Hmm today I have travelled to Singapore. My GD was playing under 16 basketball the game finished and I could get the result and stats 10 minutes after the game finished on an airplane. The VFL is a joke. Oh her team won.

    Tbf you can get all the VFL stats from a regular season game on the AFL website. They are obviously just not doing It for a practice match.

    It’s funny, 30-40 years ago we didn’t even know which players were drafted or traded until it was reported in a newspaper. Now we are unhappy to not get stats for a reserves practice match!

    It’s the 21st century DA! Why can’t someone from the VFL , Casey or MFC do this it’s not rocket science.

    I’m at a DA working bee right now and one of the guys was at the match yesterday. 

    He confirmed that Ricky M was incredible in the second half, didn’t stand out in the first half. He said Hendo and Jai were good and he was pleased with their performance.

    This guy is a Casey aficionado and says in general Casey was very strong and impressive. 

    Charles only played one half. Jeffo took several good marks and kicked at least two goals.

    No injuries 🥳

    Mentha was solid down back, from I was since read he continued to play well.

     

    Interesting that he played down back. Perhaps it's in response to the loss of AMW and to a lesser extent McVee.

    Thanks for the report DeeV

    Interesting dc I don’t think they have news papers any longer up here. Everyone has some sort of electronic device. Get on a train and not one newspaper or book to be seen. Everyone is watching news, movies and shows. There are from what I have seen no newspapers to be seen anywhere. None in hotel lobby or breakfast restaurant. Ideal place for the electronics world. Big population in a small area, easy and cheap to provide the internet.

    Strange…I was of the understanding that Casey have a large following in Singapore. I was told by my friend who operates a stall at the Newton Food Centre, that there’s a guy named Hung who does road maintenance around the Johor Causeway area, and who owns a transistor radio that he has permanently tuned into Casey Radio. If you ask around, you might be able to track him down and get some stats.

    Oh, and as an aside, my medication seems to be doing its job.

    Good to hear hardtack. I rang causeway construction and they said Hung is on annual leave. Believe he was visiting a rel in Melbourne.

    I got Mr. Hung’s private number off the internet. When I called there was a recorded message ‘I’m Hung, leave a message if you want your causeway maintained.’

    What's Casey in Chinese characters

    Sure! The name "Casey" in Chinese characters can be transliterated as 凯西 (Kǎi xī). The pronunciation is "Kǎi" for 凯 and "xī" for 西. Remember, this is just a phonetic representation and may not have the same meaning as the original English name.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
