JEFFO now playing lose man in defence WTF

Nice grab and hit up from Fritta to AJ for our first


Verral struggling at CBs so far

 

Casey pressure is up, both teams making some really silly errors with ball in hand


Breeze has picked up...5 goals or so

Really wonky casey line up with Kentfield and Jefferson playing as defenders. Team synergy and pressure is all off.

Phark bring out the witches hats.

A nightmare start for Casey conceding the first five goals to the Giants (and there's not much of a wind advantage by the way).

QT Casey Demons 1.1.7 trail UWS Giants 6.1.37

Goal Johnson

Disposals Bonner 7 Billings Sestan 6

JVR looks cooked already.

Has sam Weideman/Chris Dawes bucket hands. Aleer and Derksen are doing an absolute number on him.

Siren couldn't come soon enough

Looked alot better in that last 5 min or so with AJ taking stoppages and his attack on ball carrier at ground level in back half

Sesto got better as quarter went on

Bonner also with Baldi getting involved.

GWS's transition out of defence looked too easy at times for mine. F50 pressure not great soon as ball hits the deck

Worst team to play against in the VFL when you have no confidence. Those two are starting defenders at most clubs. No need to overreact.

Keen to see a full game from young Verrell today

As much as I would like to see him succeed

He is not big enough to compete at VFL level let alone AFL

He tries hard but sadly not going to make it

Hope I’m wrong

Messaging.. harder, halfing more contests, forwards were too forward of ball, correct that. Win it and start driving legs out and connect

Had a great half v Geelong when Cambell went down so im hopeful. Very young as a rookie ruck at 21 so there's a lot of development left.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
