He has. He has dropped three marks. Only positive, a good handball to Jeffy for a goal. Appears very rusty. He will come good.

What, no summary executions for a guy who has made a couple of skill errors?

 

Jones quiet. Vince quiet. Hogan quiet. And we're in front. Good signs.

So many reactionary flogs live here.  They make concrete conclusions on the back of one moment of play.

Watts is becoming really important and I couldn't be happier.

And no, the bet isn't with Jumbo and I hope I lose.

Shouldn't have even gone to him, Salem was the closer and better option. 

I thought it was a squib too, but maybe the sun cuts him a break. 

Grimes doesn't squib. He just fumbled as he turned sideways, to get an ordinary pass that was high.

Salem and Tyson playing poorly, too.

I like that we're getting a lot of drive out of Bugg, Kennedy and Oliver - new players that are showing us they're going to add value to the side in 2016.

You may be right. His man has 3, but others stuffed up to make them pretty easy.

He looks more a winger to me.

Wagner gifted them at least two. He looks to have settled in the second half. But, backline is a little green with both he and Omac in there.  

Loving Watts and Gawn taking so many contested marks.  

Feel we are missing Vanders for the contested fear factor   

It's exciting watching the team build confidence and enjoy the flow of the more aggressive game plan.

Bar one kick, Tom has been very good so far. Watts again among our best.

Is anyone else concerned about Tyson? He gets caught all the time and when he gets one away, it is a poor disposal. 

Wagner has killed us with his only few kicks, all have gone to the Saints and cost a couple of goals. I know though he is only a rookie. Where are you Mitch White?

Rubbish, Tyson has been our best midfielder so far.

Hogan is having a bit of a mare. I remember last years NAB Challenge he played ok, but wasn't clunking any marks, so hopefully a similar story this year.

Gawn awesome again.

Watts is playing his third good game on the trot.

I like Kennedy, and I really like Harmes.

I still feel there is one spot on a back flank well and truly up for grabs. Wagner had a crack at it today but has been well short of the mark.

No. As I said he is rusty and will come good.

We all know he is a good footballer.

However, I think we are allowed to say he dropped 3 marks, if he actually dropped 3 marks, aren't we?

We can also say he kicked one off the side of his boot, if he did.

Just sat down at my local. Recently moved so had to cancel Foxtel.

Instead of $130+ (monthly) to watch beloved Demons only cost couple bucks for pot, the place is empty and 50inch tv to myself ☺☺☺

Back to the footy... strap urself in for 2016

I was paying $130 per month for the platinum package and rang them threatening to cancel. I ended up sticking with the platinum package and now pay $65 a month. They are struggling retaining customers with Netflix etc.

My bad.

To be fair you've always said you hope you're wrong on Watts. Still a long way to go before we find out.

Our recruiting haul from this offseason (Oliver, Bugg, Kennedy) looks bloody good so far. All three are super hard at the ball and just seem to always win 50/50's.

Oliver is just a natural footballer and I just love watching when he's near the ball.
Wagner is having an absolute mare which I'm sure that's largely due to nerves.
I've loved Gawn & Watts's games and N. Jones has started to get a fair bit of it in the middle. If our backline was a bit tighter we'd be up by 30-40pts.

Not having a go at you, Legs. Just at the preparedness of some here to condemn players to death on he back of not much evidence.

Do they still show Black Gold?I can't believe Brandon's behaviour at times. Amazed he is still on the Big Dawg rig.

Gawn has improved out of sight, but the next step is to do more damage with his ruck dominance, at times he can smash his opponent in the hit outs but we don't gain a huge advantage from it

    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.

    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
