That's good. He certainly has competition for spots this year but i have a lot of time for frosty and reckon he has significant upside. His athleticism, ability to play tall but most of all his pace and ability to run though lines are all super valuable traits in modern footy and our game plan in particular. I would be very surprised if he is not regular in our 22.

Yes completely agree. I love his pace and has a bit of agro about him and have him entrenched in my backline in the best 22.

Still, I'm not super on his kicking ability and worry slightly with him standing next to the Macs and possibly Hunt. None of which are outstanding by foot.

This is why I think Hibberd being fit is vital

I'm fully Melbourne now mate. As a youngster I was Collingwood because of my Dad, then at about 10 or 11 I turned to Geelong when I started to really learn footy and also my Mum was a Cats supporter,

It was just announced that Justin Plapp, the Casey coach, will be coaching the Victorian interstate side this year. Huge upside for Plappy, he has done a great job so far with the club and don't be su

I reckon he is 70% athlete and 30% footballer - if he can get a little more football nous about his work he could be a walk up start.

VitalDread is a Casey official who post on bigfooty a fair bit and this was his run down.

Hannan- Really showed class with the footy and broke the lines open, really has elite speed esp coming from a part time footballer 
Tim Smith: Took some solid marks up forward and kicked 2 goals form memory, played high up the ground 
Maynard: rotated through the midfield and on the wing, did some nice things, still learnign the overall game 
Trengove: just do trengove stuff, nothing special was a class above 
Jetta: Looked really fit after missing out on somany games, took some strong contested marks in defense 
Kent: played a solid game as a midfielder and forward, nothing too special did appear to havehis hammy worked on a bit 
Johnstone: hard running midfielder that hassome class with the ball 
McKenna: didn't spot too much of patty throughout the game
Pederson: used in the ruck and down in defense and had a solid hitout, nothing overall special from him just classic pedo game 
Kennedy: took the game on when he had the ball and was a spark of forward, though he did drift in and out of the game
Hulett: Didn't notice much of Hulett, kicked 2 goals i think

Sorry fellas, wasn't able to attend this one as I was at a "Before the Game" Function with Kevin Sheedy and Rex Hunt last night before todays JLT game at my home town of Moe.

As for the no mention of Keilty, Dec hurt his ankle during the week. It's nothing serious as he trained Friday morning but they felt it best they rest him for the game.

As for Joel I'm not sure.

I suspect we'll know much more after the practice game against Port next weekend.  It's good to see that we had plenty of players who were fit to play in the intra club, and getting some run into the legs of guys like Kent and Jetta can only be a good thing.

Random question, are Casey being that they're now the Casey Demons changing to the red and blue MFC strip with Casey sponsors?

Hows Dec traveling mate? Really hope he bangs the door down at Casey because I think his upside is huge and from watching him he would already be one of the best intercept marks we have at the club.

I also think Oscar is still so far off that I want Dec putting pressure on at Casey for a spot in the back half.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
