Lever gets "bone bruising" from a match almost two weeks ago.

No reports. No news. Nothing.

Then, two days before the next game. 

"Yeah nah he's injured."

I am absolutely done with this amateur club. I was already tossing up whether to waste my Saturday but I'm not going. 

What embarrassing player management. But that's not even the main issue for mine. The club is treating members with contempt, and like idiots. I'm sick of it.

    Totally irrelevant. This is a commentary blog for anyone to comment. It is also anonymous. Who has achieved and in what sport or other field is not revealed. By the way how many games did you play before you died of mesothelioma Steve?

     

    One day I hope the site admin makes the decision to ban posters for rubbishing our young players as spuds. 

    The kid has a couple of games under his belt and is developing pretty well in my eyes. 

    Btw, I love the ignore function on this site.

    So true, and for all those Pert defenders that sort attitude comes from the top. Honesty to supporters is a non negotiable in all aspects of communication bar recruiting. And when you think about it do you think the hiding of the injury until selection time has hindered Freo in any meaningful way.

    Salem Frost. jWagner 

    Brayshaw Viney Fritsch 

    Petracca Tmcd Baker

    Anb Weid TSmith

    Jones Hunt Petty Hannan 

    missing 6 from my best 22 ... Lever 1 Hibberd 1 jetta 5 Melksham 5 Jsmith indef Vandenburg indef

     

    We’ve had a change in the coaching department. That usually directly results in most underperforming teams winning.  

    Ergo, we will win regardless of Lever, Hibberd and Garlett not playing.  


    In Vegas and wondering if anyone knows if you can watch AFL live anywhere?

    Yep!!

    Lever brought back too early by the fitness gurus. What a surprise.

    And that is the least imposing looking MFC forward six on paper we’ve seen in some years. Preuss can’t get a run among that lot? Really?

    Can’t win games of footy if you’ve got no firepower. Freo by 7 goals.

    ANB ... ugh.

    Oscar McDonald not named at any level this week. Not an emergency, not in the Casey squad and not on the injury list.

    Seems strange. Hope he's traveling alright.

     


    These threads are getting more depressing as the year trickles on, much like our entire season.

    Injuries, poor form and just an all round bleakness to it all.

    I cant even bring myself to go to the game. ?

    I don't mind it if Fritsch actually lines up as selected in the forward line.  Great mark and very good kick for goal.   Will do a lot for his confidence as he looks a bit lost as a defender.

    He will be at least one player back in his natural position.  Now to put Gus back where he belongs in the middle. 

     

    With the change of coaches our line ups and positional changes during the game will be interesting to watch as will our ball movement.  Hopefully, more control than manic play on. 

    And hopefully if Oliver gets 25-35 possessions they have an impact and gain more than 55mts!  We need him to get much more value for his work.

    The fitter and more match ready you are the less likely you will a) be susceptible to these kind of knocks and b) able to rebound quickly when they do occur. 

    All pointers say he wasn’t ready to return.

    The pressure is on Hogan to kick a few this week.  No Lobb, McCarthy, Tabener

    If May with Hore intercepting, can keep Hogan quiet it would be significant.

    then it will come down to the midfield battle. if they break even and can spread and give their small fwds some time we will get beaten.  C'mon demons!

    and FFS play Fristch up fwd!! he kicking inside 50 is terrific and he has an eye for goal

    TMac and Weid have kicked a combined 18 goals in 20 games this season. That’s not one but your TWO key forwards combining for less than a goal per AFL game. This despite Melbourne having had the SECOND highest number of forward entries among all eighteen clubs in 2019 thus far. 

    Posters who keep defending these two really should read that paragraph again and just let those returns sink in for a minute or two.

    If that doesn’t make them quite possibly the two players with the most pressure on them in the league I don’t know what else they’d have to do (or in their case, not do).

    Hogan will be looking to impress though, no doubt.

    Why would you even post such a thing? Says more about you than it does about Steve.

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
