KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Reckon if 3 players absolutely smash the door down then they'll be in the team next week. If nothing else we need fresh legs next week, today was inexcusable.

    Think we'll find Brayshaw will play at least a couple of games in the two's.

    Agree on the other 4, but it's our defence that needs strengthening. Grimes and Garland anyone?

    can't say grimes and garland really excite me

    the backline were abysmal, but to me the error was the defensive game plan. playing consistently 20m away from your opposite number in some strange version of zone defense and at the same time positioning yourselves so far up the ground was suicide, made worse by the failure to change tactics especially in the 2nd qtr when it became obvious that this structure was failing and being exploited. The backline started to resemble witches hats but still they refused to man up and cover.

    Goal to Hullett 3.3 to 1.0. Brayshaw concussed by the ball hitting him in the face from an ANB kick. 

    ANB really wants to make the seniors

    ANB should come in next week regardless. Kid has been killing it for Casey but can't get a game. 

    Also pleeeeaaaase can we drop Lumumba and bring in an actual defender? Garland, Grimes, it's time to shine!

    Your kidding...Grimes, Garland- defenders....your judgement has not changed in 5 years...they are pathetic defenders,worse than H.

     

    play both Grimes and Garland on the wings.Give Frost a chance at playing FB or CHB.

    Is Brayshaw actually concussed? Off the ground? Done for the day?

    Brayshaw was taken to the rooms... still not sure if he will come back on. Oliver doing quite well. ANB, Michie and Garland getting regular possessions. Windy Hill is windy and wet.

    Does Hulett pinch hit in the ruck?

    No. To be clear not ready for seniors but has some good attributes, one to Essendon, 4.8 to 3.1 19 minutes into the second.

    Brayshaw now out of rooms but still can't walk without support. 

    They need to put him on ice. He's already had a concussion a few weeks ago and not looked the same since. Time to give him a week or two off to get right.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?
