    Not sure Dunstan has what it takes but Bowie want his spot back.  Baker and Chandler both looking very good.

    Stupid question but how can it possibly be called VFL. Half the teams are in NSW and QLD. Surely something like ECFL (East Coast Football League) would make sense. 

    Anyway really tough solid win in difficult conditions today, Bowser stood out and Chandler with 4 goals I’m not sure what else he has to do to get a gig in the seniors. Has to play sub next week surely, tough to dislodge Spargoat or Nibbler but he’s doing his part.

    Baker is a wet track bully! Bowey did his chances of a recall no harm. Hunt's burst plays were excellent. Dunstan keeps accumulating. Chandler has something worth investing in.

    Not prolific but did some good things in the first half.  Tackles and hunts well.  Has a bit of range and toe about him.  Seems to have a bit of class & good awareness

    Compare Baker with Langdon

    Baker amasses possessions but his disposal and positioning rarely troubles the opposition

    Totally agree. He's a great Fantasy footballer because he seagulls for cheap kicks. Hate having the ball in his hands, because he invariably makes a poor decision. He burnt JVR in the 2nd quarter by going long to the goal square with JVR on his own in the pocket. Signalled for a slow play in the last qtr, and kicked it to a Dogs player with no Casey player in sight. He's a good VFL player, and that's his level.

    Interesting that they played Baker off half-back, difficult to know if he was accountable for his opponent. 

    Hunt was not seen in that last quarter. Perhaps off to Marvel!

    Bowey full of class.

    Chandler got shut down in the second half, though showed up for the last goal. Very nice finishes.

    Now for the big show.

    This game should have been the curtain raiser?

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

    So what don't you like about the development component? It seems that players who come up to replace injured/dropped Melbourne players step right into the Melbourne game plan. Isn't that what's required? Melbourne have a deliberate polocy of not rotating players in and out of the senior side so the fact that there haven't been players coming through means absolutely nothing.

    Yes, the fact that he had only 33 possessions & 8 marks today means his positioning was terrible. It's really easy to take 8 marks when you're where the ball isn't. Casey's last line defence was terrific today and no doubt Baker was playing the role he was asked to. I agree with you about his disposal effeciency but the rest is BS. Did you watch today's game?

    BS. I'm happy to concede Baker's disposal isn't always great. And well done to highlight 2 disposal errors out of his total of 33. What did you think of the other 31 and his 8 marks? I hate it when posters make stuff up about seagulling for cheap kicks (what's that in English?). He was an important player today and his pace off the mark is crucial in providing defensive cover.

    Did you watch the game? How many junk marks did Baker take in the last qtr? He calls for 15m sideways passes from teammates. That's seagulling. But that's not how we play at AFL level. Why do you think that he's never considered for promotion even when we have players out? He's rarely named as an emergency.

    To anyone who has watched JVR closely, is he ready to be promoted to the seniors or does he still need to further develop before marking the senior’s?

    Haven't seen him play at all hence the question.

    I am a JVR supporter but he had only satisfactory impact today. Couldn't quite hold on to marks when he got his hands to it and was out positioned on occasions. Made a contribution, but not enough to warrant promotion.

    Today wasn't one of his better days, but the conditions didn't suit key forwards. We also bomb the ball in, which is our game plan, so key forwards have to earn their kicks. He didn't play as much 2nd ruck today, which I was happy about.

    Personally, I think he's ready now because he loves the contest.

    Agree it wasn't a JVR type day today.

    His positioning to mark for his one goal was very good.

    Darcy for the Bulldogs was probably more impressive so it wasn't impossible for big men.

    Next year is his time

    Very early days for Woewodin but he is showing glimpses.His 2023 VFL season will be important.

    I would come regularly to Demonland to read your posts. Had a good laugh & enjoyed your very well articulated responses to the negative hysteria we inevitably get whee we n a game is close or we lose . Posters should note that’s is  possible to get your point across without demeaning & vitriolic replies. Well done !!

    That was a great win by the Casey boys today, there were a few doggies who played in the Granny running around today and they dominated the hit outs by a fair margin, yet we still ended up with a great win. We must be doing a lot right.!!!!!

    I went to today's game snd stood behind the goals at the city end, which was the scoring end.

    Short answer is yes, if wasn't expected to be a key forward and hecame in for a handful of games. 

    But he is a bit undersized for a key position role atm I reckon. 

    That said he is just a fantastic competitor. 

    One of Chandler's goals came after jvr willed himself to the marking contest, having tracked the ball from the wing.

    He was stuffed, couldn't get to the tbe contest to matk, and had to push super hard just to get  a spoil, a smart two fist front and centre.

    And his contested mark and goal was just fantastic. 

    I love his desperation and he us the sort of player who just want to be involved in everything.

    Demands the ball too, which I love.

    Watching him live, he really reminded me of Schwartz pre knee.

    Similar size and want for the contest.

    Similar kicking style too - nice and simple and good technique.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
