Went down and had look. Must say not a bad game and was above a hell of a lot AFL games seen this year. Just a note on a couple players.

Viney. Bring him straight back to the seniors. Knows what to do with the ball and positions himself well. Box hill were driving him hard especially in the last quarter but it didn't bother him.

Garlett. Played better the longer the game went. Would consider him for next week.

Hunt. Fumbled badly early on but again got better the longr the game went.

T. Smith. Thaught he was close to our best player. Really strong marking.

Wagner. He was okay. His brother young pony tail wagner was impressive.

Frost. Was serviceable 

Balic. played fairly well.

Bugg. Ho hum.

Great to hear Viney get through unscathed and for Tim Smith to be playing well.  The bloke would be on the cusp of selection, but when you've won three in a row and done it well it's pretty hard to crack the side.  Hopefully we keeps it up so he's ready to come in when needed.

Thanks all for your reports

Is JV an automatic recall next week (?for Tyson)?

And were Bull to play sometime soon what would be his rôle?

Of course Jack Viney is an automaton inclusion. He is the captain.

I doubt it comes at the exclusion of Tyson.

Thats a great win.

I really like Tim Smiths game, great to see Baker in the bests and Keilty and Petty doing well down back.

Hunt is falling down the pecking order, needs to get cracking.

I agree Earl "THE DUKE" Spalding was a very underrated Melbourne CHB, CHF who for some totally bizarre reason ended up at Carltank

Who was the brainiac who authorized that move!!???

And don't care how many possesions Billy Stretch gets, I don't believe he is up to the transition to AFL 

Thoughts??

Stretch got a bit of the ball and like others fumbled a bit and wasn't the cleanest disposer of the pill.

Against a rampaging Box Hill, Casey once again managed to show why they are so hard to beat at home, with the inclusion of some much needed AFL talent this week. Box Hill pushed numerous times but Casey defended strongly and ran the game out to finish on top for a great weekend for the Melbourne Football Club. Here was my take for the individual players. 

 

Viney - Played probably about 70% game time. Was tagged hard whenever he stepped onto the ground but was just a class above. As long as he pulled up okay it will be great to see the Co-Captain back playing AFL next week.

Bugg - Solid. Popped up a few times to kick some goals, but nothing spectacular. 

Stretch- His best game this year. 31 touches and unlike previous weeks actually did a lot with the ball.

Frost - The 3 tall defenders were great all game and Frosty was very solid. Couple of nice grabs and spoils and dashes from the back half.

Pedo - Pretty decent game, although probably should've held a few more marks.

Hunt - Got better as the game opened up but made a lot of mistakes, struggling for form a bit at the moment.

JKH - Hasn't been getting the ball this season as much as he used to but he played predominately forward today and was good.

Garlett - His best game at VFL level. Lively up forward and through the midfield. Set up a few goals from some nice kicking.

Johnstone - Is playing defence and I didn't really notice him, but the Coach gave him some nice praise after the game.

T.Smith - Was best on ground behind Stretch for mine. Took some impressive marks, including a great screamer on the wing and was great up forward.

J . Wagner - Solid again. Used mostly off half back and used the ball well.

J . Smith - Really good in the air today which he wasn't against Geelong, good game.

Keilty - Hopefully today spurs Dec into some form because he was very good. Got to a lot of contests with some good spoils and did well when the ball hit the deck, just needs to hang onto a couple more marks to take his game to the next level.

Filipovic- Pretty good in the ruck against some big Hawks boys, still developing. 

Balic - First game back after about 3 weeks and was pretty good without being great.

Petty - Very good in defence today, took a couple of really strong marks.

Baker - Continuing on from his strong start to the season.

 

Today was a great, high level game of football and with the Seniors in some good form at the moment hopefully the players down at Casey can keep up with them and be knocking on the door.

RPC (Royal Parade Cheaters) turned him into a better footballer post Demons. Surrounded him with better players therefore limiting his deficiencies whilst maximising his strengths.

Call it as I see it. Makes too many dumb mistakes but then again maybe I am already sold on the issue.

What an effort from Casey today; a strong contingent of AFL level players plus all the Casey boys pulled their weight. It was probably the best VFL match I've ever seen against a very strong Box Hill side..

I bought a Casey Demons beanie at the end of the game out of respect.

PS I kept looking up at the balcony wondering which guy up there was Drunkn167.

With Stretch, i'm interested in whether or not he has quickened up his decision making/mind set demeanor, which, to my mind would mean more spontaneous actions. Was this there today?

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
