Classy goal from Nev Jetta receiving from Vandenberg.

Vanders is a smoky for AFL yet this year.

    Haha, that Hird goal was 4 Casey players going up to spoil, only for it to come off for the crumb. Dumb dumb footy. Most of our Dees brigade look a serious class above. Like the look of all the newbies, no exceptions. Bedford is very very quick, and good. Needs an AFL gig, poor kid. Love that Nathan Jones, no. 2. Is he on our list?

    Weid kicks a goal from a spot where Brown dropped a mark earlier today...

     

    Don't go there, I understand why but makes you like them.

    He's been ok today, clearly working hard just hasn't impacted like he/we would like

    Very satisfactory afternoon. BB kicked a bag. Has to start v GWS. No point waiting.

    Jonesy very good , Melks, Baker, Vanders all in amongst it. The Weid was up and down. Hopefully he can build some confidence over the next few weeks and be ready if called upon.

    Of the youngsters Bowey looks composed. Classy player. Developing nicely. Laurie quieter but he’s had a long lay-off. Rosman has a lot of development to go before being considered for the firsts.

    So a diplomatic way of saying exactly what I said

    didn't think I'd say it...but in the heat of September there might be a role for the body player like Vandenberg.

    Very good game today

    Bradtke down back was interesting. Didn't do too much but didn't make any mistakes.

    Cannot see any candidate to replace Hibberd next year if needed. May need to trade for that player.

    Baker is becoming good at this level.

    Pending rest of the game, it could be something like Brown and Jones/Melk in, Sparrow and Spargo/Kozzy out.

    Spargo or Kozzi will not be getting dropped.

    Deakyn Smith is pretty handy. Might not be ready yet but he’s better than expected

    That is false on many levels. Very few experienced forwards go to the VFL and dominate. Delivery, poor windy grounds and poor quality teammates often means key forwards struggle the most at this level. We know Brown can play AFL. The questions remain over his fitness. If he’s looking strong and fit he gets a recall. Doesn’t need to kick 10 goals. 
     

    Edit: he also doesn’t need to kick 10 at senior level. He needs to take marks, compete in the air and on the lead and provide a meaningful target. Fritsch best games this year were when Brown was deep forward taking away defenders. 

    no you are wrong if you cant get kick at thet level then you not playing well,look at jones to good for the level and it stood out

    A convincing win by a side that hasn’t played for 5 weeks is much more than an ordinary win. A foolish post.

    Totally different players with different requirements for their positions.ie forwards need good delivery.

    An absolute second half goalfest. LoLo may be a stylish way to get your lockdown home delivery but the floating rear suspension is so passé. Pump up your shocks!

    Enjoyed the Browns' contributions, Mitch unfortunately out with an inopportune injury, Ben showing something up forward and Campbell would be a major improvement in the big league. Talks common sense with more than a hint of authority.

    Plenty to like about  from the guys that played, both veterans and rookies. Is Aaron Vandenberg a chance of a recall at some stage? Body and Soul player at his best.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
