Anyone able to provide a review of the form of some of the Melb boys tonight?

Really keen to hear how Garland, Watts, Maric, Gysberts, Martin, Blease etc fare if they are actually playing...

Aparently, Newton snagged 29 posessions and kicked 4 goals and is in the side for saturday.

How 'bout that?

Let's face it, as much as we've already been driven mad by the tastes of wonder he sometimes deliver and the chewing cardboard at other times, we're all quietly, secretly, happy that he's had a red hot go and is getting a chance.

He is, after all, a Demon, so best of luck to him.

Umm, have you been smoking hashish?

Newton won't be playing tonight if he's playing Saturday...

I wasn't there but received the following message:

Sam Blease played 3 quarters & received a cork thigh, Cheney played well, Paul Johnson played OK and Jack Watts didn't play at all.

Happy Easter

Uhh... no. No hashish here.

I just dropped in a short comment about a player, based on an MFC selection article, which seemed relevant to the thread in terms of both who might be playing and how a player was going.

But yeah, I appreciate your constructive feedback and look forward to further insights.

Yes, but the thread is about what happened in the practise match on Thursday night. You posted about what had happened in the previous practise match on the Saturday. Newton didn't play Thursday night so ....??

Maric - OK Needs to apply self & believe more.

Blease - Quick, nice kick, did I say quick, with a another burst of acceleration as well.

Martin - good with a lot to learn, did some nice things, needs time as a forward to develope.

Cheney - Very good with ball use, good decisions, will turn into a good player as he adjusts to the AFL tempo.

TMac - Smarts, attacking won plenty of the ball & attacked but got sloppy turning the ball over too many times, not normally as erratic, trying to be attacking made some mistakes. Talented.

PJ - Had a good hitout for about 2&half or 3 Qtrs.

Needs miles in legs - 2 - 3 weeks.

No garland

No Watts.

Alls good.

Great ground down there @ twilight atmosphere, for a twilight VFL game.in warm weather.

Hello Mr. Dunbar. Thanks for your report. I just wanted to ask if you watched the game sitting in one of the trees outside the ground and were you disguised as a koala?

No Watts.

I thought the plan was to play him to get his match fitness up, is there something we are missing here?

Is Garland ready for round 3?

Posted

What was the score vs De La Salle ?

While I can't give you the score I can say that Casey won by a few goals. The game was a reasonable hit out for the Casey players with the mood among them a bit sombre because of the viscious attack on their skipper earlier in the week.

The Scorpions face a tough game first up next Saturday night under lights v Geelong. They had a slow start last year and will be keen to win for their skipper.

No, not last week. I was wearing the Goal Post Number last week.

Did you notice me change ends? :)

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
