Howes is clean with his pick ups and moves beautifully. He will be a ripper when he gets strong enough to play AFL. 

He evoked memories of Rob Flower for me. His build, and his ball handling.

Big call, because I too remember how he drew me to the fence in the outer.

 

GREY INTO WHITE by KC from Casey

The rains came as predicted to Casey Fields on Sunday along with a fair lashing of wind that made for the type of game that you expect in such inhospitable conditions - a grim, dour festival of scrappy football made for strong-bodied sides such as the undefeated competition leaders. And so it came to pass that the Casey Demons were able to trample over Carlton’s VFL side in the final half of their Round 21 match up to maintain their undefeated record for 2022.

The victory under grey skies was a perfect 100 VFL game milestone outcome for skipper Mitch White Mitch who has been a stalwart for the club since making his debut for Casey in 2015. White amassed 21 kicks and 8 handballs and laid 8 tackles to share best on ground honours with James Harmes (35 disposals) on a day that was made for players of their ilk. Another veteran, James Munro was also in his element in the tough early going along with ruckman Jake Spencer, the big man having been seconded into duty after playing suburban football for most of this year. 

Fittingly, the opening goal of the game was scored by yet another veteran in Mitch Brown very early in the opening stanza with the Blues responding with theirs late in the term. Casey threatened in the first half of the second quarter with goals to Blake Howes and Joel Smith but the more accurate Carlton was not to be denied and staged a three goal comeback to lead by a point at half time. 

The home team was missing its main running players in Bedford and Chandler and their inaccuracy was hurting them. Scoring was tough but a Sam Weideman shot for goal looked good before it was declared to be touched. Weideman was in the thick of things all day and his efforts, though unrewarded in terms of goals, was noticeable on the day. Casey inched past the Blues with point after point before the hardworking Bailey Laurie broke the goal scoring deadlock inside time on. He was rewarded for a perfect tackle when he slotted through a difficult set shot that gave his team a 9 point lead at the final break. 

The Blues had been totally smothered in the wet during the third quarter scoring only a single point but they refused to go away with a goal four minutes into the final term raising some flutters in the Demon camp as the minutes ticked by with neither side able to trouble the scorers. In the end, it was a couple of youngsters in Roan Steele and Jake Bowey who came to the fore with two more goals and Casey emerged from the grayness of a cold, wet day with a 16 point victory and its 17th on the trot, a fitting outcome for the skipper’s 100th game.

The game was Casey’s last home and away match for the season as they travel to Brisbane next week for thir final round game against second placed Lions Reserves at Moreton Bay Central Sports Complex on Saturday morning.

Weid’s first half was really ordinary, so many times caught out of position. His second half at chf, hitting up at the ball and using his frame to protect the ball was very good.

Buntine was probably best on at half time then faded out. Bowey maybe the best 4 quarter player.

Howes and Laurie both showed they are a class above, they just need to work on their deficiencies and physically develop 

Surprised you didn't mention White here DS.  Thought he had the most impact and probably BOG on the day.

Decent second half from the Weid given the conditions and his size but his decision making, finish by foot and at goal is still a fair way off replacing anyone at AFL level IMV.

Harmes involved in plenty but (lacking power/drive away from contest ....legs/fitness?) is trying to fend off way too often and ended up getting caught a fair bit.

Very difficult conditions for everyone though.

Bell didn't play too bad on a few occasions and even big Spencil got involved a few times in the second half!

Howes probably the cleanest all day and showing some very good signs.

Dunstan's last quarter was very good.  Another quarter or two like that and i'd say he would've been a half chance to come in this week.

17 on the trot....crazy good effort from the boys.

His skills just don’t suit our game style. He isn’t a bad footy player, he just isn’t a pack busting, contested marking forward that we need/want him to be. 

He would be serviceable at a number of clubs that have faster ball movement. 

Did you actually watch the game? He crashed multiple packs and took multiple contested marks from doing so.

JVR was horrible. 

What you see is what you get from Harmes, you know you are going to get 110% every single time no matter what jumper he's wearing.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
