GAME DAY - ROUND 1, 2013

Featured Replies

Viney is the only positive.

We have so many stupid, stupid footballers.

That is under selling our list a bit, I'd be happy to have stupid footballers at the moment, I don't know what I'd call these blokes we got.

 

"Port benefitting from Watts in defence, he is doing nothing" direct from the radio.

" he has to man up when they are coming into the fwd 50"

Hard to see where the fix is going to come from. Viney and jones can't do all the midfield work, Clark can't do all the forward work. I

 

Luke tapscott that was a stupid effort to try and kick the freak goal should have let the ball run over the line ffs so many dumb footballers!

Quarter time stats.

Clearances 13-6. Of these 11-1 in 'stoppages', as opposed to 2-5 in our favour from the centre.

Disposals 88-72 (clearly improved in this area and got our hands on the ball in the later part of that quarter)

Tackles 16-12

We've had 35 kicks, 37 handballs, they've had 53 kicks and 35 handballs.


Poor skill execution I expect but laziness? Still?

All I can say is thank god for beer we will get spanked today look like chooks with there heads chopped off

So whose the touted #1 draft pick this year?

 

Absolutely woeful, no pressure on port, the few poor tackles we managed to do usually lead to a port free for high contact. I dont know if its their zone defense or inability to man up but port if finding it remarkably easy to rebound from our stuff ups.

Clark and Viney the only two working their butts off.


It's just too easy for Port ATM - bypassing our midfield too easily. Can't hang anything on Watts, he's not been too bad. Positives: Viney, Howe, Clarke. We're getting better at centre clearances. Here we go for 2Q...

I don't even rate Dawes, but he will help our structure alone ten fold.


Clarke kicked two goals in succession and they take him off!
Then Howe bombed it in and we had no-one, Port taken it down the other end and goaled, bad coaching move to take him off.

Dawes will help alot, if Sellar can't hold onto marks he is useless.

All I can say is thank god for beer we will get spanked today look like chooks with there heads chopped off

That's disrespectful to chooks. We a mile off the second worst team I've seen this round.

Viney 8 disposals in his first q of afl football.


So far, Viney aside, we sound like Melbourne of 2012. Same issues - no structure, no clearance work, no pressure, no hardness, not enough inside 50s.

May the 2nd Quarter improve...PLEASE!!!!

Buuuppp booowww under 30 seconds goal Port....

Gillies... shocker...

My mate is at the game sms'd me the following:

'Slow, unorganised, reactionary so far'


Could be over by halftime if this keeps up.

We're continually trying to free Watts up as a loose man in defence. 3AW is very critical of this. Watts isn't giving us anything, and in turn, they've scored 7 goals, so it's clearly not working. What it's doing is confusing our defenders and causing others to mop up after Watts who isn't manning up on anyone.

We are the worst football side in the comp and by a long way I am disgusted

 

Robert Walls - our fitness isnt up to scratch. A worrying comment for second quarter round 1

    From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
