Geordie also flew back last night on the red eye, keen to play at Casey.

He pulled up sore last week.

Cue MFCSS...

Back related?

I believe it was reported elsewhere that he was feeling sore after his first game last week and the club decided not to risk him.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens at Casey today because with all of our big blokes in the Melbourne team and no Jesse Hogan in today's team, they're going to be undermanned. I can just see KC complaining about the team going sideways all day. It will be interesting to see their score.

Max told me last week that he was also coming home via the red eye to coach his Ormond Under 16's in the grand final today.

Good luck and let's hope the success rubs off on the club next year.

Is Hogan just sore from his first hit out for the year, or has his back pulled up sore? Or is it both?

Casey won the toss (yay!) - kicking with the slight-moderate breeze.

Toump, JKH, Riley, Barry all in the midfield / centreline. Surely we can win the clearances???!!

How long has Casey radio existed? I feel I've been missing out all year.

One point apiece halfway through the first quarter which tells a lot about the standard of this game.

From what I am hearing our kicking skills are still woeful but a lot of turn-overs are coming from the Casey players rather than the Demons.

Blease has done a couple of nice things, King seems to be the main target (although not clunking any), Tappy just hit the post.

I've heard Toumpas and Terlich quite a bit so far.

Kenedy-Harris hobbling off (ankle) in the hands of trainers and Tappy (concussion? back?) in the hands of trainers as well. Update when I hear.

JKH went down with an ankle. Didn't look like he twisted it but had to be helped from the ground. Maybe a clip from opponents boot to the front of the ankle.

JKH & Tappy both injured and the score is Casey 1.2.8 to Coburg 0.2.2.

Goal to Best.

Best crummed first goal from a Barry inside 50. Having trouble with our last kick inside 50.

Coburg replies and scores level.

JKH now running the boundary line for a test. Looks proppy but much better than it might have been.

Just like in the seniors.

Scorps in a bit of disarray and gives up the lead to a Coburg goal.

Quarter Time: Coburg 3.2.20 leads Casey 1.2.8.

Tappy's out for the day with his back.

Welsh - we need to be cleaner, we need to go the easy option than the hard option, we need to be harder, Improvement: composure, work hard to keep possession, keep it inside 50 with our pressure, give our forwards more of a chance.

Riley 10 disp 3 tackles

Terlich 8 & 1

Clisby 6 & 2

JKH 6 & 1

McKenzie 6 & 1

Toumpas 6 & 1

Blease 4

JKH back on the ground but Tappy gone for the game (and probably the season and more).
