GAME DAY - Round 19

Bail can do 10 good things but undo all his good work with one big clanger.

He'd probably make a great 5k runner, except for the fact that every now and then he'd turn around and run the wrong direction or something.

Double the contested possession that quarter, plus 20-8 in hard ball gets.

The story of 2014 - not direct enough, not enough inside 50s and not enough scoring shots. Then when you only generate 12 scoring shots in a half, you need to convert. We haven't won a game this year when we've kicked more behinds than goals.

We've got to be bolder and go more direct. We seem to mark and stop, go back and all any loose player to be picked up before kicking the ball... Frustrates the bejesus out of me!

Spot in titan, and going by what Roos is saying this pre-season will be about developing that offensive game now that we understand how to run both ways and shut a team down. He can push them harder and, hopefully, get more out of them again over the summer.

Seems to me that Tappy is growing in confidence with more games under his belt.

But Blease remains too overconfident for mine. I like his dash but wish he would be more of a team player sometimes.

At some point we're going to concede a goal and lose all our confidence.

80% of our players are guilty of it. No idea why you single him out.

100% of our players are guilty of the odd mistake.

Bail unfortunately makes more than probably 80%.

The positive, though, is that if he can work the mistakes out he has the rest of his game set up.

Fair point, although it annoys me that he is the one singled out to be dropped for a bloke who doesn't even play the same role.

Yes there are other serial offenders. He's one of the worst.

Michie deserves to come in and someone needs to make way. He's my candidate. Back to the game eh?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
