To suggest Howes be promoted & play fwd shows shows the poster clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.

You have the most appropriate pseudonym on DL. 10 out of 10 for self awareness

    Re location this weekend...AFL statement on VFL finals implied home grounds, so Casey fields....but don't take that as gospel.

    Even think back to this time 2018.

    Thought we had a genuine star on our hands.

    I remember when we recruited Bbb and I thought it was going to be tough to pick a fwd line from the plethora of options. Hhmmm.

    Now we need a another big and tall forward given Tmac' s injuries and inconsistent form which may be injury related.

    Came here trying to find out the time of the game - where did they make this statement on VFL finals? Guessing it wasn’t recent?

    Why would he think his career is done at 25 and with another year on his contract?

    Last week he was outstanding in tough conditions, clearly the best tall KPP on the ground. 

    I can’t believe the footy club hasn’t already given him a solid block of training & games at CHB. 

    Bulldogs supporters were saying exactly the same things about Liam Jones and he goes to Carlton and they turn him into an AA CHB.  McCartin looked a million miles off it as a Key Forward at the Saints even when he was actually playing, now he’s in AA discussions as a Key Defender.

    Weideman is such a really good person and the Club invested so much with an early Pick, I believe it is crazy not to try everything to give him a chance at success.

     

    When we drafted Weed a recruiter at another club mention to me he thought weed would make a fantastic CHB

    You appear to have as much trouble with comprehension as you do with anger management Cranky.

    The poster wasn't advocating Howes be promoted and wasn't talking up his talents.  He was simply saying that it wouldn't hurt to try young players in different positions at Casey to see how they go.

    I don't understand why anybody would have a problem with that suggestion.

    Anger management - why I'm the most even tempered poster on Demonland.

    On re reading Paulos comment I do concede that I was wrong and he was not suggesting Howes be promoted.

    Without being unkind Weideman is probably untradeable. He struggles to get a possession at AFL level. Missed the boat with Collingwood.

    But Weideman did want to stay with us. 2 year extension was one too many. Likely he'll remain with the dees next year.

    Backup ruckman at this stage

    Silly comment of the week award. Another Demonlander creaming his pants over Howes who hasn't actually done anything yet.

    I think you just won your own award

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
