    So, at the wedding which was held in Flemington, I offered a Carlton supporter a lift home. He declined and left early saying he had something to do first.

    Now I’m worried - was that a can of paint he was holding?

    VFL Player Focus: Kalani White (Casey Demons)

    Nostalgia was in the air as Melbourne father-son candidate and Suns Academy member Kalani White made his VFL debut for Casey Demons.

    Interesting free kick stats from the two two Kings Birthday Weekend games between the Demons and the Magpies ~

    • AFL Pies 29 frees Demons 20 frees

    • VFL Pies 33 frees Demons 17

    • Overall Pies 62 frees Demons 37 frees

    We really do play dirty, don’t we?

    Also damning is the combined scores of the two teams at the weekend.

    Demons 17.26.128 to Pies 18.12.120

    Noah Yze was among the best players for Oakleigh Chargers in their win on Friday evening against the Sandringham Dragons. Here’s the report from Rookie Me Central (note the comment on his disposal which might explain what he has to do with his game to be drafted)

    There were a number of puzzling decisions but it could have been worse.

    One thing that I can't understand is how we did not get a single free kick in the third quarter until more than 18 minutes into the term. there were at least three in that time that could easily have gone our way - more if the umpires picked up ruck infringements against Max.

    Victoria’s hold on the National Under 18 Championships has slipped with Vic Country going down narrowly to Western Australia yesterday while the Vic Metro team was demolished this morning by South Australia which won its second consecutive game and is now the early favourite to take out the title.

    Late goal gets the job done as WA downs Vic Country

    Noah was selected to play for the Oakleigh Chargers against the Sandringham Dragons in tonight’s Coates Talent League game.

    And just for the record, Noah Yze was among the best players and had 23 disposals (8 kicks, 15 handpasses), 6 tackles and 3 inside 50s and kicked a goal for Oakleigh Chargers in their 26-point win over Sandringham Dragons last night.

    Some really interesting outs for Casey..

    Yze very stiff just on a side note.

    Based on team selection announced for Casey’s game tomorrow, I expect the initial squad for the Melbourne Kings Birthday game to read ~

    IN J. Culley, B. Howes, M. Jefferson, K. Tholstrup, J. Van Rooyen

    OUT A. Johnson (suspended), B. Laurie

    Three of the named “ins” to be the emergencies.
