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?

Mr Saty. This conversation started, as I recall, after I posted some comments after the final Practice game at Casey before the start of season, Casey demolished Box Hill.

You made remark that Tyson was among the best players, though I panned his disposal. For the record, I am one of many on this site who's eyeballs oscillate in opposite directions every time the Tyson lad passes to the opposition.

In the end, it's my observation. You have yours. I Can we leave it at that? What is the point of arguing about Tyson?????

 

I’m surprised at all the Keilty praise. I really rate him.  I didn’t think his performance today was anything other than we have come to expect.

Dec and Harrison Petty I find hard to distinguish. I wonder if others do to. I thought Petty was very good and Dec solid in defence and good in the last when he went forward.

Tyson is the new whipping boy, let’s face it. 

Looked a bit rushed with his disposal at times, but I would anticipate a recall after that performance.

must confess to the same problem (apologies to Drunk'n) but I am getting to know the Casey numbers a little better these days. Definitely some very strong marks to Declan in defence and a good goal in that last quarter.

Good to see Weideman at the ground ... wonder where he will be playing next week?

Williamstown by the bay next week ....Willy lost today to Geelong but are sixth on the VFL ladder with Casey third.

Just noticed some stats on the Casey site for today's game:

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

Yes, because 27 disposals says it all.  What happens if 21 of them were ineffective?  How many touches he got means nothing unless we have the context of the disposals and how he used them.

Good to see Saty bringing nothing to the table, yet again.  Doesn't actually contribute to the thread but just wants to spend his time arguing with others.

Those two sentences don't go well together, Wrecker.  Are you saying he had a good game today or he didn't?

We know at least 2 of them were excellent!

What have you brought to the table?

Do you have details of his disposal efficiency today?

 Be nice if we stopped eating our own.

I’ll wait for the team report thanks.

I was there.

Tyson butchered it most of the time.  Got plenty of it, but butchered it.

So I've brought a nice roast to the table my friend.

How about you?  I'll wait for your report, big mouth.

I thought Frost played a decent game although I did not like him interacting with the Port supporters... some are not quite your most polite supporters.

No, there are turnover sinners who need to repent their wicked ways. Lucifer awaits...

Ill  still wait for the report.

You can eat them up and spit them out if you like.

He’s one of our players  and played plenty of good games for us IMO.

Im not done with him.

For the record, I never said that I'm done with him.  I just questioned a poster who made the comment that it was good that a supposed 'hack' got 27 touches and kicked a goal, when any supporter with a brain knows that just posting how many touches he got doesn't tell most of the story.  I was there and he butchered it most of the time.

Want to thank you guys for progress reports and keeping us all in the know. It was a great effort, widely appreciated. Glad to hear that the Casey fellas did well, again. There seems to be some real depth coming along. Thank you, again.

Nice bate. I’m absolutely quivering!

I wasn’t there but noted that others including Saturday and Rolling Frog considered he was amongst our better players.

You dont agree and I note also that he wasn’t shown amoungst the best players.

So conflicting opinion and I’ll wait for the match report and I’m certainly not going to can the bloke.

Our key forward stocks not what we think they are, maybe. No pedo or weid, and neither of the rucks seem to play forward.

We need Pedo for 2019.   The tall utility.   back forward ruck.  our insurance policy.

Apologies for the late writeup, we went out for tea after the game.

Today was a hard slog but Casey's class and pressure won them the day. We were definitely lucky with Ports poor accuracy in front of goal, but that can be attributed to Casey's pressure not allowing them easy shots on goal. The 3 talls in defence in Keilty, Frost and Petty were fantastic and in a game with many momentum swings and the boys were able to hang on and get the win.

Tyson - Started poorly with many turnovers and wasted possessions but improved as the game went on too finish well and have a big impact on the game

Garlett - Quiet game, kicked a great goal but otherwise didn't do a lot

Keilty - His best game for the year. Found the ball plenty and mostly used it well. Had some great defensive marks and when thrown forward in the last quarter was able to be the key link up man for Casey. He's goal was reminiscent of the TMac out the back of the pack, where he just read it best and was able to get it off hands and turn around for an easy kick.

Frost - Some great marks and was solid all day. Had some nice run too.

Petty - Keeps improving each game, strong in the air and hardly beaten one on one.

Baker - Very strong second half, found plenty of the ball running from half back and had some impressive line breaking runs through the middle.

Stretch - Bounced back from a quiet game last week to be Caseys best midfielder for the day.

Balic - Was lively up forward and kicked 2 very nice goals, continues to improve each week.

Bugg - Quiet but I thought he did his role well, needed to find more of the pill.

JKH - About the same as his previous few games, nothing special

Smith - Had some really good one on one wins and was a good user.

King - First game back from injury, needs to build back into playing footy at this level

Filipovic- Did well in the ruck and got his hands to a lot of contests, just needs to hold some more marks.

Wagner - Had a solid game through the midfield and half back

Johnstone - Started to show better signs today, had some important defensive efforts today

 

Some bad news, Mitch White copped a heavy knock and seems to have done some damage to his AC ligament in his shoulder, might be done for the season.

 

Overall it wasn't pretty and Port played some hard, strong football but in the end the class of a few key players stood up and allowed Casey to win the day.

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.

Good call.

Hi Doc32.  maybe it would be worthwhile to send this sentiment to both parties (Wbd & Saty), in order of fairness, instead of just the retaliator.  one is a serial pest.

He simply has to get better with the footy. He is being overtaken by young kids atmo. We want Tyson to get better, but his run pace and disposal have not improved much, since he arrived.

I have him in the Bugg territory.   Both have to use the ball much better.

Tyson's list spot is in danger, unless he can do something to reinvent his game.

There seems  to be some camaraderie there at Casey, because some past Casey teams may have folded with many players unavailable.

I think maybe the coach is doing well.

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • 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?

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.
