McNamara, Watts and Spencer reads well - interested in views regarding Martin's performance - 7 marks and 3 goals sounds good but he was not amongst the best.

Wiser souls than me - does anyone demand a game from this performance?

If you think Sylvia and Rivers go straight in who goes out?

 

The report is a glowing example of why the Club is going forward.

Strauss - praise of his endeavour and willingness to learn

McNamara - still only very young but developing nicely

Cheney - knocking very loudly on the door and keeping a quality player under control

Spencer - the AFL games are helping him and he is improving every game, he is still very young

Watts - praise and then a bit of a belt, make him try harder

Maric - same as Watts

Gysberts - will only improve

Healey - the great unknown who everybody wants to delist, getting a go and quelling an AFL experienced player, give him time, you will notice the versatility being developed also

Miller - much maligned but did not sulk like Robbo did when he got sent back, leadership, that is why he is still here

Martin - same as Spencer, except his youth is in years playing the game

PJ - an honest appraisal, but he will gat better

Have really appreciated these reports from the VFL coach over the last few seasons, and glad to see that Brad Gotch is continuing the good work. Agree that our depth is improving, and with it the implied pressure on the senior team to 'continue to perform or I will most likely find myself back at Casey'. And of course, this pressure will only increase as players returning from injury demand a senior spot. As you suggest poseidon, it's already difficult for most of us to decide who might make way for the return of a couple of well credentialled senior players. So much so that I'm not convinced that Rivers should be an automatic selection against Richmond, assuming, of course, that he is fit.

 

Someone forgot to run the spell check..

Lots of Hanballs...but no handballs

Watts looked like a good footballer on Sat night but didn't dominate the game. I thought he was well held at times by his opponents, especially in the air. I saw him well checked a couple of times when attempting to lead which is no mean feat cos he is very quick and good at dummy leading one way to break off into the real lead

He was screaming for the ball when he did find space and it wasn't honored alot, he seems to be playing a style that doesn't suit or isn't expected by the players around him. Calling for the ball further down the field that where and to whom the resultant kick goes to or leading to a side of the ground the ball doesn't end up going to

The best passage of play I saw for the night came when he took/received the ball from near the half back line ran and drilled a pass into the forward line, though that being said I missed bits and pieces of the game due to one of my youngsters "playfulness" and it was hard to see from where we were at one goal end to the other

Sometimes with really smart footballers they struggle a bit in the lower levels as they dont get the service of the pill delivered to them than more adept and smarter players in senior level will deliver.

Watts is no doubt in my opinion only playing to get some games under his belt, and while i know D-Bay has stated a few times that players have to earn their spot, i reckon watts will come in soon and we will see some of his footballing smarts come to the fore.

I think, even if he does come in soon, he will have earned his spot.

They simply won't give him a game until he is ready and i think the two will go hand-in-hand.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
