Anyone know how the dees fared for Casey?

Yes, if possible, it would be good to have a report. I sure miss the days of "Barry from Beach Road".

    According to their website they have a practice match this Thursday. Round one is not for a couple of weeks yet from the look of it.

    They played on Saturday just passed.

    Sorry but Barry (my father) now resides in Queensland and will be making a comeback in May to report on the Casey Scorpions v Gold Coast game at Labrador in May.

    I couldn't make it to the game because I went to the Melbourne v Hawthorn game and haven't been able to discover much (other than the fact that Michael Newton kicked four goals and the team lost by 12). The Bendigo team was predominantly Essendon players with 2 or 3 Bendigo players who had AFL experience. About 10 Demons also played for Casey.

    If anyone wants a report on the game they'll have to make do with this (Bombers thump Casey) but you'd hardly know that Casey played at all. Skipper Kyle Matthews did not play but suffered an injury when bashed outside a pub (see separate thread).

    All I know is that:

    1. Sam Blease played half a game, did a few good things and 'pulled up well'.

    2. Jack Watts was 'pretty good'.

    Apart from getting more info about Gysberts those two bits of info are as much as I'd hope for.

    Garland not dying would also be the sort of info I'd hope for

    MELBOURNE'S Jack Watts will be missing until at least round four after being put on a modified program by the Demons on his return from a back injury.

    The 2008 No.1 draft selection appeared sharp playing more than half a match on Saturday for Casey Scorpions, but Demons development coach and Scorpions coach Brad Gotch said he was likely to play another two games in the VFL.

    "He's starting to get his touch back, I reckon," Gotch said.

    "It's only his second game back. He played only 50 per cent last week and he played about 60 per cent this week.

    "I thought he contributed pretty well. You'd be hoping that he'd want to step up to 75 or 80 per cent next week and then the week after he will maybe play a full game [in the VFL]." - Watts to stay out

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
