Docs Demons

Season is not in tatters. 3/6 is not good however that effort with nearly a Casey team in was great and just watch when players start returning. We win 2 out of next 3 ( tough I know) and the second half of year will be ours. If will we are good enough to make finals I don't know but boy no one will want to be plying us after the bye !!

I think if he had 5% of the old old number 31 heart he would be a great player.

If not a few of us Demonlanders may need to put the boots on for Casey!! I'm out as to old and up in Qld

They may well have been dropped.

We are starting to get some players back or near back from injuries and IF we can win 2 out of next 4 which will be tough we hopefully turn after bye with close to full list barring further injuries. We then can come home with a rush and come close to the 8. If we do not make it I can assume no opposition will be keen to be playing us.

And all those critics need to be reminded we made a PF last year after 2 brilliant final wins.Lot more than Roos did. Great effort and he will no doubt be remembered as a great MFC coach in years to come. Just watch this space.

No way you can play Keilty in the ones anywhere. I was there yesterday and whilst he was not alone he gave the ball up most times he touched it. As mentioned before I believe he will be a player but needs more time at Casey as he is not up to AFL standard at moment. OMac was better than Keilty yesterday by heaps. Their key forwards had no impact in game so our taller backs did OK.

No certainty with Melk also. Talked to him after game and asked how is foot is and he said 50/50. Not sure. Can only hope he comes up for us with Lewis and only Hibberd out injured. Looks like Pruess and Smith played well at Casey so I would put both in for Hibberd and unfortunately Keilty who just not appear to be up to AFL standard just yet. Give him time though as I think he will be a player for us. Just not now

I was also one of the 9k people there and witnessed the worst game of footy I have seen live. Looking forward to a better standard at twin Grand Sons under 14's game tomorrow. This forward set up is not working. Watched them closely today. TMac is behind too often looking for ball over back expecting our guys to kick it 70 metres every time then when some one led it sailed over. It is a huge problem and whilst we win the ball we MUST fix up our disposals this week or we are in big trouble against WC

Agree. Win 2 out of next 3 (or all 3 ) then our troops start dripping back in and all our opponents will be worried. Still a sneaky chance of finishing in 8 and boy if that happens then look out.

Correct Redleg. He is dumb. Most sports people in whatever sport they play will confirm that drinking does not assist in recovery of soft tissue or torn muscle injuries one little bit. One may even suspect that his prolonged absence from what was initially a couple of weeks out may have been attributed to not adhering to the rule to keep off the P when injured .

Looking at this it appears Spargo did next to nothing again.

Or the bus from Palm Beach along Gold Coast Highway to bus station at Broadbeach then the Footy bus from there

Struggled to find his way however a couple of nice things as previously mentioned and I would certainly play him again this week now that one is under his belt.

We actually disposed of the ball better that quarter and looked for players in the red and the blue. Amazing stuff. Also spreading. Come on boys. 30 more minutes. Hawks off 6 days. They must be tired after chasing us that qtr.

School kid stuff. Can't kick, can't handball and still to many in close at ball and no one spreading. Its not that hard !

I've tipped us also. Just a gut feel plus Hawks off a 6 day break and we have had plenty of rest and time to sort out our issues going into Forward line.

We'll win the next 2 and be 3/5 then some players may start to return. Keep the faith people.

Why O why we keep coming back to Spargo. The guy had 13 disposals (50 odd Dream team points in the two's), wasted his kicks and we want him back after this one game. He needs a block in the two's to show something first.

Spargo no goals and wasted kicking. He has a long way to go.

Well that is our main problem. We must have spares somewhere and this is where we are falling down with the so called CONNECTION. No one is looking when going into forward line. Just packing themselves and bombing it and you and I could take marks by ourselves if we were defenders and that is saying something as I am as old as the hills !!

Crowded with oppo players!!! Most disposals being 2 Tigers defenders mainly winning ball by themselves.

Exactly. Nailed it. Been saying for last week we need our top 6-10 players playing at their very best with others contributing for us to start firing up again. At moment it is just not happening and I would go as far as saying none of our better players are playing to their best.

Oli, do not know how old you are but I was around in 60's and both you and I would have got 28 disposals out there tonight with Dees kicking to us!!! when we are by ourselves!!!

Also 5 youngest were Tigers.
