CASEY: Rd 07 vs Gold Coast Suns

Similarly experienced line up didn’t help us vs Richmond at Casey 2 weeks ago, but last week was a good win vs Box Hill away, so who knows?

Yeah, I feel like it's not the forward's fault exclusively. Both teams aren't delivering it that well to them at times.

Still some work to do not just to bomb it in from 60 or 70 out.

Which in a positive way, is great as both teams are near the top of the ladder and still have room to improve how they get it in to the forwards I think.

I reckon we're running at 80 percent of our potential.

Wow, looking at this picture and reading the words I can hear Don Adam's funny voice.

One of the funniest scenes from that show was when 99s mother came to live with them. She witnessed Max fighting with several enemy agents. She looked at 99 and said she had no idea the greeting card business was so tough.

Mel Brooks was just a wonderful comedy producer

Would not mind seeing Woewodin playing the small forward role today for a half or so to see how he goes.

Similarly play Laurie on the HBF for a while.

IMO fringe players are wise to develop in say two positions to maximise their chances of a senior game.

I wonder where we will see Joel S play today? Is he the Lever understudy or the secret weapon forward ?

Joel would make the perfect sub can play forward/back.

That Gold Coast side is strong seasoned bodies on all lines. If we are to get over the top of them, there will need to be some performances that would have the selectors excited. Personally, I hope Howes at half back shows composure and nous to take the game on. Bbb, melksham, smith; all will need to make the most of opportunity as I believe their midfield has our measure. (I rate sharp on the wing as afl quality, had freo obtained him in trade period imv our future picks wouldn’t be looking as rosy)

Whilst it is disappointing for Dunstan to be out for an extended stretch it should allow increased midfield minutes for Laurie and Woewodin to develop their midfield  game. I hopefully we also provide opportunity for Sestan and Howes to increase their centre bounce attendances which they have done a few times this season. It’s good to have a strong Casey but the most important element is developing our future Dees.

Watching him up close at Wonthaggi last week his athleticism was amazing 

If he could stay healthy his up side is unlimited

a bird's eye view with this camera angle

not bad for giving an overall view of play

Really high up and way down at one end of the ground. Reminds me of the camera angle at VFL Park.

Gold Coast have 20 listed AFL players (including 9 rookies) in that side all the way down to the bench where Josh Corbett, formerly listed AFL player is selected.  That's a strong team.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
