I thought Kent had a great year. started slowly but got better as the year went on. Played mainly forward but let remember he was a ball magnet midfielder for the Colts in the WAFL. To play 15 games a

Anyone have any info on how Kent is progressing? Did he play in the VFL practice game on the weekend? I understand he had some knee issues earlier on in the pre-season but hasn't been named on the injury list for a while. Hope to see him in the senior team soon as he was fast becoming one of my favourites last year and will be a real weapon for us on the half forward line.

I wouldnt rely on Misson to keep us updated on relevant injury information.

He seems to have disappeared into a black hole -- is he mates with Mitch? Maybe sailed off into the west :-(((

Could have been pretty handy Saturday.

Played at Casey on the weekend. I would say that the coaching staff believe he needs more match fitness before a seniors berth. Seems fitness and match practise are a prerequisite of playing in the seniors this year.

Are you surprised?

The team couldn't even run out full games last year. They let the Dogs score 8 goals in 10 minutes for crying out loud! They were absolutely stuffed with 15 minutes left in the fourth. Happened all too often last year.

Not at all.

I agree entirely with the coaching staff requiring that all players can perform for the whole of a game.

I am sure when completely fit Kent will get his chance as will other players gaining fitness at Casey.

We need this kid in the team, he was brilliant as a rookie

Him and Viney will give us a huge boost

Only if they are fit.

Both need a game at Casey next week as a minimum IMO

I don't believe either being rushed back will make us more or less likely to win, i think we need to let them get some game time at casey and make sure they're right for round 3 which is our next real winnable game

They won't rush Kent back. He has to make up a lot of fitness before they'll even look at him. The fact that he had an ongoing issue with his knee that just wouldn't heal will make them more cautious as well.

I think we need to bear in mind that this is only his second year in the AFL. Roos has repeatedly said he won't push the kids into games before they're ready, and this applies equally to our second year players as to the first years. Kent will be a very good player for us one of these days, but it's not going to be in the first half of season 2014.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
