I was pretty impressed with Troy's work at Box Hill last Saturday,so I thought I'd look up the "Locker Room" to see what comments other people have made.

To my surprise,he seems to have flown under the radar.

I liked his fierce determination when he was once caught out against 3 opponents, and managed to get the ball out of defence against odds. I know he's played back mainly, but could he be tried as a tall inside midfielder?

Is he still a rookie? How tall is he?What's his ball use like?

    He is 19 years old.....192cm.......Is not a rookie.....appears to be coming on as a defender....will play later in the year.....Has played well for Casey except for the week before last when he was beaten by his opponent.....FYI

    Seems to be that "rock of gibraltar" defensive role that Warnock was playing in the VFL last year - but at a very young age. Really good signs, the more backs we have putting pressure on Rivers/Garland/McDonald on to perform, the better.

    Also liked his closing speed in the last quarter on Amos Frank.

    Played well in the pre-season aswell. Barring injury I would expect to see him play some games in the second half of the season. Between Davis, Sheahan and Cook in the VFL, and Tom McDonald in the firsts, we have a few interesting young talls worth keeping an eye on.

    • 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.
