Surely the absence of both Stretch and Garlett means that one of them, presumably Jeffy, is playing on Monday instead of Hannan?

Not necessarily, it is not unusual to have 2 emergencies for a game that is still 2 days away.

Tyson probably BOG.

I wanna see the numbers. Felt like a 40+er for Tyson... Which may have been a reflection of how well he used it...

Stats
Tyson 35, Bugg 34, JKH 32, C Wagner 22, Baker 22, Balic 22, Petty 18, Munro 18, J Wagner 17, Lok 15, Scott 15, Hunt 15

 

Why have they got Nibbler and Hannan listed in the starting eighteen? ?

I could have sworn I saw Bugg place his hands on the umpire’s back in the closing minutes. I wonder whether that has any repercussions? ?

Casey will win the flag.

Has Pedersen played enough games to be eligible for VFL finals (6 games I believe)?

Balic was signed to a one year contract.

For those who’ve seen him at VFL level this year, do we extend?

Without question.

Something about him today.. touch of class? We forget he was also a gun midfielder in his under 18s days.

To everyone here, Weed is still 20 years of age. Don’t care if he spends rest of year at Casey. 

If he still can’t get a game in 2020 then OK get rid of him.

Doesn't matter - he'll be too busy preparing for an AFL Grand Final.

As for the game, I tuned into the 2nd half and was really impressed by the slick ball movement of JKH and Tyson. JKH in particular was really classy in the 3rd quarter - lots of really quick releases handpasses to free players from contested sitatuions. He reminded me a lot of Oliver actually and if he keeps up this form he'd definitely be worth keeping on the list. Was also really impressed with some of the risky kicks he and Tyson managed to pull off, changing our angles going forward. Some of those won't work in the AFL, but it fits with Goody's game plan.

Such is the strength of our AFL midfield at the moment, it's hard to see him (and even Tyson) getting  into the centre square or wing anytime soon in the seniors, but if anyone gets injured they are more than capable replacements, especially on today's form.

I also liked the look of Balic up forward - he's another of those medium-sized players that is hard to match up on because at times he played like a true full forward. His ground kicking needs a bit of work, but I think he's another player who could easily step into the seniors.

Petty looked great in defence and Keilty seemed to do some nice things as well. With Frost moving forward for the 2nd half, it looks like the match committee have these two (and Wagner) as the others in line for Lever's spot if Smith doesn't make the cut.

I also thought Hunt didn't do his chances any harm. Didn't get a huge amount of touches but he was hard at every contest and showed some good ability to break away from packs 2 or 3 times. I wouldn't think he's too far away.

Votes for Casey player of theYear

6 -  Tyson - 35 damaging touches, he used the ball well..  Cleanest hes used it in a long while.  Played like he wants back in the AFL side.

5 -  JKH  -   fantastic game, was in everything..  won a lot of possession and linked up well. I still like him on the MFC list as solid depth.

4 -  Petty  -   hes 197 cms and just 18 years of old but he plays like a veteran.  A natural footballer who will debut soon at senior level.

3 - Bugg -  a typical Bugg game, workmanlike , plenty of touches and snagged a couple of goals.

2 - Baker - another draftee already delivering and exceeding expectations. He looked a lot bigger than I expected.  A powerful unit with elite acceleration.

1 -   Keilty -  teamed up well with Petty to form a solid KPD duo, the Pies talls couldn't get into the game. 

Honorable mentions - 

Goy Lok  -   always lively and unfortunately was robbed of a nice goal  the maggots claim was touched.

Harley Balic -   worked his way into the game and looked threatening. 


This is the only page of the thread I've read, but I'm sure there are some "insightful" observations by some...

My main takeaways.

While Weideman was quiet, I'm more interested in his movement.  It was good to see him take 3 or 4 contested marks, but he has a spring and bounce in his step that was missing last year due to his ankle injury.  He's still only 20 and WILL make it.  He'll be a very good AFL footballer.

Petty.  The guy is 18 years of age.  He is going to be a 200 game AFL footballer.  He made a few skill execution errors and the odd poor decision, but his reading of the play, marking, and agility is first class.  

In a very congested game, Tyson is clearly too classy for this level.  

Hunt has a real crack and some good AFL assets, but it's not quite working for him.  I think he needs to learn how to play to his limitations.  I still like what he potentially offers.

The rest of the Dees' listed AFL players are probably depth, but it's a bit early to know for a couple.  We develop players well, so some might make rapid progress.

Seriously, whoever gives out the best player list, there’s a glaring omission there.

Initials are DT - easily BOG in my book.

I didnt see the last quarter so again i miss seeing Sam Weiderman do anything much. I go walk the dogs and found he is named in the best. Amazing. I see him in contests, I see him winning absolutely none. I see Tom Bugg and I see an AFL player who has had the yips in the ones. I am now biased. Im Opposite George to many experts.

If we venture over to the Dom Tyson thread I’m sure we’ll find a couple of candidates.


Went down and had a look and aside from the filth supporters I enjoyed the game even though it was congested.

Tyson was probably BOG but I was impressed with keiltys game. Overall the team played well together. I noticed the filth tried to move the ball quickly with a lot of handballs. Their seniors do the same. Our blokes tackled really well and kept the pressure on them. Our seniors will have to do the same as moving the ball quickly ( and pacey ) is about the only area of the game they may get us on.

Great win considering we didn't have Tim.Smith and Garlett.

TYSON -Best on ground a class above this level really pushing for a senior re call.

FROST - Prefer him as a forward and with Hutchins back in the side don't be surprised to see him spend more time there.

KENNEDY HARRIS - Definitely one of his better games hopefully he can show more consistency.

WEIDEMAN - Took a few good marks late but otherwise quiet.

BALIC - In and out of the game but a great last quarter, shows good signs.

HUNT - Really disappointing not showing his usual dash and wasn't in the game a hell of a lot.

BUGG - Really good game probably second best on ground, I don't understand why he can kick straight at VFL level but not AFL level frustrating footballer.

BAKER - Reallly exciting prospect but like Hunt needs to work on his disposal.

KING - Developing ruck needs more time.

PETTY - Has really good football smarts apart from a couple of dodgy kicks into the corridor he was a general down back.

JOHNSTONE - Has definitely found his niche down back and may have saved his career only time will tell.

WAGNER - Typical Wagner game solid without being spectacular.

KEILTY - Mr Dependable didn't put a foot wrong.

FILIPOVIC - Loved his bump. Showed a bit of agro I like that in a ruckman.

Dazzle, he's a classy mover who undoubtedly will play a role in the 1's at some point this year....imo.

And Oskar Baker has abundant physical talent but I'm not completely convinced about his footy IQ. Which is code for 'he manages to have complete brain fades on the field'

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
