Our backline was under siege because our mids let their mids walk it out of stoppage.

NM (mel)

Scoring from def - 38 (22)

From fwd - 44 (30)

From centre - 43 (14)

Scoring from Stoppage - 69 (17)

Scoring from Turnover - 60 (43)

My own opinion is that we have prioritsed ball movement (in this forum and the coaching staff) in the past 12 months and thats been a  SIGNIFICANT detriment to our turnover differential, where the game ultimately matters.  We just dont have the right players in the right period of their careers for this game plan.  Hope im very wrong.

    So, can there be a general round of 'ayes' for, at the very least, playing Fritsch one-out in the goalsquare?

    Nobody, literally nobody, can reliably beat him in a one on one contest with three seconds of time to pick the lock.

    Or the coaching staff haven't adequately explained/taught the alternative method that is easily understood by and that all players buy into.  So players are confused ... that is how they look to me.

    They certainly looked confused and bewildered in the second half v. Norf. 

    Is it the plan / coaching, or are they (nearly all) not very bright?

    • 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 1½ 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.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
