No one really starring

McAdam disappoints me as does Billings.

Jefferson.. doing enough

AMW.... not sure what we are trying to do with him

 

Lucky the last play wasn't important, he took about 50 steps!

It was a spirited effort in that last quarter. Fullarton, AMW, Verrall, Jeffo and Laurie gave it their all and nearly pulled off a win. 
 

Norf had lots of talent on ground with McKercher, Stephenson and Duursma playing 

 

Casey showed some resolve in the second half to make a contest of it. North the perennial cellar dwellers will rise. After  all the AFL largesse, they can afford to play two highly touted recruits in the seconds?

 

 

 


Thank you posters  your comments were well received

north hold on to win by a goal

lots to like about jefferson, moniz-wakefield, and to a lesser extent adams with some good marks

fullarton and verrall cameos

billings, laurie, mcadam offered nothing while presume woey 2.0 was injured as he wasn't sighted - at least not by me - after half time

Why do we trade away valuable draft picks for blokes like billings and mcadam who struggle at casey

Laurie riding his opponent like a horse. Hilarious 

Should cheer the tea-leaf readers. An alternate career beckons...

As a jumps jockey.

You and me both.

Billings just can't kick.

Massive "free kick North" quarter from the umps here.  Particularly No.12

Had him penciled in as NQR earlier in the game.

I'm not entirely sure if Will Varrell will make it.

He struggles to hold his marks and there were certainly moments there in the last quarter he should have held onto a few grabs that came directly to him but soft hands meant he dropped way too many.

If you're not at least a solid enough mark as a ruckman then you're going to struggle at the elite level.

Max struggled to do anything except his knees until that fateful day in geelong.......give the kid some time. I actually thought he had some ok moments.

McAdams.......I really thought we were getting more than this guy. Hopefully he stays uninjured and gets a full preseason in........AMW.........does he come in for Bowey??

Edited by Roost it far

What's the knock on Moniz-Wakefield? First time I've had a proper chance to sit down and watch Casey this year and he looks above average. No guarantee anyone translates VFL form into AFL performance, but I think we're miles from a settled, confident AFL side forcing good Casey players to wait their turn.

Max had all the attributes of a solid ruckman that had potential.  What he's showing now he showed at VFL as well as winning a best and fairest for Casey.

I haven't seen anything from Varrell that suggest he's got those athletes attributes that he can bring to AFL level. 

On a side note AMW was very impressive.

don't think second and third round draft picks are particularly valuable

first season playing as a defender and he's coming along okay

if we didn't have a surfeit of players of a similar shape / size for defensive spots - mcvee, salem, rivers, bowey - then he may have got a look in the last few weeks

personally i'd be bringing him in for bowey this week, who i thought was below average last nite and has been for some time now

 
1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

I'd strongly disagree with that

Let's look 3-4 years ago at the draft and see who was picked up in the second and third rounds

Beau Mcreery 

Errol Gulden

Mitch owens

Paul Curtis

Jake soligo

Harvey Harrison

 

These kids are way past billings and mcadam

@old dee did you get a chance to watch Jeffo this week? I put the mozz on him last week but he kicked 4 goals today and took some impressive grabs all around the ground. Will be surprised if he gets a game this year but certainly a lot to work with.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
