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

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
