What a boring argument.

One person uses logic, states, quotes and thought to construct an argument.

The other person responds with generalisation and throw away comments, not to mention mis-truths.

This will be my last post on this issue as I believe I have stated my point of view pretty clearly and the thread will get nothing out of it continuing.

On person is watching the game, one person thinks the stats tell the story and they don't need to use their eyes.

I get that but he isn't bringing ball to ground. He's playin dumb wet weather footy.

I do appreciate the conditions are impossible. But Watts is playing more intelligent footy.

Inside 50s are the lowest since they started recording it as a stat in 1999.

Sorry Guys if it wasnt raining we would be looking at a worse result than last time and still nothing to say we wont get close if Geelong keep it up. :(

Disagree. The wet weather is a major disadvantage for us given we are hopeless at clearances and our best asset is our tall towards.

I'm happy with our tackling. We are going hard at the footy, which is all we can ask for when we are getting so comprehensively beaten.

Inside 50's this quarter are more than 15 to 1 and no forward line is going to look good if that occurs.

We are an ordinary side with poor disposal playing the best team in the comp for the 30th year in a row, probably, at their home ground in the wet, and they have big bodied players, we have skinny kids.

Dawes 3 possessions, Watts 4, Howe 5, Fitz 2 and that's because the ball is up the other end, continually; we need a midfield where Nat Jones is a third stringer, we need quality and we need class or the best forward line in the comp just won't kick goals.

Agree, the wet weather is hurting us. Usually it is the opposite with wet weather evening tans up bit it is killing any chance of uncontested possession as we aren't clean enough.

You are so spot on. We need players who will bring people through the gate to watch.

The effort is there, but half our side will not improve.

It must be a ruthless cull similar to the off field restructure.

Trengove, sylvia, grimes the most disappointing .

Dunn no good.

Toumpas, Gawn, frawley Garland Jones havin a crack.

I knew you'd respond with this. I almost wrote your response for you. One thing though - you forgot to address the logic, quotes and thought bit.

Yeah funny about that... Maybe because there was very little.

You're right. "Nah, they're just not trying hard enough" smashed the sht out of 45's argument.

If you're happy with that first half effort then I bet you're lobbying hard for Neeld to be our coach next year.

Trengove is not a captain and a very ordinary player since the sling tackle.

Just shows the flaws with Neeld's captaincy selection system. Trenners is a fine young man, probably a great leader around the club, but he's not an onfield captain, yet anyways.

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
