CASEY: Rd 14 vs Geelong


KC from Casey

Recommended Posts

This week’s contest against Geelong is a must win if the Casey Demons are to arrest their downward spiral over the past 4 or 5 weeks. They won the corresponding game at GMHBA Stadium last year and with a much stronger side on the park this week, they should get the job done.

On the VFL website they have two players to watch for the Casey Demons 

• Josh Schache  - leading club goal kicker for 2023 with 19 goals (average 2.4) 

• Blake Howes - leading club disposals for 2023 with 245 (average 22.3) and leading club marks for 2023 with 75 (average 6.8)

Would like to see Howes getting a game at AFL level. Hope it’s soon.

Schache has missed his chance for this year. Just gets pushed off the ball too easily as a key forward in a one on one and does not seem to have the ability to find space.

Is there a spot going forward into 2024... I can't see it

If Petty is half fit and unavailable for the main game we could do worse than give him a half to 3/4 at Casey for this game.

The connection between Tomlinson and Howes at VFL level is very good. It would be interesting to see it at AFL level when the time is right.

I read that he came to us from Doggies searching for more opportunity - from the games I’ve watched (only one live) he hasn’t looked like it, even though he’s the leading goal kicker.

We could do a lot better in fact a bloo.. lot better of getting Harry completely fit before we risk him in any grade albeit in a VFL game that he need not be playing when not fully fit. 

Whatever your thoughts you are not serious please, and thinking of Harry's future in any way shape or form.

Poor BBB and we really need him fit and firing at the buisness end of the year for another crack at the big one. I remember that Nick Riewoldt had to have his knee drained on a regular basis near the end of his career and he still played some great footy for the Saints.!!!

Gotta plead a bit of ignorance with this one, it was early and got confused by the full stops after 'bloo'. My bad!

Full credit to any MFC supporter that makes the trip down the highway on back to back nights.

you do wonder why it's being played at night. I suppose it is to make it easier for the non AFL listed players who have jobs.

Wonder what they prefer Friday night or noon Saturday.

Good luck to young Verrall on his return from injury - hopefully gets through the game and starts building some good form

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
