The Yarrawonga Pigeons have signed Brendan Fevola.

Well at least he should get plenty of help finding his way home after a night out.

    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.

    The Casey Scorpions have their first intraclub match for the year on Thursday starting from 6pm at Casey Fields.

    II'll be up on the Gold Coast visiting the folks but anyone interested and in the area who turns up, feel free to post your impressions.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
