I just think another big bodied mid is needed whilst we don't Oliver and Viney is copping a battering.

Much appreciated, Dazzle for all the input.

    Ben Brown 2 goals 1 behind 16 kicks 2 handballs 18 disposals 9 marks 1 tackle 1 hit out 95 dream team

    Nine marks is good enough for me.

    Tomlinson maybe, but there was nothing in Melksham’s game tonight that looked like an AFL return. Got silver service and added goals in junk time 

    There's an interesting nugget among that bucket of opinion.  You might not lije Milkshake but he has and can make something of nothing.  Ar times he can be that one to pick the ball outof the air 40 out..and yes sometimes theyre in the junk zone of quarters.  Tbh...thats fine by me as we are very poor , imo, at capitalising on those periods.

    Could Melksham come in for ANB? I know Goody won't do it but something has to change 

    This should be a MUST.

    No. Disposal way off.

    I've been thoroughly opposed to Dunstan getting promoted on the back of his disposal. While he can certainly find the footy, his disposal, for the most part stinks and stops him getting a gig. Last night though, he was spot on for the 90% of the game I saw. If he could keep that up he'd get games (Jeez he'd be handy as a sub with Oliver out) and I'd love to see more of it.

    Fair enough. Everybody (especially footballers) seems to unnecessarily add "to be honest" to every sentence. 

    Goodie ads at least 2 "there's no doubt about that" to every press conference.

    Thought Benny Brown was moving well last night. Worked hard up the ground and took a few good contested marks. He'd be my in next week.

    Thought Spargo was poor. His body language was disappointing and didn't put a performance in that screams of someone desperate to get his spot back. He can stay at Casey for the next 4 weeks based on last night's performance. 

    Vice versa on Harmes. This is his level now. Few attempts at don't argues and then just butchers going forward. Woewodin and Dunstan would be my first preference ahead of him.

    Thought Daniel Turner was super last night. Just cleaned up off half back and marked everything that came his way. Poor kid would be getting a game elsewhere in the AFL.

    Will Varrell has something. Don't know what it is, but his leap and timing was impressive.

     Re Spargo, cannot see him getting back in the side!

    The Geelong coach was Casey coach in the 2022 Grannny - correct?

    He’s a genuine midfield forward and we are deficient in both areas at the moment.

    English is also my first language, I'm just really bad at it.

    *apologies for the lame set-up and joke, felt funny at the time and is sort of an inside joke as my partner, who isn't a native English speaker, speaks English far better than I do.

    Can anyone explain why Shannon Neil was awarded a free at the 24 min mark of the third when he went up against Deakyn in a 1 v1??

    Deakyn had front berth and both hands went up for the mark?

    Incredible.  Lucky Neil's kick for goal was only a minor.

    If anyone can think of a reason after reviewing it i'd genuinly be interested in your thoughts.

    Dunstan's kicking was certainly a coin flip in this match but he did pull off a ripping 40 meter kick lacing out BB on a lead into the flank at the 2:40 mark of the last from just forward of wing.

    The sealer for this match actually came from some nice work at ground level from Jefferson to Bill to Melk for an around the corner (7:30 in the last).

    Shannon was singing "What About Me" at the time and the foolish umpire fell for it.

    Pretty good effort by Jake Melksham to kick 4 goals for the Casey Demons. Worth another sneaky chance to play in the senior side?

    Perhaps he will get to play 100 games for Melbourne after all?

    That's as plausible as any explanation likely to be put forward DS!

    Very clever forward craft exponent.

    He finds space on his opponents when others often struggle.

    Takes the odd decent contested mark.

    He rarely misses from within range (say 30 - 40 max).

    I'd take him ahead of Spargo or Chandler at this point given his Casey form, experience and ability to finish off the good work up the field.

    That's not to say Spargo or Chandler can't get back to some decent goal kicking form themselves at some stage.

    However at this point, in terms of potential to finish off other's good work in front of goals, Melksham's presently a fair way ahead of those two imv.

    Best to watch the first half Sydee. 

    Most players were a bit off in the third vs the 1st half as Geelong upped their effort & pressure significantly.

    Contested aerial work, lead efforts, 2nd efforts at ground level, Ruck work up forward, a few Marks inside 50, goal efficiency and work providing an outlet up the ground should see him coming straight in.

    4th quarter was quite good also although not quite as busy/involved as his first half.

    I wish I could argue on the basis of his stats but I didn't see the game so I can't really insist otherwise. Cheers.

    • 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.

      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?
