Bradtke surprised me - thought he did a pretty good job for most of the game, including some nice grabs. The backline in general was very solid. Bowey excellent first half, bit quieter in the second half. Joel Smith also very pleasing with his marking, defensive work and his kicking (!!!). 

Bradtke has been playing KPD for the past few weeks & has improved with each outing. Thought he was quite good today.

Didn’t I hear one of the commentators last week say that Bedford is probably the number one small forward in the VFL? If that’s true, then I would expect them to persevere with him for a bit longer.

I haven't seen much of Casey this year, but he just didn't seem to do much today.  Maybe I wasn't paying attention at the right times?  I saw one nice centre break from him.  Still, to me he seems to have stagnated a bit and there are a lot of players ahead of him on our list.

just finished the replay

that backline tall combo of bradtke, joel smith, and turner worked an absolute treat, plus jetta taking care of business as always

bradtke impressive behind the ball

declase is class, bowey is super promising, sparrow and melksham look ready for afl, avb is a battering ram, weed is tall and works hard but doesn't take his marks, chandler and bedford okay but nothing amazing, and could ellison be the next fritsch - undersized tall forward type?

lots to work with to keep the pressure on the senior players

RM, I would have thought that there are two, Pickett and Spargo if you look at the role he plays.

Don't have a KAYO compatible TV - Damm so missed the game.

The free footy live app on my android phone  has all the stats including disposals etc.  Best i could do.

 

If you’ve got a phone or computer to post on demonland you’ve got a device capable of watching the game

Weid, Jetta, Sparrow, Lockhart, Vanders, Melk and Joel Smith all solid enough without really providing confidence that their weaknesses at AFL level wouldn’t offset their strengths.

Bedford’s unusual in that his greatest strength might be when he comes up for clearances and provide serious burst. If he’s to get a chance at AFL level he needs to be used like that. He’s just ok otherwise.

Declase certainly worth watching.

Bowey gets frustrated when he isn’t used and whilst it looks like he reads it well enough and works hard he can fall between the lines a little. I’ll repeat the call to start using him in different spots at Casey so he can push his case.

No one smashed the door down in that game from an AFL selection perspective.

Category 1 . (Would consider) Melksham

Category 2. (Keep it up) Sparrow Baker and AVB (just)

Category 3 ( Neutral) Weid Chandler Bedford

Bradtke is starting to look like  a footballer

I think so and he is very good kick for goal. His last after the siren was from 50 out and got there  no problem.

Yes he ain't a ruckman. Still worry about his weight. Tends to get muscled out of the way   often when under the ball. Melksham is a great kick he does not need a lot of the ball to cut up opposition with great delivery.

Sorry to bore everyone but I really enjoyed watching today at the ground. First half was far from a good display and if Werribee could have kicked reasonably they may have been in the game a lot longer. Werribee have a great ground and facilities. Pity we did not have as good ( outside of Casey I mean). However any day your side wins by 9 goals is a good day.

Thanks KC and all posters great to get the feedback and judging from the comments god help us if we have some serious injuries in the Ones as it appears that we are pretty light on in the Two’s despite the good win.

I wonder if there's a bit of succession planning going on for when May retires?  Give him a couple more years to grow into his body and develop skills and we might have a new FB. 

Ok game today but has about 500% improvement to go get near May. First thing he needs is 10kg in weight.

And a big heads up for some great commentary from Demon star Libby Birch. Channel 7 should sign her up immediately and get rid of some of the boring boofheads they have on their panel!

Love listening to Daisy Pearce commentate is such a breath of fresh air.  Acutually understands the contemporary game and is able to offer some intelligent insight, compared to the usual drivel that comes out of some of the other has beens ex players and media announcer types.

I imagine listening to Libby is is similar.

It's about time some of the sub par comentators are put out to pasture.  Seems like some of them get given a job for life based on who they are and the profile they establish for themselves rather than how well they actually perform.

Typical VFL game where the AFL listed players wear down the VFL players and scoot away on the scoreboard. Thought Melksham and Déclassé were the best if needed. Bowey strong first half then quiet second. Would love to see Bedford and Chandler do more to put some pressure on to play a fourth speed forward but they are a long way off it.

Unfortunately for us, it could well work out that the lack of oppertunity for Bedford the to Kossie, ANB, Spargo etc could see him and perhaps Chandler end up at other AFL lists and thrive, without us getting much trade compo in return.  I wouldn't begrudge either of those guys for doing that (unless they went to Collingwood, Carlton or Essendon) as it must be really frustrating to be so close to the mark, but denied oppertunity to develop and perform at the top level.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
