    He certainly needs to keep out of the media and concentrate on his game.

    If I was paid $500k a year in a career that lasts maybe 10 years and could earn $1m a season because I potentially have the talent... “yes boss”.

    No-one at the club said he can't use social media, so who's the boss you are referring to? 

    I think having fun and likable personalities out there off the field is good for membership. It's one of many factors that will help make this club a powerhouse again I reckon. Trying to turn the players into robots that can't have a bit of fun off the field will have a negative impact on the way they go about their footy. I'd rather they have a bit of fun and enjoy what they're doing.

    Will happily take a Modogon-esque team of epicly performing robots over Blankety Blanks-like funny b$ggers.

    I'd say the two are mutually exclusive. 

    Who out there performs really well in a job they hate? Happy workers = productive workers.

    I’m more torn than Natalie umbruglia right now.

    I’m all out of hope.

    This is how I feel.

    Trac does not deserve a seniors game right now.

    i have no issues with petracca - it was bloody tough for forwards out there tonight, and everyone who thinks he's going to have a 'break out' game needs to understand he's probably always going to be a 15-25 possession, 4-7 marks, 1-3 goal a game player...tonight he had 17, 6 and 1 straight - more possessions than any other nominal forward

    Cannot continue to ignore players in good form at Casey, because ‘big name’ blokes can’t get dropped. 

    Trac is only still in this side because of reputation. Had Harmes or Neal Bullen been stinking it up this bad, everyone would be out for blood. And they’d be on their arse in the VFL. 

    It is time to go to Casey for a nice little period and stop thinking you’re undropabble. Also please learn to kick goals good.

    Doesn’t deserve to be in the team on form, but he’ll keep his place purely for what he could potentially produce. Very frustrating player and it doesn’t look like he’ll become the player we thought he could be. He’s definitely not capable of becoming a full time midfielder, and now he’s not scoring or getting involved as a forward either. He just lacks clean hands collecting ball quickly and has lost his vision to hit up short kicks for goal assist that he was so good with up forward last year. 

    Maybe try him off half back to spark him?

    Yet clean hands was the thing that stood out when I first saw him at training and later in his first games. Clean in the air and clean with ground balls, what has happened? Confidence issue?

    Spot on Jaded. Tyson was probably undroppable a year or two ago and like it or not he was recalled after shredding it to bits back at Casey. Now let's not get bogged down in the whole Tyson thing, but the narrative from Goodwin around selfless, respectful, team oriented etc. etc. seems to contradict the Match Committee's unwillingness or inability to send these selection messages to big names

    I think he needs to shed a couple of kegs and get fitter, and run for longer at speed..  We need him to get to more contests, one after the other.

     

    It's time to lose that puppy fat christian.

    I think Bartel hit the nail on the head. Just does the small things really poorly. Refuses to run back when he takes a mark and then does nothing kicks time and time again of one step.

    I've been backing him up most of the season but I am fed up now. Has been quite soft with his attack on the ball for a while now.

    Started the season nicely but is just content doing OK by the looks of things.

    might be time to poke him and rattle his cage.

    Changed my username after last weeks game as I was sick of Petracca and his lack of effort combined with his general softness.    Unfortunately the mods changed it back.

      The laziest player in the comp who fumbles every ball, drops easy marks and generally looks disinterested.  No sense of urgency. Thinks hes a superstar when in reality he should be at Casey.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
