Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but what an inspirational story from one of our Casey boys.

Kyle Matthews Fights Back To Star

Now THAT's what I call ticker ...

Absolutely, I've said this before, we should rookie him!

He IS THE sort you want around our club and really deserves at least One AFL Game in his life !!!

He may turn out to be Much much more than that anyway. He's an inspiration to have around any AFL draftee, & club...

Saw the story. Humans are amazing creatures, eh?

So vulnerable, and so resilient.

That story really got to me for some reason.

I would love to see some of that sort of spirit around the club. Perhaps it would show some of the more talented less committed how it should be done.

Yes, a great story and inspirational

And he wasn't Captain of the Scorps before the assault for nothing either

Nice story but where's the editor?

Kyle turns into someone called "Williams" in the middle of the story.

Annoying.

Agree, the title could do with a bit of a makeover too.

Good luck to him but drafting him off the back of a handful of games after that is insanity.

Hooray for romance and sentiment but there's precious little place for it in this game.

Yeah, but he might add something to the team as a desperado ball-magnet small forward/mid. We have more than enough "silk" in the midfield, but he would add a heap of in-and-under never-say-die grunt to the mix, which is what we need more of.

Maybe at his best, but he's played one senior match in two seasons. No slight on him at all but the profile of him in the paper shows he's still doing it bloody tough.

Yep. I think his comeback is a great story - I really mean that - but I don't think we should draft him this year.

    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
