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

can you read?

 

i said he kicked 42 goals at vfl level in 22-23

@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

Because they may see something? I dont know you would have to ask them. Im just an armchair supporter

Just now, Roost it far said:

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.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
