Luke Dunstan was under utilized at senior level last season IMO. Given the limited opportunities he was offered, he delivered determined consistent, honest blue collar performances. He is not afraid to get his head over the ball and plays for the team.

Given the ferocity of contest around the ball, his skills aren’t as shabby as some here would think. Get him in the engine room.

Andy Moniz-Wakefield could be anything!🤞

Not gripping, but rushing blokes back based on reputations has fallen through the floorboards again. Team performance would be better served if match ready guys had been fully rehabilitated through Casey.

Lovely stuff thanks Tarax

This club still has some learnings ahead, especially with the utilisation of Casey as a lead in to the big league for the big boys coming in cold.  Viney a great example last night.  Could not have been more under-done or out of form.

Dunstan for Harmes depending on how he goes today.

Schache (boy thats a spelling doozy)  for Max if he performs?

JVR should be straight in for Melk on any reasonable result.

    A match preview here.

    Nice jack ty.  We've got some interesting additional talls this season but have lost two handy smalls (in affect) in Chandler & Bedford.

    Hopefully Moniz can start to ramp things up and there's also Bill.  Add to that some of the Casey boys in Grey, Munro, Steele in the small/medium mix.  Probably one or two others that i've overlooked

    Maybe a good old fishing trip romp with the boys afterwards Dl4?

    Consider yourself lucky it's only after a loss.  My lil storm cloud goes there a few times a day whether we play or not (win, lose or draw!) ....

    Casey’s midfield seems to lack pace. Dunstan Jordon Munro 

    miss Baker and Bedford from 2022 

    Woey jnr also missing this week as good link runner 

    Dogs Mids seemed quicker in practice match 

    certainly drafting 2-3 quick Mids is on my list for 2023 draft

    Schache already with strong contested mark and shot on goal but pushes it right.

    Jeez Seston has had a purple patch. Took a strong contested mark and just missed only to then intercept the kick in and hit Laurie up.

    Big lad.

    James Jordon impressive in the midfield so far. So clean.

    Trent Burgoyne, Max Gregory and Miles Shepherd come into the side to replace Melksham and Tomlinson (to AFL).

    The Casey Demons are doing all the attacking and are sitting on 1.3.9 to 0.0.0 after George Grey kicks the first goal of the game.

    Bill Laurie a heap of it early on. Looks to be playing with intent.

    Not much from JVR.. a glimpse from Schache but no more.

    Joel Smith did a little

    Conditions look perfect.. looking forward to the remaining three quarters

    Messy start seemingly in to the breeze. Most chances were long distance shots that are low percentage.

    Jeffo missed the easiest one when he played on with a rush of blood.

    So far in terms of key position watch if you combined;

    Schache’s height
    JVRs physicality 
    Jefferson’s anticipation
    Smith’s athleticism 

    You’d have a gun key forward. They’ve all got involved and Schache maybe the most chances at goal but no one standing out.

    JJ the best of the mids. 

    Very solid defensive performance across the board but not a lot of standouts from down back

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
