Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


CASEY DEMONS 2017 PRE SEASON


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

17 minutes ago, KC from Casey said:

I'm currently on leave but I'm looking forward to reports from Sunday's game.

I think one of the problems facing AFL clubs with teams in the VFL is the fact that the starts to the seasons for the competitions are so far apart.

Casey is having its first hit out against another VFL team this weekend and yet Melbourne finished its pre season games  more than a week ago,

This has left quite a few players in a bit of a limbo without much game time, especially since Simon Goodwin basically stuck with almost the same squad throughout the three JTL games.

 

As you say a real issue. And then there are the byes (only two this year I think)

Add in our interstate games (two of which are our own fault) where players are taken as emergencies plus any where the VFL game is played before or close in time to the AFL game thus again taking emergencies out of play and one can see how hard it is for players on the fringe to get real game time

Played all 3 JLT: Hogan, Jones, Salem, Petracca, Lewis, Viney, Brayshaw, Gawn, Oliver, Stretch, Melksham, Vince, T Mc, Weeds, O Mc, Hunt, ANB, Bugg, Spencer, Harmes

Inj: JKH, Wagner, Hibberd, Frost, Vanders, King

Apparently 17 to play

FB: Jetta   Garland
HB: J Smith Hulett  McKenna
C: ##### Tyson
HF: Kent Pedersen  Watts
FF: Garlett Keilty Hannan
Foll: Flipper?  Trengove  Kennedy
Int: Johnstone  ?Maynard (?T Smith  ?White I think have had niggles recently)

I reckon there's at least 4 and maybe up to about 6 spots available for guys playing at Casey. Tyson, Watts, Garlett could just lock up 3 of them with solid performances but 3rd tall defender (Garland or J Smith or even Jetta with a smaller line up), half forward (Kent) and tall forward/ruck (Pedda) could also make a mark. Plenty to play for.

20 played all 3 JLT.  I see 4 in and 2 out.

Agree Tyson, Garlett and Watts have the opportunity to cement their spots.

Either J.Smth or Garland also in.

One of Spencer or Weed plays and one out, the MC already has the info for that decision.

Probably ANB out too, or maybe Harmes.

I would expect whoever is lined up to play the Saints next week will only play half game time on average so it will be interesting to watch the rotations and watch who sits out in the 2nd half.

Should be an indication of selection.

I doubt anyone will play a full game on a 6 day break running into the first game of the season.

Yep, makes total sense. I'm expecting a fair few Casey listed players to rotate through for that exact reason. I'll be sure to try to track how much game time the big name players have (Watts, Tyson etc.)

Watts output will be interesting. His presence at Subiaco was not as convincing as hoped. I am unsure of what  has got into him. I would have thought 2017 would have been his opportunity to put forward a message to the league i.e  that he is worth his billing as an elite talent. What other motivations does he need?? Hogan has resigned and we have a committed core pf die hards. Nothing like we have seen over the past 20 yrs.

 

Jack Watts: Despite our clubs unwavering support of his presumed (and flashes) of brilliance,  the only consistent in Watts' portfolio is his consistent failure to uphold his promise. Even McCartney (who has an enviable track record for grooming elite talent -  think Ocean Grove/Geelong FC/Dogs) seems to have failed. His influence on other players rebukes this anomaly with regard to the emergence of Brayshaw, Oliver, Hunt. Trak, Weed. Smith, Hogan and O Mac. (honorable mentions to JKH, ANB, Hulett and Maynard).I am sure there will be more to add to this imnpressive list of emerging talent.

 

I for one hope he does a 180. That said, there is not much room for sentimentality in war. He has shown he doesnt have what it takes to be a leasder of this club. Others have overtaken him in the pecking order. His mates Wil (old McDonald)  stick up for him. Counts for little thou with a new coach; a credible one at that  given he can be tough enough to  see through all the crap,  including ego.

Just arrived at the ground.

It's a beautifully sunny day here in Cranbourne and is slowly heating up, I don't envy the boys playing today as the sun has a fair bit of bite to it.

Unfortunately the jumper numbers are a bit of a mess at the moment and without any sort of VFL record or team list I will struggle identifying players but I'll try my best.

Have they installed an eftpos machine yet? If they have I'll leave my current address - the Tatry Ski Club at Mount Buller - and slip down the mountain. But only if they have eftpos facilities.

Are you saying spencer won't play because they are trialling jack in ruck? 

Sort of. Wouldn't risk Spencer at Etihad. Pedo and Watts to help in ruck duties.BTW,Trengove BOG atm. Just kicked a goal. Joel Smith excellent.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
