Casey enter 50 and get repelled, enter again and get repelled, enter again and get repelled

Sandy enter once and goal from a nice pass to a player on a lead.

Sandy 9 scores from-14 entries

Casey 7 scores from-21 entries

What the [censored] has happened to our entire club?

I think it is us trying to create a makeshift forward line. Really we have 1 key forward at the club - the rest are defenders come forwards. Bedford played a lot of mid as a junior. Garlett who is a forward is injured. I’m starting to agree with all the posters who say we need o draft forwards.

It is sad. Like the bloke - just feels like he’s been told.

Never really looked comfortable at AFL or lighted up a game in the 2s

Keilty is a potato. Dunkley shows very little  at this level. Not sure what he did to warrant senior selection. Every game I’ve seen him play has been average. JKH comfortable at this level. Preuss is not accountable and way off AFL level. I like Jordon. We have nothing to be excited about coming through our list. We simply have no depth.

What an indictment of the coaching staff that they persist with the push up gameplan at VFL level.

At best it teaches the players how to wrestle.

How about a bit of skill development.

Game is worse to watch on TV than at the ground and boy they have been poor spectacles in the main this year.

Cannot be bothered with the second half. Out to catch some early afternoon sun

the Sandringham/mfc relationship was not a great one. Should we have stayed around and worked on it... who knows. IIRC we were one of the first shared teams and it was purely a cost saving exercise. Strangely enough the old MFC reserves team were reasonably successful but it never really seemed to flow through to the senior team

The VFL is struggling and becoming increasingly irrelevant. Enjoy it while you can is my thought.

Spargo and Hannan not playing is symptomatic in the sense that teams are looking at fitness regimes other than match practice to re-invigorate players.

If it meant having Sandy as a home base we likely should have made it work. Good ground for training and watching , great location for the players

Saints have never used Sandringham as a training ground.

Not sure why but I suspect the ground is too small and has cricket obligations during summer.

Sandringham were fiercely independent when we were aligned with them. It was a battle to develop our younger players.

WE MISS MARTY!  WE MISS MARTY!  WE MISS MARTY!   Must be picked to play next week against the Tiges.

Preuss would have been handy yesterday just needs game time in the AFL.. We had nothing to lose playing him.

There is no system play in the VFL sometimes it is like a free for all. Preuss has to chase his own ball.

Thx, I forgot about the cricket.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
