Where to from here?



Recommended Posts

We get Tom Mc back into the back but who else is going to stand up there? Move Grimes back there as the rebounder? Get Terlich in the side?

Dean Kent? Magner? Jetta? Davey?

Grimes, Grimes, Grimes, the number of times he handballed to a player under pressure today, he is not leadership material, I am not saying he isn't a good guy however I just don't think he is captain material. We need Mitch Clark, or Jonesy to take over the captaincy and let these young guys actually play footy.

Dawes will give us structure, but Mitch Clark will struggle with 6 day turnaround

Tommy Mac needed for the back line

Terlich BAA was close to BOG for Casey yesterday and we need him or Strauss to use it off half back, seen today if you have one outlet (Watts) and they cut him out of the game you are screwed

I like hard players who have a dip & that is Kent & Jetta so bring them in

Trenners despite the detractors does not get towelled up by opponents and his defensive pressure is needed through the middle

Blease's pace could be hand as well, we looked slow today but that was more because we were plat footed and second to the ball and hesitant with our ball movement

I"m seriously starting to think Roos. I can't believe I'm saying that.

Same here. We can't have a scrappy list and a mediocre (at best) coach and expect anything other than rubbish.

No more mucking around, no more assistant coaches, we NEED experience, REAL toughness that inspires rather than puts down, and some clues about setting up a gameplan.

Grimes had a go and got the ball. Half the time, it seemed that if he had some help and some players around him showing energy he might have been able to give it to someone who was moving. He is a bloody good leader surrounded by lifeless corpses - I reckon he can hold his head up.

Not much we can do.

Hope it is an aberration? Because what I saw out there was inspirationless, boring, timid, and terrible footy from all but 2, 7, 12(!), 13, 45, and 31.

They have had the life sucked out of them and you can't win footy games if you don't hunt the footy and take on your opponent - if all you are worried about is beating the bloke next to you - then he has already beaten you.

Neeld has his work cut out from what I can see.

Where do we start?

The board must go.

Mistake after mistake after mistake, and on big decisions like picking a new coach and football department, they gutlessly handed all power over to the self serving garry Lyon, who made the biggest blunders of all by thinking he was more astute than sheedy, Matthews and ridiculously not approaching malthouse. I am dumbfounded.

We must now Chase roos. He is proven. We can't afford to take any more risks.

Ps, who in their right mind would ever pick a speculative apprentice over a successful proven master.

I am dumbfounded on how stupid some people are. Unfortunately, we are now all paying the price. Many of you supporters must take responsibility for supporting these stupid decisions. We may be the stupidity football club in the land.

Ffs, we even play games in a white jumper. The worlds gone mad!

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    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
