Jones - was well held

Viney - continued poor season

Salem - far from convincing

Watts - some isolated class

Petracca - just some cameos

Tyson - prolific but wasteful

Oliver - many irrelevant handballs

Stretch - quieter than usual

Kent - was hardly noticed

Frost - some good interceptions 

Melksham - nothing to impress

Hannan - not senior standard

Vince - game has passed

McDonald - was generally steady

Weideman - nothing to impress

Hunt - too predictable today

Neal-Bullen - improving each week

Bugg - had no impact

Spencer - almost broke even

Garlett - took his chances

Jetta - always slows momentum

Harmes - tried but rough

Fairly good assessment, but can't agree with Kent, McDonald or Spencer.

Kent played a hand in many of our scoring chains and put his body on the line time and time again. Thought he was very good.

I'm not normally a McDonald basher but today's game was horrendous. He made so many stupid errors that I walked out of the G wondering if he has two brain cells to rub together. Couldn't believe some of the stuff he did.

Spence got slaughtered in the hit outs but was good around the ground.

Jones :-  Lack of Leadership.      When the freo run was on I watched him closely.  No voice, no marshalling the troops, no sprays......  after each goal he just trudged back to the centre with his head down.

Bernie :-  Makes Stupid Decision.    Don't think the game has passed him, but he's made and attempted stupid plays all his career.

Overall I think the gameplay of manic play on and throw the ball around until hopefully someone is in space is to compensate for our lack of leg speed.  Unfortunately, not any options in the twos with real pace.

Didn't mind Frost's game when called upon. Can't blame him for the spoil not quite making it to the line. TMac also fought well but was on his own. Kent was good for a lead up forward lacking height. Though you did miss one.

Hogan: Minus 8 points

Careful about sledging Hunt and Kent in the same sentence. I thought both played well and Hunt was fantastic.

Bad loss, yes, but really cant believe some on here.  Yes, today's loss hurt no doubt, but look at Lewis and Hogan first.  If they were in we win.  Simple.  We lost by 2 points ffs.  We are still learning.  It will get better  

We have been learning since 1964! FFS! We are Recedivists!

It's not the 2 point loss 'Iva', it flattered us.

We were dreadful today and when they got a run on we had no structure at all. Just 18 headless chooks on the ground at a time.

Yep. 2 point loss and we were headless. Makes a lot of sense that.  We headed them by 21 at half time and if we had the class of Lewis and Hogan we win.

Didnt watch the second and last quarters? Pretty good efforts for headless chooks.

Hunt is probably our best player. Our real problem is Viney - he is looking like a one trick pony.

    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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    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
