Quarter Time Casey 3.6.34 lead Coburg 0.2.2

Goals Edwards Munro Schache 

Disposals Dunstan 8 Hibberd 7 Edwards 6 Harmes Moniz-Wakefield 5

 

The old live mic during the break.  Fixed with 1m 35sec of the break remaining :D 

Grundy getting plenty of chances, but his goal kicking is classic Melbourne.

Liking Grundy"s movement in the fwd's

Let’s remember that Coburg are a terrible team. But I like his attitude. Getting involved and taken some nice marks. The forwardline for Casey is so open. Our AFL forwards would die for this much space.

Duursma is going to be a gun.  

He's certainly passing the audition so far

I hate the way the VFL has been merged with the Reserves.

Tomorrow I get to watch the Demons Reserves (aka Casey) play a torpedo punt* from my home. But I'll feel like a goddamn traitor when my Coburg drinking buddies see me in red and blue. Any other week I support the Lions.

Coburg Lions are really struggling this year. It's hard to compete against AFL clubs and professional athletes. 

All Demon fans going to Coburg, please eat as many snags and chips as you can, and drink the Coburg Lager. Help keep the Lions viable. 

* I'm probably talking 5 x Malcolm Blight torps if I'm honest

My understanding was that the standalone VFL Clubs have a  substantially higher salary cap than the AFL-affiliated Clubs which meant that theoreiically they should have a better chance of attracting high level talent that is not on AFL lists. Certainly Werribee are very successful this year which I'm assuming is partly because of that. Having said that, is there any funding of the standalone clubs by the AFL? I assume it depends on whether a club is well enough resourced to use  their full salary cap?

The standalone clubs ladder positions currently are: Werribee 2nd, Williamstown 7th, Southport 14th (but runners up last year), Port Melbourne 15th, Frankston 18th, Northern Bullants 20th, Coburg 21st (bottom). A mixed bag but generally struggling.
 


Spargo too good for his level. Hibbo could play blind and be too good for this level. Grundy getting involved. Schache taking the literal [censored] at this level. 
 

Verrell looks good. I see potential.

Excellent work by Grundy. Crashes a pack at CHF and roves his own work, then a quick dish off ending up with the Shack directly in front.

That's his bag. If he can break packs and follow up quickly it's the best of both worlds for him.

I hope they keep playing him high half forward and push Schache deeper. That would suit him and us better.

Harmes playing well too. I love his link up play, though I reckon Woewodin might have stolen his spot.

If the goal of our forwards in the ones is to bring the ball to ground 

then i dont see an issue with Grundy playing forward.

He has taken marks and kicked a few goals at the level.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
