Dunstan, Tomlinson and Bedford are too good for this level. Beautiful pass by Van Rooyen also. Lots of great stuff going on here. Woewodins ability to give a chop out kick across half back is also brilliant.

    And North’s best players are Hore and Tyson!!!

    Who’s keeping Tyson out of North’s side? You’d think with their form an experienced in and under mid would go alright? 
    I was sad to see Hore go, he’s got so many good elements to his game, crueller by injury and our plethora of gun defenders. 
    Jake Bell looks pretty good in the ruck, any chance of a sneaky mid-season pick?

    Dunstan is putting on a clinic!

    Jake Bell would be a perfect player to have on our list as a developing ruckman. His skills are really good.

    It’s almost embarrassing to have players like Dunstan, Tomlinson, Weed, Bedford etc at Casey. They are too good for this level.

    Tyson isn't on North Melbourne senior list anymore. Just playing in their VFL squad.

    Majak Daw dominating the ruck against Monkhurst. 

    It's laughable how easy it is for Majak today. I reckon he'd be No. 1 Ruck at about 6 AFL sides.

    Bedford does everything at pace and looks a cut above, just his finishing skills letting him down a little today which isn't normally an issue.

    JVR looks super impressive a lot of potential in this bloke and hopefully gets a game sometime this year.

    Daw dominating in the ruck but don't think his opponent is offering much of a challenge.

    Tomlinson a rock down back and ready made key position depth.

    Hope to see Laurie and Rosman more involved in the next half.

    Apart from the fact that he’s no longer a listed North player, Father Time’s also keeping him out. 😀

    I really like this broadcast.  Camera at a good height. Most of the time a reasonably wide angle vew but not so wide that players look like ants. And thankfully NO closeups of the player who has taken a mark or got a free.  Though I am at a loss as to whether the players have shaved this morning - something the Fox/7 broadcasts always keep me informed on.

    There is a genuine risk we could lose players like Bedford, Tomlinson, Daw, Laurie etc... if we are not careful. They all look easily AFL standard each week and should be playing somewhere, maybe in a team that is developing or rebuilding. Dunstan and Weideman are curious to me - why they both chose to come/stay at the Dees when they are genuine starters in other teams.

    Van Rooyen kick's h

    This boy's going to be a player. Don't want to talk him up too much but he reminds me of a young David Schwarz.

    He also reminds me of a young Jack Darling, although he’s a few centimetres taller already, back before Jack put on heaps of bulk and had a few injuries making him a little less mobile he and Van Rooyen moved almost the same way. He’s a real talent, great to be able to give him time to develop and then bring him into a champion team when he’s ready.

    Agree on the "he is going to be a player bit".

    He is really developing beautifully.

    That mark earlier was great and he is a good kick and can hurt the opposition when he attacks the ball.

    Another pre season and he could be best 22.

    Only 5 North listed players playing compared to 13 Dees listed. Casey should romp it in.

    Some observations based on how their game translates to AFL level:

    Dunstan - A class above. 

    JVR - Super impressive in the air. Always in the right position when flying for marks. Set up 2 goals at ground level also. Was beaten twice by Marty Hore at ground level in a one-on-one contest.

    Daw - If Max gets injured, Majak is ready to to go. He's getting around the ground fine.

    Weid - Is playing well, but has been out-positioned in marking contests on occasions. He doesn't have the presence of T Mac, or JVR for that matter.

    Bedford - Nice to see him starting in the midfield. Getting excellent service from Daw and Bell. Has been good, but not a standout.

    Tomlinson - Of the senior players, he's been the most disappointing. Playing loose man in the backline, he's racking up huge possessions, but defensively he's been poor. I've seen him caught out of position 4 times, two of which resulted in North goals. Then got caught holding the ball resulting in another goal.

    Baker - VFL level only.

    Of the kids, Turner has impressed. Woey and McVee look ok. Laurie, Rosman and Smith have been quiet.

    Shoutout to the commentators. Best VFL callers this year.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
