    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.

    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).

    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.

    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:

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
