Demonland

He is a first year player who has exceeded all expectations from when he was drafted in terms of the impact he would have in his first year. He will be a better player in 2019 for the experience in 2018. Agree that he will need to bulk up over the offseason but I have confidence that with another full preseason this will occur. Very happy with Sparticus this year.

Spargo kicked 2 goals. I think JKH is more likely to make way for Melksham.

Was only his second game back from a long injury and Casey had a bye last week. I think his selection ahead of Kent and Bugg was telling from pecking order point of view. With Melksham likely (?) to be back this week selection after a 90+ point win will be very interesting.

Yay or Nay. Jonesy is all for it.

It was the forgotten return of the round but I thought vanders showed why he deserves a place in the team. I loved the crowds reactions when he came on the field and we he got the ball. I was disappointed that we did not get to hear the roar of the crowd when he kicked a goal and he had 2 chance to do just that. Welcome back vanders.

MOVING FORWARD by KC from Casey The Casey Demons moved another step closer to top spot on the ladder with a comprehensive 91-point victory over the Northern Blues at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons won the toss, kicked with the advantage of the strong northerly breeze and used it to the utmost benefit as goal after goal flowed with regularity from Sam Weideman within the first minute. By the time the siren blared to end the first term, the home side almost nine goals in front. The Blues regrouped after the break and opened their account early in the second quarter but the Demons fought back and went almost goal for goal till the main break so that their opponent had barely made any inroads. Casey piled on the goals in the early part of the third term but the Blues tightened their game midway through the quarter and played their best football to keep the Demon lead to 75 points at three quarter time. The home side maintained control despite kicking against the breeze in the final term adding four goals to one to run out 15 goal winners. One of the highlights of the game from the perspective of the Casey Demons was the contribution of the VFL listed contingent. Former Kangaroo Corey Wagner was outstanding picking up 26 disposals, executing 10 tackles and booting 4 goals 3 to be clearly best on ground. Not far behind was former Tasmanian Jay Lockhart who hasn’t missed a beat playing all 15 games since coming to the club at the beginning of the year. He picked up 25 touches, eight tackles and kicked two goals. Lively Cory Machaya is in his third season at the club but this year, he is fit, healthy and firing. He played his best game yet against Northern Blues racking up 27 disposals along with his two goals. Former AFL-listed Demon Mitch White was in sublime form on comeback from injury, scoring three goals. Casey was well served by veteran Cam Pedersen who picked up 24 possessions and marked everything that came his way when in defence and also chipped in with a goal. He had great support from Declan Keilty who was also excellent whether in attack or defence while Sam Weideman also performed strongly with early goals and then exerting himself in the ruck when Mitch King went down with what appeared to be a knee injury. Tim Smith was also good chipping in to help out at the ruck contests. Whilst not outstanding, Jayden Hunt did enough in his comeback game from injury to raise hopes of an imminent return to the Melbourne team with another week or two at this level. Oskar Baker was full of run until an injury in the third quarter ended his day and Mitch Hannan did well, particularly early in the day. The team sits in second place to Richmond, with 11 wins on end and a game in hand over the Tigers who have a bye coming up in a fortnight. Casey is at home next Saturday to 11th placed Sandringham.

They have to take into account the injury. Match review aren't consistent though.

As stated in this thread by others this is fake news. He was a serial pest but that doesn't warrant a worse penalty over a golden boy. I'm not saying Bugg didn't deserve the time nor that Gaff is a golden boy.

Here's "closer" vision.

Holy moly. Not good vision for the match review panel to see. Carlton doctor could make it look even worse. Jeez hope the kid is ok.

You were right except strangely they're blaming Brayshaw for being ugly.

And the player he king hit played the next week.

Not possible unfortunately. All forum software that I have encountered has this issue.

?

I thought Joel's attack on the footy was outstanding. Won't be easy to fill his spot until Hibberd is ready.

I don't often cast votes myself but here goes. 6.Oliver 5. Harmes 4. Salem 3. Brayshaw 2. Hogan 1. Petracca Honourable mention to Gawn and Garlett.

What are you objecting to here? Playing for us in 2019 or that we'll be reigning premiers?

If he gets 7 or 8 weeks and is ineligible for Round 1 can we still play him in the JLT. Too soon?

I wonder how close Hibberd is considering he is still listed as 2-3 weeks which is what he was listed as when he initially got the injury.

And that’s all folks!!!

Cast those votes please 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
