CASEY: Rd 06 vs Box Hill Hawks

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

The score line is flattering Casey who are getting well and truly beaten in the middle and struggling to hold the ball forward.

Joel Smith has been the stand out with his ability to lead up and mark and his forward pressure.

Harmes is trying to get in to it but has been very fumbly. Laurie has had a number of excellent tap ons and baulks but hasn’t found the space or enough if the ball to really cause damage.

    Anyone wanting McDonald and Brown in next week, forget it. Both just struggling.

    No one really putting their hand up at all except Joel Smith.

    Looks like Petty the only in next week and I'm fine with that.

    for those watching does Ben Brown seem like his body is right? or just plain out of touch and form?

    Not sure I entirely agree. Casey 30 Inside 50s to 23 Box Hill. Looks like a difference in class to me. I agree they need more possession. Like last week Casey are missing Jimmy Munro!

    Not sure if he looks restricted.

    BBB has been getting some involvement, but not coping when an opponent is close to him.

    I’d hazard a guess that the wind would be making it hard for marking forwards. Was really impacting ball movement that quarter.

    I don’t mean to be unkind but is Jefferson’s kyphosis getting more pronounced? Hunchback of Notre-Demon

    BBB and Tmac need to do more at this level.

    hard to get a feel for them as the delivery like last week has been poor

    TMac is trying to bullock his way through and is failing

    Tommy does some good things but then refuses to use first options. He had his man turned around there. Had smith on his outside, not hard to tap it on or flick it up. Yet he tries to go down and fend around or whatever it is. And he does it consistently. If he took simple options every time he got it he’d start playing with more confidence.

    Has to be moved to the backline to get more easy ball IMO. A few weeks down back will help his form more than battling away at half forward

    Our forwards kept getting called for holding in one on one contests which is baffling and not something you see all that often

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
