VFL Casey Demons VFL 2024 Season

[Proper Gander]

When we are trying to link up with handball with the likes of Fullerton, Verrall and Farris White its little wonder. This team is far too tall. So Melbourne!

This is one of the problems with the VFL competition now it is the reserves for senior level - they are (or feel) obliged to play all fit senior level players so the team balance goes a bit out the window

It’s been the AFL listed players that have been really disappointing.

AMW is the only one who deserves to be anywhere close to selection based on skill level. Tholstrup isnt close. Our talls are all slow, weak and useless.

Him and Dunstan wouldnt allow these easy centre clearances to Box Hill.

Munro would have decked someone by now , just hawks waltzing out of the middle too easily.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Is Woey even out there? Saw him earlier but nothing that quarter.

Apart from kicking in from behinds haven’t noticed him .

Yeah I saw him walking out there from the huddle so hes out there but really quiet game.

Channel 7 reporting: Lever could play this week. May out for at least 2

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Jefferson moved forward

 

[jhong]

Can’t even get a chain of handballs going without stuffing it up .

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

lol, way too easy, pathetic effort by Jefferson too to set the Hawks away

 

[Headless]

Not ideal.

 

[jhong]

Hawks coming out of defence has cut us to pieces all match .

Our depth now is poo. Let's be honest.

He just has delist written all over him at the end of this contract.

Kinda hoping we just rest Lever for the Port game, Crows game is off a 5 day break don't want to take any risks.

 

[Crusty Demon]

Steele looks OK. Worth a look mid season draft? Or do we target a key position player as our depth is poor?

Agree. He was obviously worried about something. Players would know when something feels NQR. Would be silly to push it and get it wrong

Yeah doesn't look good hey. Real Lucas Cook vibes with the lack of competitive drive. It doesn't help Casey have dropped off a bit, but yeah.

I think he was probably scared he'd done the ACL again, when he did it against the Dogs in 2018 it was a very random incident that didn't even look bad.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

The list needs such a clean out at the bottom end, especially the talls, **** carrying round a bunch of no hopers on the list

 

[jhong]

41 pts loss , would have been more if the Hawks kicked straight. Depressing watch tbo .

Yes. I’m sure that was the worry. But even if it was just mild paranoia, I’d prefer he felt confident. Apparently when you are nervy about injury is the exact time when you get injured.

Have noticed him grab his knee in every game this year - Not sure if it's been the same knee every time tbh - but wonder if it's something he's been carrying? Would partly explain his lowered output.

How did you think he played generally though A11?

I didn’t see any of the game but just looking at the stats and he had 21 touches and 7 tackles.

Zero impact, wouldnt have known he had 21 touches watching the game, couple of stylish looking kicks going inside 50 but neither were marked (or on target enough to be marked). Absolutely nothing positive to take from this game for any Melbourne listed player.
