Kicking against a strong breeze its tough going for Casey with the Dogs having all the momentum and lead by one goal.

Grimes running through the middle so far today.

Redpath goals to take the bullies lead to 2 goals. Jordan Kelly getting plenty of it for the Dogs. Wind is 3-4 goal wind.

3.2.20 to 0.3.3 - Not going well so far by the sounds of it. Love someone at the ground to tell me but it sounds as if Spencer and Gawn have the upper hand of Minson. Hearing Toumpas a lot - Stretch was amongst it early. But the dogs seem to have the ball a lot.

Quarter Time: 19 point margin to the Bulldogs and considering how bad we've played we are lucky to be in the game. 3.4.22 to 0.3.3

From the radio I cant really say who has been the best because those who have had it have had terrible disposal.

From the commentators: 50/50 ruck duel, Free kicks the way of the Dogs

Plapp: not hard enough at the moment. Stoppages +6. Lower our eyes and look for the hit ups. Grimes / Terlich will play loose defender this quarter. Dont go to ground. Being strong in the contest and hold your feet. 2 hands on the ball. I'd prefer you to give a free kick away then let them mark the footy. Get a little c*&t about you (on live radio). Move quick but not reckless.

Much better start for the quarter. Terlcih run and carry, long kick to Pedo mark inside 50 and goals.

Some disposal issues are holding Toump back at the moment. Getting plenty of it but it needs to be better with the ball use. McKenzie and Bail getting more of it.

Bail ignores a Gawn lead and takes the goal himself.

3.4 to 2.3

Follows with another centre clearance into the forward 50. After some argy bargy in the forward line Kelly (Dogs) hacks it out to a marking Toump. 50m out and it fades left for 3.4 to 2.4.

Much better so far by the Scorps.

Kick out gets knocked out of bounds. 30m from the Casey goal. Pedo snaps for his second and it is now even.

Pedo, Grimes and Toump are putting their hands up. Gawn and Spence are also doing well. An issue that these 2 are having is that by sharing the role (which they are doing wel) they are counteing each others effectivness.

Bullies get one back - 4.4 to 3.4

McKenzie and Toump spending plenty of time in the middle. Havent heard much from Jones (but is that the commentators?). Toump clears from the 50 - to McKenzie and another inside 50 but a bad one (by a Casey mid - not McKenzie). Better defence by us this quarter. And apparently Gawn has lost his beard!!!

If it is Toumpas that they keep calling Toumpas he is being recalled this week. Sounds like 15-20 touches so far.

Brett Goodes now has 7 free kicks. 7! To Redpath and he goals. 5.4 to 3.4 - we are doing well out of the back 50 lead by Toump but we are doing going well inside 50.

8! It is now 8!

Goodes is killing us. Kelly is doing well and we really dont have an answer for Redpath as the mids arent putting enough pressue on the kicks coming in.

21 frees to 7. Sound familiar?

22 to 8 now

Stretch kicks a behind.

What do you think Wayne - do we have any chance? They just seem too quick.

Stretch kicks another behind.

25 -7 free kicks and we are really giving them away. I guess we followed Plapp's instructions

3.8.26 to 6.4. 40. We have the wind this quarter and it is not going well.

Bail contested mark from the kick-in but the quarter ends.

Best for me so far are the usual suspects - Toump, Pedo, Spence, Gawn. Stretch is tagging Goodes now and hopefully quell his impact in the second half.

Pedo has 2, Bail has 1

Toump 15; Spence 12; Grimes 11; Harmes 10; Riley 9

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
