[13thFlagIsComing 542]

Werribee have just outclassed Casey everywhere. Hulks been pushed out up the ground well and the delivery has been average going forward.

Delivery has been average and Tigers have had numbers back.

[waynewussell 6,880]

only 23rd man on bench. Go Scorps!

[waynewussell 6,880]

Rodan and Couch = hamstrings, Sellar = concussion, Davis = ribs or kidney

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Hogan kicks his third after a Werribee turnover.

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Luke Tynan returns the favour and turns the ball over for a Werribee goal.

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Addam Maric kicks his fourth. Scorps struggling with only one on the bench.

[13thFlagIsComing 542]

Barry has had a better second half. Lot more defensive work as well as in and under. Impressed.

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Goal to Luke Hill - his second & its a 40 point margin.

[deanox 10,045]

So we are getting smashed and Hogan still has 3?

[13thFlagIsComing 542]

15.8.98 to 8.9.57 13 mins in

[Pata 16]

#27 playing on Hogan having a good game. Would be a good replacement for the current Red & Blue 27.

Apparently having an ordinary game. No biggie.

doubt Viney will be in the team to play Brisbane this week

[stuie 7,374]

Is Viney playing? Any info?

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Maric gets his 5th.

[Pata 16]

Viney cracking in hard. Looks stuffed with no rotations in the last qtr. will be playing afl next week.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,283]

doubt Viney will be in the team to play Brisbane this week

If Viney gets through 4 quarters I would be very surprised if he didn't play Brisbane next week regardless of performance.

He's playing but not at his best.

The Werribee lead now out to 50 points.

[drdrake 3,203]

Just left it was bad not one player put their hand up, Barry would be the best demon and would have been an outstanding game for him if he didn't butcher the ball

Not easy conditions in Darwin. Trip + heat + lacking match fitness = probably suited for the sub.

[KC from Casey 7,130]

Thankfully, the game's over.

Just got back from the game. Unfortunately must have caught them on an off day because it was like watching Melbourne earlier in the season. Poor skills, poor decision making, poor work rate.

Of the Melbourne listed players:

Hogan - was isolated after Sellar and Davis were injured early. Seems to have a decent engine as he had to roam far and wide to get possessions. 3 goals was a good return for not his or the teams best game.

Strauss - need not bother packing his sun screen or tropical kit. Terrible decision making - would like to have seen his kicking efficiency - doubt whether it was over 20 per cent - just coughed it up time and time again - no presence for a supposed a-lister.

Rodan - looked lively until injured - should probably have played down south yesterday.

Davis - looked as though he was forging a good relationship with Hogan - presented well early then rib injury - I was standing near the interchange and he couldnt breath without pain.

Gillies - spud

Couch - quiet then injured

Tynan - still light framed - not sure if he will get a chance this year

Magner - in the game all day but suffered from the team disease of poor disposal when it counted.

Pederson - had to take over the ruck - took some good grabs but see Magner

Barry - quiet early but after quarter time lifted his intensity and work rate - is quick and could be a good kick

Sellar - head clash put him out of the game early - hard to assess

Joel Mac - spud - bad disposal bad decisions gave away stupid free kicks

Viney - fairly quiet - in and under - doesnt get much clear possession - always seems to be under pressure - will improve with a run

Tapscott - again, quiet and struggling to impose himself on the game - not likely to get a call up on that showing

Werribee's physical pressure told on a lot of the Casey players - this seemed to affect the decision making - became handball happy and, like the seniors, guys started to shirk the responsibility and handball to someone else without considering the position of the receiver who was more often than not in a worse position. That is what I mean by shirking responsibility, not physically shirking - it was a pretty physical game and all Casey players went in hard. The mental side of the game wasnt there today.
