With four matches to go for the Casey Demons, it’s still mathematically possible for Casey to feature in the finals. Much will depend on how many MFC listed players are available.

    Glad about Buxton Whales being omitted. Watched him a few times this season and he does a couple of good things but then just switches off and puts in no effort. Doesnt chase, doesnt move. Big guy like him should be able to do more. He just looks lazy out there at times.

    Spargo, Hannan and Maynard all out, not sure why the reasons given none were mentioned in any injury reports, but could they have been given the same treatment as OMac and sent away for special fitness training? Both Hannan and Spargo have looked to lose a bit of their spark from last year so maybe their trying to find that before the seasons done so they can work on hitting the preseason at full tilt?

    the Sandringham/mfc relationship was not a great one. Should we have stayed around and worked on it... who knows. IIRC we were one of the first shared teams and it was purely a cost saving exercise. Strangely enough the old MFC reserves team were reasonably successful but it never really seemed to flow through to the senior team

    The VFL is struggling and becoming increasingly irrelevant. Enjoy it while you can is my thought.

    Spargo and Hannan not playing is symptomatic in the sense that teams are looking at fitness regimes other than match practice to re-invigorate players.

    I am talking VFA days when the Mighty Zebras were a proud club in their own right

    The AFL had no right to kill off the VFA, but they did it any way

    Didn't Spargo just have a rest, shortly after the mid season break? Now he is AWOL again.

    Our management of Hannan this year has been absolutely putrid.

    Good to see Melksham and Stretch back .

    He was suspended for a week recently - was that the one?

    What do you think the main problem with Spargo's game is?

  • Quote

    Spargo's biggest problem is that he has been developed poorly.  He should have played 3 or 4 games last year then gone back to Casey to develop & hone his craft not played 15 odd games its really the Club's fault.

    Also not sure he has the weapons to be a small fwd - I reckon he should go to the mid field to hone his skills.

    Not sure why he hasn’t been given a chance in the midfield.

    Changing the dynamic of the midfield can be a handy tactic if used correctly.

    No.4 one of my favs.  Dug the handball off the ground to Bailey for the winning goal in the only premiership I've witnessed (aside from plenty of other clubs ?) In 87 vs Eseendrug.

    Run down from behind (with ball in hand...i think) at the G one arvo and king hit from behind by one of the dirtiest players I've seen play the game.  Pretty sure he returned in the second half with little impact.  Something that would never happen today.  He was out cold.  A bit like me after after half time at most games.

    Giles used to regularly kick 8-10 goals a game down at The Beach Oval. Both ends of the ground. 

    He was a gun full forward

    yes the ‘87 Night Flag. Doug Heywood Commentary

    Can't really blame the AFL for this one, well not in the way you are talking.

    The VFA was a dead duck as soon as the AFL started playing Sunday games, probably on the way out before that in reality.

    The VFA was no competition and many of the clubs were insolvent. If anything the AFL/VFL have helped keep a few of the old clubs like Port & Willy alive, but really it's only a matter of time before they fold or move into some local competition...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
