Fine... Soft Jobe Watsons? Well he's an effing ch*@t

Edited by Danelska

Harrison Petty seems to be coming along nicely if today's reports are anything to go with.

 

Went down and had look. Must say not a bad game and was above a hell of a lot AFL games seen this year. Just a note on a couple players.

Viney. Bring him straight back to the seniors. Knows what to do with the ball and positions himself well. Box hill were driving him hard especially in the last quarter but it didn't bother him.

Garlett. Played better the longer the game went. Would consider him for next week.

Hunt. Fumbled badly early on but again got better the longr the game went.

T. Smith. Thaught he was close to our best player. Really strong marking.

Wagner. He was okay. His brother young pony tail wagner was impressive.

Frost. Was serviceable 

Balic. played fairly well.

Bugg. Ho hum.

Great to hear Viney get through unscathed and for Tim Smith to be playing well.  The bloke would be on the cusp of selection, but when you've won three in a row and done it well it's pretty hard to crack the side.  Hopefully we keeps it up so he's ready to come in when needed.

Thanks all for your reports

Is JV an automatic recall next week (?for Tyson)?

And were Bull to play sometime soon what would be his rôle?

Of course Jack Viney is an automaton inclusion. He is the captain.

I doubt it comes at the exclusion of Tyson.

Thats a great win.

I really like Tim Smiths game, great to see Baker in the bests and Keilty and Petty doing well down back.

Hunt is falling down the pecking order, needs to get cracking.

I agree Earl "THE DUKE" Spalding was a very underrated Melbourne CHB, CHF who for some totally bizarre reason ended up at Carltank

Who was the brainiac who authorized that move!!???

And don't care how many possesions Billy Stretch gets, I don't believe he is up to the transition to AFL 

Thoughts??

Stretch got a bit of the ball and like others fumbled a bit and wasn't the cleanest disposer of the pill.

Against a rampaging Box Hill, Casey once again managed to show why they are so hard to beat at home, with the inclusion of some much needed AFL talent this week. Box Hill pushed numerous times but Casey defended strongly and ran the game out to finish on top for a great weekend for the Melbourne Football Club. Here was my take for the individual players. 

 

Viney - Played probably about 70% game time. Was tagged hard whenever he stepped onto the ground but was just a class above. As long as he pulled up okay it will be great to see the Co-Captain back playing AFL next week.

Bugg - Solid. Popped up a few times to kick some goals, but nothing spectacular. 

Stretch- His best game this year. 31 touches and unlike previous weeks actually did a lot with the ball.

Frost - The 3 tall defenders were great all game and Frosty was very solid. Couple of nice grabs and spoils and dashes from the back half.

Pedo - Pretty decent game, although probably should've held a few more marks.

Hunt - Got better as the game opened up but made a lot of mistakes, struggling for form a bit at the moment.

JKH - Hasn't been getting the ball this season as much as he used to but he played predominately forward today and was good.

Garlett - His best game at VFL level. Lively up forward and through the midfield. Set up a few goals from some nice kicking.

Johnstone - Is playing defence and I didn't really notice him, but the Coach gave him some nice praise after the game.

T.Smith - Was best on ground behind Stretch for mine. Took some impressive marks, including a great screamer on the wing and was great up forward.

J . Wagner - Solid again. Used mostly off half back and used the ball well.

J . Smith - Really good in the air today which he wasn't against Geelong, good game.

Keilty - Hopefully today spurs Dec into some form because he was very good. Got to a lot of contests with some good spoils and did well when the ball hit the deck, just needs to hang onto a couple more marks to take his game to the next level.

Filipovic- Pretty good in the ruck against some big Hawks boys, still developing. 

Balic - First game back after about 3 weeks and was pretty good without being great.

Petty - Very good in defence today, took a couple of really strong marks.

Baker - Continuing on from his strong start to the season.

 

Today was a great, high level game of football and with the Seniors in some good form at the moment hopefully the players down at Casey can keep up with them and be knocking on the door.

RPC (Royal Parade Cheaters) turned him into a better footballer post Demons. Surrounded him with better players therefore limiting his deficiencies whilst maximising his strengths.

Call it as I see it. Makes too many dumb mistakes but then again maybe I am already sold on the issue.

Pretty close to the dumbest footballer going around. 


What an effort from Casey today; a strong contingent of AFL level players plus all the Casey boys pulled their weight. It was probably the best VFL match I've ever seen against a very strong Box Hill side..

I bought a Casey Demons beanie at the end of the game out of respect.

PS I kept looking up at the balcony wondering which guy up there was Drunkn167.

With Stretch, i'm interested in whether or not he has quickened up his decision making/mind set demeanor, which, to my mind would mean more spontaneous actions. Was this there today?

Perfect @Drunkn167 and not an over emotive sentence or player put down to be seen, must know the player(s) well ?

Lol, of course you doubt it. 

I’ll remember this post.

 

It seems to me, from a distance, that having Jade Rawlings at Casey is working really well. It looks like time at Casey isn’t a punishment but an opportunity to refresh, gain confidence and work on skills that may be deficient - as it should be.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
