Port Melbourne v Casey

[BAMF 3,920]

I won't tell you who's bog either.

Not the dark lord himself? Good grief.

[BAMF 3,920]

Not much to write home about based on the first half.

Fitzpatrick and Dawes are solid marks up front, Sellar and Davis good down back, but the latter is a shockingly poor kick. Clisby okay running off half back.

Blease is too quick for VFL players but has no right side, and Davey is too good for this level.

Big concern is Toumpas. Has no intensity whatsoever. Big bum and short stocky legs, and certainly doesn't have much pace from what I've seen today.

What? But others in this thread have said that his kicking is a lot better?

[KC from Casey 6,776]

14 shots to 7 against Port, KC? Are they missing sitters or is it the wind?

They're blazing away a bit but have Port's measure although the Borough seem a bit undermanned. Shane Valenti usually kills Casey but he's not out there today.

[KC from Casey 6,776]

Can't agree with the above assessment of Jimmy Toumpas. Along with Magner, who's probably BOG here, Toumpas is dominating.

There's also a bloke over at Port Adelaide called Hartlett who probably fitted the above description of Jimmy T but is now considered to be moving towards elite midfielder status.

Thanks KC, I trust your judgment.

I think most are just scared after the Morton and Gysberts fall out. At least give him a year before you begin to jump ships - much less than many gave Morton or Watts.

[Whispering_Jack 28,122]

Crazy day here with ABC going temporarily off the air and two undefeated AFL teams struggling. Could be a good omen for the Dees tomorrow.

... oops, Bombers coming back just as those peptides start sinking in (I know, I'm scurrilous).

[Demon_Tingles 211]

God will you give the kid a break for god sakes it's his second (or third) VFL game and he has fifteen touches to half time. He's not a 100 game player being demoted and not getting a kick. Some people just need to relax.

[whatwhat say what 20,414]

Hartlett has never been as timid as Toumpas. It was injuries that held him back, not intensity.

In saying that some great defensive work from Toumpas just now on the half back flank, resulting in a forward movement that saw a goal kicked by Bonaddio.

[KC from Casey 6,776]

Casey now lead by just 10 points as Port mount a counterattack early in the third.

[whatwhat say what 20,414]

Dawes with a nice goal after putting his head over the ball and earning the free after copping a hard whack.

[Young Dee 1,303]

Why would you want GWS to win? It would only make us look more pathetic. If there are two teams that we should hate most it is GWS and GC for they weakened the drafts when we have been near the bottom and they are the teams that will destroy any chances of us winning a flag in 10 years.

Do you think he's done enough to earn a recall for Gold Coast at the G next week?

Add that to the fact that Coburg are wearing Essendon jumpers and Essendon are wearing their own clash jumper...

Leading Possessions Magner 19 Toumpas Davis Sellar 15

Sellar! We're getting to have half a dozen of these guys. Too good (or just very good) at VFL level, but not able to bring it to the big league.

Good to see Toumpas getting his mojo working. Great for his confidence.

Magner shoe-in for the Liston, even if he gets promoted mid-year. Another 3-vote game?

[whatwhat say what 20,414]

Back to 10 the diff as Blease gives away a 50 for running through the mark.

[KC from Casey 6,776]

A Blease clanger gives away a 50 and Port get the margin back down to 10 points playing some pressure football.

[whatwhat say what 20,414]

Fitzpatrick another strong mark and goal. 57-41 half way through the third.

Magner is dominating, and if Matthews was 5-10cm taller he'd be a permanent fixture for any AFL side.

Retract your comments about Blease because you sound like a fool. He is a freak on both sides of his body. His left is as good as his right.

[KC from Casey 6,776]

Casey get it back through Jack - 16 points difference again.

[DemonDave 1,078]

dawes and fitz the dominant Big men on the ground some great contested marks

[whatwhat say what 20,414]

Why is running around to try to get on his left all the time then?

He just laid a brilliant run down tackle.

D Rod with a goal, 63-41 now.

Fitzpatrick has a real presence as a forward.

[whatwhat say what 20,414]

Blease laying some great tackles, really pleasing to see.

[Return to Glory 7,858]

Blease laying some great tackles, really pleasing to see.

It is good to see because this time last week he looked exhausted.

[KC from Casey 6,776]

Scorps by 23 points. They seem to have settled a bit and are weathering the storm. It helps to have some big blokes who can take contested grabs like Dawes and Fitzpatrick.

I don't know but he's a natural right footer.

Has the tide just turned Jack?
