KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Can someone please explain why you play on from the centre at pace and then kick to 3 on one opposition and the other forwards no where near it?

    Casey a competitive quarter, inaccuracy for goal denies them the lead.

    Entertaining footy. 

    Laurie, AMW, Tholstrup all excellent. Billings using it well, K Brown had some impressive early touches. Jefferson showing that he's capable at ground level and not just reliant on his marking. Sestan got more involved as the quarter wore on and looks dangerous inside 50.

    Surely AMW gets a promotion soon. His tackling is good.  Won some good contested footy too.

    Inability to get clean possession inside 50 hasn't helped. Sandringham much better going inside 50

    Casey would positively lead the i50 count. Sandy cleaner more efficient.

    Yes they often miss lateral or 45 options but it's also a result of some forwards not working hard enough (repeat efforts) to hit up at the ball carrier.

    This same thing purveys alot when players are bursting out of stoppage through the middle or off a wing. 

    The leads from designated forwards often go missing.  They are somehow expecting fatigued player to kick it over the head of their defender as they run away from them towards goal.

    Alternatively a player at stoppage receiving or gathering under pressure then having to dump kick.  Often forwards sit back in this situation allowing their direct opponent or a spare to play in front for the easy intercept.

    See this quite often at senior level too.

    One of my bug bears.  Very frustrating to watch.

    Their transition has been quicker / slicker on occasions too giving them nice looks inside 50

    Edwards having a decent game so far.

    Hits up Benny who then decides not to shoot at goal from 50 and returns the favour to Edwards who misses from 35 on a 45

    Agree, but one can see you have no forwards present but they just kick without understanding they need to hold it up till the forwards get back it's just playing on for the sake of it, it's bad coaching full stop.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
