Tarax Club

Verrall showing some ruck craft at the centre bounce.

Too easy too soft (free) tiggers goal.

Sestan and Adams going Ok in defence. Laurie getting well. AJ goal!

Casey against the wind first 5 minutes Campbell Culley prominent. 1 behind a piece.

A distinctive 'chill' up here in the air this morning as I walked outside. The Dry Season is with us. Boil the kettle, get out the teapot, pop in the tea leaves. If i was still in Melbourne add the tea cozy. Allow 2-3 minutes for the tea to seep, using a tea strainer pour out the tea into your favourite cup with saucer of course. Cut a nice slice of cake (gluten free preferred) and settle down in front of the telly. Out come the Casey Demons young and old to face the tigers. Wipe the dew of the Sherrin and let the game commence.

From memory his sister went alright!

6 - Kysaiah Pickett 5 - Max Gawn 4 - Jack Viney 3 - Jake Bowey 2 - Trent Rivers 1 - Christian Petracca Erratum; post replay #7 an influential leader. Honourable mentions; Harrison Petty Tom Sparrow Kade Chandler Charlie Spargo Blake Howes Harvey Langford Ed Langdon Clayton Oliver Christian Salem Looking forward to Anzac Eve. Should be great game with both teams bringing a will to win.

Luker Kentfield after long layoff was solid, read the flight of the ball and can catch it. Will Verrall battled manfully against the UWS-GWS ruckman a.k.a 'The Hulk' not disgraced. Noah Yze very stiff at selection. In ripper form apparently last week in the amateurs. (A known pathway to success in yonder days.) Guess somebody had to give way for Fritsch and JVR. Who showed some brief flashes of brilliance. Jacob's last quarter re-united him with the footy.

Kentfield showing a bit can take nice contested grab.

Bayley Fritsch obviously a class above.

First quarter Casey look like a bunch of tanners on a picnic day can’t get their hands on it.

Phark bring out the witches hats.

Casey’s got Talent

Rather than wade through the gloomy forebodings of the apocalyptic winter of our discontent, which is this Season’s Annus horribilis. It’s an opportune moment to to scratch an itch and announce the Wade Derksen Cup. Casey Fields bright and early this Saturday morning. With the return of star alumni including Bayley Fritsch and JVR meeting this year’s boom recruit Aiden Johnson still finding his feet. Plus what could’ve should’ve or would’ve been… THE DERK has finally arrived at Casey Fields. With the AFL forward line being replaced with the VFL forward line. The selection Merry-Go-Round is now in full swing. Should be fun for all with a carnival atmosphere. (More to come). With the extended run of warm weather the Slitherers won’t in hibernation yet. Tread carefully these are venomous times. So due care is recommended and bring a snake bit kit.

For those returning from the (northern) ski season. A brief recap of the season thus far.

Was it Hope on the Highway or a Highway to Hell?

iPhone 8 could be co-incidental fault but issue never occurred prior to update. Browser is Firefox. Updates checked. Admittedly l’m a bit of a Luddite on technology matters. Thanx for your support. TC

A problem repeatedly occurred on "https://demonland.com /forums/forums/2- melbourne-demons/". Couple of omissions in that initial URL (human error). Still experiencing the same issue will try to erase the slate and try from scratch.

Update is rather 'spiffy' overall. Self-navigated some of the subtle changes to find old favourites hidden behind bushells. Desk top access appears fine. But my iPhone now keeps most annoyingly coming up this message when I attempt to go to other pages on threads or go to a new topic. A problem repeatedly occurred on "https//demonland.com /forums/forums/2- melbourne-demons/" Noticed flash message "Webpage Down" this AM. Anybody else experiencing this issue? Suggestions for correcting this would be most welcome. Cheers TC

Just sitting outside listening to Goodie’s post-match media conference and a 🐍 came slithering by. Is it the devil’s work?
