One of the best CHB we ever had became a great forward.Go Neita

Wayne Carey to this day believes Neita was the best backmen he has ever played on. I can remember the trend years ago where promising forwards started in the back pocket and learnt forward craft from behind the ball. Walls and Maclure started down back before moving to centre half forward

    What are you talking about ? Where are you getting these stats from ? He kicked 36 goals at VFL level in 2022 not 42.16. He did not kick 6.2 in his second game that was against north Melbourne in round 7

    @picket fence any more elaboration on how the guys went? 

     

    specifically Sestan as I see the practice match he seemed to have really changed physically, and he has a lot of talent.

     

    Hopefully we have some fwds coming through to knock spargo etc out.

     

    Also I dont think Laurie is really afl level

    Makes sense when you phrase it like that but not when you say he kicked 42 goals in 2022 AND 2023

    Hawkins took around 4 or 5 seasons to really make it. Gawn although a ruckman took 4 or 5 also.

    JVR is an exception to the rule. No many can do what he did at that age. Comparisons are unfair.

    Jeffersen needs at least another preseason under his belt.

    Given our number of tall forwards at Casey its good to give Jeffersen a go down back.

    As Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same things over and over expecting a different result.

    You just have to mix things up a bit.

    Jefferson has talent, but little aggression or intensity.  The bad news is that's the hardest trait to instill into a player.  Further bad news is that it's the most important trait for a key forward.

    Defence is a far easier position for someone with his DNA.

    I'm dubious that he'll ever make an AFL key forward.

    I know those with red and blue goggles have conniptions about such views.

    i watched most games at casey when at home, and imo i dont think jeffo has it. hes quite lazy at 2nd efforts. this could come with maturity, but this is a make or break year for me. if he cant get in front of josh schache, then you have serious issues.

    Then why did the club give him an extention then??

    Juice Newton played 28 games for 35 goals, um stacks up quite well I would have thought! Underated and underdeveloped, typical Melbourne

    I don't mind Jefferson playing KPB at Casey, we're not flush with up and coming tall defenders. Adams and Turner - that's it.  May and Tomlinson have use-by dates and TMac will be gone next year.   KPB succession is important.

    At Casey we've currently got BBB, Fullarton, Verrall and KFW (or Schache) forward.  That's why it makes sense to play TMac back and it gets pretty tall up there if you try to fit Jefferson in too

    If Petty can stay fit and we can re-sign him then we're pretty well set with him and JVR up forward, and we have Fullarton and Verrall as ruck-forward options.  Provided we can recoup the Gus salary cap we should be able to make very good offers to Petty and JVR.

    So it sounds like TMac is preparing to cover May in case of injury and no one else is AFL ready. Our stocks past best 23-24 are thin

    What we really need is Adam’s to make the step to AFL. That’s my wish for this year. 

    he looks like he has a bit of potential. another that needs to fill out though.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
