Thanks for the updates WJ, much appreciated and looking forward to reports during day. Maybe today's games should have there own title, I'm sure the interest is there.

Jake Lovett showing anything?

How's Weideman moving for anyone who is there? very interested to hear how he goes! last year when he played against the Northern Blues VFL side he had 14 marks in the first half or something, a lot of them contested

I'm only going by the twitter feed but he's already had 2 shots on goal but missed them both.  He has gotten both shots from marks on the lead though so that's a good sign early.

Casey lead by 15 points. Two goals to Angus Scott.

The first goals was kicked by another Angus?

[Die Hard Demon 1,213]

yeah Weeds is moving well. Presenting really well & taken 2 strong marks out in front on the lead. Should have 2 on the board. Lumumba has racked em up & setting up some nice plays forward. Brayshaw in everything. Stretch & Neal bullpen playing well. O Mac has been impressive too. Will keep you guys posted at half time.

Thanks DHD, did we have the breeze that quarter ?

Pre-Game Warm Up:

Gus - No strapping on knee. Looked relaxed

Stretch - Focussed & fit 

ANB - Right knee strapped. Probably just the norm for bloke with those earlier knee cap issues. 

Dunn - "is it home time yet?"

Weid - A very deliberate & steady approach to goal. Very rhythmic & pure. Technique will hold him in good stead.

Hulett - As we all probably know by now - Kid's & brick. Also a pretty sound & fluent technique for goal. Good penetration on the leg.

Game time- 1stQ

First bounce, first touch, bork & centre clearance from Gus into F50.

First score - Stretch looking damaging heading into F50 with the delivery to the Weid. 35out, 45degree angle - Poster.

First goal of the game - who else? Gus. Out of a stoppage from deep in our F50, gather from the tap, another Bork then a left snap thru the sticks. Off to the bench sir 

5mins later - Gus back on.

H with the pick up & gather from a pack just outside D50, feeds Gus with the hands who strides thru the middle. Quick long waited handball to a casey bloke who delivers chest high to the leading Weid. Great passage, great separation & lead from Weid. Know's where to run as a forward. 40m out, directly in front - Behind. Just. 

Weid with 0.2. Looks the good tho.

Siren sounds. That's Quarter time.

3.3.21 - Casey
1.0.6 - Port

If Gus can Bork and baulk as well, how good is he going to be ?????

[Whispering_Jack 29,042]

Port with the first major of Q2.

As long as he doesn't Björk as well.  We are trying to forget that culture of recent times.

Goal for goal with Scott kicking his third. Port answer to go up by a point.

2nd Q:

Oscar with a couple of nice early touches in defence. Then a mark in a 2v2 situation 60out from our attacking 50. Looking composed & comfortable - for now.

H amongst it half way thru this second term. Finding himself deep & amongst packs... Handling himself OK. Tad rusty but that's a bit expected coming off those ankles. 

Mitch White with the ball unmarked with an eternity of time & grass to pick & choose where to go next.

.....
.....

Eventually to be caught holding the ball. Should never have happened. Not a good look.

Gus again with another signature clearance just outside our attacking 50. & when I mean signature I mean this natural gather, 'Baulk' (Cheers Pineapple Dee)  & step (this time to the right) on the boot to a leaping Weideman!!! Ump reckons in the back - BS!. Great passage.

Dunn doing his thing down back. Looks fine. Can just tell he's looking ahead to this time next week.

Heavy gale towards Port's end has them controlling the second part of the term.

They sneak ahead.

Halftime
