Need more from Spargo and Pickett, much better quarter though.

Goody should be in their ears at HT, telling them to put the first half behind them and concentrate on manic pressure than posies this half.

VDB needs to start hitting bodies hard, give us some more presence around the ground

What a half of footy by Steven May...absolutely elite defender. He is giving Naughton a lesson

The first couple of wins from our run were against quite clearly the two worst teams in the AFL right now, and we comfortably beat a depleted Pies outfit who were also off a shorter break. I’m not say

Jeez strange times!!! Just reflecting. In a normal season, I'd be settling into a pot at The Duke about now. Thinking about maybe a quick snack and trying to coerce @Moonshadow into buying a roun

Clear improvement that quarter. The ball spent far more time in our forward half and we were developing more scoring chains.

But we're still not playing all that well. Missing kicks, tackles not sticking, and their best players are getting too much of the ball.

Beveridge in his HT interview was scathing of English. They've clearly put a lot of effort into the ruck and stoppages, whether it's the tactic of using Dunkley or how they shark Preuss.

Looked like it but started to shake it off in that last 10 min

I think after today’s game it’s time to rest Pickett and bring in Bennell to play small forward. Pickett doesn’t give us enough. 

He was very close to two crumbing goals in the first quarter.

I feel like so much of Pickett is "very close". Every game he looks like he might erupt but never seems to happen.

Not sure Bennell can play that role. Speed and defensive pressure regrettably not Bennell's strong suits so far this year.

I can't stress just how bad Tmac is 

We simply can't play him next week

I don't care who it is as long as it's not him

Tmac is done - the coaches have to see it surely 

He has trouble one-grab marking, field kicking (set shots are good), very slow, wide turning circle, not a natural tackler, his handpassing is far from elite and his ruck work is average.  I hope he is not soaking up too much of our salary cap.

I think Tmac is playing a really good team game. He is providing a contest all over the groun d as well as holding his own in the ruck. So be fair.

This goig to be a context between how effective Viney is cf Liberatore. Viney is at last breaking out of packs rather than running in circles. AN extremely tight contest.

Even young Bedford as well.

He's not far away. Will be back for the Freo game, potentially the Swans one.

He has to hit the scoreboard when the opportunities come up. He had two chances early and muffed them both

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
