Richmond VFL v Casey Demons - Round 3

Featured Replies

Miles took on a tackler...beautiful tackle.....drops ball. Play on.  Umpires refuse to pay against the Toiges more often than not!  Awful

 

Bugg grabbing at his hip. I think he copped a bad corky from the blonde Tigers scumbag.

 

Bugg injured in that mark.   Hobbling off.  Suspect a bad corkey with player laying knees in late


Cssey's on-ball brigade make a no name on-ball brigade sound like rockstars.

Which is why equating their performance with Melbourne's idiotic.  But I knew it wouldn't stop some.

A lot of AFL-listed players in there for Tigers, aren't there?

Was that you clapping on the half forward flank when Bugg hobbled off with a corkie? 

;)

Well the demons are getting a good workout.

Pedersen... excellent first quarter but not much so far in the second

To be fair it hasn't been down as often as the first and the delivery's been pretty ordinary under a lot more pressure....or just ordinary!

Not quite. 

Does anyone want to list Casey's midfield today ?

Our skills are deplorable. Looking over the whole list, we might only have a small handful of players that know how to dispose of the footy.

I might have misunderstood. I'm hearing some names of players that have played a lot of senior footy in the AFL, and that have good futures. Bolton, Markov... and some other like Miles who get no love. They're no names in the AFL... but in the VFL?

As for us, yeah, a lot of NQRs.

Did they play for Cssey ?

You may need to read my post again.

Yup. Misread. Never mind me.

Apart from Pedders working for it, our big men do not take enough marks around the ground to provide any relief against the tide and are too easily pushed off the ball.  No physical presence.  No big grabs.

Hannan good early but two turnovers looking to go inside this quarter.  Bugg a horrid one in the first.

Nice work from Munro, Spargo and JKH for the finish there for the goal against the run.

spot on RN.  this a is a demons issue, club wide.

We have to look to getting some centre-line players who are strong in the air,,, as well as with the legs, and feet.

If we are leaking a [censored] tonne of goals in both senior and reserve teams then something isn’t working in the game plan

I don't think Our game plan is solidified just yet.  WE seem to be searching and adjusting, nip here tuck there to see which balance suits us.

I expect more experimenting this season as we churn our list, introducing more into the senior team.

 

I think we will make the lower part of the top just.  we are still in a transition phase, Re list and maturity.

Ball seldom got to him DJ.

We at Melbourne do not value midfield marking anywhere near enough. we look for runners only.

Midfield marks are crucial to ease pressure, and to reset play, going into 50.

I'm hoping this will eventually be Weide's forte.

After 11 years of not making finals we are in transition phase and stil trying to work on our game plan? When is your plan for making finals, 2028?

And BTW it would be good to have players with legs and feet. Do you think before posting?

 

True...was not meaning it as a criticism.

Tigers look to be bigger bodied.

Since half way through the first quarter tigers have been by far the better side.

A quarter of two halves.

Now 7 goals to 6 in favor of the demons

eighths??

Maynard, Bugg, Hannan, JKH. Our senior players and they all butcher the footy. Our list severely lacks class.

Yep... I see a lot of sausages out there TK but not much sizzle.

Not enough run either.  Apart from Hannan and Gent the run seems to be lacking that would help stretch the opp and use their energy up chasing us instead of too much the other way

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
