Not saying much but ANB was clearly our best player today

His turnovers are game killers and even today there were several.

    I think Jade Rawlings was less than impressed, as was I 

    The disease has spread to the VFL level, it appears, from the valued commentary on DL. Some kids are really talented, no doubt, as it seems that they came from behind to crush Casey (not a normal team at that) as the game wore on. Coaches need some time to have a good dissection and discussion on such a performance, none the less.

    that direct turnover in the backline where he kicked it straight to the opposition who goaded is probably equivalent to 10 of his possessions. so if he got 25, he now only really gets 15. that's how I see it. was hopeless by foot today.

    How did Garlett go?

    I don’t hate or love him, I just commented on what I saw. I hate bagging players (they are not ‘spuds’), but his play was noteworthy in its cost to the outcome.  Perhaps we all expect more given his role in the firsts?

    I was commenting regarding people making fun of him - eg can he be dropped any lower.

    no issue with pointing out when someone isn’t playing well

    He is obviously not working hard enough at his skills at training

    He is one of the hardest workers at the club. Some players have limitations on their skills and decision making and he is one.

    Stretch was easily our best until rested.

    Neal-Bullen was our best player but turned it over too much. Stretch was good for the time he was on the ground. The rest were ordinary.

    Young is a player I'd like to pick up with our top 4 pick.

    Should have played the seniors game as the curtain raiser. At least then I would have known to keep an eye on the potential top few picks in the next draft in this game.

    Now that we're a bust, like the look of this bloke. We may just get him.

     

    I’d rather Rowell, that blood nut is an absolute jet

    God it’s dee-pressing to be looking at high end picks AGAIN

    Thank goodness we didn’t trade out our 2019 first rounder

    we don't need rowell. we need speed. rowell is a slowish accumulator with avg skills. I want someone with pace to burn.

    CASEY TAKES ON THE AUSSIES by KC from Casey
     
    The Casey Demons played an exhibition match against an Australian Under 19 team at the MCG on Easter Saturday but the game was played with more than half an eye on the fact that whilst their senior counterpart was taking part in their AFL Round 5 game against St Kilda later that afternoon, they also had an assignment just four days later against Richmond. 
     
    The team, with 10 AFL Demons, opened strongly and dominated the first half to lead by four goals at the main break before taking most of their Melbourne players off and leaving the highly talented youngsters to use their skills to take over and run away to a comfortable 23 point win.
     
    Billy Stretch was outstanding in the first half with 15 possessions, Jeff Garlett was busy around goal and Oscar McDonald was strong in defence. Declan Keilty was powerful in his few moments in the first half. Once they went off, Casey was left with few players with any AFL experience to speak of other than Alex Neal-Bullen who shone with 26 disposals.

    Mykelti Lefau who came on at half time booted three goals against the tide.

    Casey Demons 3.1.19 7. 4.46 8.6.54 11.8.74 

    Australia 2.2.14 3.4.22 8.5.53 15.7.97

    Goals Lefau 3 M Lewis 2 J Briggs Garlett Keilty Neal-Bullen T Smith White

    By the look os thid OMac, Stretch & Gartlett are in for promotion .

    TBH I think Spargo ,Jnr Wagner and Hunt might be looking down the barrell. I still think Hunt is worth perservering with because he has pace and is developing his tackling, but needs room to move.

    ANB seem top be banished even though he is a busy bee which is better than havcing St Kilda Players standing 25m fro a Melb playing with a flag up saying, "MyTurn"

    Whereas the Under 18's  were loaded with no players with AFL experience and they walked all over us.

    They belted North by about 10 goals in same game last year and North had more afl players during the entire game.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
