9.6.60 to 7.5.47

 

Should we be further ahead? Or are they just playing well to match us?

Trengove 1 kick 14 handballs to half time!

Up by 12 at half time..


would like to see wonna pick up

A quarter of two halves.

We were great in the first half of that quarter, and rubbish in the second.

I get the sentiments of playing Aussie, but gees if he isn't able to chase, he should have stayed home.

Jack Watts has had a hand in every single goal tonight, or close to it. Standout forward on the ground IMO.

McKenzie being done for holding the ball... OMFG. I nearly threw something at the TV.

And if somebody doesn't smash Chad Cornes' head into the turf tonight, I'll be disappointed. The guy is a piece of shite.

Why is that?

I cant remember ever giving advice before, so what do do base your comment on, given theres no precedent?

..Or are you just poopy cause you got excited, made a dumb brash comment and I called you out? demon_wink.gif

Ugh!

It got nothing to do with precedent. Well done.

Miller with 3 to half time is a good effort.

Even you could work that out....Well maybe. :rolleyes:

Watts, Miller and Green = a forward line and lo and behold? We're playing better.

nah made most of our chances up forwad but our turnovers through to overuse have cost us at least 3 goals

If we do not stop doing stupid mistakes in the backline we will win this game.

When we got 30 up we should have at least took some of the sting out of the game for 5 mins.

That desicion against Jordie was a disgrace and if McLaren got dropped for his few mistakes that umpire should be skinned and salted.

Watts has looked very good tonight.

Grimes needs to learn to not over commit, twice he has been made to look foolish and it has cost us two goals.

agree on wona he is at least 4-6 weeks away from being ready bit of a sentimental selection imho

Holy moly . . . Austin Wonaeamirri has been not-so-good tonight. He needs to get his body right if he's going to be an AFL player. Jetta, Jurrah, Watts, Bennell, Green, Petterd with the backline we've got and the mids we're building. Look out.


Darwin or not, Wona should not be in the team, he is weeks away from AFL fitness.

Gotta get going down the corridoor again. if we get 5 goals up again, just back off for a bit, keep possession.

Bruces disposal has been terrible also :)

Yeh, just terrible...again!

Yep wona has looked pretty off the pace, no real second effort tonight.

Not the sort of conditions to be carrying a player in either.

If he only gets 5 possessions he needs to kick or have a hand in 3 goals to even break even.

Nev Jetta is playing a great game. His tackling is incredible. He is tough and making great decisions. Can really play.

BOG so far.

What game are you watching?

Jack Watts>Nick Naitanui.

Jack Watts + 100 games >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> That guy with the dreads who played a few games for the Eagles.

This Wannaemerri selection could really come back to bite us. We are basically a player down.

Ive had a gut full of umpires ruining my football experience.

Miller and watts deep forward was working so why is miller now roaming the half back line Bailey????

 

wona moving like a turtle looks like he ate a kilo b4 the game

Sorry to say, he is the weak link at the moment, and he shouldn't have played, only two games at Casey Seniors, your kidding! But there is a 1/2 to go, Prove us wrong Aussie!!!

He, Davey and Bennell are loving it out there, you can just tell. They are like kids in a candy shop.

I've actually been impressed with our three big forwards tonight, for their ability to adapt to the conditions. Jack Watts is so ridiculously agile, which is why he went at pick 1. Does things that midfielders struggle to do, and is really really good at keeping his feet and bouncing straight back up.

Sylvia has been good, thank god. I'm not so sure about him rucking, but it's entertaining to watch. At least they have given him so much responsibility today, he has no choice but to pull his head out of his behind and get going. He owes us one after 3 terrible weeks.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
