That's an awful review. You may as well not do it at all. If you are attempting to foster an environment of honest feedback then I don't see how these reviews would cause any issue. I find the revi

Would be great to 'trial' a few up in Darwin and leave some key players on ice for Geelong the week after. We all know we don't back up well from the Darwin games and I think the Cats are more gettable. Maybe keep McDonald out, bring in Michie for Viney, georgiou in for Terlich, may as well rest Jamar and let Gawn and Pederson get smashed by Sandilands. Wouldn't hurt to put Tapscott in to 'take care' of Ballantyne.

Certainly not worth flying anyone who is "marginally fit" or carrying a significant soft tissue injury up to Darwin. That is NOT tanking by the way - player injury management.

Cats are gettable? Surely you jest?

I've watched a few Cats games this year and yes, I think they are more gettable than the Dockers.

Frawley making it tough for Hawkins, Jetta on Motlop, Vince on Selwood. If we can guide them to the flank and pocket and restrict their run through the middle it's game on.

Although it would require us playing a whole 4 quarters of football. Not the 2 or 3 we have seen lately.

Yeah, that last line.

We simply can not, in these next three weeks, allow 40 minutes where the other team are the only ones interested in attacking the game.

You go into your shells against the best teams and they will bury you.

I am not surprised the players have gone into their shells early against Essendon and the Bulldogs - they have spent 2 years in their shells against all teams.

I am pleasantly surprised that they have come out of their shells while the punishment is occurring.

It's progress.

White knuckled, frustrating progress...

although casey got pumped, it was good to see tapscott had some positive feedback and pushing for selection. I really want him to have a solid crack at getting himself back in to the seniors. if theres a suitable sub i wouldn't mind seeing him getting a run.

perhaps replacing terlich if he's out.

Bit disappointing.

30 touches and 8 tackles not enough to dislodge some of the riff-raff from Sunday's game.

Don't think possessions are the measure. Michie had similar numbers against Box Hill and got nowhere. JKH has had 2 ordinary games before Willy so probably looking for consistency.

Georgiou to back line Howe to forward pocket

I was a little worried about Howes form early in the year and last year he was providing cameos but not much more. He now seems to be finding the football and involved in the play much more and besides a few dodgy disposals and decisions he has been valuable down back. I would leave him there.

The only thing I would have tried is late last week - throw him for the last 10 minutes to the forward line to stand on someones head. (ie take a mark)

Some players never play well at VFL but do at AFL. I'd have him in for his X factor. We don't take the game on.

yeh, I guess he will need a run at some time before the years up… work out if we keep him or not

Most players who never play well at VFL, never do at AFL level either.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
