Bail- 12 disposals. (8 kicks, 4 hb)

bartram- 19 disposals, 8 marks. (10k, 9hb)

Bell- 27 dspls. Would have had 6+ tackles and he stood out in this regard. He was our best in my opinion.

Cheney- 16 dspls, 8 marks. Didn't get that much of it. Just a so-so game from him. I don't think he will be promoted after this game.

Dunn- 21 dspls, 8 marks. He has never had under 20 touches when playing for Casey. Deserves a recall.

Hughes- 17 touches. Could have won the game. Didn't play great, but he was still good.

Maric- 10 disposals. Kicked into the man on the mark from 15 metres out. inexcusable. The coach was not happy with his game as he also refused to pick up a man on several occassions.

McKenzie- 15 dspls. He could play at afl level and he would probably fit in okay. Has no outstanding qualities but his clearance work is pretty good.

Newton- 19 dspls. 14 kicks. He played a good game. 3 goals, 3 behinds. missed some easy shots...but also kicked a very important goal in the last quarter. Defensive pressure was the best of the forwards once again.

Wheately- 16 dspls. Wasn't that dominant. I think he should have kicked longer on occassions. And definitely should have taken the kick-outs instead of Silvagni

Strauss- 17 dspls. (10k, 7 hb, 8 marks). Kicked a great goal from 55m on the run and despite not getting all that much game time this was by far his best game for the year. Disposals are fantastic. He needs to raise his eyes though and kick longer instead of wasting his disposals with short kicks. We need him as a midfielder delivering to forward 50m targets, not the half-back line.

Valenti- 23 touches. One of our best, like usual.

Two of Newtons goals were about 2-3 metres out, running in and/or assisted. Sodas.

Strauss, Valenti, Dunn, Bell and/or Cheney could be given a call up depending on who gets dropped to Casey from the seniors IMO.

Excited that Strauss finally got a bit of the ball.

he doesn't need a ton of possessions to be dangerous.

Will play for the MFC before the year is out.

Good to see strauss improving, needs to play with a bit more confidence and desire thoough.

Only saw 2 and half quarters of the game but from what i saw strauss isnt anywere ready yet. Out in the open he is a beautiful kick but under pressure twice i saw he just kicked it away without looking. Give him a few more for casey and make him demand his spot for Melbourne through hard work.
