Missed tackles to lock it forward and simple defensive errors down back. 

Probably lost it in the first when they were outplayed with the wind

    Too many out. Brown. Hunter. McAdam.  Hunter definitely is an IN this week.  

    Did you watch the half he played? He was ordinary. Punched the ball straight out scared of contact. More chance he’s injured than in the side for any role but sub and even that would be a kick in the teeth for anyone omitted for him

    People seem very surprised that our kids struggle against seasoned VFL players. 
     

    Melksham, Spargo, Brown, Hore, Schache, McAdam (2nd quarter), Hunter (half time) and those missing from last year (JJ, Dunstan Harmes, Munro) not being there as senior players around the younger guys unfortunately is detrimental and it shows 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Pretty meek effort to finish the game sadly.

    Liked that Jefferson got on the end of a few marks as the game opened up and had 5 scoring shots for 3 goals 2. He's got a lot of development to do but the tools are there.

    Looking forward to seeing George in action again, looks very clean and dangerous inside 50.

    AMW can look amazing and a class above, then makes some horrid decisions and turns the ball over in dangerous spots. Needs to improve this part of his game before he can be considered for senior action.

    Suspect Hunter was preserved as a just-in-case emergency with Hore. Surprised if he comes in based off his first half.

    Casey looked bad, the young guys all had a good go in key roles.

    Wouldn’t want to be this light on every week especially in the middle but it’s better development than sticking the young guys on the flanks whilst the VFL All Stars dominate.

    I think what people want to see is a performance like this every now and then to know he has what it takes. As he matures you’d expect consistency to improve, but you need a taste.

    JVR was having a huge influence at VFL level in his 2nd year so thats what people try and compare against. The year is still young so if he can start stringing a few of these performances together his confidence will improve and he may just get a crack at the AFL.

    We’ve always been dumb and we will continue to be dumb is what that says to me.

    BBB hasn’t had a kick since, Billings and Petty lost all confidence, not to mention the Oliver fiasco and Salem tore a hammy 3 seconds in to the Brisbane game.

    There’s a good rest after Thursday and we’ve had plenty of rest the last few weeks, so it’s not exactly the same.  

    Is Fullarton at 100% worse than 80% JVR (he might be, but I’d consider the switch because I doubt it changes the outcome of the game and will protect JVR and possibly Max if Fullarton can hold up in the ruck as well as Petty with fresh legs at CHF).

    High performance background DS?

    Or, just the kid some praise for what was an impactful performance today. Well done Jeffo! 
     

    Jeffo is not comparable to JVR! Different type of players. JVR was playing AFL in his second yearand is now copping flack from some on here for being a poor mark of the ball. 
     

    Credit where it’s due.

    Agree

    It's a difficult balancing act not made easier by the competition make up. Have often wondered if you were a non AFL fringe player who would you prefer to play for. A stand alone club where your selection is on merit or an AFL aligned club where your selection is based mainly on how many injured or hold overs there are in the AFL team.

    Enjoyable match today which did many of the AFL youngsters no harm in the development stakes

    It is strange as I would have thought that clubs had a big say in the timing of matches. Saturday 11am would have been more logical.

    KC ...could you please throw some light on how the VFL listed players train. Do they all attend or only the ones likely to play that week...thanks

    KC or someone else should feel free to correct me, but if you mean the players that are not AFL listed, I believe they all turn up to training. Then selections are made based on how many and which listed players are playing for Casey that week, thus the spots that are available.

    Tough gig.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
