Casey turnover Southport goal. Rinse repeat.

4-15 it is beyond pathetic.

This year Billing 1-5, Woey 0-4, Culley 0-3 and someone I forgot 0-4.

Seriously these are still senior footballers.

Not even talking about the missed handballs and kicks.

18 AFL listed players playing for us at our ground.

Lever turns it over and then Jeffo misses from 15 out.

Getting worse

Which coach has them cut back into the corridor? The lack of skill to hit a target has cost 3 goals so far. I think Jeffo just did a hammy but has contributed little. The lack of skill and turnovers is unforgivable. Kolton having a mare and cannot get near the ball and just like the seniors our forward line structure and cohesion is sub standard. We have 18 AFL players on the park today and they are getting pantsed by Southport.

Jefferson has a gimme and misses !!

This is seriously bad

This is hard to watch. Terrible entries in to the forward line and shots on goal are worse. I just don't understand our inability to kick to advantage. It beggars belief.

Tholstrup looks so disinterested. Clearly having a sook in the VFL.

Going to be a long 3 years until his contract runs out

Tholstrup playing like he thinks he should not be out there. His efforts today from my observation have been nothing short of pathetic.

Meanwhile at Casey Fields Bowling Club…

Now Culley from 20 misses.

Meanwhile the Sharks go down the other end and goal again and again and again.

5-3 to 8 behinds, shameful football.

Jeffo finishes the quarter with an out on the full.

Laurie and Fullarton are travelling emergencies. Dees always take two extra passengers on the interstate trips.

Not been my observation the last 18 months 😜.

Southport getting away from Casey - as you would expect when a team kicks 8 behinds in a quarter. The Demons are 4.17.41 to the Sharks 9.7.61.

I think Blake has been pretty unlucky at the top level this year. He hasn't struggled IMV, but he hasn't had huge impact and there are other defenders ahead him.

I just wonder if they need to try him on the wing or at half forward where he played his junior footy.

I reckon we're gonna be alright for tall defenders, which will enable us to play Turner and probably Petty forward long term.

Howes has definitely struggled at AFL level this year and has made too many critical errors. In particular, fumbles and poor handballs. He needs to be ultra clean because he has no real penetration in his offence.

JVR is the new Roger Dorn. One handed [censored]

Geebus! They're even struggling to kick behinds.

Sestan, Adams and Howes all look ok, Kentfield a couple of saves but the rest, oh dear.

I've wathed the last 25 mins and thought exactly the same thing.

I'm a big kolt fan but he's gone down in my estimation. i realise thats a big call given its only a quarter of footy, and he'll learn, but I put a huge stock in players who get dropped but don't drop their head.

Made worse by the fact that goody gave him mutiple games to prove himself and he gave goody nothing.

Wear the red and the blue and effort is 100% non negotiable.

One of the most ridiculous things I've heard this year is two Demons fans calling into senior after our win over the tigers furiously calling for goody to he immediately replaced as senior coach by choco Williams.

Blokes supposedly our kicking coach and in my 50 yearsof supporting the dees I don't think I can remember a list that accross the board is so woeful at kicking.

What a stinker

So [censored] frustrated

Part time team beating our full time professionals

Culley ❌

Jefferson ❌

Billings ❌

All can go now !!!

JVR … looking lost

Hey Freo … Kolt might be available!!

Kentfield. Adams. Howes. Sestan. They are just ok. Just !!!

Still in the game if they are half interested

Stop kicking sideways and run through the corridor.

Rapidly turning into a Clinic for the Sharks. Smelling blood 🩸in the Casey Fields aquarium.

This game has reinforced a lot of my views.

JVR is a defender playing forward (and is being played forward because he is a good set shot kick for goal).

Jefferson is a bust.

K Brown could make it.

Sestan could make it.

Howes is a good VFL player.

Culley is way too slow.

Campbell is a very good backup.

Verrell is not strong enough or good enough at ground level.

I don't think Adams is a good enough kick to make it.

Overall, out list management decisions have been too conservative in turning the list over.

Oh please. If we'd kicked 17.5 or even 11.11 we'd be winning. Pretty clear what we need to work on

Paddy Cross goal of the week!!!

That's true, except it has been the problem for at least 3 years and we are actually getting worse.

Tholstrup and Cross goal but Southport too good.

Lead by 26 points
