In Hutchy's Herald Sun column yesterday it said that Chris talks about playing games at Casey in a segment called beat the press. He talks about other stuff as well. Not sure who else is with him. This segment usually gets heated so it will be intersting to watch seeing how passionate Chris always is. No doubt they will attack Caro like all them men do. They never say anything to Hutchy. Caro and Damien Barratt cop it.

When Chris was hired I remember thinking, just for a minute or so, that it was a good appointment. He was probably not going to attract too much attention as a coach in other clubs, and he's one of the better performers in the media... All in all, it made sense, but there was not much more to it...

Having watched him on Classified tonight, and having seen how he behaves in the months following his appointment, the more I think hiring him is one of the best ideas we've had in a LONG time...

Think about other clubs who's media personalities are the big four... Coach, Captain, CEO and president... For teams like Collingwood and Carlton, they have the 4 that we all know, and for other clubs, they have maybe two... for some, just one big name as some captains don't do much in the media...

For us we have Paul Gardiner who has ALWAYS held himself well in the media (except for the Daniher sacking/resignation)... We have Dean, who's handling of the media, under such duress, has been excellent, if not spectacular... Neitz was always a quiet captain who let his footy do the talking, and now we get an exciting young guy to adrenalise the place... and we have Chris... Who was sensational tonight... Absolutely sensational.

When I heard he was going on, I thought we were going to be in trouble, but with the solid showing yesterday, he got on the front foot and absolutely smashed the media. He's obviously very proud of the red and blue, and when asked about Freo, almost looked surprised, and disregarded the question almost immediately...

He's no embarrassment... Which I find stunning given the position we're in. We're the worst club in the AFL on and off the field, and this guy seems to spin it as well as anyone could manage...

Hopefully in the future, DB or no DB he will take the focus off the coach somewhat.

Very happy with Connolly at the moment. He even spoke well about the Casey thing, which is going to make some people unhappy to be sure.

I agree DD. It was awesome when Caro kept pressing him about Freo and their culture and he tapped the Melbourne FC insignia on his jacket and said, 'Caro, you see this, its the Melbourne Football Club'.

Awesome.

I enjoyed the Garland/Warnock part especially. I enjoyed watching Warnock helping out Garland during the game, he had obviously decided before the game that that was needed. Get's the nod of approval from me.

What was the Garland/Warnock part?

Just footage and a brief comment by G. Lyon regarding their efforts on Sunday as a positive for the future.

It was just after beat the press. Chuck in Rivers into the defense and we might have a future there afterall, and the good thing is that the gorilla forward is going out of style so most of the weights on our guys will be about right.

Conolls on the BtP was great, you can see he is just so passionate about being part of the team that brings Melbourne out of the dark ages. "See this, it says i am with Melbourne", i love it!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
