I think we'll need to wait for real opposition before determining the true form of any Melbourne listed players vying for a spot in the 22.

Obvious? Sure.

But I hope posters don't get too excited by numbers etc from this game. 

Agreed. But it's good to see them really put away opposition. I want that ruthless edge in the senior team.

It was one of the better days at Casey today, light wind, good conditions and a lot of MFC on display.  Here are my observations of the Demons:   Kent:  He was clean, fast, kicked well, da

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

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.

Poster on Bigfooty reporting that Rawlings was having a chat with Brayshaw at the break trying to give him a lift. Said that Gus was playing okay but looking a bit dejected.

Have watched Gus closely at a few VFL games and he always wears a serious face on the bench. A big contrast to say JKH who is full of infectious enthusiasm when on the bench. Not sure there is anything to read into it but I hope Gus does enjoy his footy.

Went down the road for a look. It is hard to guage our performances due to the fact that Frankston were shizenhausen.

Brayshaw looked uninterested but played okay.

Frost was good at half back and was short passing the ball alot.

Hannan was average.

Kent good in the second half.

The weed looked good today. Did some ruck work as well.

Baker looked okay but has to learn to control the ball better.

Spargo looks lively but is small.

King looks like he can do a bit in the forward line on top  of rucking.

There wasn't a bad player actually but as i said the opposition were no good.

I'm guessing you didn't notice Balic ?

Final score:  Casey 21.18.144  Frankston  5.3.33

Goals:  Kent 4, Weideman 3, Hannan 2, Scott 2, T.Smith 2, Lefau 2, King 2, Brayshaw 1, Kennedy-Harris 1, Filipovic 1, Dwyer 1.

Thought Frost and Kent were outstanding. Brayshaw tried hard and did some sublime things. Petty, Baker & Spargo all showed promise.

height 194cm  weight 93kg

nice size too 

He doesn't look that big in the photos's does he, he looks like a well balanced Mid.

I had no idea he is that tall.

 

What i see is a balanced skilled kid, with fierce desire. Elite levels in tests.  And just beginning.  He 's a must.

We don't get that many opportunities like this, I think.

i agree. i got those measurements from a newspaper article.

he did get 100cm in the running jump. niknak has the record at 102cm so he must be reasonably tall to do that

Don’t blame him. Playing at that level is beneath him and a waste of his time. If he was at any other AFL club he’d be getting a game this weekend. Unfortunately he is at Melbourne and the selection panel here has proven to make repeated mistakes and ruin development of elite young talent. 

Hopefully he cracks the senior side soon and never has to look back.

Name a young player we’ve ruined by playing in the 2’s for too long in the last decade? Always the opposite.

At training Gus has shown flashes of good Footy but has always regularly made bad turnovers and hasnt shown a lot of zip. He’s missed a lot of games with injuries the last two years. A couple of weeks or even a month or so in the twos won’t hurt him

Same thing occured to me DA. I also wonder if he thinks he is a lot better than he is.

Is there a player remotely close to the fringe that 1) you like? 2) you want to do well?

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
