Trent Zomer (Reserves) - 17 kicks 4 handballs 12 marks 5 goals 8 behinds

I know it was only reserves, but thats some nice numbers.

13 scoring shots.

Maybe he can finally crack a seniors game?

    Can't argue with that. It was very much a snooze and, as you can imagine, difficult to assess the relative performances.

    Good news is that Casey is now in fourth place after coming from a long way down following a thrashing at Sandringham in round 1 and a narrow defeat to Port Melbourne in Round 2.

    FWIW here are some of the pertinent stats from the game(s). I've included Trent Zomer's effort in the reserves - he kicked 5.8!

    Clint Bartram - 17 kicks 12 handballs 4 marks 8 tackles 1 goal 0 behinds

    Daniel Bell - 14 kicks 18 handballs 6 marks 1 goal 1 behind

    Kyle Cheney - 12 kicks 8 handballs 6 marks

    Lynden Dunn - 17 kicks 7 handballs 9 marks 3 goals 2 behinds

    Paul Johnson - 14 kicks 10 handballs 8 marks

    Jordie McKenzie - 9 kicks 8 handballs 4 marks

    Brad Miller - 9 kicks 9 handballs 6 marks 2 goals 3 behinds

    Michael Newton - 13 kicks 8 handballs - 4 marks 7 tackles 4 goals 3 behinds

    Shane Valenti - 7 kicks 8 handballs 1 mark 1 goal 0 behinds

    Matthew Whelan - 5 kicks 13 handballs 1 marks 5 tackles

    I thought PJ was great in the ruck and covered plenty of ground to link up and take contested marks. A few of his possessions were just terrible though, including a couple where he stuffed up a bounce right in front of the crowd, that seems to stick in my mind more than anything else he did all day.

    Dissapointed Jordie didn't get a bit more of the ball, there were a few possessions there that just looked great. He has good pace and foot skills.

    Cheney very strong, has a good set of hands on him, he hits a marking contest with impeccable timing.

    Newton, is working very hard on his second efforts, still can't kick.

    Bartram, worked hard all day, let himself down with his disposal at times.

    Dunn was BoG for me, though I do admit I lost interest after a while so there may have been others that performed better.

    Can't remember seeing Bell, Whelan or Valenti a lot, but then I did tend to float towards the casey forward line more often than not.

    Valenti's figures...? Is he injured or was it a quiet game?

    He played last week in the seniors against Willi. And couldnt get a sniff of it, didnt look anywhere near as desperate to win the footy as Newton did. Its frustrating as obviouslsy he has the ability to boss them at reserves level but doesnt appear willing or able to make the next step up in itensity.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
