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

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
