Daw did not look fit or like he was saving something for after the game. Bedford is knocking on the door for 1st selection. Weids is a sure thing against Richmond. Brown needs another week. Jetta needs to wait and see how our backline in the ones goes to regain selection.

    Thanks for all the reports. Great to have so many players pushing for senior selection but I hope we are cautious bringing them through. There has always been a big difference VFL to AFL but given the non-season last year for VFL, that gulf is bigger than ever.

    Was impressed with what I saw by Deakin Smith too, very lively down back.

    I thought Daw's ruck work was solid all game.

    He was very ordinary all day I thought. On form weid a must with bedford next in line. Brown/chandler also staked their claim but not sure how we could fit them in at the moment.

    He did not dominate in any way,

    and if he gets a game in the ones it would surprise me. 
     

    does Casey nominate the days best 

    I thought bowey, rosman, Bedford, Weid and brown and number 68. Gray ? 
    Bradke and VdB and chandler and I apologise for others all better

    Lockhart and Deakyn Smith were fantastic. Bowey found a good amount of the ball but was a tad sloppy. He will be a player though.

    We have some nice replacements options coming through for the aging Hibbo and Jetta.

    Thanks for the reports guys.

     

    For those that watched it what positions did Weid and BBB play.  Did Weid play full forward (out of the goal square) or did they change it up.

    TMac seems to be playing further up the ground so it probably makes sense if Weid play close to goal if he comes in.

    Mainly BB playing the deeper role.

    Weid got most from heavily contested positions.

    Great games but remember the opposition played their best but many not in the same league.

    That being said you couldn't ask much more of either of them.

    Majak may become my favourite VFL player

    Best result apart from the Demons would have to be Carlton losing at home by 1 point to Southport after leading all day.

    I watch some of the game and I was more impressed with Deakyn Smith than Bowey.

    He may be the small defender like Neville Jetta was 3 years ago.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
