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

    again totally hope im wrong, i just cant see it, I see Michael Newton vibes

    I'll take Newton vibes just don't mention the other bloke.

    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??

    Dubious after one season? Very interesting take😂

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
