Gold Coast v Casey

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Definitely a goal to Jack Watts in the last quarter. He did it tough in the first half when he struggled and messed up a couple of kicks which should have been goals but he came back well when he showed some great composure kicking a vital goal and also having a hand in another. Late in the quarter when pressed up against the boundary line on the wing he didn't panic but took his time and gave off a nice goal.

My pick for best player was Kyle Cheney who was rock solid in defence. Brad Miller was played down back early and was moved up forward where he really worked his way into the game and was a major factor in the end. Jordan Gysberts is a classy user of the ball and PJ and T Mac were both good. Macreadie and McGough were good players for the Scorps and acting captain James Wall was steady.

Kyle Matthews is still undergoing rehab and might not get back on the field until next year.

KC's post has been amended to include official best players and the correct goalkickers.

It was hard to pick up player numbers and that was made worse by virtue of the fact that the Footy Record never made it up to the Gold Coast. Still, I worked out that Nathan Ablett is going to struggle to play AFL again and David Swallow and Brandon Matera are footballers of the future.

Finally, it was great to catch up with a few of the Queensland Demons and some Victorians up here like Redleg and KC (along with his folks Barry & Mavis who have migrated up here). I'm tempted to come up here later in the year when the Dees play Brizvegas. Now to watch the replay of the Melbourne game ...

    The presence of a few AFL listed players did not help a disappointing Scorpions Reserves who folded in a disappointing last half against the Werribee Tigers at Casey Fields today.

    Good to see... did anyone catch the game? Is Wonna a chance for Casey 1's next week?

    Thanks for the reports KC, WJ and Vagg.

    Does anyone think if Gysberts will be close v Dogs ?

    I had a chat to him on Saturday at Etihad, seems to think he will be on the G playing against the eagles, so you would hope he played Casey 1's next week

    I'd very much doubt it.

    I'd very much doubt it.

    I'm thinking that if it wasn't for Scully, Trengove, McKenzie and Bail playing so games this year then Gysberts would be pushing hard. He's been an emergency a couple of times so the FD obviously rate him and going by reports from Casey he's been performing well.

    Just a matter of time

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
