Geez, you guys have so many 'expectation'. I'm not trying to be an a/whole, and I ask respectfully, but have you played much footy? I emphasize, I'm just curious...

No, I havent which makes me an absolute expert 😁

I like JJ and I think he deserves more game time than he gets.  But i rate him as a good honest foot soldier.

    Thanks for your answer: I appreciate your honesty. 

    And, for the record, it doesn't mean I don't value your opinion, it just helps me understand your perspective. I've followed the D's since a958 when I was 8, I am very familiar with how easy it is to form opinions about the value of players and it's only since age had mellowed me that I understand there was a lot more in the world than I could imagine: same with footy.

    Was this meant for me? 

    I was also crediting his work rate when it was suggested he did very little. His 22 pressure acts helped to setup our intercept game in the front half. Not going to hear me say he did nothing!

    Sorrow recorded. Appreciate your insight and your reply. My mistake.

    Absolutely. But that's the point, playing for a team to these guys means in the team, not at Casey, with occasional sub games.

    Going through the motions?

    People keep calling for JJ to have a permanent spot, but the reality is he's just not quick or dynamic enough to be included over others.

    Most teams have a slowish workhorse style accumulator - and they're almost always fringe players.  They can't really play forward or back, and eventually get overlooked for someone with more pace when the whips are cracking.

    There's a limit to how many slower players we can carry at once.  With Tomlinson, Brayshaw, Gawn, Lever, May, Grundy we are capped out.  And JJ doesn't have height on his side.

    If I was him I'd get out asap and try his luck somewhere else at the end of the year.

    Far from his best game and I agree he can do more, he would know it too. His effort is there, just needs to get back to basics a bit. 

    Someone should tell him then, because it's there as common as his magic moments.

    This is coaching / guidance as much as anything imo.

    It also seems that Kossi, having signed on again ,is now getting " less" time in the midfield again rather than the  "more" he (supposedly ) requested

    Coaching

    Jordan - performed as expected

    What I really wish is that player's names could be spelled correctly. 🥲

    Also, I've never played AFL, but it doesn't mean I can't have a valid opinion.

    FWIW, one of the world's most respected and commercially-successful golf course architects, Tom Doak, is an 11 handicapper who has never played professional golf. By contrast, not too many people like the courses designed by Peter Thomson as being far too hard. Down at the National they ripped one of Thomson's courses up because no one wanted to play it. It goes to show that sometimes those outside the professional game can have just as good a perspective.

    So do I, but I think using Jordon instead of Jordan should be easy.

    It's not like it hasn't been raised before.

    Yep a good ordinary player.  Has no elite skill and is not very quick.  For one who sat on the bench for 3 quarters did not have much zip.

    Seriously??

    thought he had a real impact when he came on

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
