Wow this poor kid copped a lot of crap after last weeks game which is absurd all things considered.

He has so much potential and was excellent tonight.

    Can we hold judgement on a young guy who:

    1. Has had to come back from an interrupted pre-season

    2. Is trying to build form in a season where there is no second tier competition.

    3. Has played one game in pouring rain.

    Seriously some of you just want to pot anyone you can. He is the least of our worries.

    I've quoted this for this brilliant post.

    Barely did a pre season. I love this kid and have been a fan since day dot. I love blokes who I different and unique.

    One thing I will say is that he rarely wastes the ball. With Tomlinson now locking down that 3rd defender spot, its up to Baker now to own that spot. Really hope Langdon takes him under his wing over the summer.

    His best game for us and hopefully a game to build his footy career from. That should give him some confidence.

    That's it Redleg. I've seen enough of him at Casey to realise he's a player who will thrive with a little self-belief

    14 possies and 2 goals tonight. He’s a good snap. Was more involved in the play. Still looks raw in general play but credit where credit is due.

    On what he showed tonight he has a future.

    The goals were great, but it's the positioning and run that is far more important.

    Field kicking is actually very good. Covers the ground well and can see he is learning from Langdon.

    I like him on the other wing.

    If Baker and Petty can become top 15 players in 2021 we will have a far better team.

    This years three draft picks plus Langdon gives us 6  good players who were not available in 2019.

    Some hope for optimism in 2021

    One thing that should help him improve is watching Langdon on the other wing and how hard he works. 
    Will make our spread so much better if we have two decent paced wingers belting up and down each wing all game.

    Always remember his dad saying, when he was about to play his first game, “ just take em son, just take em on”. And that is exactly what he will do when he becomes a lock in our best 22.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
