GAME DAY - Round 14



Recommended Posts

A quick review of the tape and move on, better off to forget today. A few tired looking boys and lessons learnt. The team of old would have been belted to the tune of 10-15 goals

Vince outstanding, Cross good, Jamar good in the ruck, Dunn, Jetta, Tyson & Pederson all providing good strong effort whilst not being great.

North: the team of stagers, divers and divas. Good to see Kent give that dumbass ump a serve for that idiotic ducking free kick paid against him.

Of course, umps are so blind they fall for their Oscar worthy performances week in, week out. Fortunately you can't act your way into a premiership, which they'll never get close to.

Oh how I'd love to win today just to get them out of the top 8, yet the result would be Essendon moving to 8th place. What a miserable conundrum.

Is that the same Kent that gave the Idiotic handball only seconds before?

So instead of going fast and hard into our 50 when we have possession, we chip it around the edge and hold possession until North have totally flooded our goal square with players, THEN kick it in with hope we'll mark it. Forced stoppage, then Roos clear it out and run away.

Seriously, WHAT IS THE POINT? We do this over and over.

Kent, like the whole team (apologies Bernie), have been awful today.

That missed goal a few moments ago was equally braindead. He had multiple clean options but he kicked for goal beyond 50 and went out of bounds.

Chill. It's a game and I've seen far worse than this.

I reckon give Sam Blease a couple of weeks off half back and hopefully he becomes what Shaun Atley is for the Roos

We need players to be able to take the game on and we need a forward structure that means they always have options (who aren't out-numbered) up ahead to kick to when said player takes the game on.

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w
