More excuses, just what we need.

Ah Benno, I find it very difficult to judge him when all he's got are spuds, and those spuds clearly aren't playing to the game plan (unless that game plan is to constantly kick to a 4 on 1, which if so definitely sack him!).

Jurrah isn't injured he is just bloody lazy

Jurrah needs to be dropped. He is utterly useless.

What happened to taking risks, going up the corrider. Coached to save his career tonight and it didn't work. Horrible performance from Dean tonight. Will rightly be shown the door at years end.

It's not excuses, it's a FACT. This week, and the next couple are irrelevant for anything but identifying talent that's not up to it. There's no point getting upset, we have no cattle at the moment. Tomorrow's game has more relevance that tonights game.

Hahahhaha. Look at the two teams. Look at them on paper.

We are a 10 goal worse team. He coached to win the game. Had we played up the corridor we would have lost by 100.

Dean's struggling but he'll be fine. The players also need to play for him.

If i remember John Worsfold was the coach most under pressure 12 weeks ago. Now he's controlling when he wants to renew his contract...

I sat at the punt road end. I realized that our forward structure was useless. The team looked like its coach was a dead man walking. If he needs advice from lethal, why don't we just get lethal to coach us. Tonights game was crap. Boring footy. I could coach better.

Why did we change our game plan for tonight? What was our game plan anyway? Play a loose man back and our forwards up? This was coaching ten years ago. He doesn't understand the modern game i feel.

i AGREE... SACK HIM...

he cant coach.. even Gary Lion was bagging his coaching....

Do we even have a game plan???????????

I disagree, look at every marking contest he's been involved in lately. He's barely getting two feet off the ground, I'd like to either see him have a week or a spell at casey with limited game time. The commentators seemed to think he's hampered as well so I'm not seeing it with rose-coloured glasses.

John Worsfold had a few more runs on the board than Bailey though. Coaching for his career for the rest of the season, but unfortunately for him he is doing it with half a list.

BS. No game is irrelevant. Wheres the passion, wheres the hardness every player who is out there should have this irrespective of the injuries. Even when we did have a near full team against the Hawks and WC we got smashed.

He couldnt do it with a full list, so injuries wont make any difference.

Jurrah does not have the tank to push up and back as often as he is doing in the first half, then by half time he is stuffed.

And we don't have a forward line, we have a few players hanging around the middle outnumbered for our backs to kick in the general direction hoping it will go out fdor a boundary throw in.

Agree.

What do players learn from this sort of rubbish and what an insult to supporters

I challenge any AFL coach 2 make players out of:

Matthew Bate

Michael Newton

Matthew Warnock

Cale Morton

These guys would not be stand outs in suburban leagues

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
