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.

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.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
