Loved Bernie's mongrel today and the fact that he just isn't an ex Crow looking to get out a few more years at another club while pining for his old one. As he said in the interview 'I'm a Melbourne player now and if they boo me here, who cares?'

Just watching North vs port and wow Goldstein is exactly what a ruckman should be. His follow up tackles and lots of possessions etc.. Unfortunantly jamar is the best tap ruckman we have and the others don't get enough of it around the ground to justify their inclusion :(.

We had one of those types of ruckman, but Neeld got rid of him...

hey i saw Vince punch someone in the face during the brawl. I hope he doesn't miss....

Open hand, was going to push him on the chest, or grab his jumper on the front. His hand appeared goalie up and clip his chin. Nothing in it.

Jackie boy unfortunately is not a footballer

he's got a brain, but unfortunately he seems satisfied with just having that one dimension, when in reality its a full contact 360 degree sport which requires vision, courage & passion to perform under physical pressure, and as '86' says, "Loving It".

better he goes, & tries again elsewhere.

Red if you think Hogan's set shot action is ok and can be addressed later you should be following Hawthorn. They can wait, we need goals, now.

I watched Hogan all through his year at Casey he rarely missed from set shots with that action. Just because he missed a goal and has a weird action the immediate response from people is to change his action.

Check out the Crows coach having a cry about Bernie Vince destroying Dangerflied

Have a sook you [censored

I listened to the interview. I heard little resemblance between Walsh's words and his intent and the text provided by the reporter regarding Vince and Dangerfield, there was no whinging, (or crying), about Vince's tactics.

Really poor article where the journalist has put his own spin on the comment.

Did anyone see Kent absolutely ragdoll Jake Kelly during the scuffle?

Loved Bernie's mongrel today and the fact that he just isn't an ex Crow looking to get out a few more years at another club while pining for his old one. As he said in the interview 'I'm a Melbourne player now and if they boo me here, who cares?'

This is what the club's been lacking since the Northey years.

Bring on more of the fight both for the ball and defending the club and fellow players in a mellee.

Anyone calling for Kent's head after today needs a brain transplant. Haven't seen a Demon player ragdoll anyone since Jakovich

Was just watching some highlights on fox Footy,I don't think Danger has an acting career after he retires.

I love Brayshaw. I love his genuine class and preparedness to put his head over the ball. And he makes good decisions under pressure.

To think that so-called knowledgeable supporters wanted him at Casey. I still shake my head in disbelief.

He makes us better.

You might be right red, if he turns out as good as Buddy, I don't care how oddly he kicks it. The speed and pace of Casey would make set shots considerably easier than at AFL level, I suspect. He would be blowing harder lining up for a goal now, which is where technique comes into play more. My point was not made because he missed one goal, more because his set shot technique is flawed. We shall see in time, of course.

He decides to drop Toumpas after one game for a fumble in the goal square

I dont necesaarily disagree with you though Dawes is not going anywhere now that Frost is injured. But Toumpas was not dropped just for a fumble in the goalsquare. I'm a Toumpas supporter but he made several mistakes and really looked out of his depth, that's why he was dropped.

Agreed,I don't really feel bad after today's loss.Seeing the Demons showing some balls and fighting it out to the end kind of felt like a victory.Kent should go into pro wrestling after he retires from footy.

If only he could consistently kick a bag like Jako used to...

Credit to the coaches: quite a turn-around in effort this week, and for (almost) 4 quarters as well.

The first 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter was going to the usual script but nice to see the players fight back.The last part of the first quarter after Watts dropped those marks was a bit of a worry too.Besides that and the missed opportunities it wasn't that bad today as compared to last week.

well I flicked it on the radio when I heard we were 3 goals to 0. Then all I heard was JKH get run down twice watts dropped his head in a contest and cost us a goal and Hogan kept missing. I eventually saw the 2nd half. Hogan I know its only his 3rd game but he should be kicking those goals. We need to sort out that kicking out. We dont want a levi casboult on our hands. Someone who is a beautiful mark but cannot kick straight.

anyway next week we are back on the G. If we kicked straighter today it may have been a different result.

Id start Brayshaw on the ground next week. The kid is a tackling machine. Just gets in there.

a lot of positives out of today, the first quarter other than the last minute was fantastic to watch, the second was also not too bad. This is the sort of football we all want to see. I think we are all being a bit hard on some of the players they all made mistakes throughout the game, but at least they all looked like the tried. Dawes is constantly double teamed, and delivery is often not the best, I thought from what I have seen so far his chasing and tackling were good. Watts dropped some but then so did the opposition, Sloane did a notice miss that resulted in one of our second quarter goals. I loved our attack on Dangerfield, it was a bit Ablettish and was great to see.

we are building a team for the future and I think things are looking a lot better, Adelaide is tough in Adelaide the umps are obviously swayed by the home crowd which meant they got a few extra frees and we missed on some. Our kicking let us down not only for goal but some of our kicking around the game where we kicked it directly to the opposition or out of bounds when not under a lot of pressure. At least this year we are seeing forward 50 entries and scores, even if they are not all goals its an improvement. The team still has a lot of new players getting used to our style and understanding their team mates. all in all not a bad performance.

I loved Bernie's game and have massive respect for him now.

What the stupid Crows supporters didnt understand is the booing was making him go in harder.

He's cocky, and I love it.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
