Petty? He played one of the worst key defensive roles at our club since probably a game from OMac in 2020. His body language stinks and got badly beaten in one-on-ones again.

    This is a tough call, unfortunately for all the wrong reasons.

    6.   Chandler:  A four quarter ‘workhorse’.  Ran hard all day, put his body on the line, and kicked three goals. One of his best games.
    5.   Oliver:  Slowly working back to his best.  Never gave up against the odds.
    4.   Salem:  Solid defensively, despite that he seems to have lost a yard.  Mostly precise delivery, and a few nice second efforts.
    3.   Bowey:  Solid game, spoilt by a couple of costly clangers.
    2.   Lindsay:  Very mature and composed for his age and experience. A big part of our future.
    1.    Henderson:  mostly nice vision and neat execution.  Will be around for a while, I expect.

    Not voting - very disappointed,

    Only one player can honestly hold his chin up!

    Didn't see the game, and probably won't, now, but good to see Lindsay featuring.

    Have enough people voted yet to end this toom?

    Working yesterday and just watched the replay, so I feel quite confident that five players were worthy.

    Sixth goes to one of our hardest workers.

    6 Chandler - This was his best game ever and showed that Goody's faith in him was worth the wait. I am one of those who queried his ability to be physically effective enough to play small forward and having some time in middle helped break up that role and he was mega clean, unlike teammates.

    5 Oliver - Very good at winning the footy (12 clearances) and one lovely left-foot goal. But he was part of a terrible bit of play after halftime when both he and Trac failed to stick tackles on Paul Curtis. But still very much a step back to his good old days of 2021.

    4 Lindsay - Laid the most tackles of any Demon and very effective with his disposals. Career only two games in, but gees he looks the part.

    3 Bowey - Made perhaps the biggest howler with a dreadful shanked kick when going long through the middle that resulted in a Zurhaar goal, but otherwise was very serviceable and he's made a great start to the season after a very good game last week.

    2 Salem - Neat and tidy all day and seemed to play close to his opponents.

    1 Sparrow - Yes I know he had no awareness when being chased down with a shot on goal, but at least he worked his butt off along with Viney. Both turned the ball over continuously, but Viney's left boot missed passes did more damage to us than Sparrow's errant ball blasts.

    Not worried about the votes.

    Was that a breakout game for Chandler? Sure looked like it. .Its taken a while but with some players when the penny drops  it hits the turf with a thud.

    He now knows what he is capable of doing.

    If that is his new standard going forward I will take that loss and look forward to Kosi joining him up forward.

    3 Myself for making the effort to go to Shizzen stadium and catching the train and being entertained by the antics of other travellers,which was better than what was dished up by the Dees on Sunday!

    2 Myself for staying till the end

    1 Myself for putting up with buses replacing trains and not getting home until after 9

    Definitely chandlers best game. Did not think he had this level in him, well done.

    other years he has started OK then faded hope this also changes.

    Windsor and Oliver both played well. 
     

    3 positives  make the result a little more palatable

    That Daniel Turner is 8th is bizarre and concerning.

    He touched the pill 7 times at 57% efficiency.

    • 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 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.
