Brayshaw could very well be on track to be our first 500 gamer.

Sure could, he looks like he can play until age 46 at least.

    It really is a concern when these professionals are "short of a gallop"

    How is it a concern?

    The players concerned (sorry ...) have been injured and are, yes, "short of a gallop". Which is why they were allowed to play for Casey in the first place.

    Yeah, well, I'm tipping him to be struck down my a mystery ear lobe injury and be forced in to retirement this week.

    Any takers for something in between?

    No, that's silly.

    I read today in tha Hun that Kent's heal injury was caused by a car hitting him on his bicycle over the summer. I thought it was from NAB game. Did anyone else know this?

    Why do we find all manner of off season ways to interrupt our player's development? from natural catastrophes to family deaths at the wrong time in indigenous homelands!

    Then he's done well to be hit by a car whilst riding a bike and only end up with a bruised heel.

    Thanks for all the reports, not internet access all weekend & just read through the 7 pages of reports.

    I think one of JKH or Kent should come into our team (even if a straight swap for Dawes). We were too tall last week vs essendon and didn't use that to our advantage. If it works well, the week after Dawes then comes in for Gawn (or Frost - who i would prefer down back).

    Sorry I accept that the original post did refer to the Melbourne players, I did not realise that these were all injured. Still would have thought that managemnt of their level would have seen them replaced to finish a game.

    Still its only a practice and if we have found out more then all good.

    I think we're always too tall since Roos took over. Would like to see us opt for some speed up forward to feed off Hogan/Pedo/Frost/wheover bringing the pill to ground. Gawn and Dawes never hold their marks anyway.

    The question did not get answered so I will ask this time, where is the Pedobear.

    I don't think the MFC "finds them" as such... unless of course a member of the staff or team was driving the car :lol:

    Surely many on here have played in practice matches before?

    Surely it's not that foreign a concept that you go "ok, had a good half / 3/4 of footy, now fatigue is setting in & thats when injuries happen. Let's just now focus on getting the extra run in our legs & come out unscathed, ready for round 1."

    I'd say that's a popular theme amongst anyone playing in a praccie match, and should be the focus of our players.

    Hands off panic buttons please.

    Also, in regards to Brayshaw, we should all be mindful that a class above at VFL level does not equal a class above at AFL level, or even that a kid is ready to consistently contribute there.

    True, but for his development he'll be far better off at AFL level if he's ready.

    Ollie Wines had ordinary endurance when he was drafted by Port Adelaide, but has managed to play 49 games straight. How much do you think that development will have helped him coming into his third year of football ?

    From a talent and development perspective it makes complete sense to get as many games as possible into him.

    That's ordinary for a mid.

    Petracca did 14.12 at DC and he's not known for his endurance.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
