Still, it presents an opportunity for those at Casey who are pressing for senior selection.

Oh, wait …

    I think some peeps have been a bit spoiled.. I wish I could make it so that when you jump-off this quickly you can’t enjoy the high-rides but I know where you’re coming from and would’ve once felt similar but this is a perfect day for a team that’s choc-full of confidence and we’re barely there! Maybe this is a butt-smashing we need?
     

     No reason it can’t be.. I choose to keep faith, everything’s going right for them and it’s evident they’re chasing in. I can’t smash a team that’s given me so much resounding reasons to trust them.. I mean look at that Serong Goal for goodness sake off back if DARCY lucky goal and Frederick boundary goal, that’s just bananas & good on em!

    We’ll bounce back next week.. you don’t lose ability overnight for goodness sake! 
     

    Harden up ppl, it’s a crappy day — move fwd.  

     

    We will make the eight.

    We will be seventh.

    This is a club very much in decline as evidenced by the players we have recruited and kept in Schache, Hunter, McAdam, Fullerton, Bbb....to name a few.

    Where players like Petty gets gifted game after game because there is simply no replacement.

    We need to rebuild our list and that takes time.

    Today is not an aberration. It happened two weeks ago against the eagles. And before that to Carlton and the lions.

    We can be competitive but the difference between our best and worst is vast.

    Our once touted midfield is alas no longer functioning like it used to and we have one good fwd in Fritta.

    Today is ample proof of our deterioration.

    Petty has one disposal in three quarters of football. Needs to be dropped ASAP.

    Have you ever played footy at an elite lvl and had an opponent steamroll you? It’s no fun & putting pressure on isn’t the issue that got us to this point, least of our worries in this game!

    Absolutely wrong.

    They are doing as they please under no pressure at all.

    The year we won the flag our pressure was manic.

    That was my point.

    whether I personally have played footy at an elite level or not is completely irrelevant

    first possession is a handball to no one or under pressure 

    zone doesn’t work if they hit skills they run they mark.  
     

    clearances !! Smashed.  Seriously smashed.  
     

    Bowey !!! LAZY. LAZY. LAZY. MISSED TARGET FROM 10 metres. Turnover. Goal Freo.  
     

    missed tackles.  Can’t hold them !!! 
     

    Dees look hopeless with the footy. Indecisive!!! Lack skill.

    So you are OK with a premiership type list being smashed week in and week out by mediocre opposition?

    It's clear this team is not good enough this year, let's stop pretending otherwise.

     

    How is this team losing a game of footy by 82 points? At 3Q?? 

    Gotta be honest I turned off a long time ago because I choose life, but checking in here and there and this is beyond woeful. Nightmare stuff.

    The Jackson goal in that quarter, I can’t remember that style of goal happening in the Goodwin era. Witches hats. Used to see it every quarter in the dark days. This is as bad as it gets. I’m sure olisik’s and poita’s fingers are warm. 

    Some things are clear 

    we do not deserve to be in the top 8

    our forward coach needs to be changed. But we all knew that.

    our midfield needs a freshen up. 
    some recruits do not need to play again and I include some in Casey. Change the bloooody  lot 

    and the backs need a break,

    the coaching staff and whom ever picks the side needs help,

    God help us   ( I hope she can) 186. Must have been mind blowing

    Have to admit im just laughing at this rabble.  I really shouldn't... I ought to be far more earnest and serious.    Problem is that 18 out there.....aren't 

    Can we please send Goodwin via bus/coach back to Melbourne?

    Doesn't deserve to take the plane, and take some of the players too.

    I'm looking forward to the upcoming changes this week.

    Out: Hunter. In: Billings... fun times.

    Surely silly Goodwin will give the spot to Woewodin?

     

    We are a mediocre team at present and getting shown up by a lot of teams.

    Something has to change because it's not good enough.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
