I'll grant you that ;)

Yeah, I figured he has one game left.

He has some obvious weaknesses but he's starting to look very composed in traffic. He's a bonus as far as I'm concerned. He'll be a very intersting one to watch over the next couple of seasons.

Very harsh here. Bate was pretty good. Played midfield more than forward, when he really should be spending more time at HF.

Thought Frawley was very good on Fev. Most of Fev's good stuff came when McNamara was on him.

What absolute crock of [censored].

If the Blues gave great delivery to Fev, not even Glass, Rutten, Silvagni, Jackovich, Scarlett style combined super Full back could've stop Fev.

A good defender wins 50/50 contests. It's impossible to stop quality forwards when they get quality service.

Frawley beat Fevola in the 50/50 contests.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
