Docs Demons

Who cares about the media. Win games of footy and they will quickly get off our back.

Probably stating the bleeding obvious but this is really a crunch game which we MUST win. Don't care who is selected as long as the 23 players actually put in 110% effort and finally lower the eyes when going forward. If we don't respond this week then something is seriously wrong. Time to stand up Dees.

Your last line is spot on. Our depth is ordinary at best. Looking at the Casey stats you have Bison, TC and Fullarton in the best. The rest struggled to get double digit disposals. I know a couple of our better players are out, but most teams have injuries and cover OK. As I mentioned last week and got a few negative responses our skills are not good. We miss kicks and handballs all too often. Time to have a week of just skills training. Maybe heaps of circle work like in the old days. Hope we can turn it around as coming down from Qld for the Anzac eve game with sons and grandsons and would love to see us back to our best. I can dream can't I!

My 2 bobs worth. Skills, skills and more skills are lacking. Not sure what we did over summer but again our lack of skillful players let us down. They had Green, Greene, Coniglio, Whitfield & Callaghan all that find space and deliver in spades. We had Lindsay and not much else especially by foot. Salem played OK but those dinky little kicks that go higher than long put us under pressure. He needs to put some oomph into his kicks even those shorter ones. Great effort by the guys and stiff to lose it but our skills still letting us down. Special mention to TMac. Played a great game.

Dub I think you're on the wine or something. No way is Langdon the sub

No certainty

I reckon the Forward line is working OK. Keep having 35 shots at goal, particularly against a decent back line like the Dockers with quite a few from so called easy range and spots then we will win most games. Also, we had all these chances without JVR.

Yep, same with me.

I'm in as Docs Demons but chuck me out if you are filling up as also in Distractions comp.

Overall, I was happy with our performance. Playing over in WA at a country oval against a pretty good side and only just losing is a plus in my view. The young fellas got to experience a trip with the team and will be better for the run. Only concern is we need a more even performance from our 3–5-year players to help out Trac, Clarrie, Gawn and JV. They just can't do it all on their own. Also kick straighter would help but all the stats show we will be up there this season.

Looking forward to watching this game and see if we finally move the ball into the forwards with precise kicking and of course the forwards spreading and leading up to the ball carrier. And as with all of you no injuries.

Look forward to watching if/when the club puts it up on the site.

Agree. Reckon he is quick enough for AFL. Has excellent vision and can dispose well. Crippa and the Bont aren't the quickest around and there not too shabby.

Who cares godees as it is only a match sim, and we get to see most of our youngsters and others that have come into our club. I'm excited to see what they can do, and the end result has no bearing on our chances this year.

Few posters having a go at the club for this selection when most beforehand had trust in JT. Let's give the guy a go and see how he trains, plays in the praccy matches and early on at Casey before getting stuck into him and who picked him. Could turn out to be a JT special.
