Bowey was good this week and has potential Rosman is completely lost with his positioning the coach has no idea where he should be played I would play him in defence  like CHB so he can run at the ball.

Exactly Rosman looked good when running at the footy.  I’d play him CHB and let him follow a target. 

Damn we’ve got some depth right now, fingers crossed we all stay fit!

126 Dream Team points for Majak Daw defies the critics. Maybe he is better insurance than most pundits predicted? Maybe we could give Max a rest next week in the VFL and throw Majak in against his old team? ?


Stats alone there seems to be a few almost games. Majak with 3 behinds, Bedford 3 behinds. Kick straight and those guys might be knocking on the door.

Just off topic dazzledavey, do you happen to know a bloke by the name of Shaun Campbell who played for Wagga in recent years.

I sure do. Absolute brute of a footballer. He played at Wagga last year and i went and watched 2 games (have a mate who plays there) and he absolutely ripped em to shreds.

Surprised he didn't have a crack at Ovens and Murray level considering the likes of Albury Tigers threw big cash at home.

Yeh. 

Cause dream team points are the only thing coaches look at when determining whether or not a player had a good game..

He is playing at Parkside in the Footscray District League where my son is footy manager, came with a reputation as a goal kicking midfielder, in his first two games I think he kicked 7 goals for the 2 games, on Saturday he kicked 10 goals 4 behinds playing straight midfield.

Not one bit surprised. Insanely good footballer.

Enjoy watching him put on a clinic every week.

My son and rest of Parkside will but I won't be travelling at least an hour and a half to watch him unfortunately.

Leader journalist Paul Amy reports that former Casey listed brother of Bayley, Darcy Fritsch, booted 20 goals for Coldstream against Kilsyth in Div 4 of the Eastern league. He was on Casey’s VFL list in 2019 but didn’t play a game.

Kicked 5 the week before. They had Bailey on the post game telecast, mainly to talk about that.

I'm not a coach, but I was there and he had a very good game.

FWIW.....

How was Toby Bedford Jake Bowey and Deakyn Smith.

3 players that really intrigued me.

  • Author

I'm not very good at describing what I see on the footy field, so apologies in advance...

Bedford looks the most likely at this point to take the next step. Didnt have as much of a stand out game as the last couple but his speed, aggressiveness and attack on the ball and opposition were still impressive.

Bowey was similar, but looked a bit timid early. Got into it more as the game progressed. Not as quick as I thought he'd be, but then the conditions were bad for a fair chunk of the game and not really condusive to hard running so I'll reserve judgement on that. Got a great kick on him though.

Smith is in everything. Quite a slight fella but it doesn't seem to bother him at all. He was often the one you'd see running around in support of team mates, mopping up the loose ball. Often got to it first when he probably had no right too.

Majak though, was very impressive. He's got a great vertical leap and tap, and to my eye, dominated the Richmond rucks, one of which was Chol. He took a couple of big pack marks in the forward line which definitely raised my eyebrows. Very handy acquisition

Bedford had a down week. Made a few mistakes in the first quarter and missed a soda in front.

Bowey continues to show he has the pace and skill to make it but not yet the size.

Smith was serviceable but less prominent than the week before.

Casey are going to be very hard to beat this year.

MS is Marvel Stadium

If you look at the venue key... bottom right ...MS is listed as Metricon

There is no listing for Docklands

If you are correct that is even stranger

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
