Half Time: Casey Demons 7.2.44 to Coburg 3.7.25

Goals: Muley 2 Baldi Briggs Cross Sheridan Woodhouse

Coburg wasted a lot of opportunities in that quarter and should be much closer. 

Shepherd playing a great game in defence for the Demons.

    Great work again @KC from Casey. Appreciate the coverage for the reigning premiers, not that it seems to have been deemed worthy for melbournefc.com.au to provide updates.

    Bunch of country league youngsters   
     

    More like a development squad. 
     

    Casey has about 12 VFL listed players missing and NONE of the AFL listed players. 

    Shepherd is definitely a player.

    The Lions certainly kicked themselves out of the game. They hit the post a couple of times and missed a few easy shots at goal. Basically, as a hit out, it didn’t really achieve much for Casey - a few players staked a claim for a place but competition for places is going to be tight.

    So out of the Casey players the players that played last week were Sheridan, Grass, Baldi, Cross, Freeman and Valentine

     

    So last weeks team was

    B: D.Smith, D.Turner, Buntine

    HB: Hibberd, Tomlinson, Freeman

    C: Howes, Jordon, Burgoyne

    HF: Sestan, van Rooyen, K.Turner

    F: Moniz-Wakefield, Schache, Jefferson

    FOLL: Verrall, Munro, Goonan

    IC: Farris-White, Steele, Grey, Sheridan, Grass, Baldi, Cross, Valentine

     

    I think Valentine kicked a goal against Richmond not Schache so Schache had 4, van Rooyen 2 and singles to Valentine, Grey, Jefferson and Verrall.

    Thanks KC.    Do Casey have a seconds side or the 30 odd players that miss out just go back to their other leagues.  How did Ned Moodie go

    No, Casey don’t have a seconds side. Players who don’t make the Casey team usually go back to their local side.

    Lions on that showing should incrementally improve this season. But a competitive practice match against the Casey ‘seconds’ doesn’t inspire too much confidence of a climb out of the basement.

    Casey boys certainly worked with prevailing conditions and took their opportunities better than Coburg.

    A few observations on individual players thru red and blue glasses.

    Jack Bell;  mobile competed manfully supported his team mates 

    Riley Baldi; impressed last season in his appearances at Casey. Showed grunt in tight as a inside mid-fielder.

    Cooper MacDonald; backline sweeper who read the play well. 

    Paddy Cross; provided defensive pressure on opponents and gave plenty of rebound. 
     
    Miles Shepherd; utility who was prominent in defence first half, swung into attack second half and hit the scoreboard.

    Rhys Galvin; stood up in defence with his intercept marking.

    Wal Wual; athletic player who covers the ground panther like. Still raw but involved in a play of the match nomination. Gathered the loose ball in a congested situation btw centre and CHB and laterally scythed thru traffic to commence a scoring chain which resulted in a Casey goal. An impressive cameo.

    A tantalizing prospect with a double twist. Firstly the dress rehearsal out west at E J Whitten Oval. Not unlike dancing with the wicked step sisters, (Mitch and Sauce). Followed by the the season opener at the Casey Vegas floor show. Question is will Friterella make a guest appearance at the gala ball up!?

    Must say I don't understand the need for all the byes unless it is driven by the need to reduce travelling by interstate teams and thus keeping costs down. With the ten Melbourne based AFL teams and the non aligned Melbourne teams (around 6 if I recall) there are ample teams for a twenty round season with no byes between the Melbourne teams alone.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
