Very very hard to watch. Werribee can't buy a goal. About 5 missed chances at this end for the quarter. I have finally seen the score board sitting on the ground!

 

Baker's disposal has been rubbish all game.

good lead, mark and goal to weid 

 

35 - 18 casey lead at half time 


Half Time: Casey extended its lead to 17 points but this has been a horrible game of footy. The Demons have dominated inside 50s but their forwards have often been closed down by the Tigers defence. 

Casey Demons 5.5.35 Werribee Tigers 2.6.18

Goals Weideman 2 Chandler Grey Munro

Disposals Melksham 15 Bowey 13 Baker Sparrow Weideman 10

Bite the bullet and train Bowey up as a winger

I can only think he is yet to build the tank to play wing at AFL level - that two way running that say Langdon does is not easy

How is Bowey’s pace?

Has speed - both running and with disposal. No doubt he is a good footballer just need to find the right spot / right time 

Standard is ordinary but I am enjoy a real game for a change. Casey should be double their score. But Tigers are playing good defence.

Decent without being lighting. His strengths are elite kicking, decision making and composure.

As an established player, he’s most similar to Caleb Daniel and the clubs developing him in a similar half back rebounding role. At underage level he was a half forward/wing/midfielder. He’s definitely versatile and we’ll love his kicking skills in future if he’s paired up with Salem off halfback!

Mitch Robinson like squeal whenever he is in space and demanding the ball. Can see why they don't always honour it.

Love Bowey’s game and Declase and Turner look to be handy additions. 

Weideman looks good at this level but there’s very little fire power or marking strength up forward or pressure to keep the ball inside 50.

They lost last week when the Giants played the same type of defensive game. They need to step up a gear - especially those striving to break into the Melbourne team.

He’s a cross between Salem and Hunt in terms of pace and skill. Great balance and makes good decisions. Only issue at AFL will be height. Half back is his spot IMO. 

Rosman with an ice pack on the bench. Very high up, inner/rear thigh. Hamstring?


Ice on Rosman’s hammy.
 

Backline struggling one on one, midfield need to lift and put this one away 

 

Werribee playing way better than us this quarter should be in front, poor kicking for goal is costing them.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
