Positives from the game

PJ looked like he can really play.

Bate, Sylvia and Dunn should be in next week. Wheels, Bartam and Rivers not far away now.

Yze should not play again - his contract ends this year anyway. We have the most over 30's on our list in the AFL.

Play the young players.

White getting close to the end.

i thought wheatley and beamer had a real crack...

robbo was dangerous when he had the delivery...

weetra can find the footy, just needs a little more composure...

cale's kick to green in the last quarter was a gem, shows he knows how to use the ball...

i don't think it would've mattered who played on Buddy Franklin, no one could've stopped him...

In JUNK TIME!!! Pffft

yeah, when he had the delivery, the pressure was off our midfield and they finally delivered to him... the midfield was under too much pressure throughout most of the game and they didn't give him a chance...

What about the incident about a min. before that pass, when Cale was caught in a shocking position running back into the pack, and showed he was prepared to take the crash. With THAT body, it took real guts. Weetra stood his ground under immense pressure once, too.

Brock came into form in Q 4.

Johnson did a hell of a lot better than White.

Garland strove hard. Jones tried his guts out.

Yep, those two pieces of play from Cale Morton were standouts for me.

Thought Paul Johnson showed a lot (one of the few that looked like he wanted to be out there). Moloney had a bit fight about him and kept battling till the end. Buckley took them on a few times, and tried hard and Miller wasn't too bad down back. Not too much else that I could take from all of that. Greeny and McLean only came good in the second half.

PJ was a positive in every way. White desperately needs to reinvent himself.

Just got home from the game after drowing my sorrows with 5 or 6 (more like 15 :wacko: ) too many beers afterwards. I dont even want to get started on the negatives or i'll be here all night...

So, i decided to post in the positves thread. I'm far too [censored] to coherently comprehend my agonising memories of what transpired a few hours ago.

PJ's workrate today was phenomenal. Was one of only a select few who looked like they were willing to put in the hard gut-running yards. A few of his fellow midfielders around him could learn a thing or two from his defensive efforts. On todays performance, he should be ready to take over White's spot very soon. And we need him to. White was just not up to standard today. For a 'mobile ruckman' whose forte is supposedly his ability to win the ball around the ground, 8 soft disposals is just not good enough.

Other positives... ??

Moloney had a pretty good comeback. Jones tried hard as always though his disposal let him down. Buckley was encouraging again, but like Jones lacked polish by foot, and also made some poor decisions. Morton showed some signs, but is still a long way off physically. Not ready for '08 IMO. Weetra took a contested mark early in the game.... Umm, what else? Ummm....

Not much else to write home about. Even the positives have negatives in them.

A positive...ok

The MFC Marquis seemed to be doing a brisk business in signing up memebers.. well it looked like it to me !!. I thought that was encouraging.. Clever of them to not be there after the game too....might have been a few wanting refunds !!! :lol: :D :lol:

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
