He was dumped as the unp refuses to blow the whistle against Coburg players caught with the pill

 

Piranha Park feeding frenzy. Casey bleeding 🩸 goals. 

Edited by Tarax Club

 

currently unwatchable. A big bodied ruck from a suburban team dominating and too strong for Verral or Fullerton. Methinks Fullerton spends too much time compiling and he doesn't appear to like body contact. The mid field is deplorable. Today we are way too slow. Laurie, Brown are too small and slow hence the opp speedy mid has umpteen clearance 21 kicks and has run them off their feet.

Coburg switch play at every opportunity  and continually run the ball down one side of the ground unopposed. they run hard, tackle harder and will have a big win.

the only positive is Jefferson marking and tackling the rest of the forwards are getting frost bite as the ball rarely enters the forward line. Casey look right off today

Smashed at clearance 

No chase or smart defensive  positioning to slow down their d50 exit 

Big focus on territory, forward half turn over and clearance from the coaches box 


I know it's difficult to retain players but a strong  Casey outfit has been the bedrock of our success in recent years. Young players greatly benefit from being in competitive and successful VFL teams. This apparently is no longer a priority . Regardless of any comeback to be touched up by a lowly Coburg with its own injury concerns is embarrassing and concerning.

 

Thoughts so far

Fullerton: really needs to be more physically, strange recruitment decision IMO as getting taught a lesson by a local ruckman

Tholstrup: love his physicality, but his positioning is really poor and quite underwhelming for a 1st round pick

Jefferson: love how he plays in front and applies pressure, just needs to convert

Brown: needs to find more of it and hit the gym

Laurie: needs to clean up his disposal as he has no trouble finding the pill

Adams: barely sighted 

Howes: needs to show more intensity. Loves jogging half paced

Moniz Wakefield: not a defender. Should be in the fwd line

Sestan: very disappointing for a guy almost in the 1s. His second efforts are poor

Also a bit confused why luker isn't playing ? Assume he's injured as it's not great for development just letting him sit out of games

May as well be watching Warner out there.

The club would rather take an 18 year old averaging 9 touches a game with potential, than a ready to go midfielder absolutely tearing it up


This has gone on long enough.

I would spend the first 10 minutes of half time getting the midfielders doing sprints across the centre square. Maybe some ground pick ups and handballs both sides just to see their hands are working.

The Experiment with Fullarton starting in ruck needs to stop and he should be HFF. Even if he hits it, he doesn’t know where it’s going.

literally got drafted three days ago, from wa - has he even moved across yet?

tholstrup loves a tackle; means he's second to the ball a lot

Most of the draftees I've seen get a flight the next day. So he should have been here Thursday

Just an average player made to look good by a total lack of defensive intent.

He could be at the game, or trying to sort out accommodation.

Already staying with tholstrup. They sort all this stuff out pre draft

Fullarton ginger, 'my shoulders sublexed'

Momentum has swung? AMZ 15 disposals.


Hallelujah holding the ball decision correctly paid.

Much better intensity from Casey. Jefferson and Kolstrup working hard and in everything up forward. Again, finishing and composure still a concern.

 

Jeffo,  just needed to finish his work, great run and fend off for the big man

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
