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.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
