Thanks for the call of the game, living in the scrub its good to read about the A listed and how they are doing.

That is one of the most ridiculous posts I have seen in this site, and there has been some competition 

Why? I'm not the only one who wants him to do well but gets frustrated time and time again by his perverted disposal. An ex AFL player said to me last week that Melbourne need to get rid of Tyson. He's a turnover machine, the guy said.

don't get the player hate;Dom is one of ours and to wish him ill is a bit low.

Haven’t read all the posts but not sure that it is player hate rather than form hate.  

I doubt if any of us want him to fail or hate him; indeed if he finds his best and his disposal improves we will all be happy.

Interesting reaction by JKH to a wayward pass from Garlett. Ball was slightly above JKH’s reach, so he just stopped on the spot, put his arms down and gave Garlett a look of ‘WTF?’

Sounds like a classic Richo dummy spit.

Cant see him staying on the list as he doesn’t have any special tricks which a small player in particular needs.  (And as one can see from my faves list he has been one of mine)

Wow 33 scoring shots to 23 and we win. 

Good sides wine those contests. How often have Melbourne had a lot more scoring shots - even one of the opening games against  Geelong last year - and still been beaten over the last few years?

Tyson 27 disposals and 2 goals not bad for a so called hack.

It's a game of footy, if it was the Catholic church and another priest was done, that's a dagger to the heart, perspective

There are thousands of ex AFL players and I would put little faith on what 99.9% of them say

was a direct reference to Dieter's halleluia.  Just seems a bit mean to one of our players.  Having said that Dieter claims he means nothing by it.

Well done Casey Demons, great to be kicking goals and not points. Thanks KC, drunken67 and all other posters. It’s great to have a bit of luck coming our way.

go Casey........!!!!!!!!!

Go Dee’s..........!!!!!!!!!!

Good coverage, all you guys at the ground. 

Many of us unable to get to the VFL games get very good service. Thanks. 

Great to hear many players are stepping forward. They put pressure on those in the senior side. How long has it been since we can say that. 

Very pleased that Declan K bounced back hard from last week's head knocks. 

Now we all wait to see what tomorrow will bring.

Note ex AFL player

Oskar Baker showed  something today. I hadn’t liked him much previously. Had a standout 3rd quater demonstrating pace skill and vision. Not sure who the midfield coach is but he said Baker was “fxxxkn super” at the huddle.

Petty will be a player has the lot. 

Tyson and Garlett wont be showing the replay to the coaches for a call up.

Yep and again gents...ty

@Wrecker45 If you’ve got time - can you give us a little more about Petty, how he’s been going - strengths etc? Thanks so much.

Siren and a good win to the Demons

PETER JACKSON VFL 2018

Casey Demons 2.1.13 8.2.50 10.5.65 15.8.98

Port Melbourne   2.9.21 4.14.38 8.18.66 10.23.83

10.23

Must be getting goal kicking coaching from St Kilda 

Brendan McCartney and his crew are going to have a field day developing the likes of J Smith, Keilty, Baker, Petty and the like.

The depth of  Melbourne FC will soon be unrivaled.      The lid is OFF.

You have not suffered as many daggers to the heart by Melbourne players - obviously -  as I have. I started barracking for them while watching them lose the 1958 Grand Final - I was always an underdog man - and since 1964, the almost good to very good periods under Northey and Daniher - there was also a pretty good year under Skilton in 1976 when a point kicked by Robert Walls instead of a goal - would have given us a finals berth at a time the Demons were smashing a few sides.

LIke I keep repeating, I have great sympathy for Tyson, I always wish him well, but he's kicked a pass to the opposition way too often for me.

I am glad he played well today, glad for all involved...Though, having said that, I note guys like Wrecker downgrading his performance today. 

Also, I think judging players simply by the number of possessions can be misleading. I'm not typing rocket science here, it's just bloody obvious.

I also felt a little dismayed  when Brian Taylor kept praising Tyson's disposal during the last game Tyson played in the seniors.

And, in good form ot not, players like Tyson, Pederson, Hunt, Garrlet, Stretch, Bugg, Weid and probably a few more I'm forgetting would be walk up starts at probably 60% - 70% of the teams in the AFL.  It's a nice luxury to have to be letting these guys develop in the VFL ready for a call up once they hit their straps again or we get an injury we need to cover.

As you suggest it's a good indication of where we are at as a team at present.

so why when a post said he would be gone by the end of the year you replied 'alelulia'? doesn't sound like someone "who wants him to do well".

For a full time, $400k a year footballer, that we included a pick 2 to recruit, playing against plumbers and electricians. Yeah wow. 

I suppose the term "winning ugly" could be used but it was not that ugly. A great across the team effort. Last quarter was probably Casey's best whereas the game could easily have been finished by Port in the first quarter. 1 goal 8 that could so easily have been 7goals 2 or the like.

Garlett... okay and better towards the back half of the game... did he do enough... maybe ... would be interested in his tackle count.(As an aside he does have positioning sense. Stood deep in the forward pocet when the ball was being kicked from the 70 metre mark on the other pocket. Pack fly about twenty metres out from the goal mouth.. Garlett's opponent moves towards the pack... he stays still quick skewed kick out of the pack.. Garlett marks ... handball over the top and Balic strolls in for an easy goal. Right spot.. right time.. guess that is what makes Jeffy special.)

Bugg... as a forward maybe shaded Garlett. Good mark and goal to get Casey within a few points when Port were on top in the third quarter.

Kept a close eye on Balic and Baker.

Balic.... building ... decent game and could be a prospect. Not as good as his opening game against Coburg.

Baker... very good .. needs to back himself a little more. Quick to give off by hand or the short kick not necessarily to a team mate in a better position. Had a relatively easy shot for goal in the pressure part of the final quarter and missed badly. Keep improving and perhaps next year.

Saw glimpses of Petty.. developing nicely perhaps a shade behind Baker.

Kielty had a strong game.

Port were excellent opposition and while unaligned are a strong unit.

Very nice Burra burger and the local supporters are more one eyed than the Dolphin fans of last week... (think many of them like a drink.)

So you were at the game watching it live, or going on someone else's judgement, which like yours could be clouded by preconceived ideas and influences?

Because until he repents and changes his sinful ways.....

Lighten up, DC, like I've repeatedly said, I like the boy, I instinctively like sinners...

Really enjoyed the game. Port were surprisingly strong even though no AFL players, they should have been well in front at end of 1st qtr.  

Kielty was BOG for me, wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a game some time this season. Baker looks a likely type, maybe won’t get a go this year, but has good speed and reasonable disposal skills. Tyson improved as the game went on and was a key driver in the win. Got caught holding the ball a couple of times and disposal a bit sloppy, but still looked a level above. 

Shout out to the Port nuffies. The abuse they hurled at the umps was pretty ordinary. Suspect the umps could hear the ‘feedback’, fair dinkum, who’d want to be an umpire.
