Criticism of Harmes' game, after fronting for Casey in abysmal conditions, says a whole lot more about the critic than it does about Harmes!

Howes is clean with his pick ups and moves beautifully. He will be a ripper when he gets strong enough to play AFL. 

Ditto. I think Howes will be a very good addition with another pre season

Fair point re Weid.

I think you might find that modern methods of training and preparation of players has advanced in the past decade or so. He will be rested and ready for Friday night’s game if required.

Well if our AFL MC are looking to go with a second tall forward next week, Weid was the one to put his hand up in tough conditions today.

I didn't see today's game, but I don't think Goody will so quickly forgive Weid for his last AFL outing. If he is picked, he must be the forward leading up to the wing, and BBB must stay deeper.


Maybe just bring Weid in for Brown and keep the current set up. Brown isn’t offering much with his one arm in the air mark attempts and running under the ball all the time. At least Weid has more potential atm

His skills just don’t suit our game style. He isn’t a bad footy player, he just isn’t a pack busting, contested marking forward that we need/want him to be. 

He would be serviceable at a number of clubs that have faster ball movement.

What happened to Chandler? Was he late withdrawal? 

Chandler and Bedford missed due to Covid protocols.

Will Joel Smith be ready for AFL footy next week ? Any comments people ?

I thought he was pretty good, had some great pressure acts, 2nd and third efforts

Ah Now Billy let me tell you something, Dazzle Davey is one of the most Astute, if not the most astute poster on Demonland. He knows the game and is always on the money. Show some respect young man!

Won’t play no matter what the conditions were today Mr. Leg. His only chance of a game for the remainder of this year is if we lose both ruckman.

BBB, Joel Smith, Melksham and Kozzi - with a resting ruckman - time for some real synergy with Tracca at the ready shallow forward and midfield.

Gotta wonder how much his knees are affecting his game

Absolutely NO, NO, NO! Weid leaves us short a key player in every contest - and does not make the contest a mobile one. Prefers to be brushed aside for a free kick or peripheral spectator positionl

Dismayed that Casey have continued on with that error-riddled strategy of winning every game in the 2022 VFL season!

Oh, be fair. The poor things cannot help it.

Significantly, in my opinion. Goody has mentioned previously mentioned that he will be under continuous management for the rest of his career.

Did Woey play? If so how did he go?

He was ok. Difficult conditions.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
