GAME DAY - Round 4, 2017

Recommended Posts

Gotta say, that was a really [censored] annoying game. The ball would spill out and go their way. They would pump it into their forward line and look dangerous and we would do the same and look terrible.

Weideman has gotta spend some time at Casey. He did well to fly at the ball at times but simply doesnt give enough. 

Hannan hasnt done enough since round 1.

Melkshem.... ffs. Just butchers it too often.10 kicks for the game. 4 Clangers. 

Fyfe, Mundy, Neale, Sandilands. All so good.

Great game to watch.

However, this is a reality check for us. We have work to do.

Spencer played fairly well. I liked Watts' game. Jeffy was great too.

However, Weid needs to go back to Casey to develop. Bring in Pedo to team up with Hoges next week.

Yea thats what people called for all week but the FD didnt listen

Jesse Hogan just smoked a whole pack whilst sipping Martinis on his boat off Rottnest Island.-That was stressful for him.

I know how he feels.

That was a game of two halves,and also four quarters.It had it all.

Ross Lyon is a wily old egomaniac.Different outwardly to Roos but ultimately they are both stats men.

I'm hoping to see a lift in game day player switches during momentum shifting quarters like the third.

Im not comfortable with those lapses and I want it eradicated from our system .

So mad with our selection decisions right now.  For the fourth week in a row Weideman was [censored] useless.

Smith, Pedesen, Bradshaw, anyone would have done better playing full forward today.  In a game that we lost by 3 points playing Weideman has cost us the 4 point.

I'm putting all the blame on one player here, but I don't think it is unwanted.  I can excuse him getting out muscled in the air, but what I absolutely despised about his game today, was that when he lost the arial contest he gave NOTHING at ground level - looked almost disinterested at times.  Complete passenger - back to Casey and show some intent.

Every week is a new game... we might not even be this close next week... but we have no doubt that we would have been a better team today with T Smith or Pederson instead of Weed. We will welcome Hibberd with open arms when he is ready. Tom McDonald had an ordinary game... compared to his best. All focus should be on the third Qtr because we played reasonably well in the other three.

If this result is what it takes, then that is disappointing.

The kid had a decent start to his career. He has had a taste. Don't bloody completely stuff his confidence now by playing him when he clearly isn't ready.

If the mantra is to give people games when they deserve it, sadly, Weid doesn't. It's not a whipping boy thing. It's just the facts. 

The club realized Oscar Mc needed some time at Casey as he wasn't ready. The same call has to be made with Weid.

Weideman has got to go, injured or not... he has barely contributed. It will take a very good year at Casey before I am convinced he is up to it. I would rather see Keilty, Pederson, T Smith and even Hulett before I have to watch Weed again

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
