weakest team for the year. Not many more in the cavalry !!! Again again Casey killed by injuries and likely straight set demise in finals. Most like Tigers, Cats, Hawks will have min 16-17 listed AFL players ready to go in finals

Don’t think we’ll be as bad this final series. Frost and some others I think still qualify for VFL finals, Casey have some very good VFL listed players and hopefully having Melksham and Hibbo back, maybe JSmith and fingers crossed Viney soon puts us in better shape, plus the double chance home finals gives us a huge lift which we didn’t have last year. Boys will be fine brudda.

Today’s game is being televised on 7 so I’m going to have an easy day and mostly leave it to the Demonlanders who follow the VFL to provide most of the comment. 

Like many of you, I will be watching on the screen and not at the ground. ?


Casey Demons going in with 13 VFL-listed players against Box Hill Hawks, with Cam Pedersen and Jay Kennedy-Harris hold-overs for Melbourne.

No JKH either? Pedo and JKH in Perth?

The team:

CASEY DEMONS

B: J. Wagner H. Petty J Munro
HB:  D. Johnstone  D. Keilty  J. Hutchins
? M. White J. Lockhart T.  Bugg 
HF: A. Scott P. McKenna J. Garlett
F: W. Stephenson T. Smith C. MacHaya
Foll: M. King  M. Gent C. Wagner
I/C: J. Briggs L. Filipovic T. Freeman G. Lok C. Stockdale 

No JKH or Pedo 

Only 10 MFC type Demons 


11 AFL listed players with JKH and Pedo travelling. 

Really tight game thus far - there isnt a lot of class on show. (He says as Tim Smith has a beautiful lead). Bugg playing inside mid today. 

Missing Weideman badly. We dont have great forward structure today without him. Mitch White playing the deep forward. We've kicked 3 behinds to 1. Nothing exciting to report other than a scrappy contest. 

Petty looking good around our the top of our forward 50 - keeping the ball in our forward 50 (tackles and marks). He looks so composed at this level and hopefully he will get the same confidence at AFL level. 

King alright thus far today. I had him on the chopping block, but we need to keep one of them and he is really putting together a nice little game. 

Tim Smith just looks like a star at this level. I remember why we loved him back a few years ago. 

Corey Wagner should be on a list next year. Great running and great pressure. Tackles like a beast. 

Flip down to Wagner to Mitch White and strait through. 9 - 7. 


To be this close when we are against a fairly substantial wind is a good effort so far

They're saying on the telecast that Casey had whatever advantage there was with the wind?

 

9 - 9 at Quarter Time. 

Heathily out for Box Hill with a hamstring. 

The wind is horrid - a lot of balls already out on the full (not us, Box Hill). 

Bugg - he has had a good quarter but it is Matt Jones-esc. Really solid and plays well, but there is nothing that screams - I'm ready to head back to the AFL. I dont know what we do with him. I guess he'll be on the trade table, but I dont know what happens with him now. 

Wagners - both really good and wouldnt be anti getting Corey on our list - all the things you already know about them. They can kick, run and put on pressure. Good back up. 

Thought that King and Flip had really good quarters, competed really well in the ruck and on the ground as well.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
