The Ugly

The desicion in the 2nd quarter against Trengove for sheparding. Players are entitled to utilise thier bodies when they are in a superior position to protect the drop zone of the ball. ESPECIALLY when that player had a ligitimate play at the ball until infringed against. Disgusting and should not be accepted at AFL level.

Good:

Trengove

Watts

McKenzie

Bad:

Blind kicks forward

Handballs to opponents

Not even trying to win the ball at ground level

Our tall defenders being outmarked by midfielders

Not bringing Warnock into the side to sit on Hall again

Ugly:

The Umpires

Sam Blease's effort

Mindless player bashing on this forum.

Are these points not contradictory? Your one ugly point is to target the performance of a first game sub who came on when the game is over WTF?

I know exactly what that looks like, but as I have just posted in the Sam Blease thread, he made a truly abysmal effort that resulted directly in a shot on goal. For a fresh player who is supposed to be fast, being burned off and failing to chase his man who ran the length of the ground to take an uncontested mark in the 50 was a terrible effort and deserved to be noted as such.

I'll add a point to the Ugly incidentally:

The drunk yobbo Melbourne supporter sitting near me who hurled a constant stream of abuse at LJ. We don't need people like that following the team.

Gotta be a new record. A first gamer is on for a quarter and a bit - of his first game, just to emphasise the point - and he gets carpeted by a 'supporter' of the club. Superb effort that.

Care to address the actual point raised?

THE UGLY : Bennell and Morton's soft exploits in the Demon jumper. I have never seen softer at the club. I hate publicly slamming players and don't make a habit of it, but these guys leave us 2 short on field and the selection of them is sending a cancerous message to the playing group that not going hard enough will remain unpunished.

I would like to see every soft, short-stepped, half-hearted, one-handed and shirked contest tallied at the end of each game for these 2 guys.

The resultant number should then be the exact amount of blindfolded shirt-fronts received from Beamer at training in front of the playing group.

Any turning, bracing or cowering on Beamers approach shall result in another.

At least the message would read that "you will pay the price for the honour of wearing the Demon jumper, so bloody well pay it on the field!"

This.

People will say Morton is the 'whipping boy' - that is such [censored]. Morons, that believe every single top pick we've got will come good, call him the whipping boy. Lukewarm efforts, week in, week out. I can't believe he gets a game. Bring back Evans and Tapscott, ASAP.

Bennell - I can't stand watching this guy go up for 10 aerial contests every week and fail to influence any of them. He even jumps for uncontested marks and fluffs it sometimes. A rare talent for being horrible overhead.

    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
