Had trouble getting s signal today, so had to wait till I got home.

Casey 12 15 87 to Box Hill 4 8 32

Melbourne listed players participating were :- 

Frost -  Solid in defence and in the air.  Would love to see him in our best 22, but cannot see whose place he would take. Provides really good run and carry from defence.

Jetta - Solid as usual, as we would expect.  Provides plenty of attacking opportunities and blankets his opposition.

Harmes - Played really well.  Took some great marks and kicked at least one goal.  Provided plenty of run.

Tyson - Played a really good link up role and set up several attacking opportunities.  Ready for round one.

Tim Smith -  Improved as the game went on and was more involved in the game than last week.  Starting to find some form. Still a way off though.

Garlett - Limited opportunities, but will be better for the run.  Even spent some time in the midfield with Jetta.

Kent - Played well, but missed out on kicking multiple goals.  Using his body well in contests and starting to see his speed.

Joel Smith - Did some good things in defence, but didn't see a great deal of him.  Looking forward to him getting some more game time and recapturing the early season form he showed last year.

Weideman - Kicked 2 goals and took some good marks.  Had quite a bit of game time on the ball and I was impressed with his tap work.  Competed well.

 

Number 68 (for Whispering Jack) was Kieran Byers - a 203 com 20 or 21 years of age.

I saw a team sheet that someone had and had to look him up.  Really impressed me with his ruck work and follow up and uses his body quite well for one so young.  One to watch I would have thought.

None of our young players played today - Spargo, Balic, Petty. King, Filopovic, Keilty (injured ribs), JKH, Baker or Johnstone.

Casey Demons dominated the game today in hot conditions.

Thanks for the report!

The Weideman on the ball is an interesting development.  If he can add that to his game it'll be a huge bonus for him getting a crack at the seniors later in the year.

A good hit out for the boys. I was surprised by the small attendance, saw probably more Box Hill supporters than Melbourne/Casey.

The wind was a big factor today and turned it into a tough and  scrambly contest. Casey proved too good at clearing away from these clinches and never looked like being beaten. They scored a lot of behinds though..

It would have been a hard day at the office for the forwards and none of them really shone. Harmes showed he is now well and truly a class above at this level and Tyson got his share of possessions but, gee, he is a turnover king. I would have loved a dollar for every turnover, would have paid my petrol back to Box Hill.

Jetta and Frost were fantastic down back, Jeffy always thereabouts, Kent was bullocking and won a lot of the ball, Joel Smith was good, King was a good ruckman, though I'd like to see him take a few grabs, and Weidemann did his best work in the ruck. 

Tim Smith looks a long way off the pace. 

The egg and bacon roll was A1.

Dear Dieter.  Unfortunately Mitch King did  not play today - he was sitting in the stands.

The number 68 ruckman was Kieran Byers 203 cm 21 year old.  Must be on Casey's list.

 I was like you and very impressed by him.  One to keep an eye on.

Aha. Thanks for the info. Do you recall we had a Gary Byers played for the Dees in 1961. He killed John Nicholls in the last home and away game. We played Carlton again in the first Semi. This time Nicholls dominated...

Interesting?

I guess it's interesting that you see what you want to see. In the second quarter he kicked straight to a Box Hill player and I guess it brought my latent disappointment at turnovers to a head. Tyson is quite often the guy who gives it away...

He is a ball magnet though. If he could overcome that capacity to waste he'd be a superstar.

Corey Wagner is most definitely lining up with Casey this year and has played the last two practice games.  I thought he had been quite impressive - particularly last week.  He has no trouble finding the ball.  I think he has been playing on ball or half back.

1961 is a little bit before my time 'dieter'.  My first memories of the football are from 1964 (when I was 9) and watching the GF in standing room.

 

I was at cricket practice. I was 14, listening on a transistor, then running in to bowl a thousand miles an hour thunderball. I bowled faster than Ray Gabelich that day.

How is Kenty going? Like his aggression and speed. Tim Smith - above VFL standard or struggling?

Tyson, Jetta and Garlett  glad to see them playing. Rapt in Tyson's game today. He will be looking for a big year.

I hope you’re information is correct but he’s not on the list of ins and outs on the VFL website:

CASEY DEMONS

In: Ben Campbell (Nilma-Darnum) Riley D’Arcy (Dandenong Stingrays) Colin Garland (Melbourne) Jack Hudson (Gippsland Power) Jay Lockhart (North Launceston) Ryan Morrison (Noble Park) Julian Patterson (Gippsland Power) Kyle Stainthorpe (Eastern Ranges) Mitch White (Melbourne) Ali Zijai (Dandenong Stingrays)

Out: Kieren Byers Will Collis Mitch Cox Aloysio Ferreira (Frankston) Bayley Fritsch (Melbourne) Jake Gains Nathan Gardiner (Frankston) Lachlan Gill-Renouf (Frankston) Ben Giobbi Dylan Gordon (Noble Park) Brenton Hillard (Frankston) Perry Lewis-Smith (Frankston) Jake Lovett (Frankston) Todd Vander Haar Yilber Zijai (Frankston)

Kieran Byers who apparently played yesterday is also shown as an out and I’m also surprised that Dylan Gordon has left the club.

I believe that Corey Wagner is playing with Casey, though I had no idea what he looks like.

At last week's practice match I had to ask some non participating Casey players sitting in the stand who was the blonde haired player, with the hair bun - as he seemed to be getting the ball on a regular basis.  They told me it was Wags!

I also believe that Dylan Gordon has also played in the last two practice games.  I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure it was him - having seen him play quite a bit last year. 

However Whispering Jack seems to have greater knowledge of Casey Demons happenings than I.

I bought Gary's house three or four years ago and met him to go over a few things. His career was definitely before my time, but he is still very much a proud Demon. He saw a demon sticker on my car and we chatted for an hour or so about the Demons and where they were headed. Things were a lot more gloomy back then. Seemed to be a ripping bloke.

He actually played  in 1962 and the first game of 1963. I thought my memory was out by a year...

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
