When Tom Papley was playing with the Gippsland Power Under 18s he had a few  games with Casey’s VFL team as the 23rd player and impressed with his goal kicking prowess. At the time, I was hoping that Melbourne would draft him but our recruiters had other ideas. There’s another Papley in the wings but unfortunately, we haven’t had the opportunity to see any of him in his vital Under 18 year.

They 'talk, walk and run the same': Is a second Papley heading for the AFL?

    We have taken about 10 players from Casey over the years and missed two of the best. ?

    Tom Papley wasn’t a Casey player as such - just a Gippsland Power Under 18 player who filled in a few times at Casey.

    Kicked three or four in his Casey debut from memory. Shouldn't have gone unnoticed!

    On top of the 40 odd goals he kicked at TAC level that year.

    Obviously hard to gauge young Will Papley.  For the Dees, he may be an option as a rookie pick or perhaps offer a Casey contract for 2021 if he’s not drafted.

    • 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.
