Playing Bate and Newton was a selection blunder.

Think Bailey was outcoached today.

I agree- we went into this match down several players because of injury however- several just didn't do the job. Lost it at the selection table- Bail should have played as a tagger on Harvey.He killed Jones- killed us all day. Should have put Scully or McKenzie on him right from the start. We carried far too many-Garland put in a shocker and has been carried for weeks now.Newton is not up to it.We know what we need now- so up to us to draft again well.Need a fast crumbing back- similar to Harbrow at Bulldogs- another tall flexible player similar to a Ben Reid at Collingwood- a bulked up young tall- similar to a Chris Dawes at Collingwood -a ruckman(as stated several times- Mitch Clark would do me fine and a 189/190 bulked up centreman -similar to a Scott Thompson to get it out of the guts.Trengove maybe the one- but needs to get into the gym straight away.A HUGE pre season is required.Also changes required to our football dept. Like to see a new forward coach and a full time ruck coach.Wouldn't mind Dean Laidley becoming our Director of Coaching as well..

Bad luck to the Dees. Was a ripping game to attend!!! A very open affair where both teams had momentum at various stages of the game.

Fair to say.. .Corey Jones won North the match and good on him.

North have had our number over the years so to get within 10 points was a fair effort. We had a 10 point lead in the 4th.

Can I just say little Tom Scully's hip and shoulder to lay out the solid Levi Greenwood (who had a career best game mind you) was AMAZING. The kid has come a long way in one season.

It speaks volumes of Scully when he can still run out games till the end of the season in his first year. Absolute professional athlete who I can see leading the charges into a grand final in 5 years time :)

    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
