Sydney played well in the 1st quarter, then our backline and ball movement killed them.

Is Laurie injured? Haven't spotted him at all in the last quarter.

Perhaps they have rested him and sent to the MCG as an emergency.

Really interesting to see how Tom Sheridan goes for Casey today.

Have heard some big wraps on him.

Beautiful goal!

He needs a bit of gym work though.

Quite possible, could mean there's a possible late out for the seniors.

You have to feel for Tomlinson- too good for this level 

Agree, he deserves a crack at AFL level. I wonder if we have F50 issues in the seniors Tomo could pintch hit up forward

Well played Casey, forced it onto our own terms.

I am amazed that Sydney couldn't or wouldn't put more into Tomlinson and Howes.

A handy 41 point win in the end. After a competitive opening term, Casey was in total control for the rest of the game.

Howes looks fantastic at VFL level and will be an very good player. But he looks like he needs to get fitter and stronger. I would like to see a bit more intensity in the contest as well. 


Howes = Wow

33 disposals and 16 marks.

Play him against the Eagles.

What role did he play? And therefore whose spot might be vulnerable if we lose today?

Meanwhile, Casey’s premiership coach Mark Corrigan who now coaches Geelong’s VFL team is under the pump up on the Gold Coast where his Cats are down by 13 goals late in the third quarter.

Speaking of pumps, Corro can use one for the new farm he got from the Cats.

Seriously though, I don’t blame him for coaching closer to home. 

This is the game we needed to see from Howes...

Now he's just got to be consistent & a spot will open up for him.

Played a lot of mopping of half back and then through the centre when the ball was around the ground. I might have missed him at a centre bounce if he was at them(?). He played really well, but I'm not so sure he would be pushing into the team unless there are injuries or someone really has a terrible, terrible game. There is a lot to work with there, but it wasn't like JJ last week. I thought Tomlinson was probably best on for us. But that is just my opinion. 

Loving the progress of Howes, with further gym and development, he could just about play anywhere on the ground.

Jefferson should not be considered at all this year in the seniors, very raw and talented but needs some serious size on him

Was an interesting match today.  Considering the Swans kicked a couple of junk time goals and Casey still won by 7 goals, one would think they completely dominated the match, however at stages it felt like Sydney could have easily won the match.  Sydney dominated the first quarter and large portions of the 3rd term, however they missed some gettable shots and Casey were very good at getting goals when required against the grain which was the difference between the two sides.

I was more impressed with Casey's win this week then I was last week.  Last week we pretty much dominated the game and it was only as close as it was because we kicked 1.9 to start the match.  This week Sydney were right in the match and dominated sections of the match.  We also only had 11 senior listed players in the team this week compared to 16 last week I think it was.  A great team effort in the circumstances.

A few things of note today;

1. Both Tom McDonald and Adam Tomlinson played like men desperate to get back in the seniors.  McDonald marked everything that came his way and was a constant presence, while Tomlinson was a real general down back. Tomlinson had his hands full at times, as the battle between he and Hayden McLean was a good contest to watch with them out-bodying each other on different occasions, but if you had to award the points one way or the other, you'd have to give them to Tomlinson. Also their leadership and instructions to team-mates and where to go was top notch. 26 minutes into the final term and 7 goals up and Tomlinson was still telling the midfielders off for giving up 4 clearances in a row. Was great to see.

 

2. Both Sestan and Moniz-Wakefield have real x-factor about them. Sestan didn't get much of it, but he kicked 2 and created plenty of opportunities for others.  He's a natural goal kicker by the looks of things and I can see him keeping the pressure on someone like Fritsch as a mid sized forward.  While Moniz-Wakefield looks really clean and dangerous whenever he's around.  He also looks pretty good in the air.  Just needs to get a left foot IMO.

 

3. Matt Jefferson has sticky hands.  Love his marking ability and I expect that he'll have a strong year at Casey before getting a bit more muscle on his frame before he can put his hand up in 2024 and beyond for a senior chance.

 

4. I like Hayden McLean from Sydney. A few years ago I'd suggest we target him as a potential target.  Though with Van Rooyen and Jefferson coming through the ranks and Setan a good mid-sized developing player as well, he probably isn't on our radar.  One to keep an eye on though.

5. The egg and bacon rolls were back!

Agree- but both seem to have good skills - ability…Howes missed a lot of football last year, seems like he could develop into a steady HB flanker or wing whilst Jefferson is showing as good ability as JVR did same time last year.

Sums it up well.

Sydney played the prettier football but we pressured them out of it

  • 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.
