I was at the game today and after reading through thie thread thought I would make some comments. Box Hill had some serious tall boys up forward, but they won it through some outstanding midfield run

I don't want to be mean to the Casey listed players but there are obvious issues there. I have seen quite a few of their games this year. They are young and small. They have lost too much experience o

Michie had 30 touches and tackled hard all day. Not overly damaging with the ball but certainly wasnt a bad game

Michie clears it from the middle, kicks it 50 and Fitz takes a big contested pack mark at CHF.

Kicks the goal.

Could be a bit sore though.

We've missed shine chances er could have taken. But similar to our AFL opponents we have been taking shots from difficult angles.

Box Hill has class by foot that Casey doesn't.

Great strong contested mark by Gawn again.

I'm a bit disappointed Michie doesn't stand out a bit more.

Haven't seen a lot out of him.

Bit hard when on the HFF for the second qtr. Delivery in has been abysmal. Agree with an earlier post they dont play as a team. Back line run it well but with no sense of purpose.

Can I stream this?

It's on abc

No wonder the afl umpires have no idea, the development umpires have shown today that there is no pressure on any of them, these guys are awful

It is hard, and Michie has since shown up a bit since being more in the middle.

In fact, him finding more of the foot coincided with our burst of goals.

I find our run is stifled a bit by some of the less-experienced or game savvy Casey players.

Just before the end of the quarter Barry was running up the wing, and would have completed so great link play from HBF to HFF but the Casey player (19?) didn't come forward or move, and instead stood flat footed waiting for the looping handball from Barry.

Barry should have been able to keep running and receive the ball back in a 1-2 play, but the Casey player waited for the ball to come to him, letting himself get covered, and didnt move once receiving it, instead trying to return the ball from a stationary position, and getting it smothered, making Barry track back and eventually the loose ball was recovered by the Hawks.

If the Casey player had been moving it makes it a shorter quicker handball, draws the defender, but also gives him space to threaten to wheel around himself so the defender has to commit, providing space for Barry to run the line along the wing, and then receive the ball back and move the ball into the F50.

Simple movement, but it didn't happen, and the play broke down.

Depends on your perspective.

I have never watched Casey because I want them to win.

I don't care about the result.

I only want to see how the MFC-listed players are developing and what they can maybe contribute to the AFL side.

There's still another half of opportunities to see them and what they can do.

That's all I'd ever be watching Casey for.

I am not worrying about the win either, but it is horrible football and I don't like watching horrible football.

I've spent what feels like the vast majority of my life doing it as a demons supporter.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
