We are dominanting the gsme but not the scoreboard.

Our f50 connextion is our biggest weakness.

I think our biggest weakness is not being able to defend the opposition's counter attacks. Take that out and you take out the greater % of goals scored against us this year.

Gus had a  ripping 1st qrt today and ripper game last week.

Dodgy decisions and poor kicking sees our  down 4  to 5 goals.

Tom McDonald has to play FF. Stop playing him up the ground. He is a gun tall forward!!!!!

Prob is playing out of the square, makes a lead and by the time they stop handballing it to each other he is on the back flank...

Only we could be dominating a team so much and only have 22 point lead. Inside 50s have been disgraceful, no one actually looking to see where the forwards are, Clarry’s centering up was actually the perfect example as he put it right where there was a cluster of suns players. 

Nibbler has been ok but that miss sums up why he’s becoming the new whipping boy. 

Salems goal at the end of the quarter will hopefully give the boys a boost.

He can't convert to save himself. Whereas Salem & Tom  McDonald.

16 effective disposals running @ 76% efficiency.  5 Clearances.  7 score involvements and 5 interceptions.  Arguably one of the best on field!

So many others missing easy stuff also and you pick Harmes out!??  Not renowned for goal kicking anyway.

Harmes with 20 touches.

Needs to do more damage with them DJ. Then he'd go to another level. Has transitioned nicely from a HFF to a mid supporting forward.

Could swap him with Trac when they switch positions.

We should be 10 goals up on this mob. Let us see if we can put em to the sword in the last half. Poor kicking is poor football.  ANB you should be embarrased.

If anyone is labeling him better than Petracca that might be by default - due to Brayshaw actually getting a kick the past fortnight. Petracca has dropped off of a cliff. I remember watching this guy as a junior and I'd of punted the house on Petracca making it. Just looks a burst player.

Yep, out of form is Trac. Not getting a lot of it and not doing much with it when he does.

Ain't over just yet DJ. Don't forget we've played a lot of footy in a short period of time the past 18 days.

Agree. He's going past Petracca IMO.  CP yet to get close to dominating a game. Set shots deplorable

    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

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    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
