apart from being annoying a magpie is pretty harmless too

No-one got that?

12th man?

Bill brings a pidgeon into the commentary box, names it "Straya" aka Australia. Sh!ts all over Tony's Julius Marlow's...

Wasn't Birmingham's best efforts, but funny nonetheless.

Anyone see the Northern Blues new jumper? Navy blue with a CFC monogram in the front and a white horizontal sash. The old Bullants are finished.

Same with Box Hill. Their jumper is a Hawks jumper and the Mustangs are gone.

Looks like Casey to follow. The thing is that we're supposed to be located there partly to increase membership numbers but the locals don't really come out in their numbers to support the team unless it's to support someone like Fev. If we're not attracting many people we might as well play out of Toorak Park and be the Prahran Demons.

Caleb Tiller who turned 21 years of age earlier this week and was drafted by Carlton in the 2008 NAB AFL Draft at selection No. 80 from the Murray Bushrangers is said to have signed with Casey this week. He spent last year playing for premiers Cranbourne Eagles in the Casey Cardinia Division of the MPNFL under coach Doug Koop, a former Demon and teammate of Casey coach Brett Lovett.

Standing at 189cm and weighing 75kg, he was regarded as a promising medium-sized forward who has good hands and is a reliable shot for goal with a fierce attack on the football.

KC,

Thanx for your updates, always enjoy them. Can you provide your thoughts (u may already have - if so sorry) on the lack of off season action at Casey? With Lovett being appointed as part time coach and from the outside their seems to be a MFC take over, or is this a case of Casey not having the funds to compete with the VFL big boys.

Also, it has been explained before, what is the ratio of AFL players being able to play for affiliated clubs, such as Casey and the MFC in each game and in finals. Are you concened for your club with the loss of players and lack of recruitment

Cheers

The lack of off season action has been disappointing so far as I'm concerned. The club has lost several seasoned VFL players including its marquee player of 2011 and has made no apparent attempt to replace them. IMO it will leave the club weakened and not really assist Melbourne's cause either because ideally you want the players not in your AFL side to be playing with and against the highest standard players to promote their development. This is important these days as you try to develop complex structures and systems of play. If you're doing this with blokes in your VFL team and half a dozen in the team are well below standard then you're going to have problems implementing your game plan. Given also that clubs often bring players back after injury in the VFL reserves, it's important to have sufficient depth all the way through the VFL affiliate club and that's why I would like to have seen some recruiting to replace those who have left.

On a slightly different note, there's an interesting story in the Dandenong paper about a local junior club linking with the Casey Scorpions to promote and develop junior talent for the club.

Burras in VFL pathway

Sounds like a good initiative but one would also expect the club to do something similar with a club like Cranbourne which is in its own back yard.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    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
