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 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

    He's same poster from bigfooty who supplied vision from last week's game and a Doggies fan.

    Sounds like he liked the games of Hannan and Johnstone the most and that none of the rest are really going to challenge other than the usuals - Kent, Jetta and Pedo.

    No mention of Declan Keily?

    I think Frost has hurt his toe again. It was reported last week.

    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.

    ... or Joel Smith?

    From Goodwin's post game press conference it sounded like he was injured/rested from the game and is in the mix for round 1. Apparently he will play in the Casey game next week.

    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.

    • 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?
