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.

    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.

    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.

    Likewise.

    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

    Mykelti Lefau seems to be going well - any chance that he could be rookied as a Category B as an international player (born in NZ, I believe).

    hope so.

    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

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

    • 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?
