ACL surgery for Andy Moniz-Wakefield
Call it what you will, that truly sucks. Quickly removed the buzz from yesterdayâs team performance. Believe heâs a determined young fella. Youâve just got to get up, (albeit slowly) dust yourself down and get on with it. Positive the club will back him to recover and return to the playing field. Good luck Andy.

Every Demon Rated 2025
Add Old Nick (back up back up ruck), Dickens, Mephistopheles and El Diablo (soccer crossovers), plain Satan, Lord of the Flies (bring the aero guard), and (Rupert Murdoch endorsed) Prince of Darkness. Sports Editor gets the sack and eternity in hell for his lassitude.

SSP contenders
Commiserations to Shane McAdam sadly the âSun Is not Shiningâ. âDonât Rock My Boatâ but the DL boards need to âLively Up Yourselfâ. To succeed in the AFL (âBabylon Systemâ) thereâs no âRunning Awayâ from it, clubs must âWorkâ constantly on their lists to be âTop Rankinâ. Simon, Tim and Jason aka âMidnight Raversâ given the tight timeline, hopefully wonât strike âThree OâClock Roadblockâ. Stir It Upâ and cause âBurninâ and Lootinâ here. Whoever gets the nod will leave a âPostive Vibrationâ with the DL diaspora and get âOne Loveâ. Help pull us out of the lower ladder âConcrete Jungleâ and on an upward âExodusâ. Inevitably âTime Will Tellâ.

My 3 word player analysis V Collingwood
AFL statute of limitations must be near done. If the urine samples Deepfreeze has in retention, can now return to room temperature we can all feel much relieved.

Farewell Adam Tomlinson
Yes Steven May is mere mortal like the rest of us, but l donât see a rapid fall off the cliff. In fact he is a remarkably resilient footballer. He bounces back quickly from setback and injury that might daunt others. He saw off Tom Hawkins in one of the better games for the team last season. That fearsome wack from Tommahawk which fractured his eye socket left no physical or psychological scars. His appearance in the premiership Grand Final is of course the stuff of legend. Had Astro-Naughton totally bluffed and on a tight lead. More poodle than bulldog that day. And all on one leg. Knock on wood may the injury gods be kinder to all Demons this season. Especially, so S May remains a physical marking presence on ball and on opponent. Leave the ground ball gets for the swifter, smaller defenders.

Maybe this young bloke? Part of the Casey recruitment drive for Season '25. Patrick Ireland Graduating from Gippsland Power, Ireland booted 111 goals from 20 matches this year for Buln Buln in the Ellinbank and District league, including six in the grand final. There were also bags of 14, 13 and 12. "He's got all the attributes you like in a forward," outgoing Buln Buln coach Bobby McAllum said. "He's very mobile and he takes a really good mark but what sets him apart from a lot of forwards is that he's a really good set-shot."

Casey Demons - offseason 2024/5
Of those retained Casey listed players Kai Windsor and Paddy Cross are potential late bloomers. Kaiâs time at Box Hill was cruelled by significant injury and the Corona pandemic. Paddy Crossâs pathway through Coates League and Nar Nar Goon may have been similarly affected by the covid times too. Standing at 181cm and weighing in at 70kg+. His anticipation matched by agility and speed allow him to get to the ball and win one on one contests. Mitch Szybkowski has departed for the GWS VFL team, who could be astute judges. Not afraid of the physical stuff. Strongly built but in need of a tank. Of those yet to be confirmed, fan favourite Harvey Neocleous was handy near goal. Nuclear physicists on the DL boards did get excited, âelectronsâ when Harvey swooped on the loose bouncing Higgs-Boson Sherrin near the goal square.

Not wishing to throw any more gasoline on the fire of unbridled speculation. Concerning the current incumbent of guernsey #36. Iâll leave that angst to the tea leaf readers, gypsy fortune tellers and tarot card mystics on another thread. But admittedly the question Where is Kozzie? did briefly pop up as l went deeper and deeper into the photo gallery. Yes he did appear at pic #42. Which may help those losing sleep resolve the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything Kozzie. But the waiting time for an answer took âDeep Thoughtâ 7.5 million years just to find the question. Before the answer pops out Earth was demolished to make way for an intergalactic express way. So no MCG to play on anyway.

Round the twist, Lemony Snicketâs and Dance with your Sister. School hols are just about over at Casey Fields. Now, if some of these blokes can translate the vacation promise to term one. Tom Campbell is standing in for head prefect Maxwell Gawn whoâs in rehabilitation at the moment with Matron. Who caanât get a word in edgeways despite the fractured larynx. Young Will Verrallâs been thrown in the deep end. Heâs recently been promoted from junior school, it shows. Big Tom sings the chorus line from Monty Python with gusto â Iâm a lumberjack and lâm all rightâ. So Will will just have to be satisfied with yard duty and pick up scraps from around the ground. Jack Billings fits the bill at Goodyâs holiday camp dance class performances. Sibling sisters and cousins preferred as partners of course. Christian Petracca and Jake Lever are excused, despite recent nuptials and growing young families itâs strictly non-contact. Jake Melkshamâs there, he just continues on his merry way, ensconced in the Seniorâs common room. Last yearâs truants Clayton Oliver and Shane McAdam seem to be right on track, having overcome last yearâs um ⊠attendance issues. Enrollments are up itâs all about bums on seats. Kozzyâs back, but was he really gone? Richo set us straight, donât believe everything you read in The West Australian etc. It elevates circulation and BPM. Of the new boys, Ricky Mentha Junior looks terrific, should be a breathe of fresh air. đ
