CASEY: Practice Match vs Port Melbourne

Featured Replies

Apart from the mullet Sestan looks a completely different player from last season. I reckon he's lost 10kg and is covering the ground a lot better. He's a natural footballer with clear talent.

 
 

FARRIS KYAH FREAKISH  GOAL

How’s Tholstrup looking? Mid or forward?

THE CASEY LIGHTS ARE UNDER 11 STANDARD I cant see a thing, leaving at 3/4 time

Can’t see the 🐍, Mr Fence?
 

Looks like Port have recruited our goal kicking coach?

Did Jefferson stay deep back all game?

Yep 🤮


Just one other thing about Clarry, just after 3/4 time a Port Melbourne player came over to Clayton and the joy, cameraderie,and passion was on display with bear hugs and plenty of backslapping and Bonhomie, clearly hadn't seen each other for a time but the obvious rapport was evident! The Port Melbourne player in question was..... Fraser Rosman a 1 time Dee

Was great to see🤩

Looking forward to Picket Fence’s on the spot reporting from Casey Fields. 😀

Hasn't he packed it in after last night's slop?

Still cant get over T Mac at Full back and Jeffo Back Pocket!!! Mystifying given our dire need for Forwards. BBB looked rusty and Fullars looked likely. Sestan, Tholly and K Browndog very good as was T Mac

Jefferson to kick 10 and force his way in I'm hearing

Going to be hard playing from the back pocket!

Our drafting and player development has been much improved this past decade, but we still haven't developed a capable marking key forward since the 2000s. I hope this was a short term lesson for Jefferson and not a plan to try turning him into a defender when we're crying out for a key forward and burnt a first round pick on him.

Maybe you’ve answered your own question here…

One would have to think it was a part of “learnings”.   I also hope that this is only temporary  

To those who were there - did anyone put their hand up particularly in view of the “performances” of Spargo, Laurie and Schache. 

I think Jefferson’s best chance to make it is as a defender like Mitch McGovern. He has zero ground game, lacks second efforts/intensity and will never be big enough.

Disagree recruited ad a key forward he wont make it anywhere else! Needs time FORWARD!

Agree agree agree. He’s a forward. Not a defender.  Good mark.  Solid kick.  Little 2nd efforts or ground work. Needs protein and daily gym work for next 12 months. 

I think he theory with Jefferson is he will learn the game better from the back half.

I've revised my expectations to 8 goals

The why on earth did we blow a first rounder on him?

Thats a bog ordinary assessment.

It’s only a bog ordinary assessment if he ends up an AFL quality forward. 

 

I seem to recall that we played Fritsch for at least half a season at HBF and it did not work out too badly for his forward work.

Yep and it was recognised as a mistake

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
