I am sick of the JVR bashing on this forum. You try performing in a.forward line that bombs it on top of your head week after week, and being coached by a backman who teaches him no forward craft. Don't be surprised if the way he is playing IS due to the way he has been instructed to play.

    2 GOALS IN A HALF?!

    And one of them was from a class kossie bit of magic. Everything looks hard once it gets to the forward 50.

    It says a lot on a top deck, perfect for footy, not a breath of wind and we’ve managed just 2 goals.

    Just went out the shed and blew a dart.
    Looked up at my '21 GF poster.
    15 Premiership players we've got out here tonight.

    Fumbly, sloppy, indecisive, none of them seem to know what they should be doing. It is unbelievable to think this was the team to beat a couple of years ago, they look like headless chooks out there.

    When we had Roffey who was a great President because she offered something different. Green and Jones are Fanboys and they are not football intellects wide-armed person people (as Roffey was).

    A lot of the reasons why we are in the mess we now find ourselves is due to Roffey’s ‘leadership’.

    Her complacency as president is as great as Goodwin’s as coach.

    Who knew that when you play one key forward who is only 193cm you won’t take F50 marks…. Oh that’s right every demon supporter and person other than the coaches.

    Worst move he's made since Omac up forward

    Sigh. It is all looking too familiar.

    Scrappily keep ourselves clinging on in the general play but completely failing to take the opportunities when we manage to send it forward.

    Gradually falling behind... and then...

    The shoulders drop and there's a 15 minute period where we give away multiple goals.

    Sometimes the cycle repeats twice in a single game, sometime the slump period just runs out the rest of the game like against Geelong.

    It is almost the exact opposite of our 2021 experience - grinding away with a slight steady advantage, until the opponent can't keep up and we shatter them at some stage of the second half.

    100%. JVR has shown he is a player, we are absolutely ruining his development.

    When you are watching it live you get a true appreciation to how substandard the skill level is , including routine short passes! The number of times kicking to opposition players!! Woeful !!

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
