pedo does the instinctual things - marking, quick booming kicks into space, attacking the contest - so well

but every time he has a single moment to 'think' about it he generally mucks it up pretty badly

Not alone there DA

One ripping mark followed by a shank kick = zilch.

U at the game ? He has booted 4 and marked everything come his way. Had goal assists too. Stupid comment

You should change your name to Pollyanna or delusional.

why for saying our gameplan is not as it was 11 years ago junior...  you must start taking your angry pills jMc new playing list.

And new coach means new game-styles, which also will change as the new coach keeps up with trends.

Spargo getting involved this last quarter when we need it. His disposal has been iffy, but he doesn't have much to kick to with that clogged up forward line. He knows how to find the pill and has fire in him. Definitely something to work with there. 

On the other hand, Dion Johnstone struggles to get involved in any form. Doesn't find the ball, doesn't lay many tackles, just jogs around aimlessly. The nicest thing I can say about him as a footballer is he is present and playing. Seems a bust and clear delist material alongside the injured Vandenburg and McKenna.

Not good that it seems like there's not too much to work with. Particularly from the guys who've been in the system for a few years. Baker, Petty and Spargo at least a little cause for optimism. Guys around the JKH age range... really disappointing.

And that's that as they say.

Toiges too good today

This shows the underlying problem at Casey and Melbourne.  We clog up our forward line - but are hopeless at getting it to a free to a player for a shot.  We leave lots of space over the back - but dont run both ways or have the legspeed to manage.

There are some serious issues with the gameplan and the personnel asked to play it at both levels.  Manic pressure by hawks last week, Tigers 2nds this week brought it all undone.  Clog it up in our forward line and run the other way fast and you cut the demons open.  Seems like an easy game plan to beat.  Until we get personnel that can find the loose man outside, Have players that are fast enough the other way, and we can sustain intense pressure, we have (and will have) plenty of problems.

Well Rawlings is supposed to be channeling the same game plan

Hows that going for us I wonder.

At least the Magoos didn't chuck it in.

Spargo, Pedders, Munro, Gent, Hannan (in patches) have done ok.

Outside of Pedders there was no big man presence / marking around the ground today apart from a few tap outs to advantage.  Soldo dominated.

They seemed all at sea up the sharp end....and then it stopped going there.

Tigers got to rebound too easy as game wore on.

Hmmm

If today was a good example of the game plan we are trying to instill across the list then i hope he has a plan B.

And i'm not saying it was BZ....just saying

Other than Pedo and Spargo, none of the Melbourne listed players showed much. JKH and some of the others who have been around a few years are pure list cloggers who are being kept around for contractual and emergency injury situations. Further culling of the list is needed as we severely lack class. We have far too few good kicks still after all these years somehow!

Casey seemed to try hard, but with a crowded forward line struggled to make the most of opportunities when going forward. Exactly the same as the AFL team, and it shows our gameplan does not work and needs to change.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
