Spirit of the Demon

My informants tell me he’s a bit one sided - on the left.

With all of the NGA selections, where will our pick 50 actually fall?

We don’t have 33 any more.

Tom Papley wasn’t a Casey player as such - just a Gippsland Power Under 18 player who filled in a few times at Casey.

The big question is what do you do in circumstances where due to the number of academy and father/son selections, your own first pick effectively sits in the early 30s? Do you give up on the draft this year and target specific players to fill your requirements or punt heavily in a field where there are a lot of unknown quantities?

I think there are only about eight players who would be assured of playing this week.

Braydon Preuss has injured his hip. To be tested before team selection tomorrow night.

Well, there’s every chance that it could be Braydon Preuss pitted up against Mason Cox. Now, that would be interesting.

That makes two of us. So upset that I just won’t go to the game on Sunday. Dammit!

Call of the season before it becomes a complete and utter shambolic embarrassment.

Remind me which team played West Coast this year on their home ground?

What I would give for a 113 point win against anybody?

There have been enough mistakes on the part of Essendon, their player and the AFL to entitle us to the 4 points. If it happened to Collingwood, Eddie would already have a foot in the door of the Supreme Court over this.

One question that doesn’t seem to have been resolved is whether the setback is the one that was noted on Demonland on Monday as a “tight spot” and from which he had already returned to some light work including kicking with either foot on Wednesday or whether it’s something new altogether? If the media are relying on Demonland for their news, then they’re behind the times.

We really missed the boat with the smaller type player when we (along with most others) elected to play it safe and ignore Sydney Stack when he was available because of our “no d***heads” rule. We now have a number of midgets on our list who are a long way off getting a game while Garlett’s injured and probably need to trade/delist a couple of them before considering bringing in more of the same.

So, in effect, the Casey Demons could recruit a young ruckman like Riley Bowman from the Stingrays, give him an apprenticeship and then rookie him next year in the PSSP. Handy to know that. I think we can keep an eye on who Casey recruits now.

Nice way to beat the salary cap rules and being so far away from Victoria, Gil would surely never investigate let alone suspect.

So there is absolutely no value in any phantom drafts at this juncture but it’s still worth looking at who the top 20 or 30 prospects are - even as a matter of curiosity.

You need a lot more to deliver a premiership than one trade, even if one of the players traded is as highly decorated as Judd. Carlton’s strategies throughout the period after they recruited him were not good enough to deliver a flag. The Eagles finally got it right yesterday but I would argue that they got more over the years from their players than Carlton did with Judd. Irrespective of the outcome yesterday, Kennedy & Masten we’re part of 2 grand final teams and have been regular finalists. Carlton fell in and out of the finals quickly on two occasions and one year only made the finals courtesy of the doping going on at Essendon. Basil’s right this time.

That's right except that it was a year. They committed to each other in July of that year and everything else about Judd picking four clubs for interview, to be narrowed down to two and then one and even his grandmother's views on the subject were fake news.
