Casey Demons v Box Hill Hawks - VFL Grand Final

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Once Hawks played two key forwards we were bereft of intercept and completely went to pieces in terms of ball movement 

It was an ugly game to watch with an uglier result

That last quarter was awful

    I thought Box Hill had by far the  better run from the umpires, who exuded inconsistency and diffidence.

    Could someone please explain to me that last free they got dead in front after we marked it.Was it no 15, play on, then Petty was deemed to throw  it? ( I think he thought the ump was going to say no 15, but he didn’t, so he pulled his handball, expecting to be paid the mark)

    Some fairly irrational responses here. I get you’re hurting but seriously. Hunt was good early, tried to take the game on and was under pressure every time he went near it. A good preseason and regaining some confidence will do a lot for him. Keilty and Petty were solid, including a huge impact early. JKH was excellent early but faded. Garlett poor. McKenna unsighted. Bernie tried but has called it at the right time. Pedo was Pedo. JWagner quiet. Tim Smith contributed. Bugg fought all game but struggled to have a big impact. Fritsch showed his talent and one of the few to continue to take the game on (though can’t understand why they think he’s a defender).

    Dont know why the hatred for Hunt here. He broke lines, he put his head over the ball and created contests. He also hit tagets which has been one of his big problems. 

     

     

    No he didn’t. Which game were you watching? He was terrible.

    Sorry all 

    harsh on Hunt but I saw him as being a really good if not great player at end 2017. 

    Just disappointed 

    You're absolutely correct, he is nowhere near what he could be, and even worse, nowhere near what he was

    Bull Smith has had a disappointing year. 5 goals 17 and doesn’t get involved enough. A limited player, unlikely to be up to AFL standard

    I liked him Drunkn. Especially his first half.

    He paid over the shoulder for their 40 th free for the game. Disgusting umpiring just disgusting.

    Umpiring was bad. I hate criticising this aspect of the game but this was up there with the Fri night Port game this year.

    Sad thing is apart from Fritta, Pedders looked the best of the bunch out there.

    Garlett, Bugg, JKH and Hunt were all marginal.

    Thats a lot of dead weight we are carrying.

    Umpires took the momentum from us and handed it too them on a platter in that second quarter.

    We were killed by our lack of a recognised ruckman. Big need this off season. Fingers crossed for Preuss

    It’s time for Bugg to bugger off, no disrespect to the bloke of course.

    Disappointing for the boys who have been playing there all season that they couldn’t get across the line. 

    Can’t say I feel too much personal connection to Casey myself though. It surprises me that some are behaving as if this is some extension of yesterday.

    Because MFC listed players play there?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
