Box Hill Hawks v Casey Demons - VFL Round 1

Petty is playing like Oscar McDonald

 

What’s happened to Petty’s marking? Seems to be misjudging the flight of the ball.

His marking has been very strong the last few weeks, same as Keilty

Dunno what’s going on with both of them 

 

Yeah i dont think we'll see Keilty in the AFL anytime soon.


backline leaking like a sieve sound familiar?

Troy Chaplin is what’s going on with them.

Our defence is a shambles at VFL level to

 

Keilty was clunking everything that came his way the last 2 weeks

Dunno what’s happening today


Big difference in foot skills. Chandler the only one to maybe get excited about at this stage.

Gotta be the wind, all our players going up 2 secs too early 

This looks like a complete training drill for the Hawks

Our easy exits from defensive 50 are an embarrassment at both afl and vfl level - really sub-standard defensive efforts

2 goals 2 for the quarter with the breeze compared to 4 goals 2 into it...not good!

They look as bad as the seniors 

Bombing it forward, shambles in defence. Look like our 1sts. 


Chandler and Stretch the only 2 having a go the rest are pathetic. If Smith could kick he might be a good player.

have never really understood why we exclusively play the same gameplan at VFL as at AFL.

Sure play it for a half or every second game ...but experiment !!!

Frankly at VFL level the chaos theory is more of a scrum that does not encourage skills

So far In: Preuss, Stretch

Out: T.Mac (if injured) (if not) O.Mac and ANB.

I can't believe O.Mac gets another game due to this performance.

Is Chaplin the worst coach in history? Must be close.

Stretch has been killing it. Showing genuine speed. I'd bring him in for KK.


Hawks run & carry (able to link up more often with quick ball movement) and have more players capable of side stepping / baulking or turning their opponents to run into space or switch play.  They are more fleet of foot also.  We have mostly slow/pedestrian plodders in comparison.

They are also hitting so many more targets by foot and finishing in front of goal beautifully.

 

have to remember that the Casey team is almost unrecognizable from that which played last year. I'd love KC to give us the numbers but it's probably 50% turnover if not more.

 

What the hell was Hore doing? Left his man and allowed him to take an easy. Woeful recruit go back to Collingwood!

Baker not showing much, pity.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

  • PREVIEW: Fremantle

    The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

  • NON-MFC: Round 02

    The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

    As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

  • PREGAME: Fremantle

    After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
