Casey Demons v Box Hill Hawks - VFL Grand Final


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

Worried about our depth now...not much from our listed players to be happy about in that match.  Garlett gone, Vince retiring, Bugg gone, White has no idea, Tim Smith not up to it, JKH showed a bit, but that's his level, pedo tries but he's not the future.  Hunt has regressed to the point that he isn't near AFL level.  We don't have much......

This weekend has turned to shizen. Again the old mental weaknesses that melbourne have are at Casey. We played some dumb footy in second half and showed no poise at all.  Bugg, Garlett and JKH can all go and eff off.

I thought Josh Wagner stunk up the joint in the 2nd half too. Looks like a lame duck final contract year for him.

Well the Coach played a bloke who didn’t get one possession in the Prelim and guess what, he only managed one today. Worst part is he is the Captain. 

We can say goodbye to Garlett, Bugg, Smith, McKenna, Pedo, Filipovic and King. Vince has retired and I hate to say it, as I thought he could be anything, but Hunt must be on really shaky ground. He was terrible. We need to bring quite a few new players to improve our list.

That was a pretty awful coaching performance by Rawlings' and co.

Pedersen had to ruck most of the last quarter. Without winning it at the source they would never get it to him forward. Using Smith in the ruck for so long was a disaster.

Fritsch was being dragged deep in the backline. Why not move him on to a wing? He'd help get the ball moving.

Lockhart wasn't very effective mid/forward, he would've given some drive at half back.

JKH didn't get thrown in to the midfield despite looking like the cleanest mid to get his hands on it. Munro, Bugg both can tackle and crack in but they could never get a clean possession.

Not surprisingly Jeff was hopeless but where was the use of him off the back of the square to get him in the game?

It was yet another victory for Clarko footy over the rubbish we like to play and can't seem to drag ourselves out of.

Yep you saw it the way I did too, we need to find some depth to progress with the gains of this year, quickly....

For those watching on TV how did Keilty look?

Dominant. He and Petty looked fantastic together and in the second half probably a little less so. I’d want him signed up by the end of the week. 

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. 

Also Box Hill tightened up on JKH after a rampant first quarter. Didn’t give him any space so not surprising he wasn’t as influential. 

Garlett was poor, Bugg tried but he’s not the same anymore. McKenna seems some.

Vince. Retired on time - harsh but probably fair 

Hunt.  At the crossroads - cannot be serious  

Keilty. Promote to AFL- agreed  

Tsmith. Vfl level only - good back up 

Wagner. Vfl level only - back up 

Bugg. Not good enough - yep

Fritsch. See huge potential - scary isn’t it 

Pedersen. Call it time - we cannot only have 18 year olds playing, Someone goes down we need him

Gartlett. Totally lost interest. - hoping he resets in the offseason 

Jkh. No more please - if we don’t keep him, he will play afl somewhere else 

Petty. Still just developing - lot to like 

mckenna. We will delist - that is true

You know things are going badly when your Captain plays a whole GF and has more boundary side interviews than possessions. Add to that Garletts CGAF performance and they played 2 short....at least...

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
