A few Southport supporters on Facebook going off that we stacked the team with AFL players and cheated haha

I guess they didn’t read the rules before they joined the VFL

    The fact that there's a Gold Coast based reserves level footy club with enough passionate fans to accuse the other side of cheating on social media is a feel good moment for the national game!

    Good win Casey. Glad to hear the seniors were all there to support them. Premierships are special at any level.

    Southport should be in the AFL instead of the Suns. Actual club with history, established supporter base and jumper that doesn't induce nausea.

    Great win. 
    Great season 

    Congratulations to everyone at Casey Demons 

    🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

    Tough conditions but the team had warriors all over the park.  

    Chandler and Dunstan were in and under the packs all day. Melksham 4 goals was a match winning effort.
    JVR good in tough conditions for a key forward.  Weid in the ruck was ok against a bigger bodied opponent (break even probably). Oskar Baker (in probably his last game at the Dees) was also in the best, with his kicking and running all day.  
    White (BOG) and Munro are absolutely hard nuts. Munro 17 tackles and a goal.  Wow the emotion. 
    A special mention for Daniel Turner’s two smothers in the dying minutes (with the game already won) were excellent.  His determination and aggression will be good for MFC next year.  
     

    Casey - a great year. Reward for the stalwarts and development of the youngsters.  Job done.

    Southport Sooks.  It’s the VFL and they’re lucky to be even included.

    Some turn flag would probably say Melksham's 4 goals were the difference and it was unfair that he played. Sooky lala

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

    Their first priority is to win the premiership of the competition they are in.

    This is the best reserves system we have currently. I'm sure teams would rather have their own reserves teams like the old days but it is simply not feasible at this time.

    We align with a VFL club, a good one mind you with a history of their own. Work alongside each other, they make it work pretty well.

    I really love the way Chandler moves he's agile and able to turn quickly in short spaces. I hope like hell we hang onto him in 23 and for gods sake play him. I think he's ready to go.

    Did anyone follow Howes' performance today? Did he show anything to suggest that even though his stats were ordinary, he was able to apply some pressure to the opposition?

    He’s a classy mover but as a 18yo lean lad, conditions were not in his favour.  In and under contested footy is not him.  Missed 13 weeks due to his injury so getting him back on the park was a bonus. A full pre season ahead with extra gym work.

    Congrats to Mitch White on a ripper game and the Norm Goss medal. Thoroughly deserved.

    Also, I couldn't be happier for Jimmy Munro, deserved a flag for his years of effort.

    I loved Kade Chandler's game too.

    Terrible conditions for a tallish running rookie player today.  Wouldn't be placing much emphasis on how he's likely to go just on today.

    Good summary, some great performances by the AFL listed guys. As for Munro, he had had more tackles than most players had possessions!

    Have to say Weid played well. I am not a fan but credit where credit is due, he took on a much bigger opponent and at least broke even. He could possibly do that at senior level

    I'm going off his whole season of VFL footy. Averaged 18 touches and nearly 2 goals a game. Always played with intent and the pressure we need. Should have been rewarded more often.

    Ran all day and got into good defensive spots. It didn’t go to his wing. Great tank considering he was out for a lot of the season. Didn’t disgrace himself, the ball just didn’t get to him as he kept his width.

    Really glad I braved the conditions, rejecting the temptation to stay in front of the fire and watch it on the telly, to see Casey win the flag. Well done boys!

    Weeds looking good, milkshake classy and JVR, Turner, woewodin, and Laurie, promising.

    We were among Southport supporters, who despite being unprepared for the artic conditions were great barrackers- passionate and mostly knowledgeable.

    I went along to watch live. Turner definitely AFL ready. JvR has the necessary skills to play AFL next year.  - add strength as well.  He is very good close in contested situation goty the ball out a few times. Is mobile and can fly. Thrives on physical contact. He walked past us after the Presentation. TMc was right JvR is built like a Tank with a bit of zip. Another pre season and watch out.

    Woey looks like he could be a good AFL player. Did some good things.

    T Mc was at the presentation. Did anyone notice whether he seemed to be inured - foot???

    Had a great day at Ikon park cheering on the boys today. Sat in the pavilion amongst the MFC players and coaches. Was terrific to see so many senior boys there. Despite inclement weather, and playing an interstate team in a state based competition 🤨, there was a good turnout. 
     

    JVR didn’t hit the scoreboard and it’s a terrible day for a KPF, but man can that kid hit a pack, leap, and back up at ground level. Loved what I saw in-person.

     

    Kade Chandler (Chin) was absolutely superb. I was actually surprised he didn’t win the Goss medal. 
     

    Loved the goal from Taj Woewodin. Was some of the cleanest play all day. 
     

    Disco Turner looks ready to play in our backline next year. 
     

    There was a lot of love for Sauce Baker from the MFC boys, but I thought he continued to fail to execute with his disposal. 
     

    Jimmy Munro is a complete nut! Tough as nails and is so uncompromising. I wish an AFL club would give him a shot. 
     

    Melksham was very good. Glad for him to finish his career on a high. Maybe he will get a lifeline at a bottom AFL club. 
     

    Thought Joel Smith was very good in defence too. Particularly in the second half.

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
