We're one goal down. I just assumed we were 80 points down by some of the posts.

Notable inclusions: Jack Watts now we can all get back to our regular lives and worry about where in the 8 we're going to finish

I like Smith and think he should play this year. But if he isnt ready Garland seems the logical one to play, he is there to be a backup so if Hibbard is out why not use him? I dont like Harmes in the

One thing that stands out, and I think someone else mentioned it, is that we're a little too tall in the forward line.  It doesn't matter too much tonight, but we can't go in to Round 1 with Hogan, Watts, Weideman and Spencer there.  Saints will kill us on the rebound.

Neither team is playing with much rhythm and there isn't a lot of urgency from either side at this stage. Almost feels like going through the motions to build some match fitness.

ANB is staking his claim for perhaps a defensive half forward role, Oliver has been in everything and Weideman gets to the right spots... but that's about it for us.

 

FWIW- that Tyson kick was a howler, but no one was willing to run hard enough to create a free option for him- everyone was waiting for the siren.

It never is. 

Setting up well for the most part, a few mistakes have let them in.

You're right, just feel like it needs to be said for those who might be relying on supporters posting here tonight.  It's easy to get sucked into the group speak.

Garland barely VFL standard.

Done one bad thing in my book, better than others. 

Those last moments of the quarter still proves we have a lot to learn even when it comes to experienced senior players. 

I love Jonesy but he handballed to a still player facing the wrong way, and from there it all went wrong. Tyson then did what I can only describe as a brain fart, kicking it right across goal to no one in particular. Lucky not to concede a goal there. 

How we're playing isn't perhaps as bad as it sounds on paper, we need to get control over our skills and make the dominance in the ruck pay off.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
