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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
