Six rounds: Six wishes


pitmaster

Recommended Posts

OK, it's down to the last six rounds. Let's put aside thoughts of where we finish. What do we want to see in the rest of the year?

My wish list:

1: Lucas Cook to debut. I'd be interested in hearing from Casey watchers how he's going but as our first draft pick from last year I am keen to see him given a taste or two in what remains of the season. Howe looks like he will be the goods but Cook is especially interesting since he was taken before Jack Darling who has shone out west.

2: Sam Blease to get another crack. One quarter as a sub gave us a cameo from Sammy but not much else. We need leg speed so I hope we get to see what he can offer.

3: Tom McDonald to debut. Hearing good things about this kid but want to see them too.

4: Maxie Gawn to get another go. I don't know how we fit him in without injury but he showed enough to be given some more senior time.

5: Us cope with Etihad. We've got two chances and I want to see us using the ball better than we did earlier this year and knock off this bogey.

6: Jack Watts to have a breakout game. He's gone close a couple of times so I'd like to see him really take a game by the scruff of the neck, combine with Howe and Ricky and Liam and set the forward line on fire. Several goals directly and several goal assists as we show how exciting this young group might be in the years to come.

Your thoghts?

Beat Caltank, Tappy to knock out judd. Sammy Bleeseeee to get another game and for Cooky to get his first game. :)

On what I have seen of Cook, he won't be playing AFL this year. Next year could be a different story with another pre season and some more gym work. If we are out of the finals race I could see McDonald getting a game later on.

5: Us cope with Etihad. We've got two chances and I want to see us using the ball better than we did earlier this year and knock off this bogey.

Just the one chance I think - West Coast.

Win the last 4, for me, and play finals. ES, MCG, MCG, AO.

We have a better record in the AFL at Adelaide Oval than Port ;)

Oh, and (not that I wish harm on other players) Trenners to sling tackle Mitch "were's my neck" Robinson into the turf. HARD!

5. Watts has that game

6. We miss out on finals by %

1 wish. I want to be surprised. So far this year we have won the games we all thought we would and lost the ones we thought we would. Show us some sort of youthful energy and take a scalp. Give us supporters some hope that we aren't going to be ordinary forever.

1. All 'supporters' to take a deep breath

2. Dean Bailey to be given at least another year

3. The team has a crack in the last six games

4. Hope we don't make the Elimination Final as the flak the team would get from the 'supporters' if we lost would be unbearable, "I have waited seven generations to see them play in a fina!!!!!!" etc etc

5. Topics on Demonland not to be based on baseless facts

6. Have the young coffee maker who made my coffee on Level 4 of the Olympic last Sunday to be there every game, it was perfect...one can dream

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
