Agree. Spread nowhere near that at Casey Fields.

That was a disappointing quarter from Casey and they will need to lift if they want to win this.

Collingwood leads 7.3.45 to Casey 4.6.30

You at the game BRFE ?

Yes. I'm here. Trac not as much ball that quarter 5 or so touches great third effort led to a massive tackle. ANB very good that quarter just accumulates and creates play. Weeds not helped by the forward delivery but he seriously attacks the ball in the air. Pies just seem to link better than we do and hit kicks forward of 50. 


Trenners is playing in the centre and looks to be running really well. Just did a strong sprint to a contest and kept pace with opponent. 

 

Only saw the first half, but pleasingly Roosy was here for first quarter and a bit and would have seen the early show put on by two players - one Petracca and the other Mason Cox.

If Gawn shines and the Dees win today, then the Cox decision to keep him out will go down as one of the worst in history.

As to Petracca, I'm looking forward to Sunday night against Richmond to watch his debut - both he and Vince are definite inclusions. Surprisingly he played mainly on the ball today - i thought he'd be used more as a forward, but it seems they want to get him fitter quicker.

Billy was 23rd man today so did not play but his buddy Neal-Bullen was very prominent as was Michie and Grimes worked his way into it.

But when you are watching a lower standard you really notice the players with extra skills and for mine it was CP5, closely followed by the power left foot of Mitchell White. One piece of play where he switched to Petracca who hit a target (I think Weeds) and then ran down collected the handpass and then hammered the ball home was AFL level at the highest.

Garland and Terlich and Hutchins were also good down back, but the Pies did well counter attacking - hence we were trailing.

Weeds moved well but had a tough match up with Frost and others to beat.

But mark it down now - Petracca to debut next week.


Mark and goal to Weeds. Got it right that time. 

How do you like them apples, Pies?

Grimes 20 touches and 2 goals....how has his disposal been?

Rutherford is playing, Jaffer-Williams must be the emergency

This would make me a very happy camper as I am travelling over for the Richmond match from Adelaide to introduce my 7 year old lad to OUR home of football 

 

Trac just showed his superior strength and determination. An absolute bull at a contest with repeat tackling efforts.

Mitch White goal in the run after a throw in. 

Then Trac - himself goal from mark and set shot.

Stick it up em boys!

Goal Petracca.


Scorps running away with it

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
