That's a strong and experienced Hawks team.  A win will set Casey's season up really well, and speak volumes about Melbourne's depth.

No Fitzy for Box Hill which is a shame.

Should be about 15 Melbourne listed players tomorrow night, so hoping for a win!

Am I right that vanders will be making his Casey debut?

 

Off the MFC website titled, "No Time frame for Lumumba"

In better news for Melbourne, utility Aaron vandenBerg is set to play this weekend for Casey, after missing the past five rounds with an ankle injury.

“Vanders is going to play VFL this week against Box Hill. He’s trained really well the past few weeks and he’s rehabbed that ankle really well and he’s looking forward to playing,” Misson said.

That's my recollection also.  Fairly certain he came straight into the Melbourne seniors at the start of last year, and has played all his games at that level.

Not a bad team for Casey this week. of the 15 MFC players named in the team only 4 ( Hulett, Weideman, Max King and Smith) have not had first team experience.

They're gonna miss ANB down there. 30 touches and probably a goal gone from the side. Hopefully Vanders can walk straight in and dominate for Casey as he has for Melbourne in the past and they push Salem into the midfield for a fair chunk of the game to get his hands on the ball.

Wow, O'Rourke crossing from gws to Hawthorn has done wonders for his career. I hope he is enjoying the noodle box at Box Hill....

We may have burnt a pick selecting Toumpas at 4, but O'Rourke has to be the biggest bust of the 2012 draft.

O'Rourke was greedy by choosing the Hawks.  He thought he would rock up there and win a flag, yet he chose a side at the peak of it's powers and he can't get a run.  He would have been much better going to a middle of the road club, like the Saints for example, where he would have been given far more opportunities.  

Instead he is languishing in the reserves and his football career is at a stand still.

O'Rourke, Toumpas, Morton, Aish and Kane Lucas could all be the same player.

The only thing is it didn't matter a bit to GWS, they had a whole bunch more first round picks to get right or wrong...it was a numbers game for them they were going to get something good  but for us it was a very important pick and we got it wrong.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
