haha agreed

both had good periods and bad periods - overall not good enough... but in our situation we have to take anyone who'll give 100%

Again i agree both not up to AFL standard

The best game I ever saw McKenzie play he had 19 handballs and 1 kick. he is a competent tagger, but should never be allowed to kick the ball. I scream at the Teev don't give it Mckenzie, but hey never listen !!!!

Yeah, the tagger and the half back flank with the terrible kick.

Yeah, THAT is why we are bad...

WTF?

Can you not treat the thread as it's intended?

Didn't say it was champ, but they are two awful awful footballers who should never don the red and blue again.

Happy for Alastair Nicholson to dust off the black reeboks and have a kick again than have these [censored] play next week.

Get out

Right now they are starting 22. At least they have a crack. Today was the first game I watched every quarter. Mainly because these two blokes will tackle, harass, spoil etc.

It's guys like blease who have twice the talent yet still can't tackle after 5 years that are the problem.

And let taggert learn the game and get in the best a few times at casey before promoting him.

These two get no respect, and it's a shame. They are clearly not AFL standard, but they possess qualities we lack and until someone decides to start beating down the door at VFL level, these two will be in the side more often than not.

It's a pity we have to play them, but that's the way it is right now.

You know, actually, it is.

Today we actually gave a stuff, but it's our bottom group which is killing us.

McKenzie and Nicholson are firmly in that bottom group. Neither of them are AFL standard. They're not the only ones, sure, but they're part of the reason why we're stagnant.

Mate I thought we knew better than to use that appalling language. Disgraceful!

Both these two made horrible blunders late in the game that killed our confidence, and swung the momentum back to the tiges.

McKenzie gets the ball centre side of CHF,His peripheral vision is so poor he does not see the two free Dees players at half-forward until a Tiges players has closed down the space. He kicks the ball as if the Tiges players is not there. Kicks into him - turnover -goal.

Nicho - who played some really good footy and actually kicked well a ttimes - runs inside 50. He has a Dees player 10m to his right free. He ignores that option - chooses to take the body tackle without raising his arms out of the tackle, and gets pinged. Turnover. Goal.

These two acts stuffed up a really good effort today.

I would not go as far to say get out, but I was so angry at both these points. Can we not try Taggert / Tynan / Davis insread of these two?

Totally unnecessary language. You need to apologise to fellow Demonlanders who have family members struggling with physical disabilities. Come on, we stopped using this gutter lingo 20 years ago.

We're bad because we have no targets 50-80 metres out from goal. We need to either recruit a rich man's Brad Miller, or transform one of our many promising tall forwards into that kind of player. We consistently fall down in this area, and it kills us every time. I'm now convinced that this is the reason we're so bad.

In fact, this might be the perfect role for Jack Watts. He has good endurance, can take a mark and has a great kick. Get it done Neeldy!

Bail was awful.

Caught out of position a few times so he simply failed to compete or put any pressure on his opponent.

Scouted on goal, which was ok, but when he lined up for that deliberate shot in the last quarter I just knew he would miss.

Just not good enough.

And rpfc if you don't get how McKenzie kicking into the man on the mark killed us as we were pushing then you seriously underestimate the damage he did. A+ for effort but the skills just are not there and miskicks killed us today.

    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
