I know we’re a limited side at present, but I’ve seen nothing in this kid to warrant a call up. I see glimpses of what he could be. But he isn’t an AFL level player at present, IMO. 

I'll back the Coaches etc. in this one KDA. Might be time for you to have a rest on selection etc. for a while the Club has it covered. 

Good one. Well done Taj. It is good to see a bit of new blood come through.

 

For all the doubters about our 2022 Woe's debut is the third from our VFL flag plus Chin's 15 games. He had a reasonable wait after his first 3 or 4 AFL games. 

For those who have chronically undervalued our Casey Dees Flag in 2022 and the team efforts it's great credit to all the Coaches and the boys for all their training and playing and extra WA pre season work.

Rooy back this week to replace Fritta would be great. 

Would be great to have JVR back in the team. 

Means the 3 WA draftees from the 2021 draftees would be all playing at the same time.

Jason Taylor just keeps ticking them over 👏

Yep 31 possessions and 3 goals last round is clear evidence of this. Deserves a call up and to test his readiness at AFL level.

From the little i have seen, he looks like he can hit a target - and, oh, how we need that!!

That's no go..... he won't fit in......

 

Great news and well deserved. I feel like he is one of those players who, while they might not become a champion, will just find a way to become a really good player at whatever level they are asked to play at.

Doubly so, because apparently he was a very good chance to be selected in round one before he broke his thumb.

That's three of the WA boys, JVR Mcvee and woey jnr, who all did some serious running work over their XMAS break back on Perth and have made the seniors.

Great reward for hard work.

The year woey snr won the Brownlow he was brilliant. In some ways he was ahead of his time- his run and carry and efficient ball use would fit perfectly into the best sides now.

All good points Rubbish Binny.

Woey Sr. was spotted during grand final week in '21, outside the ground peering through the fence, watching us train. He's a Dee through and through. My contact @Anti Saint had a chat to him and said he's still supremely fit.

So with our observations as background . . .

Can we start Woey Jr. in the centre and bring Woey Sr. on as the sub in the last to run the [censored] around the Aints?

Love the way even players who may be displaced by these announcements share in the celebrations. Happens every time.

On ya Woey!

He’s worked hard and developed really well. 

He will give everything on Sat night, no doubt on that

Actually, woey's incredible fitness and running power was also ahead of its time.

We've been stale for a while so this is exactly what the team needs. some young blood. Hopefully he can find his feet quickly and contribute from the get-go.

Best of luck to the boy.

Anyone doubting this can refer to the 2021 GF post game footage in our rooms where Woey Sr is strutting around in his 2000 grand final guernsey, worn over a shirt no less! I can't fit into last year's attire, let alone what I wore 21 years ago.

Forgive my ignorance, but what role or position(s) has Woey been playing at Casey? 

I haven't watched that many casey games, but I think he has predominantly played as a pure winger.

That was certainly his role when he came on against the saints in the preeason game (from memory, replacing langdon).

Edited by binman

Really enjoyed his cameo against Richmond in the AFL practice match at Casey. Just looked like one of those players that looked comfortable at this level and like McVee should be able to hit the ground running.

Hopefully the boys will be energised and excited by a debutant as they're grinding through the months of June and July which are the hardest for motivation, so they say.

Woey senior was on the radio on SEN this morning.

Was askes the same question.

His answer:  in 2022 he was predominantly a winger, this year he's had more exposure inside and at half forward.

Jeez, I am sucker for the Father Son rule. 

Next few years could see 3-4 added to our list.

Not claiming to be a Rhodes scholar when it comes to footy minutiae, but appears to play as as a member of the onball brigade at stoppages.  Young Taj can 'intelligently' get separation from his direct opponent which allows him time and space to assist his team mates in goal scoring chains or kick goals himself. Of course in the big league everything seems faster and the collisions more frequent.

Judging on last year's performances in the VFL, he has the requisite courage, took some big hits, including being infamously concussed in a dangerous act  by former Casey player Lefau at Punt Rd. At Princess Park in the ultimate finale he was TMM the best of the young guns.

Good Luck young Taj Woewodin.

It’s one of the great parts of AFL club culture. 

The big question is….
Did Shaun Smith, Todd Viney and Shane Woewodin all play in the same team?

Yes they did. In fact this happened Woey Snr's first game:

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
