Casey Practice Match Vs De La Salle

[Allen Jakovich 516]

Anyone able to provide a review of the form of some of the Melb boys tonight?

Really keen to hear how Garland, Watts, Maric, Gysberts, Martin, Blease etc fare if they are actually playing...

[Little Goffy 14,639]

Aparently, Newton snagged 29 posessions and kicked 4 goals and is in the side for saturday.

How 'bout that?

Let's face it, as much as we've already been driven mad by the tastes of wonder he sometimes deliver and the chewing cardboard at other times, we're all quietly, secretly, happy that he's had a red hot go and is getting a chance.

He is, after all, a Demon, so best of luck to him.

Umm, have you been smoking hashish?

Newton won't be playing tonight if he's playing Saturday...

Did anyone get a glimpse of Casey tonight? Would love an update if possible?

Was the game played tonight? there seems to no information on any site.

[Prof 15]

I wasn't there but received the following message:

Sam Blease played 3 quarters & received a cork thigh, Cheney played well, Paul Johnson played OK and Jack Watts didn't play at all.

Happy Easter

Uhh... no. No hashish here.

I just dropped in a short comment about a player, based on an MFC selection article, which seemed relevant to the thread in terms of both who might be playing and how a player was going.

But yeah, I appreciate your constructive feedback and look forward to further insights.

Yes, but the thread is about what happened in the practise match on Thursday night. You posted about what had happened in the previous practise match on the Saturday. Newton didn't play Thursday night so ....??

Why didn't Jack Watts play? Please don't tell me he's injured again?

Unless he's an emergency for Sats game which I find highly unlikely.

Maric - OK Needs to apply self & believe more.

Blease - Quick, nice kick, did I say quick, with a another burst of acceleration as well.

Martin - good with a lot to learn, did some nice things, needs time as a forward to develope.

Cheney - Very good with ball use, good decisions, will turn into a good player as he adjusts to the AFL tempo.

TMac - Smarts, attacking won plenty of the ball & attacked but got sloppy turning the ball over too many times, not normally as erratic, trying to be attacking made some mistakes. Talented.

PJ - Had a good hitout for about 2&half or 3 Qtrs.

Needs miles in legs - 2 - 3 weeks.

No garland

No Watts.

Alls good.

Great ground down there @ twilight atmosphere, for a twilight VFL game.in warm weather.

Hello Mr. Dunbar. Thanks for your report. I just wanted to ask if you watched the game sitting in one of the trees outside the ground and were you disguised as a koala?

[Felix 92]

No Watts.

I thought the plan was to play him to get his match fitness up, is there something we are missing here?

Is Garland ready for round 3?

What was the score vs De La Salle ?

While I can't give you the score I can say that Casey won by a few goals. The game was a reasonable hit out for the Casey players with the mood among them a bit sombre because of the viscious attack on their skipper earlier in the week.

The Scorpions face a tough game first up next Saturday night under lights v Geelong. They had a slow start last year and will be keen to win for their skipper.

No, not last week. I was wearing the Goal Post Number last week.

Did you notice me change ends?
