Langdon Back to wing

Viney Needs tough coach

Bit harsh on Bowey and Langdon Joeboy. I thought they were clearly our best two.

Problem is .... you're both right...

They might have been our best.... but they were quite ineffective in the greater scheme of things.


Bowey was our best.

Good summary per usual JB.

You mentioned the very few God efforts so it's nice to see some positives.

Jvr had gone so far backwards and having an anti break out year. More like a breakdown year.

But we are in serious trouble with marque players serving up some of that.

Fritta is really on the fritz.

And yes Sparrow just keeps plodding along. For five or six years now. Surely after all this time and little effort we can play someone else.

Petty now failing in his old role as well.

May gets a mulligan in his first game.

Billings should be billed half his salary back.

And I love Rivers but he's caught the I've forgotten how to play big as well.

I thought Salo was your only error.

Max...I just love the bloke too much to criticize but suffice to say he's had always been a barometer of the club each game.

Milkshake will be back. See May.( Mulligan,)

And young Lindsay is just heartbreaking for the kid.

But again it's the big names with big salaries and experience that sem to be the issue.

Goody...Check your contract

100% agreement joe boy.

Agreed geriatric Dee.

Sorry I've probably taken that way too far.

You can spell the last word in my username with B of it makes you feel better.

But JB was pretty dope on.

My only detractions would be Salem and Fritta. The latter just a little because he certainly improved and got his hands on the more and increased his tackle count of only two to a lot more from his previous ones of zip. The only issue being his once very realable kicking at goal has kicked the bucket.

Perhaps a sequel of Daniel Day Lewis's film of "My left foot."... to 'My inaccurate foot."

But the team as a whole was atrocious. I forced myself to watch as much of the replay I could physically stomach and it looked worse

It really seemed like a training.match with a team with no games under their belt v a team that had a dozen.

Constant unforced skill errors , terrible accuracy by foot, endless handballs missing their targets and fumbles galore.

And the main problem being this was mostly being done by our more " seasoned players". In fact many of these highly paid veterans looked more clumsy with the ball than a high school boy fiddling with his Beau's undergarments in the back of his 60 Chevy.

  • 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.
