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

    • 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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
