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.

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    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
