@KC from Casey's report (thanks, as always, KC 🙂) Spooky similarity with the 'seniors'... "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 and not many wanted to get their hands dirty. They allowed a rag tag bunch of unknowns, many of them suburban players, to overrun them and dominate proceedings after the first half hour of play with a final result, a 26 point defeat, flattering to them. "Sometimes a game of football where one team has the upper hand early and the other takes over control is called “a game of two halves”. In this instance, for the Casey Demons, it was a game of one quarter - the first. They appeared to come out firing and doubled Coburg’s score in the first quarter but even that was an illusion because they had the advantage of the early breeze. "For the Demons, at least Matt Jefferson with two goals continued on from an encouraging game last week with a couple of goals in the opening term. Mitch White led from the front and Koltyn Tholstrop and Andy Moniz-Wakefield showed a bit. "After that, it was a one way street with the home side running rings around them in the second quarter booting seven goals to one. You could tell how the enthusiastic Lions from Coburg went into the rooms at half time compared to the way their dejected opponents trudged off that it was already all over. "And so it was, although the home team only extended its lead by a mere four points in the second half. "The Demons were beaten in the ruck, at the stoppages and around the ground. Their skills were appalling at times. White stood out and did his best and he had some good lieutenants in Edwards, Neocleous and Steele. Blake Howes picked up a lot of possessions but he was always under the pump while Jed Adams and Bailey Laurie worked hard all day. Too many players came out of the game with clean hands and, unlike last week, it can’t even be said that it was a gallant defeat." Only the names have been changed to protect the ... *cough* Worrying that 'the full list' delivered this sort of apparent 'attitude'.

...and 'direction', 🎲🎲? Oops. Do I need legal aid now, too, @mo64? 🙂😉

Clutching. Straws. Yeah, I know. Nonetheless, a small smile is allowed... https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1570243/vflw-dees-nab-thrilling-win

Did you mean the vomit emoji then, D?🤔

Uh-oh... Break it to me gently, those who can bear to watch...

Big Freeze announcement: is Neale no longer walking? 🥺

If Geelong wins, I'll shout the bar if Chris Scott mentions that Richmond's set-shot kicking contributed.

They like to look noice. Image is everything. p.s. Tigers should claim the gate.

It's what happens when the ball's been thrown to you. Luck breeds luck.

Has it been explained why Tiges r in black shorts and Cats r in white?

Yep; surely a player with only a dozen games under his belt gets to plead the Charlie Cameron defence...

Someone must have been up all night. Or is it a case of a very wishful-thinking 'Here's one I prepared earlier'?

It was a nice experience last season, wasn't it. Now can't have us supporters getting comfortable, what!

Healthy percentage, the Doggies. Poised for a ladder leap, so keep the joy a bit contained, folks...

I think they're doing subliminal public service messaging: 'Kids, be careful what you ask the barber for; this is what you could look like.'

Won't happen till next year, if it happens. Meanwhile, a distant bright spot: CP5 is second on the list!

That's made me google 'pocket square'. Result? Yet another reminder of how full-to-bursting the internet must be...

Sprung!

If I don't, somebody else will, Bobo. Sorry...

What ad?

Got vision?

Another weakened weekend for Casey Dees.

Actually, 😄

Boy (Girl?) we've had some turnover, haven't we?!

Nice call, LDVC. Edit to '@' her?
