I gather the Saints want two first round draft picks.

That Luke Jackson?

Should never have drafted this banged up pug!

Just now, Whispering_Jack said:

You could argue that we're not really off track since we finished second after the H & A season but in the spirit of seeking perfection and the fact that there's been an announcement of one major player moving on, we're going for the back on track tack.

Agreed, we need to bolster our ruck stocks now that Majak's moving on ... oh wait.

THE CASEY SHOW by KC from Casey

The Casey Demons will play in the VFL Grand Final at Ikon Park next Sunday after overturning their final round loss to the Brisbane Lions Reserves and dominating the Preliminary Final to emerge victorious by 51 points. 

And while the distance in standards between the AFL and VFL at finals time is admittedly a wide one and the opposition and conditions different, there were a few Demons on display who excelled to the point where one was left to ask whether they could have made the difference had they taken part in proceedings the night before at the MCG. 

For instance, Casey controlled the aerial duels in this match with a superiority all over the ground of 81 marks to 36. The discrepancy was clear everywhere and it set the scene for a confidence-laden display that was in stark contrast to that of the Melbourne which busted the game apart in the first half and slowed to close to a standstill in the end. One cannot help but wonder how that forward line would have performed with the boundless enthusiasm of key forward Jacob Van Rooyen with his marking strength and the experience and the strength of Tom McDonald. Each of them contributed three goals from key forward positions.

The Demons made a slow start against the breeze at Casey Fields. They conceded the first goal and took a little over half of the opening stanza to record their first major when Andy Moniz-Wakefield took advantage of a great pass from Luke Dunstan. A couple more late in the term opened up a 13 point lead at the first break which they extended to 33 by half time.

Unlike their AFL counterparts, the Casey variety of Demonkind never relented. Indeed, they picked up a head of steam and, with winners all over the field they smashed the Lions in the premiership quarter to go into the final break with a comfortable lead and then coasted to record a comfortable victory in the end. It was a case of the best from Casey on show.

Casey had winners everywhere with their control of the key forward positions and an impenetrable defence led by Adam Tomlinson, Matt Buntine, Corey Ellison and Jake Bowey who was quite dynamic on the day and was another who showed the crowd what might have been if only the Melbourne selectors had shown some more risk and daring. 

The Demons dominated the midfield positions through veteran Jimmy Munro and Luke Dunstan with the run and pace of Toby Bedford and Kade Chandler always a factor in  overturning the Brisbane dominance of their Round 22 encounter.

Special mention should be made of Sam Weideman’s performances in the ruck. Despite his size, he has been growing (pardon the pun) nicely into the role and one wonders whether the Demons will try to develop him in the role going forward.

The Demons also have plenty to look forward to in the form of their Northern Territory Next Generation Recruit Andy Moniz-Wakefield who shows all of the trademarks of a potential X Factor player of the future. Another in that category is Blake Howes who has the height and pace to fill several roles with another pre season or two behind him. Both will benefit from the experience of a final series at this level. With Bailey Laurie, Taj Woewodin and Deakyn Smith all out this week, there is a depth of talent available for the club to reboot in future years.

However, there’s a premiership to be won in the meantime. Casey’s opponent will be decided later today when Southport and Gold Coast Reserves meet in the Second Preliminary Final.

Congratulations to KC on becoming a Kings Counsel (I assume that’s what it stands for) now that Charlie has been promoted.

Forward entries this quarter straight out of our AFL handbook. High bombs picked off with monotonous regularity.

Strange because the first quarter was a great example of good delivery

They moved into audition mode for the seniors at quarter time.

Now look. I don’t usually complain about the umpires and I’m fully aware that it’s a hard task recruiting umpires but fair go.

There has to be a royal commission into what took place at Adelaide Oval today.

Here’s an example of what I’m talking about. What in blazes is this all about?

We’ve been suffering from bad umpiring ever since Mick Warner took over from Gillon McLachlan as AFL CEO.

Could we take a supporter’s vote on this please?

I will be surprised (and bordering on another word that starts with s and ends in peechless) if he gets drafted.  In fact, I actually think he isn't a good player at all, basically, man against boys inside giver who is probably too slow and the Stingrays would be better off without him.  That's how much I don't like his game.  His game at Morwell was borderline awful, turning it over by hand repeatedly in traffic, lazy tracking back, dropping marks in open space et cetera, falling into packs, clogging the game et cetera. Most of his tackles are dropping on the top of a player at ground level and most of his touches are little gives that don't amount to much. His stoppage pressure factor is almost non-existent.  The last game he played at NAB level he did some shocking things.   Other than having reasonably quick hands inside at times, and neat by foot at times,  I've not seen anything of AFL standard from him, apart from pretty stats and I think he got mentioned in a team of the week somewhere because he got 36 possessions.

At the risk of you calling me a troglodyte again and for some reason not getting banned, it would really help coverage of junior football on this site if you wouldnt just drop names out of thin air without watching them and if that's not the case, rewatch some of the Stingrays games and then put some actualy reasoning why you rate them, because it's bizarre, though not surprising, that if your covering so much football his is the name you pluck out.  But I think I've worked out what's happening.  I think maybe you think he will be a forward.

 

 

So that’s a no from you?

Have any more PCR test results come in this afternoon?

Change of venue for tomorrow’s scheduled training session from Casey Fields to Sorrento Recreational Reserve. There will be a short craft session followed by a two kilometre time trial to the Sorrento Hotel to celebrate the first anniversary of the infamous bonding session of last year recreating an afternoon of pokies, ponies and [censored] [Memo to email that [censored] Warner that it’s “bonding” not “bondage”]. 

Hello. What is this Demonland or Readers Digest?

Agreed. Let’s not forget that he wasn’t rated by most of the draft experts and nobody expected his drafting to be challenged by other clubs. It wouldn’t hurt him to be given a number in the 40s along with Judd McVee, Andy Moniz-Wakefield and Daniel Turner. They can work their way up from there.

And maybe if they work real hard and establish themselves in the team they can be like Ben Brown … oh, wait.

if his high school high jump records are true, i think the aoc is a bigger threat - by the time the 2032 olympics roll around in his home town of the gold coast he'll be cherry ripe to claim a medal

The Olympics will take place out of season. He can do the high jump, play NBL for the Brisbane Bullets and ruck for the Dees in the same calendar year.

Looking forward to one of the recruiters at some club to fall asleep on screen.
