CASEY: Grand Final vs Southport

WERRIDEE
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Interesting watching the Casey today. Who plays well, who struggles, who is AFL standard, who is not etc...

You would think Turner, JVR , Bedford and Chandler look AFL standard and ready to go. Also interesting to keep my eye on Woewodin who looked very composed at times but probably a year away from being ready. Weideman, too, looks too good at times, but again, even when it was dry, he dropped marks that hit his hands clean. Disappointing. But his ruck work was really good against 

White, Chandler, Dunstan, Melksham and Munro were outstanding today.

    Extraordinary bro love and hugs for Weideman. 

    Do the players think he is leaving?

    Would love to be able to use him in the seniors in a new role.

    Maybe, although maybe they just appreciate his match winning effort against Crossley in the wet.

    Shame jay Lockhart was playing for the sharks. Thought he was good enough to be on an AFL list.

    Good for Casey, but for the sake of Melbourne we can’t carry so many experienced fringe players and VFL players chewing up important minutes.

    Casey’s first priority is to develop afl players and that needs to be reinforced next year.

    This team is full of AFL listed young players. The only player who wasn’t there today was Rosman and he’s concussed. 
    I just don’t understand what you mean by carrying so many experienced fringe players. That’s not a Casey decision that’s a Melbourne decision. Of course Casey will play M Brown and Melksham if they’re available.

    Never said it was Casey’s decision. Carrying Brown, Baker and others on the list was a waste of list spots. And Munro, White, Dunstan and Grey playing most of the midfield minutes is someone’s decision.

    Its hard work watching Melbourne young players stuck in peripheral roles. 

    They finally gave Weid a job of holding the number 1 ruck spot and he has developed more in 4 weeks than in the last 4 years.

    They really deserved the flag this year. This team has been a joy to watch.

    They never give up and really work well together.

    We've got some good ones in there.

    A good coach too by the looks.

    I think Corey Ellison might get a gig at AFL next year.  Very solid defender who also went very well up forward when needed during the season.

    Having the best seconds team bodes well for the seniors over the next 3 years at least. Nice

    Last year's draftees and Laurie (who was injured most of his first year) look like they have put on quite a bit of bulk this year.

    I would be very surprised if most of them don't get a go next year.

    We just have to trade out a few of the incumbants.

    Brown and Dunstan are direct replacements for our afl players.  younger players arn't going to come into the AFL side and if they do they arn't going to play in the midfield.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
