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

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
