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!

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
