First match back, not a bad effort. Sounds like VandenBerg has put himself in round 1 contention.

 

Vandenburg a lock IMO, he is a big unit.

Oh my God, how the eff does Matt Jones get a game. Every disposal a clanger & all his tackles were sloppy & poor. Turnover merchant to boot.

 

I expected a touch better at the line.. +18.5 at $1.90.

Nevertheless I've dropped a $150 on us for good measure.

I am reasonably confident we get within 3 goals with Fyfe, Sandilands out and a Roos vs Lyon game of defensive tactics.

These coaches won't let the shackles off just because it is NAB cup, they are both men of structures, discipline and defense.

That is what you call, running a very fine line.


Would have won if the usual suspects like Jamar, Bail and Grimes ever learned how to kick better than a 3 year old girl.

Or a 3 year old boy.

Good effort first up, imo we already look much better than last year, great to see the boys taking the game on and a couple of good targets up forward helps.

really impressed by Frost
 

Both Jamar and Garlett had kicks o put us in front and butchered them.

Frustrating.


Yep, Watts hasn't had a touch tonight...

Yeah... didn't even see him going in for the hard ball... frustrating ;)

Edited by ignition.

Vanders, Newton and Frost should play Round 1. Grimes, Bail and M Jones should not.

Salem is coming along nicely and Kent is poised for a big year.

Pederson will need to lift for round 1 with Dawes out.

Howe, Viney, Vince and Watts to be made way for (if fit).

VDB was good as the sub, really hunted the footy and used his height well.

Oh my God, how the eff does Matt Jones get a game. Every disposal a clanger & all his tackles were sloppy & poor. Turnover merchant to boot.

5 frees against for Jones tonight. Not even close to best 22 IMO.

I really don't know. His only attribute is that he has great speed, but he cannot kick, tackle or dispose without a turnover.

Grimes should be named captain again. Captain of the Casey Scorpions.

I like the looked of Frost running from the backline, great get there.

Hertiuis Lalalambamba looks better in our colours than the filth's.

JKH was he even there?

Matt Jones is a absolute machine! A turn Over Machine, and will assist Capt'n Grimes at the Scorps.

Dermie I can handle, but Shaw is a Shawker (see what i did then?)

I have not read any of this thread so this is my own thoughts immediately after game. No injuries is the best outcome. Good fightback and one bad 15 minute patch. Newton, Frost (when back) and Vanders showed enough to me that they are givens for round 1. Grimes, Garland and M Jones are very limited footballers and need to be pushed out of side by mid season if not earlier. Add some polish with Watts, Vince and Howe and teach Toumpas and Salem to find more ball and our movement will be alot better.

Good effort but we need to move on from M.Jones, Bail, McKenzie and should be able to do that now with Newton, Vandenberg and Viney and Vince. Still need to find a ruck that can take a mark and kick a goal - recruiting priority for next year methinks


Not a bad hit out.

Howe to replace Grimes, Viney & Vince to replace Bail and Matt Jones and we're a few percentage points better.

Edited by Seraph

Garlett was pretty good, went into the middle at one stage and showed a bit.

 

5 frees against for Jones tonight. Not even close to best 22 IMO.

He struggled, didn't he....I'm prepared to give him one preseason game.

I think howe will add a lot when he comes back, alot of freo's long bombs in are exactly the reason Howe was put back, big intercept marks and big pack marks
