So apparently you can run OOB and just keep going as long as you're a doggy.  There's no boundary line

    Brilliant play from Baker to Hunt to Gray there.  Taking a shot now

    A very wet scrappy day.  You would think the Casey forwards would be playing mostly in front for the shanked kick ....hmmm

    3QT: Casey Demons 7.9.51 to Footscray VFL 6.6.42.

    The Demons have a 9 point lead at the last break but the skies have opened and it’s going to be hard to score in the final quarter.

    Goals Chandler 3 Grey Laurie Moniz-Wakefield Valentine

    Oskar Baker picking up a swag of kicks off half back. He has 23 touches.

    We have a deep aversion to the corridor at all levels it would seem

    I could be wrong in my assessment but I’ve found that the “Melbourne way” is boundary line style but looking for that release kick through the corridor. Hasn’t been the way for much of the year but it’s what we seemed to do well last season. Knowing and and being able to pull the trigger is so important to generating positive forward entries.

    [censored] I hope that’s not the case tonight.

    But we are a defence first team nowadays. Going via the boundary allows us to defend it more easily. Boring but that’s our set-up atm

    When you're undefeated in a reserves competition where you are developing skills I think it's not too much to ask to see a Plan B every now and then. 

    Nice mark and goal by JVR

    We are missing Mitch White, his big body and stabilising presence would help us on this kind of day.

    Van-Royen to settle us, Goal.

    Haven’t lost a game. It appears Plan A is serving us quite well.

    It's a development league remember. Winning is nice but not that important

    We have in the seniors though hbt. And its predictability is becoming seemingly easier to counter.

    They play the same as the seniors. With one way to play so it is understandable and followed. Tactics change but not your plan of playing. There is no plan B.

    • 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.

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
