He definitely burnt a few team-mates with a couple of his goals.

But he kicked them.

We need players that kick goals and not afraid to kick goals

A bit of a fizzer after quarter time.

Inaccuracy and not great forward delivery. Hard to recall many successful forward leads.

Good win but would have liked to see more system

Utter disgrace Jefferson was dropped.

How's AJ going?

wouldn't hurt to try him as a small forward rotation with chandler in the afl

best half dozen for mine...

duursma will be a serious talent based on his first vfl performance

I want Tyson Sruk on our AFL list next year.

Mitch Hardie on a rookie contract couldn’t hurt either

Too old imo We've already got too many mature aged VFL standard players.

It's clear that this offseason is make or break for Jefferson. He needs strength and aerobic capacity, and through those attributes, to play with confidence and desire for a contest.

Billings is a known quantity and will be out of the AFL next year, but if we're serious about winning games to finish the year, he deserves a run based on his VFL form.

Got a bit of a go in the ruck in the last quarter but was barely sighted throughout the game.

are you being facetious or a fcukwit?

he's a child who barely took the field ffs

The boys put in another very good team effort today Billings being the standout I enjoyed watching the game day stats and DLand thread, could have been an annihilation but for a bit of wayward kicking after quarter time, Harry Sharp finished well as a sml fwd should. Love these no pressure games.👍😁

I see you haven't met @bluey yet.

For the record, he/she is both.

Nah. Have a look at his last goal when he was running to the right fwd pocket.

He had 3-4 players inside that he could’ve handballed to.

Once they realised it was him, and he had no intention of sharing the ball, they all stopped.

All okay if he kicks them from the boundary, over his shoulder all the time – but not exactly the percentage play.

I think this has also become a problem in the A’s.

OBSERVING by KC from Casey

The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026.

After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game.

The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.

Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

With three rounds remaining, Casey occupies ninth position with two challenging matches forthcoming, subsequent to next week’s bye. Their fate is not entirely within their control, following a dominant display culminating in a substantial victory, this time by a margin of 63 points. The Demons will welcome the bye, whilst also closely monitoring the outcomes of some of the games scheduled for the weekend.

Although they are not yet guaranteed a finals spot, and may regret a few narrow defeats at the hands of lower-ranked teams a few weeks ago, they remain well-placed to secure a wildcard game next month. But for now, it’s a matter of observing how the other contenders perform next week.

agree. another reason why Goody went back to his old ways and just stayed with the same people...and gets the same results.

Petty, Spargo, Fritch, Lever...and so many more - one game in 2's then back - even when they show nothing. no planning for future no commitment to build partnerships in fwd line with real forwards (not defemders that he trying to turn into forwards)

I have pushed back for the last 2 years and the calls to replace Goody. However after this week, i think its time. That disgusting effort yestyerday was so much on the coaches....

It's been a pleasure watching this team the last couple weeks. I really hope we can come perform strongly after the bye next week against two top ranked sides in box hill and the bears.

KC he has played numerous games for the Lions and they let him go. He has had a number of senior games this year. He is a VFL standard player nothing more nothing less.

I actually think he'd be good in a better team. He's a finisher, not one to get the ball or set it up.
