GAME DAY - Round 20

Recommended Posts

Was calling for the loose man after the first 4 goals to clog up their forward line and force them to change their plans. All their goals came from quick breaks to an open forward line.

It took us until 8 goals down to make the move! Absolutely pathetic - how many people in our box?

I'm not excusing the players who have been terrible but that is just a disgraceful lack of tactical nous

Hello. I’ve been saying this for yonks. Paul Roos is a terrible tactical coach. It’s not that his tactics suck; it’s that he’s not quick enough to change them when things go wrong.

We'll win from here.....

I don't even care today. Who gives a stuff really, we are just riding out the year now. Dogs are going for Top 4. Stop getting upset by it and understand the difference in what the two sides are playing for.

Hard to know what to say really. PJ must be on the edge of madness here.

Must say the doggied supporters are decent people. They seem to have a full complement of teeth, use nouns and verbs and don't abuse everyone in sight.

Nope. It's like playing geelong on their pomp. Manic running, risk taking. Brilliant to watch

And if they can keep this up, they'll start to get some Geelong-like silverware.

Impressive. Interesting also how a few "hot" players lift everyone else and set a kind of standard that everyone else just follows. We just don't have those players, at least not around the stoppages.

12 months ago, Footscray looked destined for years in the wilderness. Lost experience and gained little in return.

They play to win and don't look for excuses. Genuine flag threat the way they play.

Body language of Dunn, Jones, Howe, Jetta is defeatist and disgraceful.

Until they are all gone, we will be average.

We could have put 5 behind the ball, wouldn't of helped. Roos isn't responsible for the lack of effort from the first bounce.. Disgraceful effort by the players especially the midfield allow clearance after clearance

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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
