Others have said it before, but Weideman training with Hogan everyday can only help his development

    Newton is a nice addition to those guys. He has been working his way back into game time and form over last 3 weeks. Reckon his numbers will jump soon. 

    As early as today even? ?

    Wow Weidermans becoming a real pillar down at Casey. Pedo is doing a good job in the seniors and also provides a second ruck option but I love the Weids himself has said that he's not in a hurry. 

    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 heft. It turned out to be his dad. Nice fella.

    I asked if he thought Weed jnr would get a game before the end of the year and he said perhaps one near the end just to give him the experience. 

    The weed snr said he and his son were wrapt at how he was being developed and the club in general. Very positive.He also said Trac will be something out of the box.

    38 disposals and 2 goals for Newton is impressive.

    Alex Neal Bullen with another 30 disposals. 

    Amazing depth..

    James Harmes and Benny Kennedy are keeping those two guys out.

    No doubt both deserve a gig, but just no spots at the moment!

    It is very good to see these guys develop but it is great that backup  ruckman play to solid games and his foot seem ok.

    The Dees Development team also won by heaps. 64 million dollar question is why from time to time 3 teams end up with a bye, can't 2 teams play each other. in the WAFL teams play each other 3 times in a season.

    Anyone know Weed's contract time at the mo.....

    This may be your most coherent post yet! And i agree totally. Until they set up an AFL reserves comp the VFL does need to be run to service the AFL.

    Nice interview with Trenners and Jimmy Munro on the Scorps website. Seems the association between the clubs is really harmonious and the various coaches are on the same page - must be great for our development of the younger players and the remediation of those on the outer.

    It would be interesting to know how the son of Bomber's legend Paul Van Der Haar is travelling in the Development team .

    If Viney is out, ANB will be in. Adams will be a big out for the doggies. Hardly have a defence now. 

    Is he out? 

    That's big news if so, what happened?

    Adams having finger surgery this week and will miss a couple of weeks, according to Bulldogs Bigfooty. Check the preview thread.

    Ben Newton is an interesting player. He has played some solid footy for us at AFL level, the query on him being that he needed to find the footy more, perhaps work on his tank.  He has shown a knack for kicking goals.

    Great to see him rack up almost 40 possies today.

    Thanks GD. Modesty prevented me but now that you've said it - hell yeah.:cool:

    Wish I knew how to pick the tattslotto numbers.

    Frosty in defence. Finally.

    I could really get used to battering sides like this.

    Frost is a defender. May even be IN this week and replace Michie.

    Needed to man up on Campbell/Roughhead as resting forwards.

    And backup if Stringer beats Mcdonald... given Lynch would have kicked 10 if the Suns had a midfield.

    (Assume Mcdonald gets Stringer and Garland gets Redpath).

    Briggs kicks his 4th. He is loving life at Casey. Might need Angry at Casey to find out more about him. 19 year old - did a Google search and couldn't find anything. 105 - 18. 

    Will have to do some investigating. Believe he's out of Queensland but not 100% sure.

    Thought he was actually more of a rebounding defender, but he may have other strings to his bow?

    I also think that a successful Casey is important for Weideman's development as well. It wouldn't be much fun playing down at Casey on a cold wintery day, and being starved of opportunities as a key forward.

    As for Newton, I was a bit of a rap for him last year. Endurance seemed to be his biggest knock, but his kicking skills are amongst the best at the club. I think he's got more strings to his bow than Michie, and better disposal than ANB. If Kent's inconsistent form continues, he could get a gig as a half forward.

    I think that Briggs kid played for Cora Lynn at some point. Tried out at Sandy Dragons TAC. I read an article on it the other week.

    • 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?
