This is true, I’m coming off a 12hr graveyard shift and come straight  to the footy so apologies on advanced to everyone as i wasn’t able to focus on anything except the good goals and how Dec was doing 

I can't really relate to your circumstances (being here in downtown Cavtat, Croatia where, at 9am it's already 26 degrees) but I have really appreciated the commentary.

Big day here of course (3pm). Wall-to-wall Poms. At least they won't be biased. They hate the Frogs and Croats equally.

Now back to the AFL. Remind me again who we want to win -Swans?

no! one Wagner is more than enough. there is a reason north cut him.

 

[SPC 3,576]

I love Weid, but can’t see him in our forward line and time soon. Could he be moved back?

We also won the  VFL Women's game against Richmond by 5.9.39 to 2.9.21.

He was injury hit, and had difficulty breaking into the side, Casey made a point of chasing him

I think it’s definitely worth a shot, will help his forward craft also

happily an ignoramus - how does that help with forward craft? (and has chaplin helped with ours )

[monoccular 17,697]

Many thanks for all the reports.

How did VDB go?  Is he getting closer to promotion?

Playing on the best forwards each week you learn there running patterns, work ethic, use of the body etc..

He has been out for a long time, I think he will remain at Casey all year, wet conditions suited him last week. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,651]

From today 

- Weideman is AFL ready. He needs to be considered in our structure. Is it Hogan and Tom McDonald only. Where does the Weid fit in??

- Jay Lockhart is ready for AFL. He is not rookie material. He is National Draft material.  Our next Casey recruit. He need him as cover for Jetta but he is already good to go  

- Corey Wagner could be grabbed by another club. Too good for VFL. I don’t know if he fits in as we have similar types

- Dom Tyson must come in if Viney is out for a few more weeks. He starred again today and must replace Hannan. If we don’t, then we have to let him go to Suns or Blues

Pinch hitting in the ruck for starters.

Would enable us to leave Tom Mac forward the whole game, and ensure that even when either Tom or Hogan are resting, we still have 2 talls up forward.

Haven't heard of Dion Johnstone for a few weeks.

He sounded as if he could have been developing as a small defender under Nev's tutelage, but has disappeared from the radar.  Is he injured?

Tight quad I think

[spirit of norm smith 16,651]

Dion was at the AFL game yesterday. He said he should play in the next 2 weeks. I didn’t ask what was wrong... perhaps  I should have !!

Quad I think... it was in the weekly Miso video on the club website but no listed in the official injuries.

What a f***ing win! The gods were in our favour as the wind died down in the last but we faught it out against all odds. Weids amazing second half, Pedo and Keilty instrumental in defence, and some great work around the ball from the whole midfield. That was sick.

Love the passion and emotion in these posts Drunkn.  Move over Bruce and make way for Drunkn.

OUR FRIEND THE WIND by KC from Casey

 

The Casey Demons continued their winning run against Footscray  on Sunday to make it nine in a row after a hard fought battle in a wind affected game at Casey Fields

 

The winning result was however, not as easy and straightforward as one would have anticipated especially after some withdrawals from the team through injuries. At half time, the  Demons were staring at defeat for the first time in two and a half months after the Bulldogs took full advantage of the northerly wind blowing down the ground, kicking four goals in time on to take a 20 point lead into the sheds at the main break.

 

But it is not for nothing that the Demons are sitting in second place on the VFL premiership ladder and they showed their class by holding the Dogs scoreless in the premiership quarter while they piled on five goals four behinds of their own and then they narrowly outscored their opponent in the last to win by 15 points.

 

Footscray, which is battling with a log jam of teams for a finals berth were never one to be taken lightly, given that they are one of only two clubs this season to have beaten ladder leaders Richmond. So while the home team scored the first goal through James Munro, the determined Doggies defended strongly against the wind and held them to a lead of only a goal.

 

After an arm-wrestle for much of the first half of the second term, Footscray edged ahead to lead by 26 points in the shadows of half time before a handy Angus Scott major against the run of play gave the Demons some breathing space. Sam Weideman who had been a little off target in the first half came to the fore with the first goal after the main break and two more in the last quarter. That was enough to see the team home particularly as our friend the wind decided to moderate a little and the Bulldogs' legs seemed to tire as well and the game came to a spluttering halt with the Dees well in control.

 

When the heat was on, Casey was well served in defence by Jay Lockhart, Declan Keilty and the Wagner brothers and skipper Jack Hutchins. Cam Pedersen was strong throughout and Dom Tyson had far too much skill and ball winning ability in the middle for the Demons. Aaron vandenBerg backed up his excellent first up return game with another solid performance and will be challenging soon for a place in the Melbourne senior side.

 

Next up for Casey is an away game against Geelong VFL at GMHBA Stadium when second place and a home final could well be determined.

All the goals here, some impressive highlights. At 02:55 it shows AVBs goal from the Centre... has to be almost 100m, and 3:33 for Sammys pack and goal.
