Trent Zomer (Reserves) - 17 kicks 4 handballs 12 marks 5 goals 8 behinds

I know it was only reserves, but thats some nice numbers.

13 scoring shots.

Maybe he can finally crack a seniors game?

    Can't argue with that. It was very much a snooze and, as you can imagine, difficult to assess the relative performances.

    Good news is that Casey is now in fourth place after coming from a long way down following a thrashing at Sandringham in round 1 and a narrow defeat to Port Melbourne in Round 2.

    FWIW here are some of the pertinent stats from the game(s). I've included Trent Zomer's effort in the reserves - he kicked 5.8!

    Clint Bartram - 17 kicks 12 handballs 4 marks 8 tackles 1 goal 0 behinds

    Daniel Bell - 14 kicks 18 handballs 6 marks 1 goal 1 behind

    Kyle Cheney - 12 kicks 8 handballs 6 marks

    Lynden Dunn - 17 kicks 7 handballs 9 marks 3 goals 2 behinds

    Paul Johnson - 14 kicks 10 handballs 8 marks

    Jordie McKenzie - 9 kicks 8 handballs 4 marks

    Brad Miller - 9 kicks 9 handballs 6 marks 2 goals 3 behinds

    Michael Newton - 13 kicks 8 handballs - 4 marks 7 tackles 4 goals 3 behinds

    Shane Valenti - 7 kicks 8 handballs 1 mark 1 goal 0 behinds

    Matthew Whelan - 5 kicks 13 handballs 1 marks 5 tackles

    I thought PJ was great in the ruck and covered plenty of ground to link up and take contested marks. A few of his possessions were just terrible though, including a couple where he stuffed up a bounce right in front of the crowd, that seems to stick in my mind more than anything else he did all day.

    Dissapointed Jordie didn't get a bit more of the ball, there were a few possessions there that just looked great. He has good pace and foot skills.

    Cheney very strong, has a good set of hands on him, he hits a marking contest with impeccable timing.

    Newton, is working very hard on his second efforts, still can't kick.

    Bartram, worked hard all day, let himself down with his disposal at times.

    Dunn was BoG for me, though I do admit I lost interest after a while so there may have been others that performed better.

    Can't remember seeing Bell, Whelan or Valenti a lot, but then I did tend to float towards the casey forward line more often than not.

    Valenti's figures...? Is he injured or was it a quiet game?

    He played last week in the seniors against Willi. And couldnt get a sniff of it, didnt look anywhere near as desperate to win the footy as Newton did. Its frustrating as obviouslsy he has the ability to boss them at reserves level but doesnt appear willing or able to make the next step up in itensity.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
