Great little passage of play. Max King pushed off an opponent and took nice overhead mark on the wing. Turned quickly and saw Weed leading to the wing/ flank hotly pursued by his opponent. King delivered a 25-30m low dart pass that Weed took down low at his shins by getting both forearms under it and taking a diving chest mark. Great pass but even getter collect. Weeds showing his skills down low as well as overhead today. Unfortunately the next pass from Weed was a turnover, but after great teamwork from King and Weed.

I watched the last quarter of the pies vfl game and after a nice mark by the weed said to the fella next to me that he'll be pretty special once he bulks up. The fella said he could borrow some of his

It was a  hard game to watch and times as the game lacked any kind of flow, repeat stoppages with little breaks were the theme of the day.  Both teams pushed the half forwards up the ground trying to

Spencer on the siren.....kicks a...goal! 19.11.125 to 2.6.18.  and for you Weiderman fans out there (like myself). It is Weiderman 4.0.24 to the Northern Blues 2.6.18.

One of Frosty's 'up' moves- great collect down low, short and accurate pass over the top of defenders to Casey player's advantage who ran in for a goal.

Is it greedy for us to be hoping that Weideman could really be as good as he is looking like he might be?

 

Greedy? The kid was in the top 10 of the country. I'd be dissapointed if he didn't kick on

Newton shines again!  Collect off a scrambled ball, had a good look for forwards, nice pass to Weed who was contested and the ball went past both untouched and rolled through for a goal. 

Newton is creating a few Laws of his own today.

Newton running, bouncing goal. 11 goals up. 11.6.72 to 0.6.6. 

Weiderman having a blinder in conditions that aren't good for talls.

Fantastic

29 minutes into the third and Dylan Buckley manufactures a goal for the Blues (not sure who kicked it off the ground). We've got in back in our 50 now to try and get that one back.

Not sure what to make of these beltings. Is the competition that lopsided? I can never help but wonder how this affects the development of our seconds players when they play against witches hats.

Doesn't hurt to play in winning sides and get some confidence.

You can only play against the opposition you are drawn against? Dons are 4th. Williamstown are 1st (we lost to them though), Collingwood are 9th, and Frankston are no longer the cellar dwellers that we beat. We are not doing too badly and it's not like we are against bad opposition. Cannot wait until we play some of the bottom teams.

If we beat Sandy easily next week, we have arrived and a serious chance for the flag.

It's a fair point but:

a) low pressure situations allow you to execute game plans exactly as planned,  with success (as long as the coaches enforce their strict adherence and the players aren't allowed to get sloppy); and

b) winning builds comraderie amongst the playing group and winning expectations as well. 

 

These things mean that when a player does play well and eventually goes up he a) knows exactly what to do and exactly how to play the role and b) he expects to keep winning.  He will need to adjust to the pace and pressure,  but that is easier when you are brimming with confidence.

They will get plenty of that as well.

I just love the way we seem to be developing our players now.

Our list is getting so much better each year, with good players not guaranteed a game.

Gee this competition for spots is a great thing

Newton has been very solid the last few weeks and is now dominating.  Another one lining up for a senior game

I guess that is what others said of us over recent years.

You can only beat those who come out to play against you.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
