    Thanks for taking the time to keep us posted KC it is really appreciated

    Look forward to your always excellent reports of the match

    I do really like your report of events flavoured with just a touch of your opinion.

    Your observations are rarely contradicted so I feel I learn more about the squad than from many others posters.

    Will obviously be interested in your appraisal of Watts Jurrah and the other individual contributions.

    I think others have stated the importance of the basis of that side our high draft picks as the future team

    It is certainly going to be interesting how the "ones" go and how we are able to use the scorps as development of the squad.

    GO DEES

    Watts 20 disposals, 4 goals. Looks like he took being dropped in the right way, too good to languish in VFL, should be back in the seniors.

    Next week:

    IN: Watts & Jurrah (as sub)

    OUT: Dunn & whoever doesn't play their role this week

    I'd love to see Petterd, Blease and Bennel playing well back in the senior team, but want to see them playing consistently in the bests at Casey. All 3 have potential to be very good AFL players, but their deficiencies are holding them back. Let's hope these 3 develop and come on asap!

    Maybe gysberts needs to learn how to protect himself better. Maybe he has crap awareness and never braces for bumps and crashes well...

    So will Wojinski be suspended for this? What about the guy who hit Gys?

    Can anyone remember the last time someone was suspended after playing against Melbourne (Casey in this case)? I'm struggling to remember one in the past year.

    No one doubts Watts can play. Keen to know how many 1%ers to go with the goals and possessions.

    Watts actually does a lot off the ball. If you look at pack marking situations, he's often the guy putting on blocks and shoving opponents out of the way. The problem is that we need him to be the one taking the mark. The big problem with his game is his tackling and repeat efforts. Generally if he's knocked out of the contest he falls over and that's the end of it. He needs to be back up and into them over and over again.

    Any chance of considering the facts of what happened? Hmmm?

    Doubt JUrrah would be close to selection given its his first game back. Plus he is still to deal with the interruptions of the forthcoming trial.

    Not good that we have not heard Petterd being prominent from KC and others.

    It will be interesting to see if Watts contested more today or relied on skill to get through at this level.

    I'd rather give Watts another week or 2 at Casey.

    He really needs to earn his promotion to the senior team, moreso than others, in my book.

    I don't know details, but a jaw doesn't break on it's own. It happens with high contact. If he's hit someone high with enough force to break their jaw I would think that it's a slam dunk that he'd be reported for it.

    A. His head wasnt over the ball when it happened

    B. i said "maybe", dnt see how its having a go at him, simply identifying a possible weakspot in his game

    C. U really think its "bad luck" that the same players keep getting constant injuries? Yeah ok mate

    U really make unconstructive posts sometimes boss, please think before posting

    Garry Lyon (who is commentating the game today for MMM and has been watching the Scorps) said that Watts would not be back next week based on todays game - stats looks good but it wasn't overly impressive.

    Wow.

    He constantly criticizes my posts with no grounds or construction to the conversation. Needed to be said. Im at the game and saw what happened.

    Point taken I just don't see how you can prepare for injuries like broken jaws. Maybe Viney should take note as well. Maybe also you could inform the rest of us peasents about what acually happened.

    As was said, how about we wait until someone who actually saw the incident can fill in the details. A broken jaw does not necessarily mean a high tackle... it could be a hip making contact in a contested ball situation, could be an attempt smother gone wrong, it could be any number of things... so why immediately assume it should be a reportable offence?

    Crap!!! Viney & the Gys broken jaws.

    I will be [censored] if we cant get Viney with our second round pick. Especially if we finish in the bottom three!

    We will stitch up GWS down the track if they make us use our first pick...

    Vineys was fair, first game and a crude bump. Was hard to avoid.

    Gysberts on the other hand i noticed dosnt seem to brace the best for oncomming collision. Not sure of he sees them coming or not.

    I agree. Having been dropped, in the absence of a disaster in the ones, I think you need to earn back your place with a couple of 'best' performances in the twos. Consistency of effort needs to be demonstrated, I think.

    P.s. it's a contact sport and broken jaws are always a possibility. I don' t think our injury list is any worse than a numb of other teams. This season we at last have some depth from which to choose.

    The report on the AFL website described it as a "fair bump"...

    I'm going by the report on this thread that says Wojinski laid him out with a bump.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
