I don’t love the way he plays but they really missed Jimmy Munro today. 6 day break after a slog in the wet probably a factor too. 
 

The time to win the game was the back half of the second when they had the scoring end and momentum and they gave it all back

Very disappointing.  Casey looked lethargic, some of them completely disinterested at times.  Nobody put a hand up for a senior gig imo, and that includes several who had a real opportunity to stake a claim.

Was thinking the same thing but for most the promotion bus passed by around 3-4 weeks ago.

Not convinced there was anyone really staking a claim from the Casey side today. JJ’s the only one who’s been a first choice part of the side and he played a very JJ game.
 

The sub role and depth spots are up for grabs I guess

Fair point, but there's still a sub role potentially up for grabs, as well as possible injury replacements (heaven forbid).

jj and jvr the only ones staking their claim today

plugger mac back for minimum three quarters next week

Agree ......... our AFL team is probably close to settled right now (barring injury). I thought JVR was good for a half (leaving the other potential KPFs in his wake).  JJ looked quite proppy to me.

Agree

Also Chandler and Bedford will look back on that VFL bye followed by presumably covid the next week and wonder...what if.

Wonder if Salem will play VFL next week (hopefully good weather)

Weideman has been poor at best. Looks like a man who knows his career is done

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.

Don’t disagree but when you have May, Petty & Lever as A grade key defenders and Tomlinson as a very good backup , it’s hard to see why or how we would try the Weid as a CHB.

JVR, was good.

Agree JVR was good for a half, and our best KPF by a long way. 

Weid, M.Brown and J.Smith should have shown a lot more today, just to stake a claim as 'next cab off the rank' should they be needed.  Weid probably holds pole position for that role right now, but gee .........

My view is that players should be playing other roles at VFL level than their natural position. Not all the time but say one half every two games.

The VFL comp is not about winning it's about discovering and developing players. Winning is very much second.

Reminds me of the medal they used to give to the best VFL reserves player prior to the AFL. A commentator said it's a good medal to win but you never want to win it twice.

Well, you might consider moving Petty forward.

Heavens forbid, the two Adelaide teams realise they should be offering Petty 5 years on big money as opposed to Isaac Rankine and we lose him.

May & Lever are getting older and could be better managed.

I’m not convinced that Tomlinson is very good back up.

And finally, if he succeeds at CHB, his trade value would be greater if that's what ends up happening.

Was definitely one of the best players on the day and handy in patches but not sure he played THAT well GW.

Still a few question marks surrounding execution/decision making with ball in hand IMHO as well as positioning at the contests.  Continues to get pushed off the ball relatively easily at times as well.

He's a pretty solid, reasonably experienced fella that just doesn't hit in hard enough / impose himself often enough (even at that level) for mine.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
