A new thread asreported elsewhere "we also have Wonaeamirri whom played a blinder at Casey over the weekend."

This is excellent news can anyone provide a full report?

I will be thrilled if he comes back into the side sooner rather than later.

    KC from Casey said he played well in the Casey Forum, but doesn't go into much depth.

    Realistically, Evans would have a hard time squeezing into the side when other fringe dwellers in Maric and Nev Jetta have had such great preseasons.

    Agree and we also have Wonaeamirri whom played a blinder at Casey over the weekend.

    I would also love the details of this, cos if it's as good as it sounds it's the best news Ive heard all pre-season!

    I was at the game. Casey played Sandy In a practice match on Sat and yes Aussie was a standout. His tackling and pressure was great and he managed to snag 4 goals. Apart from that there wasnt many standouts as Casey got flogged. Other players to play were Cook, Blease, Mcdonald and Spencer, none of them did much.

    Considering his pre-season and our glaring need for forward pressure I'm wrapped with this news.

    Thanks JRiv.

    This is excellent news. We need forward pressure and I feel he might be the x factor we need.

    Put Maric in the mix and we might just have some thing a bit more varied and interesting.

    I was also at the game, Aussie was quiet in the first half, but scraped off the rust in the second and looked to be getting back to where he should be.

    Blease had some nice touches, practice game and was thinking too far ahead for some of his teammates

    Howe showed again some nice touches, combining with Aussie with him attempting to pack mark and Aussie crumbing

    Cook couple of nice pieces of play

    McDonald, my early call will be alongside Frawley in a year or two, couple of errors but also a couple of good things

    Spencer was Spencer

    Gawn, starting to get some good game time in

    Johnston, bit of grunt in the middle and a couple of howitzer kicks

    Cheers J-Riv. Hopefully this is the start of a blinder from Wonna. Jurrah, Wonna and Maric in the forward line will be good provided they see enough ball.

    Aussie did ok after a quiet first half, it was the VFL, just starting to look good again, I wouldn't say standout...

    Wonaeamirri is comfortably in our best 22

    I wouldn't say comfortably, he has competition in Maric who has has a good pre-season to date. It's good that there is competition for spots too. Jetta is probably another.

    There's no guarantees.

    I saw Aussie about a month ago at the Future Fund function and had a chat with him. He easily looked the best I've seen him in the last three years - very toned and seems to have lost that chubbiness / baby fat that I've seen in previous years. Once his training load is back where the FD want and he's back in the red and blue he's in for a massive year imvho.

    Agree. Its a hole for MFC and we have three fringe players fighting for a spot and their careers.

    while where on the topic of aussie; I happened to bump into dean rioli the other day and he reckons aussie is on of the best back pocketers he has ever seen.

    When fit he's comfortably in our best 22, just talk to anyone in the FD and they'll agree.

    Yeah, I've wondered about Aussie in the BP. He is a great kick. He could get isolated in a marking contest but that didn't seem to worry David Wirrpunda.

    McDonald was drafted as a forward/ruckman, so will be interesting to see how far they develop him as a backman, or whether its being done to get him used

    to expectations at this level before swinging him back forward. I was very pleasantly surprised with his level of comfortableness at the Brisbane game.

    And its great to hear Gawn coming along, albeit slowly. Lets hope he can get 15-18 games at Casey under his belt this year unscathed.

    Compared to any other Casey player on the day he was a standout...

    Firstly thanks for seconding my thoughts on Wona's game. Also Aussie came to us as a back pocket. He played with Norwood seconds in the back pocket. This was the role he got drafted.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
