@joeboy job well done

Kozzzy in the votes?? He was exciting for his goal but … overall he fumbled and twice missed targets inside 50. His missed bump instead of tackle was again not what we want to see. He wasn’t our worst performer, but not close to our best. His defensive run back was also lacking. He nearly got Dudley but that too late and not repeated enough

You watched the game. Anyone giving Chin some votes must have watched the last qtr only. He had to do something to keep his spot.

Demonlanders How does Steven King talk to Kozzzy about becoming elite? He was exciting for his goal v Freo but … overall he fumbled and twice missed targets inside 50. His missed bump instead of tackle was again not what we want to see. He wasn’t our worst performer, but not close to our best. His defensive run back was also lacking from what I saw. His best chase down on Dudley was an exception. He’s still young and I’m sure Kingy will work on it. However a big $$ contract means we want more than just a one moment of magic!!

The Kings Speech @demonland Very disappointing game. Gave up a 42 point head start Fundamentals not on point Points against on Turnover were telling letdown Inefficient going inside 50 , especially in the 3rd Didn’t use the footy with composure going inside 50 At least we did not capitulate . Fought it out. Steep leaning curve for many. Didn’t deal with the pressure. Couldn’t handle the pressure. Prepared well but playing system not embedded yet Kolt did a good job on Serong Method around the ball allowed Brayshaw to get the footy They worked us over in contest to contest CJ and Howes battled on but missed Disco. (Turner hand injury) Monitor Max Gawn physically week on week and see if we use the double ruck situation. Heath one of our best at Casey so consider things going forward.

@Demonland this week it was a clear 6 best players for me 6 Gawn - 100% effort Battled two rucks He’s a warrior 5 Steele - fought hard & tackles hard - 7 inside 50s - 9 clearances- 8 tackles - 9 score involvements 4 Langdon - runs and runs and KICKED two goals - never gave up and used the corridor 3 Salem - composed and skilled - one grab footy and not overwhelmed when under pressure - only bloke to realise to stop Voss muscle show 2 Throlstrup - good job to restrict Serong all night (Serong goal was due to another missed tackle by Windsor) 1 Lever - last week he was so so poor. This week made steady decisions- locked up tackles - 9 intercept marks - 88% disposal efficiency Mention to Riv - ran hard but not sure he’s better in the midfield- missed some crucial tackles and fumbled twice that led to Freo goals .

Dees seriously poor this week - crash landing !! X Turnovers turnovers turnovers X Poor skills - Poor decisions X Second to the footy X Bombing it inside 50 - allowing Freo to intercept X Losing clearances X JVR parachute hands again X Missed tackles - Gotta lock it in X lazy disposals Kozzy Jiath Riv 👍🏻Use the footy through the corridor. We used it a few times and got scores 👍🏻Max is a warrior. 100% effort every week. Need MAX HEATH in !! Can’t have Gawn wrecked. Can’t have JVR thrown into the ruck. Need ANW in !! Small defender. Dudley could have kicked 6 !! Bolton brought his own footy

Votes 6- Heath 5- ANW 4- Bonner 3- Stanley 2- Mentha 1- Berry

Good call. They look exhausted in the second match !! Skills also shaky. Not sure what happened over summer !!!

3rd Kings notes … Rivers fumbles turnover Freo goal Jiath terrible handball turnover Freo goal Windsor kick 20 meters miss target - turnover Freo. Voss miss (lucky) Sparrow inside 50 kicks to … kozzzy!! Wtf Bolton. Dees let him run and run into z50 (at him !!) Jiath had to close quicker. Freo goal. Dees running forward. Kozzzy little handball to Langford - behind him !! Loose. Very loose. Steele. Inside 50 kick. Just a bomb !! Not to any advantage Freo kick inside 50 to space. Freo goal. Chandler kick inside 50. Straight to Ryan. 👍🏻pressure inside 50. Score through contest. Sparrow good finish. 👏Gawn intercept mark. Courage. ?? Chandler. Rivers. Want the footy ??? Serong. Windsor terrible poor tackle. Freo goal. Latrelle!! Running in 25 metres out. Finish omg - kicks 15 metre to Freo. Turnover. Missed tackle. Missed tackle. Dudley goal. Kozzzy. Not tackle. Goes to bump. Hits Salem. Not smart at all !! Inside 50s Freo 12. Score 7.2 dees 14. Score 1.2 Bombing !! You know the method. Dumb footy. Turnovers and missed tackles and dumb footy.

Trac injured Oliver was average. Handballs to no one once again on show

It was a shocker Clear … kick it Handball to nowhere

Rivers fumbled badly !!

Rivers turnover 🤬 Rivers fumbles turnover 🤬 Freo goal 🤬

Completely agree DD36 I think AMW and Heath will likely get promoted soon. Also liked the energy of Tommy Matthews and his goal smarts.

Tommy goals. 👏👏He is a ripper

Stanley goal 👏👏 End to end 👏👏 Bonner run and link up and run 👏👏 AMW setup with direct clean rebound too 👏👏

Hard to the beat the Dogs and the umps 🤬

I did mean before that!!

AMW and Bonner are a step above. Bonner would’ve been a handy player still at senior AFL footy. AMW will be back in the 1sts very soon. Clean with his possession and composed Agree young Tommy Matthews has some energy. Just needs to get his hands on the footy. Treloar is above this & enjoying his run. I think they are restrict his minutes.

Need to get Melksham into the game

Dolan drops the mark. Mark paid !! Umpires are third rate.

@Nascent agree seems like it’s kick kick kick. But moving it downfield quickly is a nice change from the over possession footy game.

Craven. Nice. Two goals. Quick ball movement and crumbs a goal. Back to 4 points. Bonner doing well.
