New Casey Coach Mark Corrigan

A few points of interest here:

1. Essendon, another Goodwin connection or just raiding one of their deckchairs?

2. No mention if it's part time or full time, the initial plan was part time but that was before confirmation of Egan leaving. I still don't really get it, I'd have though Casey coach and development manager would be a vital coach to have full time even after big cuts.

3. McPherson making the announcement instead of Mahoney

    Goodwin wasn't at Ess when Corrigan joined them.  Corrigan took over as coach as their VFL team at the start of this year but there wasn't much of a VFL season. 

    He seems to have a really solid background in development so from the outside it looks a good appointment.

    Mahoney could be on vacation.  Now that the trade period is over he may not be needed much before the draft.

    Welcome to the Demons Mark, we already have a number of good young players on our list and will have another 4-6 depending on who Taylor and Co pick up in this years Draft, we are going to need at least 6 young guns to step up in 2021 to help our older brigade out.

    So  I and a lot of others here on Demonland will be watching their progress with much anticipation. No Pressure But..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Great appointment. He will be fantastic with the young players ...was a very talented player & just a great bloke. I’m really happy we have got him & think he will do well.

    Ex Essendon ? There is a slightly foul taste in my mouth. Lets hope he is good.

    I really wonder what the role of Casey and similar clubs are these days.

    The game at VFL level is miles below the senior level quality wise and you have to question its worth as a true development path.

    In the last ten years I can only think of Weid, Petty and Baker who have come through Casey for any length of time. Not a stunning output.

    Makes you wonder if there is a better system.

    Watched him play many games at South Barwon with his brother Paul who played AFL for Geelong. Geelong Football League was a very high level competition and South Barwon dominated for about 6 years.

    Absolute gun at that level, way better than Tom Couch and as good as any player in the comp.

    I was lead to believe that he was going to be a Demon as a teenager but did his knee and so was never drafted. Not sure if this is true?

    • 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.
