No he actually meant Weird Al Yankovic.

    Had the pleasure of sitting next to Oliver at the MFC season launch function, with Ooze sitting on the other side of Oliver.
     

    He commented on the significant step up required in fitness, but said he’d already cut his 2km time, by I think it was 20 seconds, pre and post Christmas. We had a great chat about footy and non footy stuff and he was more than happy to answer questions from everyone else at the table.  Not sure if Ooze is naturally close to all the new draftees, but he clearly has a very close bond with Oliver, based on their interactions that night.
     

    I’m watching his VFL season with added interest, really hope he can make it.

    Both Goulburn Valley lads so I'm guessing they may have bonded over that when meeting.

    Hence why young Harley Reid will slide straight in seamlessly ;)

    Seston isn't a Goulburn Valley lad. Born and bred in Melbourne and is a classic city slicker/private schoolboy.

    Seston only travelled up for a few games for Mansfield under 18's.

    I also really like the look of Oliver Sestan he does have that Jacovich “air” about him, good size at 188cm or 6’2” in imperial terms .  I can see him slotting into an attacking forward line  with Bayley Fritsch, JvR and Matty Jefferson in 2024.!!!

    He was interviewed on Gus and Gawny's podcast. Absolute unit.

    Have a good feeling about him. Seems like the kind of bloke with a ton of talent but never really took footy too seriously growing up. Putting him into a full time, high standard organisation and he could really come on as a real smokey from that draft.

    His highlights remind me a lot of Robbie Gray personally.

    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???

    willo?

    Daz - In my comment I was talking about Yze and Oliver, not Seston.

    edit:  I don't really know anything about Seston to be honest.  Why would someone play in the GV when under 18 still?  I get it if you're a senior player and chasing some $$$ but is it common for U/18's to do this??

    I'm a tool.  Literally 5 hours later I realise you were talking about Oliver Sestan - not Clayton Oliver (who I was referring to)..... which makes sense noting its an Oliver Sestan thread.

    Yep, I shanked that completely.  Apologies for the confusion.

    Ollie Sestan has been banging down the door to AFL selection at Casey but the selectors are making him wait.

    I’m wondering whether he’s still eligible for selection as a Rising Star nominee?

    Only turned 21 in April so still eligible.

    I really like him and would love to see him in the seniors but it's going to be a tough ask with Bowey and Salem both playing well at HB.

    We should be thinking about him as Salo's heir apparent. Of all the players on our list he arguably has the most scope to play that quarterback role from a kicking POV and he's naturally offensively minded like Salem is too. Salem had to work on his defensive stuff over a period of years and I'd expect that to be similar with Ollie.

    Salem is playing well again, which lets Sestan develop in the VFL. Happy for that to continue for both players sakes, but Christian does have a chequered injury history so Ollie may not need to wait too long to get a look.

    Not eligible if he doesn’t get a game at AFL level.

    I reckon this is a great call.

    Big and solid enough to win one-on-ones. A good enough kick to hit the forty-fives we're now so keen on at half back.

    It would be good to see Sestan getting a game at AFL level in light of his recent good form at Casey level but the question is where to fit him in?

    I have been thinking we have a far greater percentage of our good ball users in the back half at the min. Bowey, Salem, XL, Judd. I wonder if we brought Sestan in if we could move Bowey into the role Spargo has been playing.

    If he could continue his good form up the ground it would certainly improve our ball movement inside 50.

    It's part of minimising turnover in our defensive 50, to prevent the opposing team from having turnover scoring opportunities. It also helps with starting the chain of fast movement down the ground in a reasonable manner. High half forward and half back are some of the most important roles in the game now because of this. It's pleasing that our chessboard shuffling has worked alongside the new game plan!

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
