Why dont we man up the spare in defence. We're smashing them around the ground and just hitting the spare every time we go forward.

    Hard to know if we are playing well as GC are putrid 

    I was disappointed in the last 5 minutes

    Disappointed.  Not that we didn't score more,  but we got lazy in our structure/ defensive transition,  and too cute with disposal.

    I don't care about the margin,  but expect us to execute in the areas that have let us down when under pressure.

    5 goal to 3 quarter in which we had 80% possession ...nothing fantastic

    They’ve definitely concentrated on shutting the game down and it’s worked. They’ve got 2 extras in our forwardline. 

    Please no injuries.

    That Sexton goal from the wing showed how strong the wind is. But who's playing on him, he has 3 to half time

    Not actually playing that well and deserve a bit of a hard chat at half time.

    Nice to be winning well but this GC seconds side would struggle against Casey.


    Lost a bit of momentum there when we came through the middle and kicked it straight to them about 5 times in a row.

    C'mon Demons, step it up again and hammer it home

    Based on today JKH, Vanders and Vince to hopefully be replaced by Viney, Melksham and Hibberd respectively

    Regardless of the scoreboard, if we turn the ball over like that against a real team we will get smashed.

    Live ladder is 131.1%.  Keep it going, and don't let up Demons!

    but that is the usual way we are shut down in that we pack our own forward line.

    Against a team like GCS we should be easily able to take that form of defence apart.

    Why are they not showing the live ladder on TV today?

    Because we would be 3rd - and firmly in the top 4 ahead of the pies!

    I know it's ridiculous to complain when you're up by 6 4 points at half time, but I only watched the last 3 minutes of that quarter and we looked sloppy AF! Why the hell our players keep handballing in circles when directly in front of goal and under pressure, I'll never understand. Petracca could've had a shot at goal but handballed to a Sun's player and the ball ended up right down the other end. 

    Then Vanders had that terrible miss under no pressure running into the 50. Once again, the Suns get an easy transition straight down the other end with an open player in their 50 and, naturally, they score a goal after the siren. 

    This is the lazy stuff we desperately need to clean up if we want to beat the quality teams in the next month and stand any chance of winning finals. 

    Anyway, Go Dee's!

    You may be right but let's give Vanders a bit more time.

    Smith needs to tidy up his kicking, as does Nifty. Very sloppy that quarter.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
