We made and won finals without him. He isn’t the reason we can’t win a game. 

Agree, we would not suddenly kick it well into the f50 cos Hogan was there, we would butcher it to him instead of another player.

    Are Hibbard and Lewis both now out injured..? 

    Lets go draft some more hard no skill players.

    Lewis finished, enough of the one handed tackles and turnovers. 

    Garlett shat himself 3 times going for a mark. Magnificent.

    Petracca is the worst kick for goal in AFL history and is just a player who destroys the efforts of his team mates.

    Keilty, sorry Drunk’n, but he is having a shocker. Not sure why Preuss wasn’t played. Preuss had 49 hit outs and 2 goals for Casey today. 

    World record entries in F50 for least return. 

    They  are the most poorly skilled side in the AFL and plenty of us have said it for a few years now and to me nothing has been done about it.

    Even if we fluke a win today what I said stands. 

    It is actually embarrassing watching us play. How can you as an AFL player not be able to kick, mark and handball.  It defies logic.

    Jeff has run under the ball and squibbed 2 easy AFL marks already. Unforgivable to do it twice in a half. Bruise free stuff from Jeff. Won't play next week

    Put Keilty on the bench and leave him there, I don’t know how he was able to get a second game but he is honestly the single worst footballer to wear our jumper I have ever seen. 

    Lewis is pretty horrible defensively. 

    Our forwards keep running under the football 

    Grow up, decrepit old man

    I 'm in Edinburgh now. It's only 9.00 am but I'm going to have a 'wee Doc and Doris ' and a good lie down. Can't say I'm missing the footy. It sounds pretty bad by all accounts.

    Watching this rubbish is robbing me of the will to live. 

    McQueen out.

    Really, though? We are dominating everywhere but the score, and actually defending well. 

    Agree - I actually think we're playing much better, and starting to see the Melbourne of last year.

    Up until we go I50 that is.

    Tom Mac really down on form/confidence isn't helping - and it isn't helping the players up the field either, because they're not automatically looking for him, thus hesitation, thus the kind of all-over-the-place entries we're seeing.

    Yet another goalless quarter. 

    Are there stats re dominating inside 50 without scoring goals? We must surely be near some sort of record.

    Hibbo absolutely smashed his collar bone. He's def out.

    Lewis got stood on Ibelieve? Didint look too bad.

    Pathetic skill levels from the team tonight. An embarrassment.

    Are you sure you are not an alias for Titus?

    Forward entry dirtier than Ricky Nixon's black book.

    Just Filthy!!!

    No matter what, Goodwin refuses to play man on man. We must always leave a player loose in our back half, which makes our forwardline constantly outnumbered and playing 2 on 1.

    When will we learn that without proper numbers up forward we can’t influence the scoreboard, no matter how many times we bomb it in there? 

    We cannot hit a target sure, but TMac is always playing on two defenders. And Garlett gets the ball kicked over his head and there are two loose GC players. We have no chance because we are conceding a forward. 

    First point. That's why we aren't getting smashed at the moment. 

    Second Point. It's the bombing in that's the problem.

    Third Point. If we have a man back and TMac is has two players playing on him..... we have a one on one if we don't do dumb crap. Garlett can't have two players loose if TMac has two defenders playing on him.

    3 goals in a half of football against Gold Coast.

    3 [censored] goals

    Can't wait to count how many "connections" references our middle manager coach will make at his concession speech. The one thing we can count on is that it will outnumber the goals we kick.

    We are playing well all over the ground but as soon as we see that 50 meter line we become idiots.

    This season is over. Let’s finish low and draft skilled players. Yes I said skilled players. Salem would be so happy to have some friends.

    We are an absolute disgrace.


    The balance (inside and out) from last week has gone.  Viney, so far, has not added to the team and is flat footed around the contest.

    Again we are back to too many pure coal face players at the contest with no ability to break away and release to the likes of Stretch (is he there?),  Salem and Fritshkreig (out best ball users).

    Stewy Dew's worried about our "polish"?

    ?

     

    Poor decision making...eg Stretch defending kicks the ball back into the centre of our defensive 50 FFS.

    Yep and IDAK stood for

    Absolute last chance for Turbo Mc and Pedestrian Jordan Lewis today . Tide is turning!

    Also Jack Viney would not want to reinjure that shoulder if NQR!

    Big Day for quite a few today!

    • 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.
