Fullarton’s field kicking leaves a lot to be desired and that’s being nice.

 

Casey have gone from 8.1 to 15.13

Disappointing kicking since quarter time.

 
3 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

it's a real worry - three pre-seasons and he simply runs out of puff shortly after half time at afl level, and by 3/4 time at vfl level

This is his 3rd season, from my memory he had an uninterrupted preseason. He simply isn't a Senior level player. Nothing can be judged about his form today. He is playing against poor backs at VFL level.


We can't kick them from straight in front, but we can slot them from the boundary!

Sharp kicks his fourth

Casey appear to have taken the foot of the pedal.

Zebras getting some junk time goals.

Casey misfiring in front of goal.

Mitch Hardie uncharacteristic miss.

Kynan Brown a smart little player.

Sharpie’s fourth!!!!

 

Verrell kicks Casey's 17th goal of the afternoon

If you look at Jefferson’s scouting reports - he has always had days where he has kicked 2.5 and then 5.2 the next week.

If you are looking for reasons to write off Kolt and Jefferson, you can do that today. Easily you could also make an argument that the skills they showed today would translate to 200 game afl players.

Sharp putting his hand up with his fourth goal.

KC he has played numerous games for the Lions and they let him go. He has had a number of senior games this year. He is a VFL standard player nothing more nothing less.

Fullerton's had a dirty second half in defence


Great followup tackle by Luker that resulted in Sharp’s fifth goal.


sharp gets to the right spots to impact i50

wouldn't hurt to try him as a small forward rotation with chandler in the afl

Casey 18.15.123
Sandringham 9.6.60

best half dozen for mine...

4: hardie
3: bonner
2: campbell
1: laurie

duursma will be a serious talent based on his first vfl performance

You can do that if you don’t give handballs when they are there

He definitely burnt a few team-mates with a couple of his goals.

Siren sounds and that’s the ball game.

This was another commanding display by the Demons, who will enjoy a bye next week before facing a couple of tough challenges. Although they are not yet guaranteed a finals spot, and may regret a few narrow defeats at the hands of lower-ranked teams a few weeks ago, they remain well-placed to secure a wildcard game next month. For now, it’s a matter of observing how the other contenders perform next week.

Clueless statement. He has been dreadfully managed this year to his own detriment & that of the team. And he's not the only one managed poorly.

I’ve heard this side over and over, can you flip the record and give us a listen to your B side,

Yeah, definitely not writing Jeffo off at all.

I think it's insane he got dropped instead of letting him have a run with JVR in the seniors to try and find a rhythm together.

It just struck me as reflective of our kicking and skills across the whole group.

A great pack mark and then a total lack of concentration and technique to put your head over the ball and drill a drop punt from 30 out.

It sums up our season. Loads of effort and then puss poor execution.

It drives me mad, I wanted to see the lad kick 6 today. He should be given a good run in the seniors.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
