Footscray v Casey Scorpions - Round 2, 2015

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Hutchins marks and goals but with 24 minutes gone and 26 points down, it's too late.

Another one to Hutchins and it's 20 points.

McKenzie free in middle

[DemonDave 1,089]

Anyone know if radio mentioned if Bail is injured? Haven't seen him out here for quite a while and we do seem to be one rotation down on the bench

[CityDee 738]

Same umps as Friday night

I wouldn't worry - the commentators wouldn't be able to identify their own thumb if their life depended on it

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Dogs goal against run of play.

[waynewussell 5,738]

24 points down

[waynewussell 5,738]

stretch marks on siren

[KC from Casey 7,064]

All over. Scorps lose by 24 points - poor kicking and a lack of discipline costly.

[CBDees 3,167]

Sounds like we were umpired out of it!

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Toumpas with another good game, by the sounds of it. How many is that in a row now?

[DemonDave 1,089]

no standouts overall but best for mine were Toumpas, Grimes, Riley for his second half and maybe Terlich. Don't let the goals tally fool you Pederson was terribly quiet today.

[DemonDave 1,089]

The logical ins for next week would be Grimes for Jetta and Toumpas for Kent.

Good numbers for Toumpas, I'd keep him in the VFL for another couple of weeks.

This would be doing a lot for his confidence.

[gOLLy 401]

Just driving back from the game now. .

My stand outs are..

Grimes

Spencer

Matt Jones

Fitzpatrick

Toumpas.

In that order.

Some conjecture that Tyson may miss as well.

[waynewussell 5,738]

So Riley gets 24 touches and had his name called twice...

[waynewussell 5,738]

Grimes will be IN... Toumpas, Riley and Gawn in the mix

[DemonDave 1,089]

So Riley gets 24 touches and had his name called twice...

Barely touched it first half when there was a bit more speed in the game. He was only having 5 minute bursts before going to the bench. Second half he was in and under almost every pack and spent a much bigger % of time on ground. Has good hands in close, but his lack of speed and stamina will have him found out in the next level up

[Moonshadow 17,676]

Should've employed Riley and Grimes to do lockdown roles on those damaging umpires.

[daisycutter 29,613]

anyone have any final free kick counts?

reading this thread it sounded horrendous

[redlegwarrior 23]

What is the standard of our opponent like?

Those pushing for selection have got to be playing excellent footy.

Footscray were fluent and skilled in movement. They'd have about 6-8 blokes who could step into the seniors confidently. Casey worked hard but couldn't string plays together like the opposition.

Riley was great extracting the ball from packs.

Grimes was clean in the contest, he created play and used the ball well through the corridor. I've been a massive knock on him in the past but today he looked good and could step back in.

Terlich was strong in the contest and gave a lot of drive. Put his hand up also.

Toump faded in and out. Has a lot of poise but not sure if you'd line him up on the wing in the seniors and probably a couple in front of him for a back position.

Fitzys fustrating in the sense that with a bit more mongrel he'd be being playing 1's. Won some good contests out of the back line in the last quarter but the game was over.

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,175]

I don't think it's best to bring toump back in against the ultra pressure of Freo. Let him keep plying his trade unless injury means choice is limited. Sounds like Grimes is a given though. You can guarantee he will be hungry and will do everything to stay there.
