Trengove's kicking was very good.  His fitness surprised me.  If I didn't know his history I'd say he looked fit enough to pay next week.  Clearly he won't, but he's not far away.  I could see him coming in very soon. 

I did see him sprint in the third close to the boundary on the member's side and his speed was fine.  He certainly didn't look "slow".  It was markedly different to when he looked embarrassingly slow a couple of years back.

    A minor thing, but there was no bandage on Petracca's knee, which I liked.  He has been wearing one at training.

    Perfect timing from Trenners and Tracca today, probably prevented half this board jumping off  a bridge after the Essendrug game

    Cant wait to see them in the seniors, as we saw today we still have too many passengers

    So heartened by the description of Trengove's game. I wonder how far off a full VFL match he is?

    Thank goodness for some excellent news on a glum day.

    The nature of his injury,  I feel sure they will slowly build his game workload to watch for any soreness..  Taking time about now is the right play for Trenners,  because of the injury & the long layoff.  His body needs time at this level to readjust.

     

    We aren't going to win a flag in 2016 so all of us have to be patient.   I seem to recall having a word with a young Schwartz a week or two before his comeback from his 1st knee injury.. told him not to rush his comeback.  he did & we all have felt the results.

    Did Trengove get any midfield time or was it all forward?

    Cheers

    All midfield and usually starting in the centre square.

    How was JKH?

    Seems to have vanished off the face of the earth..

  • Quote

    JKH didn't do much to be honest, not from lack of trying.  He moved around very well and did a lot of leading but never seemed to end up with the ball.

    ProDee might have noticed him getting more of it but tbh I thought he was only average.

    I didn't notice him do much, but I was mainly there for Trengove and Petracca.

    Did Viv Michie play today? I know he had a death in the family and was up in central NSW on Friday.

    Thanks HB. Not surprised he did not play.

    Any reports on how our pair of King's went? Notice they were amongst the goal kickers?

     

    Also any chance Weideman may be pressing for an early debut to help out Hogan? He seems to have done nicely the last two weeks.

    Both Kings looked pretty dangerous up forward. It was difficult to judge their impact in the middle, but based on clearances I'd say they were even with the opposition.  

    One thing that annoyed me with all the Casey forwards was their poor positioning when Casey were heading into the breeze in the 2nd and 4th quarters.  They were always playing from behind and as you'd expect the ball kept dropping short. 

    Had they played in front I've no doubt they would have all picked up at least another goal.

    Must have happened a dozen times.

    Cheers, but you sometimes share a link if my memory serves me correctly ?

    I liked Stretch's game in the 2nd half. Ran hard, got involved and used it pretty well  Got caught holding the ball bad once in the last quarter resulting in a free but then tackled the tackler as he played off the mark and won the ball back straight back which from memory resulted in a goal.

    Was impressed with the King that had the higher number. His taps were very effective and kicked an awesome goal in the last from a severe angle against the wind. I was right behind the kick, how he managed to get it through I don't know. He looked skillful

    Is Round 4 vs the Pies too early for a Tracca debut?

     

  • Quote

    Based on yesterday I reckon 1 game too early.

    R3 - Casey Practice Match 75% Game time

    R4 - Casey - Full Match

    R5 - Melbourne debut v Richmond - Anzac Eve

    I reckon Jack Trengove is a chance to return v the Pies

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
