CASEY: Rd 08 vs Southport

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

 

Dees are dominating but not on the scoreboard.

Lever looks to be playing well.

Howes is going well also.

JVR has played well but has missed two long shots and is a very good VFL forward. (But I maintain he will be better as a defender in the AFL.)

Jefferson has one goal (after nearly dropping the uncontested mark) and missed a earlier set shot and another one kicked into the man on the mark. He is a dopey footballer.

Tholstrup just had his first kick and has been invisible.

Casey 32
Southport 27

    Mitch Hardie old fashioned quality disposal. Ollie Sestan getting leather poisoning. Jed Adams good judgement of the ball in flight.

    Adams and Kentfield will both be good AFL level defenders with time.

    Sestan surely must get a look in at AFL level at a point to see how he translates up a level.

    JVR doing more to get on the move and play in front and is marking well with softer hands.

    Howes is doing what he always does at this level and dominating but he is just one of those tweeners where it doesn’t quite translate at the top.

    all of our defenders look better when lever is on the ground with them

    he's just such a 'presence' in the defensive set up

    Sestan, Howes and Adams all having good games. With Jake due to go off after half a game. Will watch Second half efforts with interest.

    I think Blake has been pretty unlucky at the top level this year. He hasn't struggled IMV, but he hasn't had huge impact and there are other defenders ahead him.

    I just wonder if they need to try him on the wing or at half forward where he played his junior footy.

    I reckon we're gonna be alright for tall defenders, which will enable us to play Turner and probably Petty forward long term.

    Is it just my dodgy internet or is anyone else having issues with the broadcast?

    Just the usual Smithy’s quality blurry occasionally but comes back into focus. Camera work is generally acceptable though.

    100 odd AFL fantasy points at half time is not too shabby.

    Umpiring is reliably inconsistent back to the AFL amateur standard.

    I’m sorry but for the love of god can someone tell Van Rooyan to use 2 hands to mark a football. Whoever is coaching him has what should be a very simple issue to solve - use 2 f$&ing hands.

    It’s driving me insane watching this Casey game with him trying to do the same one handed mark attempt and dropping it again and again…

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
