CASEY BY HALF by The Night Watchman

It was no walk in the park in the night for the highly ranked Casey Demons who ventured to Williamstown for their first away encounter on Saturday night. The winless Seagulls put up stout resistance throughout the game after a slow start and their first half was outstanding.

The Demons lifted their intensity after trailing at half time and it was their superior fitness and class late in the game that gave them a flattering 100-65 result.

Early on, it looked like it was going to be a cakewalk as goals to Van Rooyen, White and Laurie saw the Demons off to a flyer with a 19-0 lead after less than ten minutes. But the Seagulls rallied over the next ten minutes to snatch the lead before Moniz-Wakefield and White again gave Casey a two goal buffer at quarter time. 

Williamstown came out in the second full of running and shut down their opponents for most of the term to go in at half time with an unexpected 1 point lead. It was certainly not the scenario that Casey fans were expecting.

It was only after the break that the Casey boys regained composure and took control of the game. Van Rooyen put them back in front and Chandler added to the lead after a well-earned free kick. Majak Daw’s conversion after a terrific pack mark had the Demons three goals up before the Seagulls offered some light resistance which was torpedoed by late goals to Woewodin and Munro before the last change which put the Demons 21 points ahead with the opposition tiring. 

In the end, the Demons worked their way to a comfortable 35 point win with a couple of late goals to Ben Brown and a second to the nippy Moniz-Wakefield.

Overall it was a satisfactory result with nobody really starring for Casey as the team did its business in a workmanlike manner. It was probably Rosman’s best game at the club. Petty and Ellison stood firm in defence and Dunstan was steady in the middle. Daw worked tirelessly in the ruck. A number of young players flashed in and out of the play and are gaining valuable experience to bank away for the future but none are ready to step up to the big time tomorrow.

The Casey Demons return home next Sunday for an assignment against league improvers Coburg and will need to be on the ball for more than half a game if they are to deliver the goods and retain their unbeaten record.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
