Featured Replies

Posted

The Casey Demons practice match against Frankston has been moved to Casey Fields on Good Friday 30 March, 2018 at noon.

The club has reappointed defender Jack Hutchins as captain of the Casey Demons heading a leadership group of James Munro, Mitch Gent, Angus Scott, Mitch White and Corey Wagner.

The team sheet:-

Once again the VFL scheduling leaves a lot to be desired.

With 4 emergencies being required in Brisbane, senior players will wait yet another week for some match practice. It could have been played on Sunday or even Monday.

Would love to hear how the VFL schedule is integrated into the senior schedule if at all.

I think the last three words cover it DJ. The fact there was no Casey game last week shows how poorly the reserves competition is organised.

 

The next VFL game occurs after we have played round 3 which means the emergencies will get a run but the flip side is that in a period when the seniors have played 3 games the emergencies (which are those on the cusp of selection) have not had one game in which to display and hone their skills.

The only bit of selection news I have is Keilty's rib pain has become manageable and he'll be playing in the game tomorrow


At least we have the squad from the Casey website:

Nice to have some depth @DubDee

It's a long season and have some players looking over their backs


Out of curiosity has there been discussions in the past about altering the VFL season to be in line with the AFL?

How ridiculous that we are into Round 2 and the VFL is still in practice matches. Surely this is a simple fix??

Agreed!  A very good reason to implement a National AFL Reserves comp!

Bust....

Haha thanks @demon77

Casey 53 v Frankston 14. Quarter time.

best: Brayshaw, Hannan, Balic, JKH, Kent. Actually we look great with not a weak player. Baker and Spargo look good. 

 

More at at half time.

Don't stress mate 

 

Sounds like this game is a flogging. Not the greatest yardstick for next week

  • 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?
