Casey Demons leading Coburg by 3.0.18 to 1.3.9 at Quarter Time.

Goals: Cross Muley Sheridan

Meanwhile, Casey’s Twitter site still stuck at quarter time in the Richmond game.

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.

East Gippsland All Stars v Coburg. 
 

“Casey” team full of youngsters. 

Coburg have a catchy theme song

 

Three quarter time: Casey Demons 8.3.51 somehow still lead Coburg 6.12.48

Goals: Muley 2 Baldi Briggs Cross Shepherd Sheridan Woodhouse

 

Is the Cross boy from anyone we know.

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. 

Close game alert - scores level at 15 minutes.

Casey win by 8 points

Casey Demons 3.0.18 7.2.44 8.3.51 10.7.67

Coburg 1.3.9 3.7.25 6.12.48 7.17.59

Goals: Muley 3 Sheridan 2 Baldi Briggs Cross Shepherd Woodhouse

Those young Lions were definitely wayward

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.

Thanks KC greatly appreciated the kids did well to stay with Coburg, accuracy certainly helps.!!!

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.

UNBELIEVABLE… yes saw that this morning.  

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.

SATURDAY, MARCH 18

Footscray VFL v Casey Demons (Skinner Reserve, Braybrook, 2.30pm, 4x25min)

To answer any queries about Casey this weekend (it will be hot)!

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!?

Interesting last 7 rounds, 4 away, 1 home and 2 byes.

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.
