KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Trengove's kicking was very good.  His fitness surprised me.  If I didn't know his history I'd say he looked fit enough to pay next week.  Clearly he won't, but he's not far away.  I could see him coming in very soon. 

I did see him sprint in the third close to the boundary on the member's side and his speed was fine.  He certainly didn't look "slow".  It was markedly different to when he looked embarrassingly slow a couple of years back.

    A minor thing, but there was no bandage on Petracca's knee, which I liked.  He has been wearing one at training.

    Perfect timing from Trenners and Tracca today, probably prevented half this board jumping off  a bridge after the Essendrug game

    Cant wait to see them in the seniors, as we saw today we still have too many passengers

    So heartened by the description of Trengove's game. I wonder how far off a full VFL match he is?

    Thank goodness for some excellent news on a glum day.

    The nature of his injury,  I feel sure they will slowly build his game workload to watch for any soreness..  Taking time about now is the right play for Trenners,  because of the injury & the long layoff.  His body needs time at this level to readjust.

     

    We aren't going to win a flag in 2016 so all of us have to be patient.   I seem to recall having a word with a young Schwartz a week or two before his comeback from his 1st knee injury.. told him not to rush his comeback.  he did & we all have felt the results.

    Did Trengove get any midfield time or was it all forward?

    Cheers

    All midfield and usually starting in the centre square.

    How was JKH?

    Seems to have vanished off the face of the earth..

  • Quote

    JKH didn't do much to be honest, not from lack of trying.  He moved around very well and did a lot of leading but never seemed to end up with the ball.

    ProDee might have noticed him getting more of it but tbh I thought he was only average.

    I didn't notice him do much, but I was mainly there for Trengove and Petracca.

    Did Viv Michie play today? I know he had a death in the family and was up in central NSW on Friday.

    Thanks HB. Not surprised he did not play.

    Any reports on how our pair of King's went? Notice they were amongst the goal kickers?

     

    Also any chance Weideman may be pressing for an early debut to help out Hogan? He seems to have done nicely the last two weeks.

    Both Kings looked pretty dangerous up forward. It was difficult to judge their impact in the middle, but based on clearances I'd say they were even with the opposition.  

    One thing that annoyed me with all the Casey forwards was their poor positioning when Casey were heading into the breeze in the 2nd and 4th quarters.  They were always playing from behind and as you'd expect the ball kept dropping short. 

    Had they played in front I've no doubt they would have all picked up at least another goal.

    Must have happened a dozen times.

    Cheers, but you sometimes share a link if my memory serves me correctly ?

    I liked Stretch's game in the 2nd half. Ran hard, got involved and used it pretty well  Got caught holding the ball bad once in the last quarter resulting in a free but then tackled the tackler as he played off the mark and won the ball back straight back which from memory resulted in a goal.

    Was impressed with the King that had the higher number. His taps were very effective and kicked an awesome goal in the last from a severe angle against the wind. I was right behind the kick, how he managed to get it through I don't know. He looked skillful

    Is Round 4 vs the Pies too early for a Tracca debut?

     

  • Quote

    Based on yesterday I reckon 1 game too early.

    R3 - Casey Practice Match 75% Game time

    R4 - Casey - Full Match

    R5 - Melbourne debut v Richmond - Anzac Eve

    I reckon Jack Trengove is a chance to return v the Pies

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
