GAME DAY - Round 22


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

Second Quarter:

The umps actually paid some our way. They seem to have realised how one-sided they were being.

Fitz improved and scored a couple. His teammates also improved and passed it to him a bit.

Watts outmarked Bennell. Once.

I still think Michie and Viney have a bit of game sense. Vince also showed some pretty good judgement.

We are still fumbling and making poor decisions.

Still kicking over the head of the leading forward. Even when that forward is 200+cm tall.

All in all a better effort, but they certainly don't look like making a dent in the deficit. Stayed in it through tenacity rather than skill.

No idea why an athletic 200cm ruck/forward with lightning speed has been rotting away at Casey all season, but whatever i guess

Will be traded for pick 73 and go on to be a good contributor elsewhere.

i know ill be laughed at for this, but we are only down by 38 so we can still make a game of it

If we actually play with intent and not waste possession, we might make this a contest and lose by 5-6 goals, which is about right for our talent level playing away in Perth.

If we continue to not spread and run and turn over the ball, they'll win by 100 points.

I don't think it's laughable - there is no reason we can't do it. We just need to show the pressure we had in the middle of the season.

Ahh, Fitz. Look, I don't reckon the guy is good enough in the big picture, but tonight he's giving me some entertainment through some competitiveness and actually threatening to score. Great work Fitzy, keep it up.

as i dont have foxtel im watching the hawks geelong game and glance at the scores on the net occasionally. On a positive note it was nice to see Neale Daniher there. CH7 showed him running up tot eh box. Nice to see.

But Cross on Priddis who only has 7 possessions and who im pretty sure is the leading person in disposals thats a great effort from daniel.

Hope your Fitz is better looking than our Fitz!!!

45 years ago no doubt but now? She does not read this so am pretty safe.

fitzys doing well given the limited number of opportunities, sadly the same cannot be said for the smaller crumbers like Kent and bail. Too many demon players are too busy chasing their own men to go at the man with the damn ball. last goal to fitzy kent offered no protection by trying to shepherd, there is just no team work, these guys stand around expecting to do circle work with handball, instead of kicking. Bail took a mark on the transition and waved everyone to slow down what is with this side, we are already as slow as it gets... Michie makes some terrible decisions and even worse disposal. all in all its going the way I unfortunately expected.

We have too many players who have elite traits that seduce us into thinking they are up to it, but at the same time we overlook other traits that mean they will never make it. Fitzy is so quick and agile for his size, Tom McDonald can run all day, Jack Watts is a nice user of the ball, and the list goes on.

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
