Will any of our players get anywhere near the quality of that Hawks team? I long for those days! Was amazing footy, most noticeably to me the speed and momentum of the clearances

The ones who commit will. Those that train in their own time.

Those that we recruit with the right character.

Our efforts at recruiting in the past must be totally revamped.

September Football is the yardstick always.

We are 2000 light years away from it right now.

Makes me angry.

    Makes me depressed.

    Mitch Clark gives me hope though, he has that type of character, and he's the best sign of our new recruiting. Gives me hope, if only the tiniest bit.

    Mitch Clark may have to help the process. Talking to prospective recruits.

    He has the attitude to succeed. I don't see it elsewhere on our list yet.

    Jones?

    McDonald?

    McKenzie?

    Jamar?

    I see the hope to succeed in those guys, but not yet the attitude. I guess that comes with confidence.

    Nope. Compared to last nights game, battlers.

    Mitch Clark attacks the contest with authority. There is a huge if subtle difference.

    I have heard the same .

    Attitudes can be "adjusted".

    Ball magnets are worth it .

    Sometimes attitudes can be, Biffen, and sometimes they cannot. As a thought experiment, think of a loved one. Have they ever tried to change something about you? Have you actually changed?

    now Gys is at a footy club - it is his job. How much have you changed for an employer? I've left several when change rubbed against the grain.

    "You hire people for what they can do; you fire them for who are they are".

    If Mitch can make the difference he has, imagine if we picked up a couple of FAs with great attitude, another around the 24 yr old mark, Jack Viney and a couple of hard working draft kids. Could turn around the attitude and work ethic of quite a few on the list. I'm suddenly excited.

    Forgive me for having a small moment of optimism. Normal programing will resume shortly.

    Confidence can snowball can't it. We looked to be walking a little taller when Mitch was playing, a few more blokes like that and the whole attitude of the group could turn around.

    Just mentioned on the VFL finals commentary that Gys and Cook have not been exited from the club. Interesting.

  • Quote

    Watching Cook on ABC, he moves slower than Matty Bate I reckon.

    Smith for Casey has something about him. I also like Wall, shame he left Casey and is now playing for the opposition.

    Was just thinking the same thing about Smith. Good size isn't he.

    I find it funny watching Cook, he has the head size of a power forward but his body doesn't match it!

    I'm sure they said that both players had been DELISTED by the club during the week.

    Yeah, Cook doesn't seem to have much fire in his belly. Doesnt crave for the contest and struggles to get in the right spot. Still young though. If he's been told to go jump, why is he playing at Casey?

    My impression was that they said there had been rumours of it.

    Cook, takes a good mark, then kicks it straight to an opposition player 15 metres away.

    The worst thing was, he picked the bloke out.

    Wasn't smart.

    They corrected themselves after that comment when given a message from someone from the club

    At least when Jack Watts was coming through and out of touch, he at least had football smarts.

    The message probably was "not yet"

    Cheers, thanks - I'm channel flicking between the game and the punt.

    I dont see how getting rid of a low pick that has shown potential after only giving him 1 chance to prove himself is a good call.

    Can you honestly see Cook playing in September on the MCG?

    Can you see ANY of our players doing that?!

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
