I read somewhere on Twitter/X that Roy George was very lively during the Casey match. Will be fun to watch at Casey this season

    Skull Murphy’s finishing move was his lethal head but. There was no escape once he administered it. He was reputed to have a skull 5 times thicker than a normal human.

    Not a bad debut at all! 

    And from following a few of the other practice matches it seems like he had one of the better stat lines of the other rookies who played 

    I reckon we’ve got one here

    Watched the game this morning and was really happy with the performance.

    North looked ordinary, but our ball movement and spread of goalkickers was very 2018.

    I've been banging on this Chaplin drum for a while. He is brilliant and whichever line we send him to, his group elevates itself.

    Anyway, so really happy with the very solid performance, particularly without our best winger, our leading goalkicker over the last half decade, our x7 AA captain and our Norm Smith medallist to name a few. And I get on here and start reading the thread and you would think we were being belted.

    Good old Demonland. Proving that we have just as many nuffies as any other supporter group.

    10.11.71 to 18.9.117.

    So really close and worth gnashing our teeth over...

    I like a lot of the comments (more than I noted)

    AMW was great and I hope his injury doesnt set him back too far.

    The players we had out were our best 22 and it will be hard to get in the side but Langford was one obvious.

    The most influential factor was the wind, and it certainly affected the input of JVR, Disco and Jeffo and indeed all the talls. I was concerned all day that we did not structure up for the wind. When we had the wind In attack  we had noone behind the pack and North were able to clear it often. In defence when they had the win we were too far forward. TMac was great and seemed to position himself aware of the wind. Jake also played his usual role. 

    Kozzie was excellent in creating so many movements through the centre, it was obvious in the first two quarters and he really did keep us in the game. 

    The last half was a bit of a walk away as all our players finished well. 

    I liked Jeffo who did add a different aspect to the forward structure. but he will be competing with Fritta on todays performance. I would like JVR as dedicated forward with ruck duties only deep forward.

    Possibly an MCL? He was holding the inside of the knee.

    That was my suspicion, often hurts more than acl. Hoping for the best 

    Hope this is true.

    Problem might be that he's done the unhappy triad, which is where you pop the ACL, the MCL and the meniscus. The ACL is often agonising pain that subsides reasonably quickly and then becomes a dull ache inside the knee - it's hard to point to. The MCL is also painful, but lingers and is easy to identify (if a physio asks you).

    Gee I thought we had a few possibles not playing today, Gawn, Viney, Tracc, May, Windsor, Salem, Langdon might be chance to sneak in come round 1!

    And what’s the recovery road for an MCL?

    I've read two comments indicating Harvey Langford may lack pace. I'm a wrap for Harvey but is this a genuine concern or about adjusting to a quicker pace?

    Does Bont have ‘pace’? That’s who Langford reminds me of in the way he moves and kicks the footy. 
     

    don’t think it’ll be an issue for him. Gonna be a Star.

    Actually he was supposed to have a metal plate in his skull which was BS.

    And he was promoted as coming from County Cork in Ireland but was in fact Canadian.

    He’s one-paced in the same way Robert Harvey and Scott Pendlebury are. A bloody good way.

    Thought the same 'Adam'...I didn't get to watch it live and won't see the game until tomorrow night.

    ...but man I thought we were getting smashed then someone put the score up.

    My cousin claimed he saw Skull, the Brute, Mario Milano and Spiros Arion dining together in a Lygon St restaurant. He actually believed wrestling was real before then.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • 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?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
