Everyone in the 1s should be worried about Jetta's performance today..

Seriously he is playing very well and took a screamer in the fwd 50, but missed the set shot. Dees 10.10, should be 10 goals in front.

    nev absolutely dominant through the midfield, joel smith killing it with rebound from d50, and bedford, weed, and brown doing it all up forward

    Great round the corner snap by Ben after the siren for a goal!

    Why wasn't that "play on" and therefore disallowed? Are they playing the "old" (pre-2021) man on the mark rule in the VFL?

    The changes thread for next week will be interesting!

    brown for Brown?

    t Mac for Weed?

    Don't think TMac is going out from what I can gather from Goodwin's pressers. Expect him to move up the ground to wing and allow either or both Weid and BB in

    Brown and Weideman too good for VFL. 
    Lockhart steady and cool. Runs in straight lines.

    Deakyn Smith putting on an impressive performance so far. Had 10 disposals in that first half and uses the footy beautifully.

    Seems to have a more creative role and can show his smarts.

    What a half.   Pressure for spots is fierce.

    Weideman (3 goals, could easily be 5) and Brown (2 goals) look ready to come in vs the Tigers.

    Bedford absolutely dominant and I would have him in the seniors ahead of Melksham, and Jones at a minimum.

    Chandler fantastic. Lockhart, Baker very busy.  Joel Smith a general in the back line.  Bradtke having an 'almost' game, done a few nice things,  needs more strength in his body. 

    Love a couple of the Casey kids like Goonan and Grey.

     McDonald, Jones, Melksham, ANB....  you better play well against the Hawks.

    The commentators were saying it was all good, the player can go around but not "break the plane" of the straight line. ie there is the stragiht line down the mark to the middle of the goal square, you can duck out to the side and come around to snap as long as you don't go back over the other side of the mark line. I don't know if that makes any sense haha.

    Pretty sure we're currently leading the comp for tackles inside50, so i would love to see Bedford given a good run at it in the seniors. Take that forward pressure to yet another level

    The club is in really good shape at the minute. Plenty of depth at Casey and great to see everyone looking so sharp. No one in the first team can take their place for granted that’s for sure.

    It’s great to see that we have great quality in our depth now. For eons it has been (say) 18 regulars then a drop off to the rest.

    Fantastic depth we have at the moment. All goes well for the future with these guys firing. Keeps the pressure on the one's to perform which can only be good.

    Very impressed with Bedford today. Playing a rovers game, quick as, crumbing and kicking well. I didn't realise he had this much skill.

    Bedford and Chandler killing it and ready if Jones and Melksham have quiet games in coming weeks. Brown and Weid getting good touch but Weid seemed to play reduced minutes that qtr. Really love the look of Deakyn Smith rare you see such polish on show at VFL level. He das it in spades and looks like a serious player for a half back spot in the future. Based on the first half you would not want to be in the seniors and not play your role with fill commitment at full tilt today. There are players ready to take  spots in most positions.

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
