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.

    Gawny said on the radio this morning that both Weid and Ben Brown are playing

    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

    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'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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
