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.

    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

    • 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.
