Hibb 36

Dunstan 29 with 7 clearances

Bill 27

Jordan 25

Gregory 20 on debut

JVR 19 including 6 hit outs

 

That was a fun game to watch. Youngsters really showed their worth.

Geez Jefferson can certainly take a good strong clunk. 7 marks and kicked 0.4. Still needs a bit of work but the talent is certainly there.

It's a pity poor old Schache copped a knee to the head because on today's form he was absolutely in line to replace Max. JVR didn't do his chance any harm. Just play the kid and get some games and experience into him now.

AMW, Howes and Kye Turner were all very impressive as well. Turner certainly provides drive off half back and AMW has a crack.

Seston is an unfinished product. Definitely needs to work on his tank and consistency throughout games, but when he does look out. The kid can play.

Thanks KC and all posters Casey really turned up today and that was a great win with a lot of debutants in the side. Go Casey Demons.!!!

Was about to ask that?  Copped a knee in the head late in Q3 so hopefully not concussed. 

 I was in and out watching the game and missed the Schache injury. He was excellent in the parts that I watched, kicked a few goals and took some contested marks. I thought he looked like a shoe-in for next week. What's the prognosis?

At first it seemed to be just an issue with his eye but Unfortunately he has been concussed.

That is so disappointing for Josh and MFC some players just don’t get the breaks.!!

 

Not a bad game to watch. I thaught the whole Casy side contributed to the win. First one I amgoing to mention is Seston. He can ply. A good mark and has good ground skills. Can read the play well also. I would be replacing Melksham with Jordan next week but the main one is Max. If Schache is okay then he should replace Max but if not then JVR who i taught got better as the game went on. I was not greatly impressed with Dunstan or Laurie. Good at vfl but not for afl.

That really sucks for the boy. 
I think last night showed that McD really shouldn't be the back up ruck. Schache would have been great given his game today.

I don't think we should drop McD at all. His body work helps the other forwards and he's back up for defence. Just don't put him in the ruck.

Is this the time to (finally) unleash JVR?

Bugger.  So now he's got a minimum 12 days to curse his rotten luck 🙄

I thought Jefferson was supposed to be an elite set shot kick? Any idea what happened?

I thought it was his marking rather than his kicking. But I also haven't seen the points today, so they could just be hard shots.

Not all of his scoring shots were set shots. However there was one in the last quarter that missed narrowly. Given it went through near post high from 55 metres,  I think the boy can kick it a bit.

1. 45m kick 45 degree angle in to the breeze sails through narrowly left 

2. Sharks the subsequent kick in, probably nervous about the wind and the miss, plays on and gets partially smothered. I’d imagine he would usually go back and nail this one, just a rush of blood

3. Quality quick snap in heavy traffic that doesn’t catch the breeze, not a bad effort 

4. Long range set shot with the wind that probably started just left when he needed it just right of the goals. Not a bad kick, made the distance easily 

Not sure what the 5th was.

Great, thanks for the info. Wind obviously a factor.

Beautiful set shot routine. 

Any astute observers compare Seaston - when he gains AFL fitness - to any current or well known player’s role?  (Hopefully the comparison to Tapscott was either tongue in cheek or to his build and not his footy output.)

Good question.

 

I didn't see Daniel "Disco" Turner out there today?

 

Was pleased with the performances of many of our players.

 

Thought Matthew Jefferson did alright with a few good marks. Just gotta learn to kick straight.

Yes and I noticed he has a bit of mongrel in him too, which was surprising. When he develops, he and JVR will be the keys in our forward line.

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?
