Grimes - did an ankle

Bate - what about me?

I've broken the cardinal rule...

 

Watts - Good early. Faded.

Yeah I think he was pretty damn exhausted towards the end of the match, but his ball sense was excellent even late in the last quarter with some good tap ons.

Jamar concerns me greatly. We are running this man into the ground. He could barely walk to the bench in the last. We have to bring Martin back in to give him a bigger rest. If he gets injured we are f'ed!

The commentators mentioned this too. They were wondering what we would have done if he was injured early in the game with no second ruck in the lineup. I think Martin has been pretty decent for us this year and didn't really deserve to be dropped. On the other hand, it's a return to the formula that saw us rack up some good wins last year.

We continue to play with fire though.

One day our luck with Jamar will run out. We are sending him into an early retirement.

Green - showed some leadership

Warnock - beat good opponent

Jones - strong and creative

Bartram - really good game

Watts - earning his place

Gysberts - always right position

Frawley - run out of defence (4 words)

Trengove - great midfielder's game

Sylvia - great second half (flat track bully???)

Dunn - did things well

Petterd - strong marking target

Grimes - hopefully only sore.

Maric - aware and efficient

Garland - inspector gadget lives

Moloney - hard, strong, skillful

Jurrah - more grunt required

Wonaeamirri - dangerous but unfit

Tapscott - strong and able

Davey - right foot kicks

Jamar - was simply outstanding

Bail - should clone him.

Bate - hard at it

GREAT TEAM EFFORT!

Davey - comfortable and composed

Jamar - ran hard everywhere

Watts - needs another pre-season

really liked his first half but faded and just looks like another pre-season is what he needs

Haha had like 26 touches 4 goals 9 tackles

Johncock - had a shocker!

Yeah, I know, but it was once it was all going already. First quarter he was absent, second quarter even he didn't have much of an impact.

Bit of a downhill skiier...

Intensity, tackling, pressure.

Moloney - you [censored]rippa


Petterd: Never Drop him

People last week were saying he doesnt deserve to be in the team... Garbage the kid is in our best 15 and it exactly what we needed... Some players just play better on the big stage.. People will say he wasnt doing that much for Casey but he is a gun forward that would have kicked 50+ goals last year had it not been for the injury.

Green - up and about

Warnock - average at best

Jones - has great attitude

Bartram - strong through middle

Watts - great second quarter

Gysberts - always showing more

Dunn - worked very hard

Grimes - i may cry

Maric - four quarter effort

Garland - was rarely beaten

Moloney - elite stoppage machine

Jurrah - good last half

Wonaeamirri - not his best

Tapscott - strong all day

Davey - finally got space

Jamar - won all day

Bail - my favourite player!

Bate - worst on ground

Green - grab that jumper!

Warnock - very good outing

Jones - industrious as always

Frawley - regaining his form

Trengove - tireless midfield effort

???? He started the avalanche of goals in the third with 2 goals in a minute. Still played well with 26 touches and 4 goals regardless.

I'm really pleased with and proud of Warnock.

No pretentions to being a star, but he came out and delivered the stopper role to a really good standard, and the effect that this had on giving Frawley and other defenders a little more opportunity to run was one of the game-changing factors.

If Frawley gets back to 'maximum form' and can both decisively stop and then rebound off the top opposition forward, Warnock's contribution goes down and the value of Rivers as the zone-off interceptor increases.

Throw in the 'Jamar only' issue still floating around, making the inclusion of Martin as ruck-defender a weekly consideration.

It'll be an interested story over the year, the tall defensive set-up.

Also, sometimes I watch Matthew Bate closely, and I have a theory that he is actually a very good footballer but has the most appalling luck. The ball bounces away from him, or he lays a tackle and it randomly spills to another opponent, or he gets to be the guy receiving a hand-ball at his ankles, all these things seem to happen to him. I know that better positioning, anticipaton and all that would make a difference, but I honestly think the guy needs to work on improving the 'dumb luck' part of hs game. :)


Green - finally waking up

Warnock - provided mature body

Jones - was our heart

Bartram - worked super hard

Watts - learning to fly

Gysberts - the human sponge (ok, better explain, this kid just seems to learn and learn, progressing well)

Frawley - weekly confidence boost

Trengove - growing up quick

Sylvia - lifted when required

Dunn - solid role player

Petterd - set the tone

Grimes - good luck today (with the x-rays)

Maric - took his chance

Garland - deserves more recognition

Moloney - captain's game, hmmm....

Jurrah - skillful but lazy

Wonaeamirri - wakes us up

Tapscott - bull on parade

Davey - responded to criticism

Jamar - worried for him (ripper game as always but surely must be getting worn down)

Bail - poised and fit

Bate - some selfish moments (but can't blame him for trying to make an impact, worked hard)

Bailey - much better upstairs (meaning both his thinking and the fact he was up in the box)

i reckon a few here are way to hard on bate.

He didnt kick many goals, but from what i saw on TV he tried all day, contested well and quite frankly with him and ricky our our foward structure looks alot more complete. Watts, Jurrah, Dunn dont put their bodies on the line lie bate and petterd do.

Incorrect. Wrong. Silly call. Watch the game again call.

Sylvia had more possessions in the first quarter than any other quarter. (8 possessions).

Get your facts right before stating he was absent.

There are quite a few who hold this belief here (downhill skier), but I'll defend it until the cows come home. Bring it ! I'm willing and able.

Win or lose he gives. Look harder next time.

"Wasn't that great" (your 3 word analysis of Sylvia) you say ? :mellow:

He had 6 possesions. The ball is was in our forward line 70% of the game

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
