I was at the game today and after reading through thie thread thought I would make some comments. Box Hill had some serious tall boys up forward, but they won it through some outstanding midfield run

I don't want to be mean to the Casey listed players but there are obvious issues there. I have seen quite a few of their games this year. They are young and small. They have lost too much experience o

Michie had 30 touches and tackled hard all day. Not overly damaging with the ball but certainly wasnt a bad game

Great strong contested mark by Gawn again.

I'm a bit disappointed Michie doesn't stand out a bit more.

Haven't seen a lot out of him.

Bit hard when on the HFF for the second qtr. Delivery in has been abysmal. Agree with an earlier post they dont play as a team. Back line run it well but with no sense of purpose.

Can I stream this?

It's on abc

No wonder the afl umpires have no idea, the development umpires have shown today that there is no pressure on any of them, these guys are awful

It is hard, and Michie has since shown up a bit since being more in the middle.

In fact, him finding more of the foot coincided with our burst of goals.

I find our run is stifled a bit by some of the less-experienced or game savvy Casey players.

Just before the end of the quarter Barry was running up the wing, and would have completed so great link play from HBF to HFF but the Casey player (19?) didn't come forward or move, and instead stood flat footed waiting for the looping handball from Barry.

Barry should have been able to keep running and receive the ball back in a 1-2 play, but the Casey player waited for the ball to come to him, letting himself get covered, and didnt move once receiving it, instead trying to return the ball from a stationary position, and getting it smothered, making Barry track back and eventually the loose ball was recovered by the Hawks.

If the Casey player had been moving it makes it a shorter quicker handball, draws the defender, but also gives him space to threaten to wheel around himself so the defender has to commit, providing space for Barry to run the line along the wing, and then receive the ball back and move the ball into the F50.

Simple movement, but it didn't happen, and the play broke down.

Depends on your perspective.

I have never watched Casey because I want them to win.

I don't care about the result.

I only want to see how the MFC-listed players are developing and what they can maybe contribute to the AFL side.

There's still another half of opportunities to see them and what they can do.

That's all I'd ever be watching Casey for.

I am not worrying about the win either, but it is horrible football and I don't like watching horrible football.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
