Keilty has had a shocker. I'd love to see him in for Drunkin's sake but he's way off the pace ATM.

To be fair this is probably the worse I’ve seen him play in 2 years

For whatever reason couldn’t hold anything today

    I have to admit Maynard hasn't been too bad. Smith won't make it as a footballer can't kick.

    Been hard to watch on TV. Not too many winners out there for Casey.

    Chandler is interesting, will see what the next few weeks look like. Maybe we have found a player in Chandler.

    Stretch plays against the Swans.

    I hate to say it but I don't think the club is going to find it too hard to open up list spots ahead of next season.

    Its a repeat of what we see at Senior level.

    - Too many players going for a contest, balls spills free, swept away by Hawks and delivered beautifully by foot

    - Hawks can take a mark, we are devoid of players that can mark

    - uncontested possessions we are being creamed

    - players doing basic things wrong, like being on the wrong side of a contest, covering space not a man, short handballs to a manunder pressure. 

    It's pretty demoralising watching this knowing that there is no-one other than maybe Stretch who will come into the senior side.

    Our coaching staff at Demon HQ and Casey seem to be on the same page, it's just the wrong page.

    Too short a break for Stretch ?? Just asking

  • Quote

    If stretch played 4 quarters he would be unlikely for Thursday. 

    1.10 in the second half

    This is not a pleasant thread to read.

    But it has to be remembered that we do have another 10 players who are injured and so didn't play at AFL or VFL level.

    I'd have each of May, Lewis, vandenBerg, Hannan and Lever in the side whilst Garlett, Spargo, J Smith and JKH would have to be thereabouts given the 22 we fielded on Friday night.

    So yes, we've obviously had a stinker of a day at Casey, but it's not like Casey is reflective of the entirety of our club's depth.

    As bad as Casey have been, I think people need to get a grip and look at our injury list. Of course we are weak atm. Half the list is injured. Pretty unfair to judge them on this effort.

    A nightmare

    BEDFORD - Unsighted

    STRETCH - Silky BOG for the dees but has he done enough to get ahead of love child ANB. He was better last week.

    MAYNARD - OK game but can do better.

    JORDON - Overrawed

    SPARROW - Little to be enthused about.

    BAKER - 1 tackle that was about it.

    HORE - Worst player in the league.

    PETTY - Woeful game then injured.

    GARLETT - Typical Garlett game nowhere to be seen for the majority of the game.

    CHANDLER - Done everything right looks a beauty hold your head high son.

    T.SMITH - Tried hard but can't kick.

    KEILTY - Unsighted woeful game.

    Fair enough...but how do you excuse plainly poor football skills ? 

    That's nothing imho ever to do with injury etc. You either can...or you can't. Seems plenty can't.

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

    All of this is a coaching issue rather than a player issue, surely?

    It appears that across the board, our coaching staff do not seem to self-reflect, self-evaluate, speak their minds and actions, nor bring out the individual and team understandings of role, functions and execution because surely, BH Hawks just cannot be that good? We know, already, that Port and Essendon were not that good, either! Geelong - always ready for anything at this time of the year. Seems as though the MFC 'steam engine for the rest of the season' theory has run out of water!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
