KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Doesn't look like we've got much going on in the VFL despite winning. Jordan - we know what he brings. Brown - finished most likely. Woewodin and others - still just developing.

    He actually had 2 excellent aerial contests in the last 5 minutes and he took a strong grab and laced out Schache for the vital go ahead goal.

    Athletically we know he’s not much but he played well.

    For an AFL listed player and looking at the way he moves I’d have to disagree. Maybe ok for a VFL player but he should retire effective immediately. 
     

    I was a bit harsh on Jordan but what I’m getting at is he’s got no great strength to bring to our game.

    It’s a VFL game. Name a clear strength he has and who does he replace at the level?

    Jordon and Wowoedin were great , Deakin Smith and Lawrie have a great set of skills and plenty of time.

    Best defender: Deak Smith. Really solid game. Turner quiet. Howes I can’t believe had 23 which is a testament to how easy he makes it but his contest work is poor.

    Best mid: Woey. JJ had moments as did Laurie, but Taj I thought combined inside and outside efforts.

    Best forward; Depsite rucking a lot was Schache. With an honourable mention to Gorgeous George Grey.

    Brown started the season with 8 goals in two matches and the club admitted he shouldn’t have lined up against Sydney with his back injury. 
     

    Will never look great at VFL level with sub par ball movement and delivery. 
     

    His inclusion into the side will help Roo and Fritta tenfold. I very much hope he’s back in soon and from listening to an interview from Richo last night, he’s not far away.

    He's never had much midfield time with the senior team.

    Hardly a surprise with who we have in there.

    Another strong game from JJ. But probably won’t crack it for a game next week as Hibbo and Clarry back in.  

    Laurie also on the fringe of a senior game.

    I think Woey jnr should debut later in the year.

    Deakyn Smith is still a prospect.  

    Not sure BBB will get back despite our needs for a KPF.

    Would be better than Harmes on current form and he will be suspended anyway I suspect

    Good thing about him is he is a very reliable kick for goal we could use a bit of that skill atm - not sure who he’d replace though

    Poor player management. If Smith can’t lock away a spot after 3-4 weeks then Schache deserves 3-4 weeks.

    No point flogging a dead horse with BBB though, for what he’s got I thought he contested and jumped at it well today. Maybe, just maybe it might spur him on. He’s had a lot worse VFL games lately.

    JJJ’s endurance is his weapon at AFL level. He’s still just 22 and filling out his frame and has barely played consistent footy as an inside mid. He wasn’t a TAC pathways gun on baller who’s been doing this since he was 14 like Jack Viney for instance. 

    He doesn’t provide us anything to the senior side right now, hence why he isn’t in it. 

    People think he needs to be in the afl side. I firmly don’t. But I’d love to see what he can do with 10 more weeks at Casey as the main man. His skills and stoppage craft can really improve with 30-40 touches a week

    Jefferson is going to need to lift...a lot.

    Are your standards based on JVR? Because if they are, have a reality check. 
     

    In the context of big forwards, Roo is a massive anomaly in that not many come in and have an impact straight away and Jefferson isn’t ready. Not many big forwards are expected to be, but so many on this page especially think he’s going to dominate games like Roo did last year when it’s just not realistic at all, not to mention them being very different players also.

    I’ll admit I’m a hard judge of players. I also use my feeling of a players impact more than the stats. 
    Sure Jordan got plenty ball today but he’s just so vanilla. Could he replace ANB? That’s about his best chance and we know how hard that’s going to be for him.

    Weitering was playing on Roo last night. That said it all. Brown is needed for structure. No club or player is nervous about Schache, they never have been, and likely never will be. Browns first two games showed he’s worth persisting with. Again, he will never go well at VFL with the standard of delivery, umpiring and flow of the game. It’s very obvious isn’t it?

    I’ve watched Jefferson’s last 5 games. He does have a reasonable set of hands, maybe knitting could be his thing? ………apologies I’m advance to all those shocked at my criticism.

    Jordan gets where the ball is. He is excellent with handball in pressure situations. He gets good distance by foot and he is reasonably quick. I haven't seen a BAD game from him at AFL level. If you have, name it!

    It’s how he’s moving that concerns me most. He makes Gawn look fast. Darcy Moore would run off him like a gleeful kid from his grandma.

     

    You talk structure like Brown will add to that, care to explain? JVR did just fine on Weitering by the way

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
