CASEY DEMONS V FOOTSCRAY VFL - Round 5
Weideman played well (I thought). Presented well and besides Mitch White was our only forward option. If he had held most of his marks that he went for we would be talking about him dominating the game. Got his hands to marks many times but just couldn't quite hold them. May come back in but another solid game with Casey should really boost his confidence. Spargo was good and was a link player with short kicks to position but probably didn't do enough for his ability. Baker is returning to some of the good form he showed last year prior to injury. Petty continues to impress. Corey wagner busted his gut all game and continues to press for higher honours, but will probably only get selected if another midfielder is injured. Sparrow the best of our young players and Jordan looks good. Both Chandler and Bedford struggle to get into the game.

Robert Walls is tipping the Dees for the flag
I was fortunate enough to chat with Robert Walls after our match against Carlton earlier in the year. He was most complimentary of our team that day, as well as our talented young list and our game style. I didn't realise he had a soft spot for the Dees.

Casey Demons v Sandringham - Round 19
Bugg had 28 disposals today. Always contributes, though some games are a little quieter. Provides plenty of forward pressure. With injuries mounting up he could still be a chance.

Oskar Baker out for 6 weeks with Hamstring
And it didn't look that bad when he did it! I initially thought he had cramp and the physios worked on him for a while near the interchange bench. I thought Mitch King's knee injury was worse, yet he is a 50/50 chance this week! Ironic!

Casey Demons v Northern Blues - Round 18
Corey Machaya is certainly a player to keep an eye on. He seems to get better with every game I see him in. He is elusive, clean hands in packs and delivers well be foot.

Casey Demons v Northern Blues - Round 18
Once Mitch King went off injured Tim Smith was moved into the ruck and I thought her performed really well, winning several tap outs to advantage and as usual competing strongly around the packs, laying some great tackles. I was surprised that Filopovic was not moved onto the ball at this time, but was kept in the forward line. I worry that this may be Filopovic's last year, as I do not think the King and Lachie have really come on as much as would have been hoped.

Casey Demons v Northern Blues - Round 18
Totally agree with you. Dec has had a really consistent year and has shown he can be a most versatile player, playing predominantly back, but able to go forward and take a grab, kick a goal, but also play in the ruck at a pinch. If we don't keep him on the list there should be a few other sides that take a serious look at him.

Coburg Lions v Casey Scorpions - VFL Round 1
Extremely strong side. Should be a very convincing win, especially with players pressing for senior selection. Kent and Frost's good form was rewarded with selection this week, so players must perform if they hope to play with the seniors. Hopefully Brayshaw can play well.
