    Fact is that we had our chance and we failed. It hurts.

    After Daniher we had a shot at rebuilding. We had the draft picks but screwed up recruiting, development, admin and footy.

    We had a window between 2014 and 2016 before GCS and GWS and a number of other rebuilding clubs took over. Sadly we blew it.

    With some good decisions made from here on in we may be an outside chance to play some finals in the next 5 or 6 years, that is unless we have a combination of amazing luck and super management.

    Anytime OD, I guess there has to be some advantages of having teenage kids.

    The future looks bright when the club has 10 to 12 AFL ready players playing for Casey. At this stage we are 15 to 18 players short! If my math serves me right, we are at least 5 yrs away. This depends on good recruitment and development. Something the club has yet to master.

    Having said this, I have confidence in Viney, Taylor and Roos. But Roos is a short term prospect. I hope he leaves a legacy. Even better, Roos heading an academy after he has finished coaching.

    I'm happy Kent is seeing the positives in himself, Hogan JKH, Toumpass, and a few others. But he forgot to mention, Strauss, Blease, Tappscott, Spencer, Fitzy, , Brynes and others. Not to mention the others who are developing who are no guarantee to make it. Harmes, King etc.

    We are way off, but heading in the right direction. It's sad the club is hoping to win 8 games a year in the future, or scrape in the 8, but top 4 or real contenders is 5 years off at least, and I have heard of 5 year plans since the early 80's. 35 yrs later, we are a bottom 4 team.

    What a depressing group of grumpy old men this place has become. It's like walking in to a bar with your new wife and having a group of sad old men tell you all the sob stories of how horrible their divorces were.

    Everybody is so comfortable being miserable that they try to shut down anything that might give them hope. It's become 'cool' to be the most depressed person here.

    I thought it was good to hear Kent saying those things because he's a WA boy and good mates with another WA boy, who happens to be the most important player on our list. That he wants to put it on record is a good thing.

    It was great to hear Kent. Things are positive at the club. I get that. But we are coming so far back from the rest of the pack, in reality things have a long way to go. One year with a great coach, who is doing great things has got us 4 wins out of 16. That's the reality.

    Very rough. He's a not particularly articulate 20 year old footballer just trying to spread a positive message. I know the message is not particularly helpful for those of us who have BTDT, but it's nice to know that some of the young players are optimistic still.

    mate.

    The hope is in these youngsters: Viney, Hogan, Tyson, JKH, Salem, Kent. They've all shown something. Another couple of drafts needed to add to this bunch,

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
