Couldn't get to the game this week, and have just finished watching the game on AFL video. We won that game far too easily. If Freo had the same kicking efficiency as us we would have won by only 20 points.

The Good

Two young ruckman.

Jordie McKenzie (and the serious man-love from the commentators)

Jack Watts. His aerobic capacity for a bloke that size is amazing.

Dan Nicholson

Howe. He reminids me a bit of a young Ken Hunter who played for the Blues in 70's and 80's.

Brad green's leadership.

Scully's ability to read the play at a stoppage and win the ball.

The Bad

Bartram's disposal when there was zero pressure.

Handball that much against most other teams and we will get murdered.

The crowd.

The Ugly

Fremantle.

    The Good:

    Further developement of McKenzie and Watts

    12 different goalkickers.

    The Bad:

    Jurrah. If the delivery into our forward line was so bad for Jurrah to thrive today, how come another leading forward in Green managed 5 goals and 9 shots on goal? Youve gotta learn to demand and find your own football.

    Lack of a crowd.

    The Ugly:

    The burger bar being shut.

    The continual confusion over who Maloney, Pettard and Bartrum are on here. Who the hell are these guys?

    It's an opinion.....as the end of the paragraph would suggest. Go easy friend. B)

    Fair enough...i just think this is our first real test in 3 years. If the team is up for it we can win.

    RM I think you are being a bit hard on "marking on Johnston"

    in that second quarter he got one from a suspect free kick and another from an out of bounce on the full.

    I thought he had all the luck go his way.

    Agree with you on the ruckman.

    If Jamar, Spencer and Fitzpatrick had not gone down on the one day we may never have seen both these guys play together.

    In fact I wonder if Gawn would have played this year.

    As for Carlton their day is August 6th.!!

    The second Qtr was the only time their midfielders got the ball away quick, on a few occaisions. They hurt us for a bit, then it was all over.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
