I think I've overestimated Kent's ability.

He should be developing at Casey. dont judge him too hard.

Toumpas seems to be finding the ball alright

Lazy. Gutless. No effort.

No what we've seen so far under Craig, so what the hell is going on today?

Playing Geelong?

Nothing untoward said Fat Eddie, to Johnsons knee to Jones' head. Wet weather footy he said........Unbelievable.

still only 5 goals, we are a bit lucky

I don't get all the talk about our lack of skills... the team hasn't really changed over the past 15 weeks.

Only the effort can change, and it has. I think they are at least having a crack, but are totally outskilled by the #1 team in the competition, and there isn't a whole lot we can do about it.

I think Toumpas is having one of his better games 12 disposals,5 tackles and very nearly a nice front and centre goal 48sc. Makes the right decisions.

We new we would be out skilled, you cant have Nicholson, kent, m.jones, dunn getting kicks in the midfield and be successful.

Im just glad every smartarse thing stevyj has tried to pull off hasn't worked today.

Remember, nobody wins down here for a reason.

To say our boys aren't trying is naive at best and malicious at worst.

Too many stupid kicks and handballs in wet weather!! No brains!!! Dumb dumb footballers ! Very disappointed

Posted

Some of our tackles still look like hugs.

That and we don't try and brush off a tackle like the cats. We just go and fall to ground.

Posted

Wet weather footy shows up how much guts you have, and right now we look like we have less than Kate Moss.

Posted

The opposition can make the effort look bad.

Have to respectfully disagree there Nash. They can make the skills, organization, and game plan look bad, but effort should be noticeable regardless.

Playing Geelong?

Still getting paid to get a kick at the highest level of our national game. They just do not work hard enough.

Posted

The opposition can make the effort look bad.

Effort is not something this list is known for. Just cast your eyes over the past 6 years and there lies the truth!

Posted

To say our boys aren't trying is naive at best as malicious at worst.

You watching the game mate? Have you noticed the weak tackling and lack of run, even compared to the last couple of weeks? We look like we're playing under the weight of 186 today. Dispirited and gutless.

Posted

I still reckon the boys have another gear of hardness to tap into. They just don't go hell for leather, and wet weather footy against Geelong shows that as clear as crystal.

Posted

I'm not unhappy with our effort at the contest but our decisions with the ball (ie we are to show and need to take the first option) and our lack of "spread" into space to provide those options is the big problem.

Geelong luck to contests only when going forward, to the 50 out deep. We kick to contests directly or of the back line.

I don't care if we don't get the ball past half way but we need to get chains of disposals happening. 3 4 or 5, even if all are short and sideways, just get ball in hand.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
