Good to see we have learned how to stem a team getting a run-on. FMD. Talk about resting on our laurels over the off-season.

 

Sack Troy Chaplin. Single handedly turned our backline into a shambles

    The depressing part is there very little at Casey. Seriously who can contemplate a year of watching O Mac and Frost.

     

    We're a fraudulent side. We gather inside 50s by putting more numbers at the source and forward of ball. Fraud. The numbers are irrelevant. We leave 4 oppo forwards goalside ALL GAME

     

     

    What is it with un-pressured errors?

    Simple, uncontested marks dropped.

    Un-pressured kicks going sort-of near a target but never hitting.

    And we are getting slaughtered at the ball drop, which was our strength.

    Melksham, Kolodjashnij, Omac, Hibberd having absolute howlers.

    No composure.
    No class.

     

    Whats happened to Hibb??? Seems to have lost half a yard?

    Two turnig points: ANB dropping an uncontested mark. And Captain Viney passing up having a shot on goal to stem momentum.

    Frost and O Mcdonald are not AFL footballers.

    And what about Petracca's missed marks and non contests... when he stands back waiting for the ball to come to him,  while his opponent is in getting it, and gone>>>


    Frost can’t even take a chest mark. Kinda garden stuff

    And gained half a tonne

    At least The Ashes is on this year


    Frost again so predictable

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
