Maybe, Adonski!

Though the pronunciation and double N might call for a double S and different pronunciation?

A pretty nasty virus results 😬

    A great debut.. leave him in the seniors for the rest of the year.

    The more game time and experience he gains the better he'll be at AFL level.

    Didn't look out of place, what happens when Salo is back though?

    Congratulations young man a fine debut and you didn't look out of place. He has a bit of toe!

    I am only too glad to eat humble pie. I considered him a very good VFL player whose basic game would not transfer over to the AFL. Boy, was I wrong. His awareness and intensity were top notch and his decision making was a very pleasant surprise. I reckon he has Bowey's spot for the time being, considering how out of form Bowey has been.

    Interesting that so much of our play in the last quarter looked to lack composure, but AMZ seemed to remain composed. He did run out of gas though, which is to be expected on debut in the Brisbane humidity.

    Projecting forward, and I may perhaps be in fantasy land here, but in a few years I can see him with the tools to be a very capable midfielder. He's tough, got agility and speed, tackles well and can break lines. Give him the license to see ball get ball and he's going to win a lot of contested footy.

    A lot of AMW’s possessions at Casey have been playing on in kick -ins.

    On his debut tonight he may even step up one day next season and assist the kick ins. 

    Thought tonight we did get superb distance but just every now and again we should go short and start a run from the back.

    Our ability  to discover  potentially good half backs is amazing. We need to if Riv is going to perform in the guts. Seems set for a fine even more impactful career if he can fine tune his disposal.

    Great debut. Stuck some fantastic tackles, seemed to play naturally and not overawed. 
    Rivs ain’t going back the back line and Bowey, Salem, McVee, Howes have comp for the spot back there.

    Tough in the contest, fast and has lots of desire. Started off a bit fumbly but worked into the game and made a big impact. Disposal is still a bit NQR but he is here to stay.

    Great get. Now to enhance his experience and talent - or is that beyond our coaching methodology?

    Outstanding 

    He's got that 'Laurie Fowler' style on the run, straight into good tackles, takes the bump and emerges with the ball, kicks to improve the team positioning - now for the forwards to be able to read it all (with movement to make him targets).

    Will be our 5th debutant for the year. We could have 8 players this week with less than 50 games experience and 10 under 24 years of age.

    There is a pleasing reality: these newbies punctuating our team nearly knocked off a very hot team (Brizzy) playing without good fortune and disrespectful umpiring.

    Shaky start with a few of his touches but built into the game nicely, has pace and aggressiveness, done enough to get a few games to see what happens

    A really solid debut - exceeded expectations, I would say. He looked very poised for a first gamer and looks to have a bright future.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
