Great long centre clearance kick by Trac and ends in a Hulett 4th goal. Beautiful. Trac decided it was time to impose himself in the centre.

So now... Trengove is having a big impact on the contest from stoppages and Petracca looks dangerous. Finally starting to impose themselves.

And proof you shouldn't make wild judgments after seeing just a quarter of footy.

I'm assuming these are the same guys who thought that Mitch and Max King were the same person, except with a name change?

I'll get shot down for a few of these comments, but here goes.

This has been like watching Melbourne in 2014. On the occasional moment you can actually see the play from this ground, it's just utterly frustrating because the performance has been ordinary. Got here at the twenty mark of the first and have seen two Casey goals. One from an impressive Weideman mark.

Grimes is still just as bad at this level and Trenners looks as slow to me as he did before he went down. Can't see Trenners or Petracca getting in next week on this performance, but still a half to go.

Still reckon Trenners' best position at AFL level is half back. Doesn't have the speed for the wing. Not in our current team anyway.

"Grimes is still just as bad at this level and Trenners looks as slow as he did before he went down."

And " Can't see Trenners or Petracca getting in next week on this performance"

Oh really, OK Petracca's comeback might need to be stalled a bit more till he hits form!!

Given the way this farce has now played out in putting him in the emergencies, will comeback and bite the selectors on the Bum!

If he hasn't got form then lets ar, eh, wait another 3-4 weeks till he's ready!! 

What utter TOSH!

That's enough for me, Grimes and Trengove both Surplus to needs unless many get injured! 

Onwards and Upwards!

So apart for a five minute burst at the start of the quarter we've barely touched it. I stand by my original post.

Whats grimes been doing wrong. Is it poor disposal? Thanks for the coverage

Well, really not much to like about that qtr for Scorps. Willy picked up the pressure from late in the first qtr and haven't let off since. They apply very strong pressure ALL the time. Their marking is strong, kicks accurate and decisive and set shots at goal mostly dead centre through the middle from most angles.  We have so much trouble clearing it out of our backline that the second or third in a chain of attempted clearance possessions often was a turnover.

The lead is 32 points at 3/4 time. The hard nosed Seagulls in control.

Trengove, in virtually his 2nd game in 2 years has 25 possessions until 3/4 time.

FANTASTIC!!!!!

Seeing as though you're crtitical of AF's analysis, why don't you tell us how those 25 possessions would stand up at AFL level?

As stated - seeing it's his 2nd game in 2 years one would expect that part of his game would improve considerably with game time.  As the youngest ever appointed AFL captain I think he has proven his credentials at the highest level. We will see him in the seniors by June.

Not if hes lost his pace and is too slow we won't!!

Sam Weideman takes a nice mark and slots it through for his second but the game is well and truly over. Margin is 44 points.

All of this talk about Trengove's supposed lack of pace is a load of hogwash. He was slow two years ago when hobbled by his foot injury but he has definitely picked up in the area even though you still wouldn't call him quick. However, he's aerobically very strong and that is where he can press home his advantage.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
