CASEY: Practice Match vs Port Melbourne

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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
