GAWN AND VINEY CAPTAIN AND VICE CAPTAIN TO CASEY... JUST TERRIBLE

Yea it's not a good look with zero.marks for both.

Is Sparrow injured

2 touches...he must be. What happened?

As ugly as we are, we are still in it.

Some more intensity than last week.

Hell let's be honest. There was none at all last week. Full stop.

Jeez what a frustrating watch, but honestly a big improvement this week. Shame about some shocking umpiring. You can tell confidence is low, hopefully a bit of momentum will stay our way next half! Still definitely in this 💪

    Having Yze and McQualter leave one after the other can't have helped.

    This just comes down to who wants it more.

    Can most of team lift and drive themselves to our first win

    T-Mac's been VG down back.

    The injection of Turner up forward at least makes us look a tad more dangerous and offers another mobile marking option until JVR finally hits some lead up / marking form.

    Turner's mobility at ground level also brings a tad more pressure at ground level inside 50.

    Fritta's done ok as a link up HHF but still nowhere near it around goals in that first half.

    Tracc is driving this team hard you can see it both with effort and letting everyone know where they need to be at.

    Max also lifted in that quarter and even more so after the questionable free against him in our 50.

    Clarry, while not as his best is willing himself to so many contests and bringing alot of the little pressure acts to force turnover and/or get the ball moving forward / to our advantage where poss.

    If some of the lessor lights in the team and a severly out-of-form Viney can lift in this second half we might get close but wouldn't put any $$ on it.

    Not even Max can get the better of Old Father Time.

    He desperately needs the back-up ruck we haven't got.

    We have one TC who did pretty well in the preseason - but Goody too stubborn to play him.

    Been an issue from round one.

    Pass the hat and get some tape measures.

    It’s completely deliberate though. They’ve clearly been directed to call play on and they treat us like complete mugs.

    Get Fkkn angry Dees!

    call me crazy but I was just entertaining buying a last minute ticket and going to the game to witness a big upset. Yes, tickets are still $75!

    Play Fritsch out of the Goalsquare Goodwin FFS….

    Absolutely!


    I thought the floodgates were about to burst open, but credit to the boys for fighting back and squaring the quarter.

    Jack Henry out of the game with a hammy. He was causing us some problems early doors.

    Petty looks pretty hopeless, like he just doesn't care, why is he getting games?

    Henderson good, Milkshake, Chandler, Fritsch looking decent too is nice for a change.

    Less dropped marks but still some real easy ones, Gawn terrible dropped marks, JVR too but still we are looking better at least and still just in the game.

    Langford looks great and Trac and Viney too. Love Henderson getting kudos from Lyon, he's good.

    Petty though seriously, I hate to agree with Kane Kornes but he said it spot on the radio this morning you'd be wrapped if you found out Petty was the guy playing on you during a game...we can't have that!!!

    Some of that first half was horrible but we still have a sniff but we still could get flogged.

    The first goal in the 3rd will be critical to building some belief we desperately need..

    We've had a couple of very stiff "not 15" calls against us that seemed like BS, or at least they didn't call the same for Cats. They don't make it easy for us do they.

    The most disappointing part is that despite the improved effort, it's really obvious that we're completely outclassed.

    The structure, cohesiveness and decision making is just not where it needs to be. We are scoring goals through opposition errors and quick flashes of individual desperation.

    It's the same trends from 2022 after three years of devolution

    🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮umps !!!


    Have been saying for the last two years that we needed to draft a defender. Now May is clearly in decline and Petty looks [censored], while Adams is doing nothing at Casey.

     

    How do you lose the ability to tackle?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
