joeboy - hatchet out tonight

jack billings - added some class

Given the startled deer in the headlights first quarter and the persistence with dry weather tactics in the wet. The club will employ a Maasai dietitian, add blodplatter onto the luncheon menu and use hermatogen as a gameday snack. Tom McDonald can fire up the barbecue but the steaks will be strictly rare. Ben Brown will of course be excused.

The Waverley Park irrigation technician will bought out of retirement to manage Casey Fields during future training sessions.

I thought Howes had some good moments, despite being part of a backline that was well beaten in the first. He seems very calm under pressure

Interesting that a lot of the players who had big games last week were flat.

Kozzie, Langdon, Lever, Fritta, Petty and Oliver in particular.

We lose by a point and that ends our flag chances? You give in easily not like the team you support.

The number of times in the rounds so far that we have scored zero or one or two goals for the quarter   Tells you we have serious attack problems ( as if we did not know) that have not been addressed.

no finals team with a chance can afford this error we need a dedicated forward coach with ability and expertise in the forward line. This is not to denigrate existing coaches  but it is not good enough.

it is wasting the talents of Gawn Viney Petrarca and Oliver not to mention Salem

May and Lever   These players were too hard to get to waste.  One flag is not enough it’s a fail !

Stafford has had the forward line gig for a while now and has not delivered IMV

MFC: Too many passengers.

One more…

Petracca: Play angry more

It made me think a bit about the 2002 preseason when Daniher threw Neitz into the ruck and he played physical and angry. From that point onward he was a beast.

Stafford shouldv have bee delisted after last year even though injuries were a mitigating circumstance. 
Thought Mini might have turned it around although our entry and some aspects are a lot better than last season. Individual training on forward skills is necessary to get that aspect up to scratch. It’s also the consistency aspect of being ON and able to kick straight.

21 years old. FFS! Name another key forward his age we had access to averaging more than a goal game. Give the kid a break.

JVR is still learning the game but has the necessary agro and drive.

The early turnaround kills us

Night games sap real energy

I thought he was ok last night.  Would love for Fullarton to come in so JVR can actually play a whole game up forward.  From being at the game, seems to start either deep forward or on the bench, about 8 min mark goes into the ruck, does 8 odd minutes in the ruck heads off the ground then gets back on for the last 5 odd minutes each qtr as a forward.

Never plays our deepest forward, that seems to be Fritsch, which didn't work last night

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
