Some conflicting reports on his game. 

I know you love him though so I can't be surprised with your view. 

I think you will find that I’m not a Tyson acolyte - just giving credit where it is due. At half time, if my memory serves me right his disposal efficiency was 100%. A great, gutsy performance in the conditions.

[defuture15 837]

Drunkn do you know much about Machaya? He looked like he wanted the ball and handled it better than most.

Corey wagner looks like a rookie candidate?

[Wiseblood 24,636]

@stevethemanjordan - Tyson was pretty good today, all things considered.  He still made some errors but those could be forgiven in the atrocious conditions.  Everyone made them.  He worked pretty hard both ways and, for VFL, made himself look a cut above.

However, that doesn't necessarily change his standing in our side, nor do I think it warrants an immediate recall to the seniors.  He had a good, Tyson like game in a position where he feels comfortable - at the feet of King and Filipovic.

Everyone sees the game differently I suppose.

25 possessions and 3 out of 5 goals and JKH isnot in your best. 

He was BOG for me. 

Next time you watch Casey make a mental note how many times Tyson stuffs up. I think 20 of his handballs missed the target. Long way from paying for Dees again. 

What the?  Jkh was in my best.  Better go to SPECSAVERS!!

Tyson setup numerous forward thrusts and was  in every contest with second and third efforts.  It was wet. Really fuc&)n wet.  Tyson had 32 possessions and yes a few clangers. Most did including Jkh. Jkh fumbled a lot today.  Yes most players fumbled. 

Did you watch the game??????

Amazing first game back. He looked like he has played most games for Casey this year.

[Diamond_Jim 11,673]

We play Richmond at Beaconsfield next week.

They are top of the ladder and beat us well last we played.

Should be a great test for AVB , Kent and a few others. Hopefully the conditions make for a meaningful game.

Bit worried about our Casey ruck stocks. If (touch wood) anything happened to Gawn there is nothing there as yet.

Tyson and Bugg prolific.

Kennedy Harris great crumbers game.

Vandenberg what a bull great to see him back.

Baker should be in the seniors he's exactly what we need.

The rest played their part.

 PRESSURE PACKED by KC from Casey

The Casey Demons were simply far too strong for North Melbourne’s new stand alone team in trying conditions on a cold, wet and windy, winter’s afternoon to win their eighth straight game. By doing so, they kept the Kangaroos goalless into the bargain.

The Demons with 17 AFL-listers were in control all day on an inhospitable, rain sodden Casey Fields ground that suited their strong-bodied, persistent, hard tackling game. They produced the ultimate in wet weather football dominating in every facet, perhaps with the exception of in the ruck where North giant Braydon Preuss held sway with a massive 71 hit outs. However, even that advantage was of little assistance to the Kangaroo cause given the fact that the slippery ball and Casey’s pressure in the clinches made it difficult for their on ball brigade to win the clearances. 

Casey had so much of the forward play that it was inevitable the opportunities would eventually come and they did so once or twice in every quarter, which was enough for them to forge an emphatic 37-point victory. That they kept they opposition to just seven points (three in the games’s dying moments) was a testament to their commitment to work hard all over the ground.

The man who relished the difficult conditions most was possibly the shortest on the ground in Jay Kennedy Harris who kept his feet and his composure to score the only three goals of the second and third quarters. He finished the game with 25 touches. Along with Tom Bugg and Dom Tyson (31 possessions each), the trio controlled the midfield and ensured that Casey was going to be favoured in the majority of those stoppages where the ball wasn’t shoveled over the boundary line or killed under the weight of a pack of players. 

That was the sort of game you expect on a day when howling winds and teeming rain are the order of the day. Those conditions would certainly have suited the burly Aaron vandenBerg in the ordinary course but you would hardly have expected that 679 days after his last game he would collect 23 disposals and 16 tackles after coming onto the ground at quarter time. We saw less of his teammate Pat McKenna, a former champion junior cricketer who has been out of the game for almost as long as vandenBerg, but he would have been happy to get through three quarters after a couple of seasons that have been cruelled by hamstring issues.

The Wagner brothers were solid again - Corey (19 touches and 15 tackles) was excellent against his old club and is really staking a claim for a second chance at AFL level while Jay Lockhart and James Munro with 20 possessions each coming out of defence hardly put a foot wrong all day.

The Demons are home again next Sunday against Footscray and will be anxious to maintain their pressure packed style on yet another opponent.

AVB 16 tackles.  Now there's a man making up for lost time. Expect him back in the seniors if he can string together a few more games like that.

King and Flipovic rarely win the ruck contests at VFL level. I have been to 3 games and watched 2 on TV. They are both soundly beaten every week I have seen them and from the stats of other games the same applies. Neither one IMO will ever be a good VFL Ruckman let alone at senior level. As you say if Gawn was to go down neither is up to it. We need to recruit a back up Ruckman I will be surprised if either is on the list in 2019.

[Nasher 33,047]

Great to hear Vanders did well. There’s no doubt that if he can stay in one piece, there will be room for him in the senior side. 

The two sides this week kicked a combined 18.38.

[old55 21,211]

I wish we tried JKH as small lock down defender, Neville backup / successor.  He is clean, competitive, agile and a neat kick.  It's his best chance of making it at AFL level. I know we're trying Dion there with some success.

I liked Machaya, clean and competitive.

Flash Gordon - oh boy - horrible.

My thoughts watching the game....

VDB only played the last 3 quarters so his effort is even more meritorious.

The umpiring was fantastic. Hardly noticed them and they let the game flow. Why TF can't we do the same at elite level?

The tackling by the Demons was first class. Really smart. Waited and planned the tackle rather than going in fast and furious and giviong away lots of frees.

Can see why people didn't like Tyson's game. I'm not a great fan but I can see what he was trying to do. He kept trying to break tackles and create play rather than a quick give. A lot of his work didn't come off but a lot did. Got the ball a heap and did some good things. Was a very good game in the conditions. 

JKH very smart in the conditions. Easy BOG.
