Box Hill Hawks v Casey Demons - Round 20

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Bit warmer where I'm watching from.

Imagine if the game was at Casey. The Box Hill area is not that windy except the ground is exposed on the Middleborough road side.

I am starting to favour 16 a side at VFL level for a year or so. May open it up and improve the talent base. The games have become very scrappy in recent years.

Jeffy almost unseen so far.

    @Diamond Jim you are right with Jeffy. I dont know what he does at this level. I'm not sure if he is playing deep or what is going on - he has been on the screen so I know he is there, but very rarely on the screen. 

    Johnson working his way into another year contract. His speed and kick off half back is quite nice - needs work and is still a little headless chook like, but he's had 3 so far and had a few great tackles as well. 

    Box Hill all the attack for the second quarter thus far (6:40 in). 12-10 the wind playing havoc.

    Tempo just went up with another goal from Box Hill. Felling more like the Demons are there to top up Casey rather than the other way around. Lockhart, Matchya, Lok, Wagner, Gent doing most of the heavy lifting.

    Lucky goal for Lockhart. 2 Box Hill player bang into each other and Lok picks up the loose ball and gets it to Lockhart.

    I don’t know how the commentators can see who they are calling right now!

    Bugg stiff with a terrible "nominated ruck" free kick against. 

    The boundary throw in,  in horrible conditions,  flew so far off target it fell into Buggs lap 15m+ away from the ruckmen. Instead of throwing it in again they paid it against him.

    Melbourne listed players to half time: 

    Garlett: Cannot see him playing for the dees again this year. 2 ineffective touches, no tackles, 0 chasing. He is very lucky that Goody isnt at the ground. Garlett was moved around the ball now, but still not having an impact. 

    Petty -  I've been really happy with his game. Used and read the ball really well and looks like he has a good future in front of him. 

    Kielty - been strong in the contest but doesnt seem to get as much of the football - seems to be more stopping. 

    Johnson - love his run and drive. Could easily see him getting another 1 year contract. I think that he is developing the part of the game Jetta struggles with - that run and carry. 

    Bugg - In and under but seems to be there at the stoppage and then you dont see him until the next stoppage. 

    McKenna - if you see him let me know. I watched today to see him and he has barely been sighted. 

    Smith - started really well, but has kicked 0.3 and really should have nailed those ones. 

    Wagner - really clean when others arent and has really shown some great skills. 

    King - Out of the 2 ruckman, he is the one I'd be keeping. Great jump, tackling hard, and showing some good signs around the ground. 

    Flip - good tap work but not as much around the ground.

    Another to the Hawks which gives them a 13 point lead 4.7.31 to 2.6.18 right on half time.

    No surprise. Hard to see a depleted Casey overcoming the odds again. Aside from Sicily, Roughead and Birchall, most of Hawks list is available.

    lol could hear Twig going off his head from 2 rooms away.... safe to say he isn’t too happy with that first half from the boys

    Lockhart has to be a good chance of getting picked up by someone this year

    Lockhart gets it back to 12 with really fast ball movement. Not sure who from the back 50, so it was Freeman to Matchya, to Wagner to Lockhart. Great ball movement.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
