Our senior players and Leadership - Pathetic!

Featured Replies

Jones Vince Dawes Mcdonald Howe Garland hang your heads in absolute shame! When we needed you guys to stand up you were pathetic!

Kudos to the younger players in Michie Stretch Brayshaw ANB Salem Newton who showed desperation atleast wanted it.

 

Cross might be slowing but he is the only leader who puts in every week and doesn't drop his head.

Jones, if injured, is doing himself and the team a massive disservice.

Vince got ahead of himself and done nothing for a month.

Dunn in has always been damn ordinary and that he is our vice captain is laughable.

This club is going nowhere fast.

Tom McDonald looks a broken men. Another gun young player who will walk out on this club and who can blame him. Him and Hogan will leave and take Brayshaw and Salem with them.

I'm not against red legs suggestion of floating jones on trade table. Since signing his lucrative contract he has gone backwards.

 

Cross has leadership skills but game is past him. Too many fumbles slips ect


Starts at the top. I love Chunk to bits, but he is there cause there is no one else. Best of a bad situation.

Grimes is playing more at Casey and is toast.

Trengove hasnt touched a footy in years and should of never been captain anyway.

We have very little leadership and no one that will bleed for the jumper. Dawes, Lumumbu, Cross, Garland, etc - none of them step up when needed.

100% agree

I'd personally keep jones, Vince and Tmac but the sooner we rid the mentally weak players the better

Edit - just reread f$&@ Dawes if he doesn't mark he is useless and he doesn't mark a lot

We have no leadership on field, there is our problem and has been for a long long long long time.

You're not serious are you?

Absolutely pathetic.

that is right. And no coach or crack CEO can change that once the ball is bounced...

That leaves Brayshaw.

Actually thought McDonald wasn't too bad, also Watts was ok along with young blokes, let down by Jones, Grimes, Dunn, Garland, Howe, they should either leave or take pay cuts and give leadership to younger players

Watts was quite good. Mcdonald was pathetic. His kicking was terrible and ran into trouble so many times.

Cross has leadership skills but game is past him. Too many fumbles slips ect

Today yes, but his hands are usually very clean. His lack of pace is his main concern, especially now he plays less time in the middle.

That leaves Brayshaw.

So be it

Our young brigade aren't too bad it's the seniors ones I'm more worried about


I'm more worried about the younger blokes.
the senior ones are already stuffed and won't get any better.
We'll either lose these young blokes or wreck them.

Yep. That is exactly why the club must act now

Time to be ruthless for the sake of THE CLUB & not the player.

I disagree on McDonald. Makes errors but tried his guts out and tried to make things happen. Jones is clearly not right but that doesn't stop you talking on field, setting up positioning.

Leadership is the cause of our issues and will continue to be until the next wave can set the direcion. Combo of this and our kids tiring and only able to play in patches is the sum of it.

Jones has been heavily tagged the last 8 weeks. Needs help

Dunn gets swamped with opposition inside 50's. He is still a good player.

Grimes turns it over too much. he can go

Dawes can go, cannot take a mark in his hands, and undisciplined which turns the ball over.

Howe should be told to never kick it. looks disinterested, time to go.

Mcdonald is a gun, would be All Australian in a good team. He cant do it all.

Cross is slow and fumbles but never gives up.

Watts has been ok this year and will get better as we get better.

Garland has lost it he can go as well.

Jones has been heavily tagged the last 8 weeks. Needs help

Judd, Pendelbury, Ablett etc have been heavily tagged for the last eight years...

They copped, Jones doesn't very well. He then goes into his shell and his leadership falls very very badly.


I really dont think Jones is the problem.

The problem is our lack of depth. If you look at thew best for casey yest not one can cut it at AFL level.

 

Jones gets desperate for touches when he is tagged and forgets about the team as a whole.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
