Watching the Casey v Bendigo game a few weeks ago it was evident that at every stoppage he got his hands to the ball. Yes he has fitness and application deficiencies but he can get the ball in tight. If he improves his weaknesses he will be a good player.

Good base to work from. At least he can find his own footy. Most of our team can't.

    We have many players who can win the ball. We win our fair share of to footy during games.

    It's our inability to maintain possession of the ball that kills us. We simply don't have enough players with the required skill to hit targets or make correct decisions.

    Anything like his game today?

    I think we saw some of his undoubted football intelligence, with a quick direction of his teammates and smart decision making near the boundary with Howe & Trengove, leading to a good team goal.

    Also made a few nice quick give offs, as he was smart enough to make sure he knew where his teammates were and turn his body before absorbing contact, allowing him to find just the right angle.

    Insanely positive write-up. I thought he was slow, lacking match practice, and didn't really have an impact on the game.

    Same. Thought he struggled. Just doesn't seem fit enough ... or quick enough.

    First game for the year, he is obviously unfit and will be better for the run. Give him a few more games before you write him off.

    Be good for Gys to get a solid taste of top level footy so he knows what he has to do in the preseason to compete at this level.

    Sounds and seems under done.

    Back to Casey if a couple of others are fit.

    I thought he did some really clever things.

    It was only a handful of moments, but for a kid who hasn't played at this level for a while, I liked a few things I saw.

    Was always going to struggle running out the game, and his impact on the game is maybe a bit subtle for some to identify.

    At the match with a full view of the field, looking at the how the teams' structures had shifted, him managing to make the tight handball hit its target a couple of times was crucial.

    A turnover would have led to an easy goal.

    He also identified what was happening, and directed JT and beckoned for Howe to get ready to come on before receiving the ball, then giving it off perfectly.

    Only one moment in isolation, but it showed pure footy IQ.

    Didnt perform anywhere near up to the required level today.

    Stick thin! Been in the system a few years now.

    Certainly no excuses for Jordy, he is a paid footballer and obviously doesn't prepare like he really should.

    Morton and Gysberts have to go.

    For the life of me, i can't understand why these blokes are still built like rakes - with all the facilities and professionals they have at hand.

    There is simply no excuse at all, none.

    He has the talent.

    Just needs to build the engine,

    and the drive to fulfil his potential.

    I will clarify, when I say, have to go - I mean dropped, not delisted.

    Obviously Jordy gets another year whilst Cale probably will get the chop anyway.

    The fact that this even needs to be asked (and I agree it does) does him no favours.

    His pre-season sounded average, reports of him and Blease in the slowest distance run group?...

    He can be salvaged if he decides he wants it.

    Geez some dumb dumb comments here...

    Gys was good today for where he's started from this year. First game for the year and some are bagging him out?!

    Pathetic.

    I've mentioned this before, but a mate is friends with Melksham, and I'm told that when "The Weap" arrived at Essendon, the players were all given strict new diets.

    On the very first day his task for lunch was eat 2 entire bbq chickens.

    It was the of same ilk as diets for blokes like Phelps that you see in the paper around Olympics time.

    Both need to eat a lot more, but I did notice a bit more definition creeping into the upper body of Gysberts today too.

    It's fair to say I'm quite interested in his current status at the club, and watched him closely today.

    So he doesn't have "drive" after an interrupted pre-season and coming back from a broken jaw to play at senior level?!

    Dumb dumb comment.

    Colin sylvia - interupted pre-season, worked back into form, Kudos to Colin.

    Luke Tapscot - Interupted pre-season, worked back into team on form, Kudos to Luke.

    Jordan Gysberts - Interupted pre-season, yet to do so, No kudos for Jordan.

    Professional football.

    Gee after his first game back, didn't pickup 30 touches. Don't think Tappscott got many in his frst game either.

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
