Few senior players braving the conditions in the stands including Dogga. For a guy seemingly on the way out he does still seem very invested. 

He is an odd unit. Very active on the Instagram reposting Melbourne stuff too. 
Has he checked out? Or is he genuinely just vague?

It is indeed


Great goal Smith. I would seriously consider bringing him to play as a “tall” forward. He could cause some chaos, which is bad in the backline but could be good up forward. 

Smith is having a great game so far, he’s second efforts and forward pressure is something I wish for weids to have. 
If he continues to have a great game then he needs to come in next week. We need something different up forward

Brought in by Casey apparently when Daw retired, but had a calf injury I believe so this is his first game.

Smith’s work rate has been fantastic, unlucky not to get a free kick then.

You better get the ok from Demonland first

Yes we do. JVR is showing nothing in this game. So yes, Smith.

Tomlinson and Bowey are a class above this level.


Harmes looks like a VFL player in the AFL, and a VFL player in the VFL

Bring in Howes instead

The Blues hit the front in the shadows of half time.

Half Time: Casey Demons 3.7.25 Carlton 4.2.26

Goals Blake Brown J Smith

Disposals Harmes 18 White 14 Bowey Munro 12 Tomlinson 11 Buntine 10

Edited by KC from Casey

If you ever want to a game that illustrates:

a) the value of small forwards

b) the reason not to pack a team with ordinary talls

c) Why Harmes is in the 2’s

then this is it 

Interesting first half.

The conditions don't suit forwards today, but having watched the first half pretty closely the pick out of the forwards has been Joel Smith. His work rate has been impressive.


 

Harmes and Dunstan can’t get any separation at the clearances. Laurie (stuck forward) and White should be given the hit outs. 

Umpires rob us a goal from sheer panic. Maybe evens up the Smith one from the first quarter

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
