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: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
