Forgot about Bowey. 

Take a bow.

That's a lot of poor efforts noticed Joeboy but sadly true.

And we almost won.

Gawn - Huge Heart.  Herculean effort. Huge   

Viney - flew the flag then tried but overall not at his best at all

Petracca - nowhere in 1st half / lifted to almost bring us home in the second half, but learn to tackle , often easily pushed away or evaded 

Oliver - tried and tried and tried but many many irrelevant possessions , got better and nearly lifted us 

May - looked out of sorts early but lifted to one of the best Dees in the night - such passion and heart

Lever - big on spoils , had a few brain fades , why didn’t we keep Turner in so Lever could be intercept defender  

 Bowey - good and almost very good. Safe in disposal… an important game

Rivers - where was his energy. No go tonight … was surprisingly quiet

Salem - ummm he’s not the player of 2021 … looked slow and loose

McVee - good game … Hill got 2 early but Judd was break even tonight

Smith - had his chances - rather see him in defence  

McDonald - retire now … slow … cannot turn … 3 minutes - 2 goals 

vanRooyen - young colt - raw - overawed -  will be suspended 

Fritsch - brain fades … almost good … his defence is non existent  - players brush him off  learn to tackle !!! 

Pickett - an almost game as usual - brilliant and poor in so many passages - could have won it but it’s often a case now of almost !!! 

Neal-Bullen - good in patches - a defensive forward 

Sparrow - nowhere in 1st half then better second half

Chandler - did he play? Looked lost  

Hunter - gets the footy BUT slow to dispose of footy - must improve decision making

Hibberd - very good as stopped Elliott all night

Laurie - no no no  was lost  almost delist now 

Langdon - yes he was Sidebottom gimp but got much better in second half

I haven’t been his biggest fan this year, but Max was immense tonight. A pity that most didn’t follow the example that he led by.

The forward line was disappointing all night, as was the delivery into it.

As for TMAC - I’m sorry, but even a 1-legged Melky would’ve done better tonight. And I have no idea what we see in Smith, he is well entrenched in our bottom 6 and yet he manages to hang around on the list (I’m sure he’s a great guy and all, but he is not an AFL quality player).

Kozzie just needs to be told to go out and have fun playing footy, his heads all at sea.

I am so frustrated with this loss.  Seems yet another wasted opportunity.  No real connection in the forward line and looks like we lose Roo.  But, I cannot understand why we re-signed Schache.  A former number 2 in the national draft, us being his third club, he clearly is not up to standard and as a result, we don't select him to play, when we are in desperate need of forwards.

Yet we select a bloke that has only played 2 VFL games in 4 months.  I have the utmost respect for TMac, but sadly, I think the game has passed him by.  

We have seen the lack of separation in our forward line several times this year, yet we dominated inside 50's last night.  Surely our coaches can come up with a better plan that what we appear to have at the moment.  So bloody annoyed.

Re Tommy and Smith - best available and probably neither picked now as forwards were Petty Melksham BBB fit and available.   
But I believe they will both be needed next week especially as the impartial MRO and former Collingwood player feels the need to flex his muscles and JVR gets done (as he will).

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
