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

1st half

💩fumbles and fumbles. Oliver

Oliver pathetic little handballs to no one

Metres Gained 160!!! Low!!!

💩 handball to no one . Salem

💩Petty Viney Sparrow Sharp

👏Langdon run

👏clearances even

👏Trac two goals

👏Langford goal

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮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?

Tom Mitchell on the panel looks odd

Where are his Shoulders?

I saw him at Xmas in Byron - I’m 5’7 and he’s not much taller . I had two colonwood supporters with me - wife and 6yo and didn’t think to get a photo for them

Oooops! 😂🧐🤷

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
