Some comments on the latest batch of updates? All I can say is that it appears that No. 22 this year will have more contribution than No. 22 did last year!

Pre-season update: Strauss to Tynan

    Good to hear about Strauss, but I'm not really surprised.

    He's on track.

    Strauss is certainly one of those players who has to lift during the year. Selection for both the NAB Cup and Round 1 will both be difficult this year when one considers that one of our hardest trainers (Magner) is currently still a rookie. I would not like to be selecting the team this year as for the first time in a while we seem to have choice (if these pre-season player reviews are to be believed). The upsdie is that there is no excuse for the Casey Scorpions to do well with some many good players (according to the coaches) who are vying against the top 22 for senior selection!

    Yes, hopefully the Demon players at Casey this year will be striving for a place in the team & not expecting "gift" games or sulking because they got dropped.

    I'm having flash backs to this time last year. so much percevied depth, so many options for starting 22's, but we know how that panned out

    Cant wait until round 1

    Magner to be elevated and play rd 1 at the expense of Trengove who surely will miss the first few weeks of the season.

    I reckon he'll be rewarded for a great summer.

    This from a North supporter on Pedersen:

    "I was interested to read your thoughts on Pederson and share some of mine if you don't mind.
    For me he was under-valued at North; he is a very capable third tall and was certainly a victim of pushing Hansen and Tarrant as tall options (also a reason why Edwards was happy to move to Richmond).
    If you get the chance take a look at North Melbourne v Essendon in 2011, in the second half Pederson's contested marking and work up the ground was a big reason we won that game. Showed some traits that N.Reiwoldt does in terms of work rate and clean marking.
    If he gets a clean run at AFL footy, I see him being a real surprise pick-up for the Demons this season, I'll certainly be watching him with interest."
    This pretty much sums up my thoughts. I reckon Pedersen could be one of the trades of the year. The opposition have to worry about Clark and Dawes, but there's also Pedersen and Howe to contend with.

    Yep, me too. Was just thinking about all those starting 22 for round one posts last year when I read this.

    I hope I'm not kidding myself but we do look to be much better placed this year, don't we????

    Aren't we entitled to nominate a rookie at the start of the year (plus bring omn more to cover long-term injured)?

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
