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: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
