 IT JUST WASN'T CRICKET

The former Australian Under 19 cricket captain took more than a season and a half to recover from a debilitating hamstring injury but his form on return couldn’t save him a spot on the list.

    I'd love to see the highlights package that (a) got McKenna drafted in the second round and (b) earned him four years on AFL lists, because he looked miles off the pace in his nine games this year. If he still dreams of an AFL career he could do worse than hang around at Casey for another year.

    Should have stuck with Cricket..

    Never saw the potential personally and was a bit confused why we went after him. I was even bit surprised he was takend as a 2nd round draft pick in the first place considering he was plucked straight from the bush.. was a rookie list option at best.

    I never saw him play at Casey but his highlight package when we picked him up showed some neat skills.

    Shame he apparently never found his feet although its understandable considering his injury setbacks.

    Wasn't he drafted with the pick we traded to GWS for Sam Frost and two third rounders (who I believe went on to become ANB and Stretch)?

    Close, ANB and OMac were the guys we got. Still good all round business on our part!

    He played a ripper final in the NEAFL which is why we went after him, but injuries meant he just never got going. We paid nothing for him (minor pick upgrades), so we've clearly come out on top just a shame some guys just never get a run at it.

    It's a shame, most would probably not know what number he wore. Hopefully life has some good things in store for him.

    Injury prone and delisted no surprise really.

    Apparently returning to his local roots.

    Wishing him good luck for the future - nearly two seasons out with hamstring issues is no fun.

    Hindsight is just so cool.

    Clearly our professional recruiting staff saw something in him that some posters here did not.

    FWIW the attached highlights package looked as if he could get the ball, dispose of it cleanly and effectively, and lay a tackle.

    Still, what do we know?

    Good luck  in whatever endeavours you pursue, and thanks for coming to the Demons even though it didn't end up as all of us would have hoped.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
