Casey Demons v Box Hill Hawks - VFL Grand Final

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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
