FIELD OF DREAMS by KC from Casey The sunny skies and still, clear conditions that greeted fans on their arrival created a dreamlike Easter carnival atmosphere for Casey’s game against Footscray a

Verrall is very very good for a second year Ruck. I think it’s easy to forget he is only in his second year and that his first was very interrupted through injury. Once he gets his fitness up to get t

Last week there was very little to be excited about.  This week Verrall has been great. Jeffo showing his quality. Adams much improved down back. Kolt and Sestan beasts. AMW shows a lot of dash, gut

Jefferson has not filled out much over the summer to my eyes. JVR in his second season bulked up and was pushing for selection by years end.

Will be interesting to see how Jefferson grows

Tholstrup is getting better each week. What position would he take at AFL level

The difference is right there but let’s not take anything away from either side. The Dogs had too much strength and experience  - Lobb alone has 160 AFL games under his belt and Harmes has 153 AFL games and a premiership. Fullarton and Schache were the only currently listed AFL players in Casey’s team. *

I think I prefer what Casey showed today in terms of future players despite the loss. 

* to be clear, these two were the only MFC listed players out there with AFL experience.

JVR is in his third season, he was always bulky. He played seniors at the start of his second season after a fairly dominant first season in the VFL where he kicked a large number of goals in a premiership. He definitely grew his fitness base before the second season doing running in the off season with Knuckle and Woey but I don’t think bulk/strength was ever his issue. 
Jeffo is a different type, rangy, great hands, good goal sense,  usually better kicking, can get around the ground. The improvement in his pressure game and positioning after his time on the wing and in the backline is evident. I think he still needs to work on his fitness as his second efforts can be lacking but he’s growing into a good second forward and if his confidence and fitness grows he could become a very good option in a year or so. 
 

I see Kolt in the Tom Sparrow and early career Trac mould. A powerful half forward who rotates through the midfield.

Sorry W-J but Tholstrup and Sestan are both MFC-listed players who along with Verrall were in the top 3 for rating points for the most possessions. Ollie was very good, Jefferson lead and marked well but kicked badly and Verrall got lots of possessions more like a mid.

This will be a development year and spots will open up for Sestan, Jefferson, Fullarton & Tholstrup

My guess is @Whispering_Jackmeant "players with AFL experience" not "players on an AFL list".

Given the vagaries and overall inequities, compromise and inconsistency of the VFL competition (we SO need a dedicated reserves comp) I thought that today's effort was encouraging. The ideal spot for a reserves team IMHO  is a mid to mid-high placed team (eg 5th-6th) that gives developing players a good look at both a winning and losing situations  and that instills that victory only comes from team efforts (rather than an overdose of experienced AFL players).

Jefferson looked good. Pity he got the yips. I'm happy for him to take his time developing before debuting. I'm significantly more confident about player development now than back in the days of MN and JW.

Casey showed more today and fought the game out. Considering the lack of players available, it was a solid effort.

Looked pretty good for large patches today. I have the feeling, rightly or wrongly, that we lost that one more than the doggies won it. I thought it was a good response by the younger players who obviously didn’t like the way the team played last week. There was a lot to like.

Tholstrup and Sestan could develop into bulky tough mid/ Forwards.

Both have very high ceilings if it all goes right for them.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
