LOL this is just complete rubbish.

in the first qtr i saw Sparrow, Jordon, ANB, Jones, Chandler and Spargo lined up as a direct opponent on Daniel at various times. the players rotate through the forward half these days, hardly no one lines up on a direct opponent for a whole qtr anymore. and even though players start lined up on each other from a centre bounce situation that doesn't mean much anyway, from there its all about keeping the structures and how you want to play instead.

the biggest problem we had with Daniel was our mids just couldn't get their hands on the ball enough to move it forward, so Daniel just did as he pleased instead of defending. i only saw Spargo on Daniel twice that first qtr and one was from a kick out and Spargo burnt him for pace running back inside the F50 but didn't get used.

if you were 'watching closely' i suggest you need to go to spec savers. seems your hatred of Spargo is making you blind.

Ok

1  I do  not HATE Spargo , how can you hate anyone that represents the MFC.

He has played more games than I have at elite! Nuff said.

2 I do not think he is soft as some on this site have commented

3 I stand by my initial piont. Spargo WAS Daniels direct opponent for most of the first quarter

4 Sorry to say, I just do not rate him as a footballer. In my view thats the only thing I'm rating!

5 I am not Blind, but perhaps partially deaf

If you're mute it shouldn't stop you writing training reports.

I'm certainly not pointing the finger at Ben. I appreciate his work last year during the covid period and thinks we as a supporter base are lucky to have him. He won me right over with his interview with Josh Mahoneh when he went hard at him. I will also say that he needs to ditch the Gus and Gawny podcast. It's evident to the eye that he gets bullied from both boys with Gus being the most vocal around this. It's actually a disgrace to watch considering Gus has has already experienced mental health dating spud Frawleys daughter. Both Max and Gus need to pull their heads in big time.

I'm not in the camp that's it's all just up to Ben. In a big organization that requires a lot of media attention Ben cannot simply be the one that's been left in this department.  Wasn't there another young blond girl that was involved last year as well during covid?

give me a spell, they're having a laugh with a mate of theirs who obviously wouldn't be on the podcast if he didn't like it. the worlds getting far too pc if u can't make a joke at ur mates expense on a podcast u run. don't like it? don't listen to it, simple really but it would be half the listening experience it is without all 3 of them taking it in turns to make light of a situation whatever it may be

Playing AFL footy at his size would show that he's definitely not soft.

In his first few seasons he struggled to stick a tackle and opposition players took advantage.

To his credit he's improved this area of his game.

I think he's a good natural footballer but at his size you need to be exceptional and I don't see him being this.

That's why I see him as a depth player.

Dazzle, for most of the 1st Quarter and I was watching closely, Spargo was Daniel's direct opponent. The amount of times Daniel mopped up and set of across Half back and launched attacks was telling. Spargo just seemed to be in no mans land.

Spot on. Spargo was consistently slaughtered and caught out of reach to his opponent, slow to get back to ground zero against Daniel and subsequently moved somewhere else.

Funny, but I was listening to some clips of that Amazon Prime thing they've been plugging lately where they followed different people in football last season.

It's probably good viewing but one thing that really annoyed the hell out of me was the incessant need to swear by the coaches...it was pretty juvenile really. It was like I'm a real man, I'm grown up and I really mean what I say and you've really got to listen to me because I'm using the F... word. Leon Cameron and Adam Simpson were the ones I heard in the clips...

It's so embarrassing and more so because I used to do it when I was coaching...I cringed listening to this stuff. It's exactly the male agro rubbish you're talking about and I did it.

Surely a coach can express his message clearly without...listen here, you know what they f...ing think about you, they think you are f...ing weak, just look at the f...ing s... in the media...are we going to f...ing take this or are we going to f...ing do something about it.

It's really childish and pathetic...surely we they can do better.

I've watched the first four episodes. And it is non stop f bombs, from everyone, but particularly the coaches.

In one short speech/spray (not on game day mind you) he must have said it 10 times in 2 minutes.

Hardwick, who just seems angry all the time, uses it a lot too.

Maybe like the prison system, we should ban "Spud" but because of over crowding, allow Richard back in.

I would like to suggest to the moderators that the word “spud” is banned. For some reason it seems so disrespectful. 

I always think it says more about the user 'Bob'...I don't like it at all.

The Test was the same... maybe it’s a requirement as per the not so prim and proper Prime Primer.

Funny you should say that. I was just thinking that based on The Test Langer had the same angry, F bomb vibe as an AFL coach

That's a fair question.

I have previously (a few years back). Will consider doing so again. 

I wrote an email to the club this morning and will post their reply.

By the by, in my email i acknowledged that there is a review of the game on the Casey page on the MFC website, which is a real positive:

Bad news @Spud ,   you've been cancelled!

Wow, that's a bit rough, I understand the Iranians and Americans  tried to cancel Baghdad without much success in the past, but not sure what I have done to peeve the Iraqi people?  I and my potato dwelling kin folk survived the Irish potato famine and will continue to prosper....

? forever haha

Frankly after 35 years as a member, most of which has been premium family at a high cost, I could not be more disinterested in the MFC at the moment.  Fatigued by too many false starts for anyone as a football supporter.  
 

so far this year there has been sweet little to get enthused about and for the first time in 35 years I won’t  make a decision on membership until after the first 3 games.  I have had a gutful of the over promising and undelivering.

I doubt you are alone Soidee, if we lose the first three I will be close to the same.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    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

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
