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

3rd qtr 

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

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.

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.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
