Wow, that so sums up our year.  We had moments.  What I found interesting (read frustrating), was that most players had good moments, and then had absolute crap ones.  Lever - marks it and pumps it out on the full, twice.  Jones - delivers into 50 beautifully, and then does that rancid kick out that costs us the goal.  Angus - does some great things, then some [censored].  Only Maxy and Fritsch can hold their heads high, for a full game effort.

ANB hitting the post was so us 2019.

Time to hang up the Boots Jones..

He can't b captain next yr in fact he will need 2 spend time @ Casey or better still retire. Would rather Bernie Vince back than him.

Is there any chance ANB can ever kick straight from 30 metres out??

I am one of ANB harshest critics but the kick was from 50 and was a reasonable effort which just missed.    Melksham puts his hands up saying he should have passed to him but he wasn't free enough for that option.

 

Jones Very poor .. you think an experienced player captain/leader would say get to the boundary! What's that say about our leadership/ culture ???


If there was any doubt about two rucks making the AA team again this year that was completely put to rest by Gawn's performance against the third best ruck in the comp.  The guy is amazing.

 

This list is not going to be able to execute any game plan until there is a significant improvement in the basic skills. Pre season to be spent with a football in hand100% of the time, even during the time trials.

Fritta and Gawn were amazing today, but too many B graders.

Seen enough of Stretch Wagner Spargo ANB and JKH 

Jones one more year ands that’s about it.

The players you mention here just seem to come in and out, in and out of the side and never seem to have an impact. Surely its time to clear out the dead wood.

Jones has experience in losing teams

it is not all his fault, but he is a contributor. 

It is time he moved on...

Edited by Sir Why You Little

Barring disastrous injuries next year, Jones should end his career at Casey.

Thanks for your service. Here's your life membership. 

half way through the last we were kicking at 36%. 36%!!!!!!  Lever had about 3 in a row. You Cant win if you cant frikn kick. Preuss missing from 10 and ANB missing from 30 in the last and 1.7 in the last also.... just about sums the whole thing up. 

That being said....fritsch is beginning to really look the goods. Something to be hopeful for.

Our season is over, sweet relief! Now we can look to 2020 knowing it should/has to get better (it has to, right?!), and at the very least can't get worse!

Commentators were drooling over Grundy’s game last night all telecast (it was a great game btw), but Max showed today why he is the greatest in my view. What a professional with a never die attitude! Just remember his game today and we might get through the pain a little bit easier.

As far as the Coleman goes, I hope Cameron kicks 12 against the Suns tonight, got sick of the constant cheering for Ben10.


Hope Goodwin does not say   we can learn from this or there is always next week.  Get PIZZED on monday have a week off. very few deserve any more time off than that.   Start  getting Match fit now !

Last couple of minutes proved where our failings are. North had Polec and Higgins we have ANB and Hunt!

hey DZ . . . your avatar looks like he's pushing out a big . . . . . . . . . . 


ANB cannot possibly play again, to think we got rid of Watts and kept this bloke, plus Goodwin keeps bloody playing him FFS

Postive from today.... almost 3 quarters of better ball movement/accuracy from more players....in the game.

Until the last where our energy /tank ran out? Skills dropped off a cliff and we reverted back to chaos crash bash style ...and lost.

Commentators are [censored] idiots, Hudson was going on and on about [censored] Brown all day, I mean FFS, the bloke is an actor not a footballer

Dead set Jones anyone would know that kick needed to go down the line and we expect our boys to follow this bloke? 

They said on the radio there was no one down the line to kick to and gawn was trying to get across.  

Also do we blame Oliver  for giving away that undisciplined 50?

And what the [censored] has happened to Salem, Goodwin is the worst coach ever, he has ground these blokes to the point they have forgotten how to bloody handball and kick

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
