    I watched every Casey game and recorded them for my research. Somebody must have been playing well down back! The average score against Casey for home and away, plus finals, was just over 56 points... less than 10 goals! Only one oppo player got off the chain across the season; Evans kicked 5 v Geelong. Only four oppo players managed 3 goals against Casey across the rest of the season. In 5 games the highest opposition goalkicker was a single goal!

    I think Tomlinson played 14 games for Casey. In those outings he was the Rock around which the full defence was built. Undervaluing his contribution to the VFL Premiership is mean spirited! Should he be kept on the list? Should he be playing for an AFL club in 2023? Time will tell, but his form in 2022 was solid.

    Dunstan, Baker, Mitch Brown, Munro, White…Casey was loaded with experienced footballers who contribute to winning. There’s a big difference between that and playing AFL level footy. 
     

    Tomlinson’s positioning, work rate, skills were all really good in helping Casey win. When it came to other aspects of his game he was a mile off and at no stage did it really look anything like it was improving.

    I don’t know what he’ll be like next year, hopefully much better, but he was the key defensive version of Oskar Baker this year. Did a lot right but didn’t look like an afl player

    Looks nice running in a straight line...

    So he was a good contributor?? Yeah?.

    Tomlinson would do ok with any of Lever, May, Gawn, Petty, Salem and co playing our zone/position full ground press/defence. 
     

    Baker would not and never has

     

    Still think our defence would cope without him and Bruce would be a better type for type and strengthen our weakness in the forward line

    Short Memories. 
    Played some excellent games for us before his knee popped 

     

    Yep, before he injured his knee was ranked number 1 in the AFL for winning 1 on 1 marking contests.

    Another club may be interested but we may have to pay part of his wage.

    Clue, please?

    Kind of hope we hang onto him now, don't want to see him used in a Hunter trade.

    Welcome home Adam Tomlinson you provide great depth and if all goes well you may enable Petty to be tried forward or at worst you can come in for May, Petty or Rick if any are injured or out of form. Hope you have a great pre-season and get full confidence back in your leg, 2023 is going to be a huge year and we will need all of our experience, stamina and luck to finish top four again. Glad that you are still with us.!!!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
