Trust the umps to keep Tatura in the game.

The thing about Tatura is they always try and walk it in.

    Looks like they might have received a swag bag delivery from the club that most likely included the jumper Oliver is wearing so they could take a photo for the socials and it might have also included that scarf. Or either they or a friend are Dees supporters and they supplied the scarf.

    That is a lovely shot of Oliver and his mum and as someone already mentioned he could become an MFC folklore legend.!!!

    Good pick up. Most would not notice it.

    Possibly, it was one of the first things I saw though.

    I remember watching JT's comments before the rookie draft.  Said we were looking at 1-2 players, and it would depend on who was available.  Clearly, we had some interest in Sestan, but if he was off the table we wouldn't have picked up another rookie.  

    Might need to cool our jets a bit.  Guy looks like he could be a great get, but lets see him play a couple of games at Casey first.  If he wasn't on anyone's radar, there might be some growth needed. 

    While everyone is understandably focusing on his Mansfield performances, it looks like he was regularly amongst the best and a regular goalkicker for Xavier last year they won the APS - https://www.oldxavs.com.au/post/xavier-wins-aps.  That's a good sign and probably more indicative given that it 

    He's in a bit of a similar positon to Jayden Hunt - late pick, school footy.  If he's a contributing best 22/fringe player like Jayden I would be very happy.

    Good advice Willy. I remember the frenzy on here when we selected Fraser Rosman. It all goes a bit over the top. I mean, I think I had Fraser pegged for winning the Brownlow this year.

    Looks a natural footballer, hopefully develops into a good one.

    The great comment from JT was that we don’t expect the draftees to play early, but rather to just develop their games.

    That is just so different to the old Melbourne, where we would say that hopefully draftees would play some games next year.

    It is the best policy and the wisest stance to take. We are fortunate with our recruiting in all regards, thanks to JT. We now have a supply of very good footballers - almost across the field of engagement - and from JT's point of view for us to all appreciate, a pool of decided talent that can mature, be enriched as footballers on the learning curve and be granted player-appropriate timeframes in which to blossom for the call. Healthiest start to a season for the Dees, unprecedented in the past.

    I really hope he makes it.  What with Hibberd (Hibbard, Hibbert, Hippo etc) close to retirement the list does need players who no one can spell.  Whilst Jordon/Jordan is ok for a backup I do think that Sestan/Seston/Sestin/Sextin has massive potential.

    I had a look at his “Casey highlights” from the weekend.  
    He certainly looks a natural footballer - if he can gain full AFL fitness and strength in the next preseason, together with footy development at Casey this year he just looks like he could be a genuine steal.  
    A very exciting prospect though I acknowledge that rookie drafts are generally quite speculative and that highlights are just that, highlights. 
    Will follow with great interest.  
    Any further thoughts from Casey watchers?

    This is the boke that kicks like Modra, because if it is, he could really be something from small take.

    100% agreed.

    Ollie Sestan is genuinely talented. 

    I watched the Casey Demons VFL match online and Ollie reminds me of Leigh Matthews with his build and those strong hips that can break tackles easily.

    This year I think he just needs to continue working away at VFL level with no pressure or expectations on him and next season we can see if he can also get fit enough to play in the midfield.

    First year in the system. He appears to have that “ something” about him. But he also looks like he needs a lot of fitness work. Once upon a time Clarry had the same look… so lets hope he has something close to the same discipline and drive.

    I'm barracking for the story as much as anything. Even if he was at another club it will be nice to see there is still a place for the talented character footballer in a regimented conveyor belt world.

    A good debut...

    The beauty about Casey this season is that it will be the kids with a handful of veterans that are driving the team.

    Last season it was the vets.

    We may not win it but we will have a good idea on our depth and where the list sits at the end.

    Sestan can play.

    I he has the will to do it he will be a really good story.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
