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.

Good on him , very happy for sauce.

Holds his spot in the side.

 

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. 

 

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: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
