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: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
