Cannot see enough of Zorko, Berry and McCarthy right now.

Berry just like Ugle-Hagen played out of there skin against us & will probably never replicate there performances

We would have given the Cats a much better match.
 

Simply … We threw it away this year. 

Poorly managed back half

 

So Cats now only negative 12 cumulative points for consecutive PFs.

Yep, I blame our dismal second half of the year squarely on the coaches.

Sadly yes.  Hope we learn from it - and replenish our list, and even our senior team from who we have already at Casey.  And learn to manage a whole season. 

 

Well Geelong in a Grand Final is bad enough so lets hope the swans do the job on the filth tmmrw. A Geelong and filth granny would be too much to bear.


Geelong are this year’s Melbourne - they were so p!ssed off at being humiliated twice by us last year, that they resolved to do better.

A year ago we were celebrating, what a difference a year makes. 

I stopped watching during the final quarter. I went back to watching coverage of the Queen & seeing David Beckham stand in that queue.

Dislike both teams, but the qualifying final was an awesome game, wouldn't mind watching them go head to head again. 

 

Tonight just shows how bad we were last week. 

Brisbane were out of place tonight. Should not have been playing a prelim, and would not have had we done our job last week. 


I reckon Collingwood can get it done this year. 
There’s just something about them…

Beat Sydney and I’m all in.

Hopefully Goody at least watches that SF debacle, unlike refusing to in 2018. Plenty of learnings to be had.

 Abit of magic about their season.

A little yes but i reckon they prepped for this after the 2020 loss to the Tiges.

Injected some run into the team.  And also got Cameron courtesy of the AFL.

Mind you the same thing helped the Tigers get their back to back with Lynch coming across to a premiership team lol.

The AFL are lead by a shameless bunch of incestuous boys' club tossers.

The AFL should paint a line on the ground.  Then umps wouldn’t have to shout back to the nine which is messy especially if the player plays on. No shouting. Penalise a player who doesn’t immediately head back to the line. 

Yes makes sense Sue.  Good idea

An embarrassing night tonight for the Melbourne Football Club - this contest will be akin to the 2019 GF or maybe even... the 2020 prelim💡 A ridiculous one sided spectacle that will only do nothing more than highlight our poor 2nd half of the season and the 'what could have beens' of an epic prelim clash between a defending premier with the highest ceiling, and the best team of the current season.

Of course I'll watch, and I'll hope the Lions win - but it will be with very little fanfare and it will be akin to watching NM try and beat WCE in an away prelim in 2015 - ie a lost cause that will barely last a quarter or two - a story that we all know the ending to, even if it is close for 3 or 4 quarters - one team will always have the other at arms length, ready to flick that switch and win easily by a few goals.

And even if the Lions were to get up in a Hail-Mary-Cats-Choke of epic proportions, it will do nothing but fuel even more Coodabeen Champion fantasies on DL

Absolute Lose/lose situation. 

I hope this prelim stings the players.

... And even Richmond would've put up a better performance than that. Embarrassing end to our season to let this mob into a prelim.

You're in fine form tonight, IRW

Entertaining commentary!

Dangerfield is such a [censored]

I wish he had been a Demon  [censored]

He could have taught Trac how hit a leading forward on the chest or kick a goal from straight in front

 

As much as I dislike Scott and his smugness his tactical brilliance is to be admired.

Like Longmire he has a clear plan for the opps playmakers while backing in his system.  For them it isn't either/or.  They do both.  Successfully.

Geelong didn't tag Neale.  Scott said before the game they knew he would get the ball but try to control where he got the ball and they would have several players for him.  At half time Jimmy Bartel said Geelong let Neale get the ball when he was facing the wrong way.

They shut Neale out by having Atkins on him at stoppages, someone to close his space and stay goal side of him.  He was picked up by whoever was closest to him.  The latter is how they played Oliver.

If Sydney win today, Longmire vs Scott will be a fascinating GF to watch.

Every Cats fan I know was happy we lost last week as they were [censored] themselves at the prospect of losing to us in a prelim again. Funny how that was how it turned out. Almost sounds planned. #dangerflag

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
