CASEY: Rd 08 vs Southport

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

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…

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
