First match back, not a bad effort. Sounds like VandenBerg has put himself in round 1 contention.

 

Vandenburg a lock IMO, he is a big unit.

Oh my God, how the eff does Matt Jones get a game. Every disposal a clanger & all his tackles were sloppy & poor. Turnover merchant to boot.

 

I expected a touch better at the line.. +18.5 at $1.90.

Nevertheless I've dropped a $150 on us for good measure.

I am reasonably confident we get within 3 goals with Fyfe, Sandilands out and a Roos vs Lyon game of defensive tactics.

These coaches won't let the shackles off just because it is NAB cup, they are both men of structures, discipline and defense.

That is what you call, running a very fine line.


Would have won if the usual suspects like Jamar, Bail and Grimes ever learned how to kick better than a 3 year old girl.

Or a 3 year old boy.

Good effort first up, imo we already look much better than last year, great to see the boys taking the game on and a couple of good targets up forward helps.

really impressed by Frost
 

Both Jamar and Garlett had kicks o put us in front and butchered them.

Frustrating.


Yep, Watts hasn't had a touch tonight...

Yeah... didn't even see him going in for the hard ball... frustrating ;)

522

Edited by ignition.

Vanders, Newton and Frost should play Round 1. Grimes, Bail and M Jones should not.

Salem is coming along nicely and Kent is poised for a big year.

Pederson will need to lift for round 1 with Dawes out.

Howe, Viney, Vince and Watts to be made way for (if fit).

VDB was good as the sub, really hunted the footy and used his height well.

Oh my God, how the eff does Matt Jones get a game. Every disposal a clanger & all his tackles were sloppy & poor. Turnover merchant to boot.

5 frees against for Jones tonight. Not even close to best 22 IMO.

I really don't know. His only attribute is that he has great speed, but he cannot kick, tackle or dispose without a turnover.

Grimes should be named captain again. Captain of the Casey Scorpions.

I like the looked of Frost running from the backline, great get there.

Hertiuis Lalalambamba looks better in our colours than the filth's.

JKH was he even there?

Matt Jones is a absolute machine! A turn Over Machine, and will assist Capt'n Grimes at the Scorps.

Dermie I can handle, but Shaw is a Shawker (see what i did then?)

I have not read any of this thread so this is my own thoughts immediately after game. No injuries is the best outcome. Good fightback and one bad 15 minute patch. Newton, Frost (when back) and Vanders showed enough to me that they are givens for round 1. Grimes, Garland and M Jones are very limited footballers and need to be pushed out of side by mid season if not earlier. Add some polish with Watts, Vince and Howe and teach Toumpas and Salem to find more ball and our movement will be alot better.

Good effort but we need to move on from M.Jones, Bail, McKenzie and should be able to do that now with Newton, Vandenberg and Viney and Vince. Still need to find a ruck that can take a mark and kick a goal - recruiting priority for next year methinks


Newton & Vandenburg look like a great pick ups. The Toump & Salem coming along nicely. A lot to look forward to this year.

Not a bad hit out.

Howe to replace Grimes, Viney & Vince to replace Bail and Matt Jones and we're a few percentage points better.

Garlett was pretty good, went into the middle at one stage and showed a bit.

 

5 frees against for Jones tonight. Not even close to best 22 IMO.

He struggled, didn't he....I'm prepared to give him one preseason game.

I think howe will add a lot when he comes back, alot of freo's long bombs in are exactly the reason Howe was put back, big intercept marks and big pack marks

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
