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.

    quite right, rab.  casey is a big place and casey fields itself does in fact contain a slithera.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
