Unfortunately, this is the development team.

Yes ... apparently there was a mix up and the crew was only there to film the afternoon game (the main game was played first at 11.00am).

KC did we beat both Willi and Port?

[Whispering_Jack 29,926]

Tough day at the office from KC. It was Port last week, Willi this week.

[Whispering_Jack 29,926]

After a slow start, it looks like the Demons hit their straps at the end of the game with a 7 goal to 1 final quarter.

From afl.com.au ~

Midfielder Dom Tyson accumulated 24 possessions, 16 inside 50s and kicked two goals in the Demons' 36-point win.

Casey coach Justin Plapp told AFL.com.au that Tyson "performed really strongly" in his third game back from a knee injury.

"He's had a delayed start because of injury … so he's going through the process of building time and we were really happy with his performance," Plapp said.

Ruckman Jake Spencer (28 hit-outs, 10 disposals) and Dean Kent (20 disposals) were other notable standouts in the VFL practice match win.

Strange scheduling for a practice game. Think you would do it tomorrow to allow for the emergencies in the senior team to play.

[martin 727]

Any reports on Tyson,Hibberd,Kent,Frost,Kennedy etc?

[whatwhat say what 22,731]

And Keilty reports too please.

Losing Smith we are short down back - a third tall defensive option would change our match-ups quite significantly.

Edit: was it when Smith went off in the first that the Saints got their run on?

Yes it was around that time. It seemed to take us a little while to settle again. Smith was playing well I thought.

I wasn't at the game but Keilty played forward, although he didn't kick a goal he did well apparently. He has played forward the last 2 pre season games because the coaches had the belief that if he worked on his forward/ruck role they could find a spot for him in the seniors.

But since they know he can play down back, I wonder if that'll change now they are lacking defensive depth in Garland and Smith?

[whatwhat say what 22,731]

Would make sense

No, they were already running all over us and Smith's injury just added to the despair we were all feeling at that time. 

[What 18,810]

Did Sam Frost play?  We need him up and running, although he wont be desperately needed vs the Blues

[The team we love 416]

Any reports on the best at Casey Demons?

[martin 727]

Really keen to know if Hibberd and/or Frost played. With Smith & Vince likely gone defensive options dwindling.

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

Just bumping this to see if anyone whatsoever saw or heard anything from this match?? Would love to know who if Wagner is ready to go for Smith and who might come in for Bernard who may well have a week off courtesy of the MRP!!

 

[martin 727]

Did this game actually occur or some sort of 'mirage'? Surely we'll get details soon with so many players in contention for senior selection.

[Deestar9 1,609]

Dom Tyson....24 possessions ....16 inside 50's & 2 goals in a very strong performance....Kent 20 possessions & Specer 20 hit outs ....(off AFL website)

Thanks for that but can't seem to find it? Any mention of Frost?

[Melon22 174]

Frost didn't line up with Bugg the holdover for the AFL game, the only Demon listed player in the back-line for Casey was Pat McKenna who didn't do to bad and was tidy with his disposal.  Casey struggled in the first 3 quarters before the AFL listed players dominated the last quarter, Tyson ran the game out very well and probably had 10 disposals & 2 goals in the last quarter alone.   Kielty spent the whole game in the forward line and was largely ineffectual.

Brief wrap-up on the AFL site - 'Around the State Leagues' in the Don't Miss section. Not much else to add/no mention of Frost.
