KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Once upon a time there was the real VFL. Non-performing umpires who made rule interpretation stuff ups were sent to the bush. In the hope improvement was possible or they’d simply disappear. So ends today’s fairytale.

    Billings with a nice dribble goal in the wet puts Casey up by 4 points.

    Jefferson watch:

    4 touches

    3 marks

    1 goal

    EDIT: 5 touches with an outstanding pass to McAdam who misses

    Nice kick from Jeffo to set McAdam up, feels like we're seeing improvement from him each week now

    Casey system looking good, but terrible conditions making it a slog. Jefferson persistently presenting and they are finding him. Our smalls looking good.

    Opponents arms pinned ball release is neither by kick or handball. Play on what happened to HTB?

    Kentfield has a set shot and somehow hits the very top of the goalpost.

    Sestan good mark but is he at the crossroads in the next few months?  

    Just isn't getting alot right, other than the odd opportunist goal or goal assist and the work rate / skills / positioning and defence are pretty average.  No speed across the ground either.

    Adams looking like he might be a bust?  I just can't see any weapons or skills that would see him capable of stepping up to AFL level.  He barely impacts at this level.

    Another BS rule ‘amendment’ full back can run 20+ meters to kick out after behind. Complete the farce erase or enlarge the goal square.

    For me Sestan is all about his fitness capacity, because he needs to be able to cover ground AND have burst speed to play his role.

    So I reckon an extension for Sestan is about whether they thing another preseason is what he needs, rather than pure talent.

    The more accurate Bullants lead 6.2.38 to Casey 4.8.32 late in the second term.

    I’m looking after my iPhone in the wet up here so reports are not going to be made regularly through the afternoon.

    Too laconic for mine though deanox.  The 'want' / work rate factor, even at this level, just isn't there this season.  In very small patches...yes occasionaly.

    I know people are keen to write Laurie off, but he is as hard as a cats head.. some incredible tough efforts in the wet today. would love to see him have a look at Chandlers spot.

    he doesn't provide the defensive pressure

    laurie will either make it as a mid at afl level or he'll have a long vfl career a la mitch white

    Nothing at all weird DistrAction.  Par for the course.

    Yep. Jury's out for me but if we drop out of the finals race in the near future I think it's time to give him a run at games at AFL level. Seems like a player lacking confidence when his in the senior team but it's hard to fault his form in the VFL. He is contracted so let's find out. Would be a bonus if he showed something with the 'big boys'.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
