Billings can play

 

Don’t write us off just yet.

Absolutely rapt for T Mac and Brown. 
Jibba very very good today.


Emphatic.

A win. Yippee.

Well great comeback from our captain.
Oliver well and truly back.
Chandler some much needed signs of old.
May absolutely rock solid down back. Nice game from Billings and Hore.
The biggest take away for me was Bbbs performance.
Didn't kill it but a very good serviceable game nonetheless. Our best tall fwd.
Tmac pretty good down back.
That's two key talls I had in all honesty pretty much written off. Im having some humble pie for dinner. Tx all.

A moment needs to be taken, to try and comprehend playing Laurie and Spargo ahead of Billings last week

 

OLIVER.  BOG.   By a mile

Especially when Spargo had such a poor end to the pre season 


So happy for Clarry, hopefully todays performance indicates his personal life is moving in the right direction as well :)

  • T Mac a disturbingly competent game, didn't see that coming..
  • Chandler best game for 6 months
  • Windsor & Howes both belong
  • Sparrow better hope Tholstrup is miles off...
  • Billings miles ahead of Laurie, Spargo......how didn't he start round 0!?

Edited by adonski

Much better and there’s still improvement - like fritta not missing what he’d usually kick. 

Billings and Chandler great (let’s hope it sparks momentum, like his work out back as well), Clarry awesome to see. Tmac handy and BBB looked good. Maxy immense. 

Generally kept them at bay and monstered them at the end.

103-44 after the 20-6 fast start to the dogs. 

Let’s consolidate against the hawks next week to give us confidence and momentum for a tough few weeks after that. 

Go Dees!


Very good win! We looked like a very different side to last week. We actually looked to use the corridor more and take the game on. Good signs.

Gawn was BOG for me. He absolutely monstered English. Oliver, May, Trac and Viney were also very good.

Also a special shout to Billings. He should never have been used as a sub against the Swans. His ball use was brilliant.

Great win, loved seeing our game style in action today. Comprehensive win, no passengers today. 

"we're going to get smashed"

"Billings is horrible"

"Worst changes ever"

0 football knowledge some people have.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After a disappointing loss in Alice Springs the Demons return to the MCG to take on the Magpies in the annual King's Birthday Big Freeze for MND game. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
