That's a bit of a fall from grace for Dom Barry if he finds himself in the Casey twos!

That's a bit of a fall from grace for Dom Barry if he finds himself in the Casey twos!

Even if he doesn't play in the two's big kick in the guts to name him there. Only 2 weeks ago , he was playing AFL. Just had his contract extended as well

Must have done/ be doing something wrong

Must be a lot of fun picking the Casey team...and then rewriting it to include the seven on the bench for the Melbourne team of which at least four won't play for Casey.

Big fall.

Hoping that now they've got him to play the kind of defensive game we need they're sending him back to get confidence taking the game on in attack - because that has definitely been missing this year.

I can only go on the Statistics posted on here ( always dangerous) but he appears to not get enough of the ball.

We should ignore the listing of the players in the two Casey teams until after finalisation of the Melbourne senior team. The four players named on the Melbourne bench will be removed from Casey's team as, perhaps, will be the designated carry over emergency. I'd expect Barry to then be "promoted" to the Casey seniors. It's not Casey's fault, but the published teams offer no insights or reliable information.

Early in the main game and both teams have kicked two straight goals.

Dom Barry is in the team.

Christian Salem has opened the game brightly and goals to give Casey a 5 point lead.

Nicho to Harmes to Clisby to Max at full forward and a set shot goal. All nice passes by foot. 4,1.25 to 2.2.14.

The Northern Blues have been working hard but despite a period of dominance have only managed to whittle the lead down to 2 points.

Quarter Time: Casey 4.2.26 to 3.6.24

Goals Gawn 2 Fitzpatrick Salem

Fitzy....forgotten man?

Good to see Maxxy in the goals again. May have turned the corner.

Good to see Maxxy in the goals again. May have turned the corner.

If he can improve his tank and become a genuine threat up forward then we have a very good player on our hands. Great to see him playing well early.

Fitzy goals and Casey out to a handy 15 point lead.

hope Maxy kicks a bag

Page goals to make it 20 points.

It's been all Casey for most of the quarter and they have gone into the sheds at half time with a handy lead - 10.4.64 to 3.9.27.

So is barry playing he has to start at least getting more then 8 poss a game.
