Hopefully a bit of a wake up call for Beamer.

He needs to start performing soon.

Don't know how much impact he will have on the game when he is introduced though.

Can't say agree with this, would've preferred to drop him and give him a full run at Casey to get some form, but will be interesting to see how he goes as the sub.

I LOVE this idea.

Rather than drop him (which was probably warranted), Neeld has said, right mate you'll get a quarter and a bit to show us some intensity and skill once the game has slowed a little, show us what you've got.

Could be a good way to build his confidence back rather than partially destroying it by being dropped.

Although, if he doesn't come on and smash it he'll be a Scorp next week.

Don't know what people expect from him a quarter of football, racked up 6 touches and laid 3 tackles. Definitely not a great performance by any stretch and he is obviously out of touch, but I don't see what the aim of potting him is when in reality he didn't do too badly. He wasn't the one out there in the 1st quarter when we were being smashed in the centre and kept continually coughing it up when we had it, in fact he would helped the discrepancy in clearances. Don't necessarily disagree with a couple of weeks at Casey, but wouldn't go as far as calling him a 'dud' or a 'country footballer'.

My judgment isn't based on just today's game. I wonder if anyone can ever criticise a sub, since the excuse can always be made that the game is almost always decided already when the sub comes in.

Just put it down to a bad year, like a few others.

A few ? I'm assuming you didn't mean that literally because it's truckloads more than a few .

In fact , the issue is that we've only got about 6-8 players who have done well this year . Overall , more than 60% of our list are below standard . On top of that , our style of play is ugly and boring and virtually unwatchable .

We need to start all over again - with a big bunch of new players . That's the awful truth of it . The truth can often hurt but you're better off facing up to it .

Moloney hasn't had a great year but he's got about 20 mates . It's a team game and blaming this player or that player is quite laughable when you consider we've only produced 1 legitimate win .

The end of the season cannot come quick enough . Time for a major re-build .

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
