CASEY: Rd 10 vs Sydney Swans

KC from Casey
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Amazing last quarter.

Turnovers disappeared and we simply bludgeoned the ball forward.

When you would expect JVR and Jeffo to cash in it was everyone else.

As a useful development game... 6.5/10. Would have got closer to 8 but for the never ending turnovers in the first three quarters.

Unfortunately Tholstrup was middling but I'll keep an eye on Culley over the next few weeks.

Might drop into Vic Park for next week's game.

    if i was doing votes, based on the 3 and a bit quarters i watched, i'd go:

    6: billings
    5: campbell
    4: jefferson
    3: baldi
    2: bonner
    1: culley

    and the rest of the mfc players who i thought played well were van rooyen, sestan, howes, tholstrup, and mentha

    Sydney losing by 87 points and have 3 of the top 4 goal scorers on the park

    Pretty sure that would have never happened before

    Also they kicked 9 goals with only 3 scorers. never seen that either

    Literally a trivial post

    A bigger disappointment would be seeing him in the seniors. We need to move beyond those who can't finish.

    Casey basking in the warm winter Sydney sun. Surrounded by Port Jackson Figs at the picturesque Tramways Oval . Which appears to be redolent of the ‘convict’ built style. With a considerable tonnage of gray Grollo concrete thrown in. Multiple freeways in the background.

    Turf of course would be a mix of Kikuyu with a sprinkling of Buffalo [censored] and Couch grass thrown. Ball bounce was magnificent.

    Thank you ball girls and boys. Smithy's commentators and the camera person. Kudos to the greenskeeper. The Sun really shone thru. Casey you were a revelation.

    EL JEFFO CANTINA Another 5 goals after 5 last week, well well well.

    A very strong game Mr Fence.

    The next two weeks are very important for young Matt. Needs to continue showing a physical style of game. Casey really need a small forward to assist in his development

    My guess is that JVR will be the first to get the call up.

    Petty staying forward is the main cause of the log jam.

    An 11 goal last quarter to the Casey Demons and a great win. It’s not hard to win against lowly teams but this was sublime.

    depends on the role i would think

    jvr gets much further up the ground (like petty, fritsch) as a leading chf whereas el jefe plays closer to goal (like melksham, aj / gawn when stationed forward)

    can't remember jvr having a run in the ruck but he was credited with one hit out, and i would think if he was coming in it would be to replace johnson as that key target / occasional ruck relief role

    I thought he was very good today in his work rate, clean hands and quality kicking. I am still unsure how he fits at AFL intensity but if he keeps presenting and making most of chances like he did today he could well develop an AFL career.

    Yep, back to back solid games with good intensity.

    Times his leads super well.

    That last quarter was what we should be doing more often.

    That’s what happens when we don’t turn it over all the time. 11.2–0.2 last quarter, not bad.

    At the moment JVR's best is definitely better than AJ and Jefferson. He has to fix whatever is holding him back quickly.

    JVR is a riddle.When he goes for marks two handed he can clunk them .Why then does he consistently go for them one handed ,even at VFL level ?

    He seems to be getting unbalanced before he goes for the ball. Sometimes it’s the opposition just pushing on one side. Verrall is also having the same problem.

    They are both misjudging slightly and getting stuck under the ball too much. Could be as simple as playing less with their phones/screens?

    Disposal efficiency surprised me there. Still don’t quite believe it. Looked more like a blunt force instrument rather than a scythe.

    Didn't see the game but 8 marks for JVR is a very good sign. Hopefully he is building some confidence.

    Would love to see more stats like this from Culley next few weeks.

    Yes DS17 Jai Culley surprised me too.

    Positive signs of cleaning up the field disposal and the goal kicking. Has some assets with his height and strength as you allude too. Marking, mobility and awareness are there.

    The elusive wriggle gathering the ball in play and the foot pass to young Sruk inside the F50 was a highlight. Beginning to see how he got the Rising Star nod out West.

    I just feel that if Laurie can’t prove his worth at AFL level it will be Culley who gets the next shot. I love his size, finals and big games love a big strong body and he has that. Going to be an interesting watch.

    From what I have heard but not seen myself, that might be his issue. He seems to have all the other tools.

    Not super quick but appears good by foot, I imagine he can break a tackle. Are Sparrow, Langford, Petracca and Oliver quick?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
