Strangely enough, Collingwood who sit second on the ladder and have already had one bye this year, are having their second bye this round as well.

    Ones and Casey both undefeated.

    If Melb have big win today they may end up with a better percentage than Casey.

    Just saying.

    As a result of the bye, Frankston YCW was able to welcome back its young gun Roan Steele who has been playing with the Casey Demons. Steele booted six goals to help his team defeat Sorrento by 53 points in their Divisions of the Mornington Nepean Football League game at the weekend.

    He seems like a raw talent with huge amount of potential. Having watched a few Casey (all live streamed) he's certainly got a few AFL quality traits that would hold up well at AFL.

    I would be wrapped if we were able to snare him through the rookie draft. It's blokes like Steele that would thrive in a full time AFL environment same way as what Bayley Fritsch who was also a very raw prospect when he first started put at Casey back in 2015.

    Trained a couple of times with the MFC squad over the pre season so they're certainly keeping an eye on him.

    Luca Goonan injured his shoulder on the weekend playing for Frankston YCW.  He’ll be out of the Casey line-up for several weeks.  Noted that he’s at the bottom end of the Casey list, but thought it worth noting.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
