Slim pickings to replace the man who was 2nd in our B&F behind Nathan Jones (YTD)

It must be Stef Martin in this week.

Here is the DEMONS website review of the Casey performers

FORWARD line development coach Paul Satterley runs through the Melbourne-listed players who played for Casey against Sandringham Zebras at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday
Jamie Bennell: - Kicks 6, Handballs 8, Marks 3, Goals 1

Jamie played half-back and showed glimpses of the form that previously won him AFL selection (14 disposals and a goal). He backed his speed and skills to generate some run for Casey. Jamie should take plenty of confidence out of this effort and now build some consistency in coming weeks.

Lucas Cook: - Kicks 8, Handballs 5, Marks 3

Lucas worked hard as a key forward. His leading and movement has improved significantly with his increased fitness. Unlike previous weeks, he did not finish off his work in front of goal, kicking three behinds.

Tom Couch: - Kicks 8, Handballs 6, Marks 2, Tackles 3, Goals 1

Tom was heavily tagged again. He was made to earn every possession. Although kept quiet for most of the game, he stuck to the task and kicked the winning goal when someone had to stand up.

Troy Davis: - Kicks 9, Handballs 6, Marks 5, Tackles 1, Goals 1

Troy played on a very capable and experienced forward in Beau Wilkes, who proved difficult to negate. Troy made some important spoils and continues to improve his disposal efficiency, particularly by foot.

Jordan Gysberts: - Kicks 16, Handballs 7, Marks 1, Tackles 2

In ideal conditions for Jordan, he led the side in hard ball gets (13) and kicked two very good goals. The pleasing aspect was that he worked much better defensively which complimented his game.

Stef Martin: - Kicks 14, Handballs 7, Marks 7, Tackles 1, Goals 2

Playing as a key forward and second ruck, Stef was very physical and hit the packs hard, giving a strong contest in the air and at ground level. Stef's form in recent weeks will help boost his chances for senior selection.

Ricky Petterd: - Kicks 8, Handballs 4, Marks 2, Goals 2

Returning from injury, Ricky was very efficient with the ball and kicked two classy goals. His attack on the ball was a great example to his teammates. More importantly, he pulled up really well and now just has to get his consistency in games and build his match fitness.

Jai Sheahan: - Kicks 6, Handballs 1, Marks 2, Tackles 2

Jai was given time up forward for the first time at VFL level and competed well in the air when needed. A much improved effort on the previous game.

Jake Spencer: - Kicks 3, Handballs 3, Hit outs 29

Jake won 29 hit outs and used the ball well when he had it. His next step is to impose himself more around the ground as he is very capable in the air.

James Strauss: - Kicks 8, Handballs 10, Marks 4, Tackles 4

James improved with each quarter. He reads the game really well and his use of the ball by foot is a real strength. His running is no longer hampered by his previous injury and we can see his confidence growing week by week.

Josh Tynan: - Kicks 14, Handballs 2, Marks 6, Tackles 1

It is very clear that Josh relishes the contested ball both in the air and at ground level. He is another player who is improving form and fitness and just needs to keep doing the basics well.

Leigh Williams: - Kicks 5, Handballs 4, Marks 3, Tackles 1, Goals 1

His return to senior footy is a positive in itself. He works hard, is a very honest player who gives a contest whenever the ball is in his vicinity. Difficult conditions for the forwards, he will be better for the run.

VFL development league

Jack Fitzpatrick: - Kicks 6, Handballs 1, Marks 2, Tackles 3, Hit outs 10, Goals 2

We were pleased to have Jack playing. He was very team orientated, kicked a couple of goals and pulled up really well.

Kelvin Lawrence: - Kicks 5, Handballs 7, Tackles 5, Goals 1

Kelvin kicked a goal, chased and worked hard defensively.

Of course it will be. Let's be honest, does anyone actually believe that Cook will make his debut this week, especially when Martin had such a good game for Casey?

On a side note, good to see Gysberts and Petterd doing a bit.

Would still love to see Couch have a run in the AFL too. Reward for effort.

June 27, 201213 yr

Yeah Couch, give this guy a run.....

It has to happen sooner or later; we've been saying this since Round 1! Maybe Magner will be rested some time soon and Couch will be given a run.

If Cook had kicked a couple on the weekend I think he would have been in line for selection, but playing as a key forward in the VFL, he needs to kick a few there every week before he gets the call up.

Haven't we been talking about this in another thread for days? And Casey player review is in the Casey thread.

A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

CASEY: Frankston

The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

CASEY: Williamstown

The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
