Only quarter by quarter updates on Casey Facebook.  No photos. Old 2022 pics.
Only news is Tigers won by a point. No mention on the Casey action or goals or players. Very low key social media at Casey.  Twitter update was left at qtr time score.  It’s very very poor.  Not sure if it’s a lack of interest or a lack of capability. Unfortunately  I think the former.

My major criticism of the merger of the Casey Scorpions into the property of the Melbourne Football Club was the destruction of the club that was once a separate entity with a heart and soul of its own. If the Casey Demons was still a club that treasured its community involvement in the local area and its wider catchment, there would be so many additional benefits accruing. One of those things would be the fact that there would be no shortage of supporters coming to games and telling the world how their local team was traveling and which of their players was doing well and which was having a bad day - even in practice matches. Instead, we get nothing.

I have no idea how JVR performed yesterday but there is vision on YouTube of him taking an imposing clunk at half forward at the Southern end in yesterday’s game.

Something to look forward to at AFL level.

Went looking and if it's the same video I watched, shot off a smart phone, there wasn't a whole lot of vision but did have that impressive mark and also JvR slotting two set shots. The filmer, a well known demon fan, then states Schache was probably in the bests with 5 goals.

Not sure if I'm allowed to link these sorts of videos but you can find it easily on YouTube.

JvR improved as day went on..some impressive "clunks".

Schache let himself down when, with less than a goal in it, with the ball in contest in their forward half, he thought he would protest the absence of a free kick to him, rather than compete for the ball. Richmond possession.

Casey players:

Burgoyne did similar to Schache early in game when he nonchalantly jogged along behind a ball that looked like it might go out. It didn't. Richmond waltz in, grab it and goal.

Goonan competed very well. As always, Munro in it all day. Mitch White was missed and is needed back in team. George Grey injured early, little impact but very clever goal late in game. Roan Steele competed quite well, marred by a sloppy return of ball to a Richmond player which resulted in a 50m penalty to tigers and a goal.

Team will improve on that performance.

Great to see. Love practice game atmosphere.  Very relaxed.  Fans get to see their heroes. Youngsters getting photos and autographs and high 5s.  

I remember Peter Giles parked his car next to us down at Edithvale during a practice game in about 1980. He jumped the fence after the game and had a quick chat to my family and I before saying he was off to a friends birthday party. No post game debrief in those days.

Sounds like the new coach has to work on some discipline issues early in his coaching stint. There were too many slip ups in that brief resume, any one of which could have been avoided and might have changed the result given that it was a 1 point game in the end.

Poor form of Schache given he’s fighting for a place at AFL.

Im still of the opinion and sorry to the Springvale faithful out there, that the AFL need to reinvest in the old Reserves comp. Get rid of anyone not aligned to an AFL Club and this will also put paid to the PATHETIC VFL Match fixturing.

I think you're right simply because it's a no contest these days between a team that has say 16 full time AFL players in it vs a non aligned club with after work footballers. Mind you the Sharks seemed to do okay.

It was different when teams like Port Melbourne had money that allowed them to attract NQR AFL players.

Would love to hear some in depth discussion from those responsible for the competition as to what they are trying to achieve from it by bringing in the non aligned clubs. Is it simply to give a little exposure to the next rung of players. If so it's a very cumbersome method

How did the rest of the Melbourne list go? The bloke on the video said Schache kicked 5.

Interesting to see @Bystandermwntion one moment in which Schache has let himself and the team down, but absolutely no credit for his 5 goals. Sounds like he went alright and contributed much to the team’s performance, kicking half the total team goals.

Southport do “ok” due to money money and money. They attract players from other states. And guess where they get the money from ? Yes it’s the Clubs pokies !! I heard they have 300 machines. That’s how they compete.  I’d rather they stuck to QAFL and we get back to true VFL.

Understand but I thought the non aligned clubs had a salary cap that was not too flash.

A little more transparency would not go astray

Again I make the point which all the brain power in D/L fail to consider that Casey are not the same as Lions Tigers etc who are within  that AFL  Club wholly. 

Until The two groups get together and it is arranged that some one will organise that a report be placed or forwarded to us for placement on the MFC website it's not going to get any priority,  Or a member of "Melb media" does it.

Very fair comment. I should have acknowledged the 5. But the incident I spoke of was within a couple of minutes of final siren.

There were quarterly score updates on the Casey Demons facebook page, but nothing else. Really poor from both clubs when they should be taking every opportunity to promote themselves ahead of a new season.

Also, I wonder how much money Casey lost by running out of beer on the weekend.

I think MFC had 15-16 players in the Casey game yet no updates.  That’s the disappointing part.  The only news so far is from the “unofficial” update being that Schache kicked 5.    Hoping either the Casey or MFC media get a summary or wrap or some player highlights.

All this emphasises how valuable KC from Casey has been over the years. 

Totally agree- been a marvel, and very much appreciated by ALL.But sometimes, we take these sought of things for granted, But,KC- many thanks indeed.

100% agree. I think you create the 'Eastern Football League', which is essentially just the reserves teams for each of the afl teams. Start the season at the same time and have it run almost identical in length etc to the AFL. It's a shamozzle atm and some players have multiple byes and unable to stake their claim for a spot.

    BACK TO BASE CAMP by Meggs

    Congratulations to the Brisbane Lions.   Undefeated in all 6 matches against the top teams (North Melbourne, Adelaide, Geelong, and Melbourne). They are worthy winners of the 2023 AFLW premiership.   Our ambition for a Season 8 back-to-back premiership was derailed.   In round 6 Adelaide spilled the beans on the template to outplay us. From there news spread fast to other top teams who applied similar intense physical pressure at the source which crushed our gameplan to execute vi

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.
