I've got no idea about Balic. Where is he playing? Whose role in the senior side would it compare to?

Melksham, ANB, Harmes

    Believe it or not, the Casey FM van is bogged at the Coburg ground. That's why I'm listening to Bob Dylan instead of a call of the game at the moment.

    Sounds like a great day for Weideman and Balic. Two players who are a different type to who we have in the 1sts ar the moment and could develop into handy AFL players. They would add a lot to our team if they keep developing.

    Its way too soon for Weide, but this is exactly what the doctor ordered to get some of those monkeys off his back.

    Now lets see him grow his game from here.

    Just remember, Balic was rated a top 10 prospect in his draft year if it wasn't for his wrist injury..

    A huge talent indeed! Could be a surprise wildcard if given the opportunity..

    Balic took a great mmark but a lot of easy goals. Promising but not yet.

    You've still got to kick them.

    Really hard to judge the effort today as the Demons were on another level by comparison to Coburg.

    To me Coburg lacked key defenders and a few talls. It is for this reason that I marked the Weid down from a goal kicking aspect. He did however lays some good tackles and was constantly involved in the game. If he can do it again next week against Werribee (another unaligned club unfortunately) then he will be knocking on the door.

    Loved Spargo and the group that I call the over 50's (because of their numbers) were not disgraced... Balic, Petty and Baker.

    I saw Gus in tight a few times but cannot say I really noticed his game. JKH and Pederson put on some one quarter clinics (Pedersen in the second and JKH in the third) and were at least serviceable in the others.

    All in all a very pleasant day at Coburg Oval ... and a very nice salad roll for $6.

    I don't think anyone said he wasn't a good VFL level player...but he's not an AFL level forward.

    How the **** do you get bogged in Coburg???

    I don't think they were bogged... rather the truck went down the back of the mound on the wing :)

    yep and did some good stuff

    seems to have a bit of nip in him.

    Hunt did not set the world alight from my observation.

    Had a few chances to run and carry and went the chip kick ... would like to just see him run anyway... even if caught today we would have still won by a  lot.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
