Good luck.

May Geelong fans keep saying "who the [censored] is this guy?'

    No I doubt that Spencer will be playing unless a shock desicion comes in that Weid or Big Max is dropped......I think Jake will get his chance later on in the season though

    I'm a big Pedo fan but you'd have to say he won't feature much in Goody's plans and seems to only be on the list to make up numbers and for depth. It's a shame because I think he can play. He's not a champion but he's certainly not a dud.

    It's a long season

    If Jetta was playing at Casey while other younger and more inexperienced players were getting a game I'd be saying the same thing about him too.

    Jetta was playing for Casey during the JLT series.

    Most commonly uttered phrase in the Casey game threads (and I presume in the crowd too) the last few years

    "This guy should be playing AFL:".   And every time I watched him play I said the exact same thing.

    Give them hell Bull.

    Well we know that he will crash packs and won't be thrown around.

    Will probably put them through the big sticks if he gets the chance as well.

    He also tackles to hurt.

    Seems like a sensible and low risk selection with a fair bit of upside.

    With Hogan and Vandenberg out, Smith's number's come up earlier than most would have anticipated, would love him to grab the opportunity with both hands.

  • Quote

    Out of curiosity, and this is a bit presumptuous, but if he has two big games, how would this impact match selection? Would it be better to play Wiedemann predominantly in the VFL for one more year or alternate both of them?

    If he plays really well, I think it's Vandenberg's spot in the team that is in doubt.

    That obviously depends on how Weideman goes amongst about another gazillion variables. I think the short answer is that if he has two big games they will find a way to keep him in.

    Putting the cart before the horse a bit though!

    He looks like an absolute tank in that video. Can't wait to see how he goes now.

    Thought that was fantastic to see his joy at the news. 

    Go get em Bull.

    4 games in 1975, apparently. You must have the memory of an elephant.

    Kim Smithh was a lean but very good forward. With his long hair and goal kicking prowess was a cult hero at Prahran.

    good on him, seems like a nice guy! but hard. good combo.

    That's what it's all about! Turning dreams into reality. The big Bull can seriously give out a bruise or two! Well deserved mate.

     

    All class from Trengove.  Even as he watches his own dreams evaporate he still finds the time and integrity to encourage teammates.

    Just love Trengrove...so said that injuries have cruelled his career.

    Goodwin has shown his hand.

    He will keep playing Oscar and Weed as long as they keep following instructions. Only way they'll be dropped is if they don't follow team rules or lose fitness or form so egregiously there is no alternative but to drop them. Get games into them.

    Joel Smith. Same deal.

    Tim Smith. Same deal, at least until Hogan is back in. Get games into them, find out what they can do.

    Pedo, Trenners, can get ready for a long season at Casey, and silently pray for a killer run of injuries.

  • Quote

    Finally!! Watching that surprise news from the club was the best feeling all year outside of beating the Saints. Another step towards Finals!

    Stomp on dem Pussys Bull !!

  • Quote

    It will make it interesting if Tim finds his feet in the team over the next couple of weeks and kicks 3 or 4 in each game. Hogan is available and then we have to work out how to accommodate all the riches.

     

    Good luck Tim and give it a real shot.

    YES BULL!!!!! So glad to see the big man get his shot this early in the season! The amount of hard work he has put in over the last 5-6 years has really paid off for him. Really happy for Tim.

    Really happy for the Casey guys getting into the AFL, shows what a great partnership it is.

    How good was that video of him finding out, years of hard work paying off for your dream to finally come true, really makes you proud of the guys watching them

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
