Every club in the land would have given Oliver the same contract we did based off his 2021/2 form (Back to back Coaches MVP!!!) Not sure you'd say the same thing for Walsh

The best he has looked at any level has been as a physical defensive midfielder He should be modelling his game on Steele melbournefc.com.auLatest Video | Melbourne Football ClubWatch the latest interviews and highlights from the Melbourne Football Club

They will select a team off the body of work of preseason rather than an isolated praccy game

I predict more Langford CBA's in the next praccy game

Melksham played VFL https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1959428/vfl-report-dees-tick-off-first-practice-match Sounds like Matthews played well IN THREE terms at Casey Fields, the Demons have put in their first test against opposition for the 2026 VFL pre-season. After four quarters of AFL, the VFL sides returned to the field for a practice match on Friday. Among Casey’s VFL players were 10 AFL-listed Demons including Jake Melksham, Christian Salem, Harry Sharp, Ricky Mentha Jnr, Oscar Berry, Xavier Taylor, Luker Kentfield, Tom Matthews and Riley Onley. It was a tight contest for the duration of the three terms, with momentum swings creating a number of lead changes throughout. The Demons saw signs of impressive plays across the ground as they look to build further connection among the group in the lead up to Round 1. Kentfield featured in the first term having put in a solid performance during the previous AFL game, getting an early call-up following Brody Mihocek’s sidelining with concussion. During the earlier AFL match, Kentfield kicked three goals while supporting Max Heath in the ruck. It would be fair to assume that after that type of display, he was done for the day, but the youngster pushed through to the VFL match, adding another goal to his tally. Young Demon Matthews showed moments of excitement, the 18-year-old kicking two goals and wowing the crowd with a spectacular speccy that saw him sit atop a pack of players. Fellow draftee Riley Onley got among the goal-kicking action, booting a whopping score from the arc, while VFL-listed Demons Brayden Laplanche and Tairon Ah-Mu impressed with two goals apiece. Casey will now turn its focus to next week’s second practice match against Richmond, taking place at Casey Fields on Saturday 28 February at 11am. CASEY DEMONS 5.1 7.2 12.5 (77) NORTH MELBOURNE 3.2. 8.7 11.12 (78) GOALS Casey Demons: 2 Matthews, Laplanche, Ah-Mu, 1 Bowden, Cross, Cheffers, Sharp, Onley, Kentfield

Play twice: Brisbane, Geelong, Hawthorn, Greater Western Sydney, St Kilda, Melbourne First four: Geelong (H), West Coast (H), Richmond (A), Melbourne (A) Last three: Greater Western Sydney (A), Brisbane (A), St Kilda (A) Byes: Round three, round 12 Thursday/Friday matches: 0/4 (Total: 4) Five-day breaks: 0 Fixture Degree of difficulty: 40 (second hardest)

Yeah anyone got a Casey report?

McVee thinks he still plays for Melbourne, not done much in this praccy game

It was a praccy game so he didn't break a sweat 🫣

I think we need to keep Langford in the middle Need to see more from JVR, Jeffo, Windsor next week Best game I've seen Howes play

X Lindsay playing a great game

Heath, Kentfield look like AFL players Need to see more from JVR, Jeffo Where's Miohcek?

Jobbers

Suns don't move me

You could [censored] on a Jeffo deniers leg and tell them it's raining

A good chance to kick our third most goals this year after Fritsch & Pickett

Is Jeffo Clavicular? #niche

Don't think his style of play translates into AFL footy

Koz

Kentfield should be playing ahead of a few of these WA duds
