I feel very sorry for some of these kids. They’re playing so well, clearly too good for this level, but good luck getting a game. Chandler, Bradford, Weideman, Sparrow, not to mention Harmes and Jetta are all AFL quality players. If they played for North they’d be playing senior footy every week. 
I suppose that’s the downside of being a bloody good side. 

Majak playing well. Good luck getting a game ahead of Gawn, Jackson, McDonald, Brown and Weideman tho son ?

    Munro with a nice snap followed by another contested mark and goal to Weid.

    4 goals in a row for Casey.

    Weid with a good contested mark and finishes with a goal. He’s got two early and the margin is 24pts already.

    If we don’t get Weideman into the senior side, he will go to Collingwood and be a star ?

    I don’t feel sorry for them.  I’m thankful we are finally strong enough to force players to earn spots.  They all get paid.  Previous years of deck chairs being shuffled gladly behind us...

    I don’t actually feel sorry for them. I’m sure they rather play seconds for a strong team than play for a side like Norf.

    What’s really pleasing is Casey are playing very similarly to how Melbourne play. There’s a clear sign that both playing groups know how the entire club top to bottom wants to go about their business.

    Sparrow with an incredible ball to Weid who just misses, nearly 3 in the first for Weid who is close to BOG

    If you thought North's senior team have been ordinary this year then don't be surprised that their reserves aren't that good either.

    Weid another contested Mark hand passes to sparrow who shanks it around the body. Could have had 10 this quarter.

    this could be interesting. Weed will be kicking the door down for selection after tonight you’d imagine 

    Same outcome as Sunday's going to be an absolute spanking. Weed lining up for his 3rd in the 1st quarter. 

    Norf can't even get over the half way pinned in their own half.  Dees 30 v Norf 2.

    Was that Paul Roos in the North box?

    Wish Weid had taken the kick then, a bit more accuracy and finishing and this could be 40+ already ?.

    • 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.
