    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!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
