    Trengove would have got most of his disposals by HT.  Looked good.

    Mod's,  can we have the Casey thread pinned at the top, at least while Trenners & Petracca are making a come back?  we can maintain all the updated goss',  & also gamedays.

    I think the front half of season in AFL will be up & down after today,  till we  settle our side with some more experienced talent.  Dunn, Trenners;  & then Petracca,

    Some positive news in this thread at least. I know Trenners, Petracca and even Weideman will come in time, but I am really happy ANB had a good game (by the look of it). He is one of the fittest guys at the club, and I think there is a spot for him in the seniors, as early as next week after today's debacle.

    I arrived about 10 minutes into the first quarter and as I walked in Trengove took a strong mark and kicked a great goal from about 40m.  It was a great sign.

    It took me quite a while to work out who was who so I might have missed some of the good work by the MFC listed players in the 1st quarter by half time I had them pretty much pegged.  Having said that it took me till the last quarter to pick out Jayden Hunt.

    Alex Neal-Bullen was the best demon player over 4 quarters, played in the centre and was constantly in the game, kicked a couple of goals following the ball forward.

    Dunn played well at full back, looked short of a gallop but seemed to get better as the game went on.  Half way through the 3rd quarter he came off for a spell and i heard him say to someone on the interchange that he was fuched but he played a good last term.  I think he'd be right to come in next week.

    Trengove was in everything early, moved very smoothly was clean and made good decisions.  Looked to be doing it pretty easily at this level to be honest.  He was rested for almost all of the 4th quarter.

    Petracca was very good in patches, he was off and on the bench a lot and came off about half way through the 3rd quarter.  He has great hands in traffic, very soft.  I was surprised to see he had 20 touches.  

    Hunt - As I said I didn't realise it was him until the last quarter and he was good.  He used his speed a few time and broke the lines but tends to blaze away and not kick it to the advantage of the forwards.

    Weidemen was good, took some good marks, positioned himself well in the forward line and kicked straight from what I saw.  Still very raw, but isn't afraid to throw himself into the contest.  

    Hulett - another i didn't realise who he was until late.  Will need time but did some nice things leading up to the wings.

    I'll think of more later, any questions just ask.

    Cheers,

    HB

    Based on what you saw, who would be in the frame for elevation next week?

    ANB was Best On Ground and I expect him to come in.  Dunn was solid, didn't do much wrong.  He probably comes in too.  Trengove was probably next best but I think he'll need more game time before coming into the Melbourne side.  I thought Stretch was pretty poor to be honest.

    What did Trengoves kicking and pace look like?

    Kicking was outstanding, can't think of a miss or at least a complete clanger. 

    Pace wise, he had plenty of time and space around him whenever he had the ball.  He looked to be getting around for the most part at about 3/4 pace.  I don't recall him sprinting or needing to sprint at any stage.  He never looked rushed but didn't look quick like Hunt, Stretch and Frost

    I feel like one of Stretch or Grimes have to come in. We just need the run. I'd go Stretch unless he was poor.

    Similarly I think we need to consider how well White, Wagner and Hunt played because we might need of those guys in at half back. 

    We can't keep going with the same guys in those spots.

    Just on Frost he does some absolutely spectacular things, like bursting out of packs and sprinting through the middle but his kicking is terrible.

    I'm not sure what his role is or will be in the future.  Not a forward and he is not a reliable kick for goal and is kicking from Defence would be a liability. Not tall enough to be a decent ruckman.

    Tall wingman?

    I thought White was disappointing, tbh he looked a little overweight and slow. 

    Wagner was good but his first movement and action is to look sideways.  He probably had a dozen kicks at CHB that went sideways.  They hit a target, but didn't advantage the team all that much.

    Grimes was solid but he was far from dominant for someone who should be a level above VFL.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
