Just back from a very pleasant afternoon at the Courg Oval. For the hipsters they have craft beer and for the traditionalists the Coburg sponsors inckude the ETU and the CFMEU.

Game from a Demons viewpoint was scrappy with the on ball strength of Casey finally holding sway against the Coburg Lions. Some of the best play was from the Lions while Casey seemed hard pressed to get the last handball into space.

I watched Weideman closely. For the fist half he played deep forward and was disappointing. Delievry was nothing spectacular but even when he had a one on one marking comp he never really looked like it. Very little leading on hos aprt and often pushed under the ball.

In the second half he was on the ball where he got a few kicks. More worrying was his missed marks in the mid field. On these occasions and in particular one midway through the last quarter he had position and hands to the ball in a small pack but could not hold on. He's not coming back soon.

Hulett if anything was more impressive with a little more bulk and a seemingly better ability to be in the right place for the ball.

I watched for Stretch in hope of seeing some dashing play but it was not obvious.

I'll post some more observations later but all in all a pleasant day that ended with a win.

Thanks to you and to KC too for sharing your observations.

Disappointing words re the Weed - clearly he has lost all confidence and needs a prolonged time at Casey - Jesse returning soon will help his cause.

Also disappointing that Billy Stretch is also not making an impact.  Has he been asked to play a different rôle, which has hampered his confidence too?  I had thought it would be only a matter of a short time before he was recalled.

    Is Weed the next Lucas Cook?

    We cant afford for that to happen, especially when another high pick, Brayshaw, has huge question marks over his health.

    The Weid's struggles are the downside to 'getting games into the kids'. He wasn't ready and when he needed some time away from the seniors, he didn't get it.

    Just to clarify Stretch did not stand out to me and I was expecting some good run and carry a la Hunt. That is not to say that he was not a useful close in player which I missed in the scrum of the players surrounding the pack.

    Ben K muscled his way around the ball but the game really lacked stand out break away play on the part of the Demons.

    Mitch King took a few strong marks.

    Even in his first game, Weed showed that he is a far more natural footballer than Cook did in his whole "career", if one could call it that.

    As TPF39 has said, unfortunately he has been played in more games and for longer that he otherwise would have this year due to injuries (and other problems) with Hogan, Max and Spencer.  

    I hope that he can regain his confidence,  and build a body over the off season and come back far more ready to play a bigger role in 2018.

    47 possessions and 8 tackles for JKH according to Twitter, not a bad day out

    Yeah, but race upstairs and blow the siren. The beach (on Naxos) awaits. I need to see the stats, partic. Liam's and Trenners.

    I went to Greece last year. Went to Naxos, Paros, Mykonos ....... and the one with all the housewives.... Domestos.

    Mitch White was 41. 

    JKH got it a lot but didn't look like 47 to me. I'd go with 27. He was busy but not all that damaging. Good game though.

    Thanks KC and all other posters, it's always good to get a hard fought win away from home, sounds like JKH & Ben Ken  had great games. Go Casey!!!

    Which is why I'd play him in defence.

    A good idea i think. He will be a player, of that i have no doubt. But he way down on confidence it would seem. One of his strengths as a junior was attacking the ball in the air and crunching packs. Playing at CHB for a while in the VFL will enable him to attack the ball in the air without the pressure of having to clunk the mark. And his KP would be to negate the opposition forward which if he can do might build his confidence. 

    It is cliche but none the less true for being so (which i guess is why it is a cliche!) but key position forwards take time, even the high draft picks. Look at Patton, Boyd, McMartin, Moore etc, etc. Hogan is a total outlier. Plenty of time for Weed to come good. We may not even see hi play regular senior footy for a couple of seasons. Which is fine. Pedo is good insurance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
