CASEY: Rd 01 vs Sandringham

VFL: Corrigan keen for season of growth

“But Casey is already looking forward to giving opportunities to its younger brigade, including Roan Steele (Frankston YCW), Tyler Edwards (Rowville) and Matthew Buntine (GWS).”

‘Then we’ve got players like Roan Steele and Tyler Edwards who we are more than happy to see become their replacements.’

.…

Alongside the ever-reliable group of mature players including James Munro, Mitch White, Jack Bell and Aidan Quigley, Corrigan has plenty to be opportunistic about when he throws in the likes of AFL recruits Blake Howes and Taj Woewodin.

‘Both Blake and Taj have been super in their pre-season and haven’t missed a beat,’ Corrigan said.

‘In each practice match they’ve showed continual development and progression in their roles - we’re not putting a ceiling on where they can get to by the end of the year.’

I think Edwards was 51 and Steele 54.

Taj sounds like a natural footballer that isn't highly touted in the draft due to lack of a 'weapon' that ends up turning into a gun 

The talk out of the pre season seems to all lean on Taj and Howes to lesser extent as the first year player most likely to debut. 

Mark Williams talked him up at a VFL function the other night and Riley Beveridge had him as a likely player that could debut early this season.

Taj and Howe really do excite me from watching absolutely no live games of either.

With Taj, it is easy to forget his father’s story - which was, recruiters did not think he had enough talent and he was getting overlooked, but by sheer determination to make the most out of what he had, he forced his way into our list and ultimately to a Brownlow medal. Equally, with Taj, he was not seem to be particularly talented but he is obviously making the most of everything he has.

16 AFL listed. 
Casey’s defence obviously looks weak with us missing 4 premiership defenders in the AFL !!! Loss of Hutchins also reduces their key defender stocks.  Strange they didn’t look to bring in another key defender from the suburban leagues over the summer.

Buntine not playing hurts. Is Milford our CHB? Doubt McVee will be CHB. He didn't play last week so I know nothing about him.

I thought Brock Smith (delisted by Lions) was a good option for Casey this year and one still to watch. Not sure where he is playing in 2022. Was a strong rebound defender in 2019 drafted at pick 33 by Lions (captained Gippsland Power in 2019) . Showed some good parts in NEAFL comp but obviously not enough to remain on the list.

Looking forward to this game at 1.05 today. Streaming on AFL website & app. Sandringham were mid-table last year but don't know how they recruited over Summer.

The good thing for those who can't watch it live is it looks like the full replay will (eventually) make it on to the AFL website. l checked Friday's VFL games yesterday and only the highlights were up but as of this morning the full replays were there.

Very interested to see how Weed, Brown, JVR, Bedford and Chandler go

It's a pity it is on Sunday as any player in contention won't be able to play 4 quarters and then play friday night you wouldn't think?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
