in Melbourne Demons

Posted

The Casey Demons’ final pre season practice match is scheduled against Williamstown on Saturday, April 10, 2021 ahead of the season opener against the Box Hill Hawks on the following Saturday. 

With Melbourne doing well in the AFL and players returning from injury, we can expect some big names taking part in the Casey team this week.

    That would be a huge boost. Maybe they could each play a half at full forward.  I think we’d have to get them through two games before senior selection.  I thought tom McDonald did ok in round 1 but he’s not the answer across CHF/FF. Need Weid and Ben Brown in the MFC line up.

    I wonder whether they'd look to bring one in for the Anzac eve match

    I see the girls start at 1500 hrs so it will be probably before midday.

    On the Williamstown website it has the start time at 11.15am but that info was put up a few weeks ago. I'll wait for something more concrete.

    I read in an article on the MFC app, that both the Weed and Brown played in an intraclub game last weekend. Does anyone have any info as to how they went?

    I’d like to think that it’s not a contest between them, but rather an opportunity for them to practice operating together in the same f50.  Imagine Brown leading up and Weidemann sitting back splitting the defenders and offering some juicy 1:1s for the Hf line to kick to.  Frittata leading to the pocket as third option, and Kosi buzzing around ready to pounce.....

    Fritta needs to stop leading into the pockets Very rarely leads within the 45 deg arc and should concentrate on that.

    Having said that his 2 set shots on Sunday  were Spot on. Really knows how to set the ball.

    Kinda exciting to think about and consider, at this point of their eventual return to the team, just how opposition sides are going to counter a forward set-up such as the one that is going to be in place in the very near future for the Dees. Unless there are executive decisions to mess up the functionality of the array - including its potential, multiple and layered strategies for a avalanche of goals - the near future is looking particularly bright across the whole field of play. 

    There are others in the team other than the mentioned key players, bubbling along, who will provide considerable support and further options for aggressive scoring options and pathways. 

    I sense that both Yze and Chocko will contribute significantly to this new deck of cards winning many tricks onfield and before goal.

    'Carna Dees!

    Possible Casey forward line this week

     

    HF   Chandler     Weideman    Melksham

    F     M Brown     B Brown       Bedford

     

    Rosman and Laurie buzzing around.   Couldn't even fit big Majak in  (could swap him with Mitch though).

    Pretty handy.

    What a debacle

    the VFL still doing pre-season pratice matches when we are up to round 4.

    Amateur hour

    What's the issue?  We still get a game which is all we really want.  That it doesn't count for VFL points doesn't really matter does it?

    it was always round 3 but this is effectively round 6.

    Unfortunately it is a reflection on how the senior coaches regard the VFL. I suspect they would be happy to keep it as practice matches.

    The issue is game time for those that aren't in the seniors. How does a Melksham for example get match fit....?

    With less rotations, the possibility of player fatigue is high and the ability of clubs to manage the fitness of their player rosters is compromised.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
