Gawn - All Australian performance 

Viney - great first half

Pickett - always looked likely

Neal-Bullen - impressive connection game

Billings - many wasted possessions 

Salem - impressive first half

Langdon - needed more involvement 

Petty - had some moments

Sparrow - not a tagger

McVee - rarely showed out

McDonald - held opponent well

Chandler - was rarely dangerous 

Lever - just a shadow

Tomlinson - effective not showy

Hore - some inexplicable errors

Oliver - lazy and inefficient 

Turner -?had little impact 

Fritsch - a wasted talent

Howes - held dangerous opponent 

Tholstrup - regularly lacked awareness 

Rivers - a disappointing performance

vanRooyen - couldn’t get involved 

Melksham - couldn’t influence game

 

 

Bit tough  on melksham
he played half a quarter! plus he was involved in what should have been the winning play via fritsch and tholstrup. 

I thought TMac was not good tonight, and was outmarked by Ratagulea multiple times. Chandler was terrific in his pressure and tackling - surely you saw that, Joeboy! Hore was much better in there second half as he got the pace of the game. And Oliver has many issues, with his hand and his  fitness, but not lazy! So:

 

Joeboy - got many wrong.

Edited by Ollie fan

 

Oliver was pretty sick and others too, so even better effort.

And yet we lead most of the night and went down by 2 miserable points.

I BELIEVE SO !!!


There’s a few players with covid at other clubs who are suffering. Wouldn’t surprise if a few of our players are too.

McVee - not a mid 

Does not have the frame or ability in heavy congestion. He's a ripping 1v1, aerial and slingshot player. His home is half back.

why play him??

I am far from a Sparrow fan but the amount of times I’ve seen ‘Sparrow - great tagging game’ or similar would suggest you do think he can tag

So you base that broad statement on a sample of one and a bit games? Gee, you're good Nostradamus.

Very tough assessments there indeed.  Thought Turner, Lever and Sparrow were all very good contributors.  The pile on of Clarry is obscene.

I'm not basing it on his output as a mid last night. I'm basing it on my assessment of him as a player and I've been saying this ever since people started mentioning his name for midfield 

Am allowed to have long held opinions champ. Jog on

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1Âœ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
