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.

    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.

    Or Alan Jaković in Croatian ... and the subject of this thread would be Oliver Šestan (pronounced Shestan) 🤓

    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.

    Dane Swan???

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
