ESSENDON VFL v CASEY SCORPIONS

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,339]

4.8 to 4.4 Caseys way at half time. Defended well against the breeze but never looked like scoring. Oliver, Garland and Michie pick of the players but a lot of play on other side of ground and in tight so  hard to get a true gauge.

must've been a heavy hit!

 

having a big case of the second year blues.

ANB kicked the ball flat out into the back of his head when he was probably 2-3 metres away.

Clearly, not only does ANB want to get into the Seniors next week, but he wants to make sure Gus doesn't get there instead of him...!!

Is Brayshaw actually concussed? Off the ground? Done for the day?

 

2nd head knock in a month means he will be resting for at least a week no?

Stretch's numbers surprising but has played the far side most of game so I must be missing a lot. 

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

White could easily come in for Hunt (if he gets promoted).

Hows Trengove and Nibbler going mate?

[picket fence 18,078]

Time to bring White in also impresses me greatly!

Trengove playing in the middle. Getting his hands on it but slow to execute. Not ready in my view and would prefer to see him on a wing. ANB has done some good but a lot of play on other side has meant he has not been that noticeable .

Great mark to Spencil in the square gets the first of the third to Casey.

First time I have heard that this weekend 

[bjDee 1,249]

Just got here after being at work. Rawlins and Goodwin in the stands. Hope they are watching closely. 

Casey radio van is here too but I didn't bring radio. You might be able to listen on that. 97.3 I think.

Yep it's on Casey Radio 97.7

Another two to Casey 7.8 to 4.5 9 minutes into the third. 

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,339]

Great goal to Michie (who has been excellent off hakf back) 8.8 to 4.5

[Dee-licious 1,954]

That BRFE! Loving the commentary from the team at demonland. How is the Spence v Jamar battle going? 

[gOLLy 401]

Really bias radio.

[KC from Casey 7,157]

3QT: Casey lead by 5 goals.

Will the wind get the Bombers up?

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,339]

5 goal lead at 3 qtr time but with the wind really makes it close to an even money bet, spencer has been serviceable for a first game back and appears to have played limited minutes as expected. Will be posting less as batteries running low.

3Qtr Time Stats Disposals - Michie 25, Stretch 24, Oliver 20 Goals - Wilson 2, Garland, Hulett, King, Michie, Neal-Bullen, Newton, Spencer 1

[bjDee 1,249]

Casey 9.11 to Ess 5.5. They have to close the gap by 5 goals in the last qtr. The wind is a huge advantage but I'm guessing it's too big a gap for bummers to close.

Spencil has been rotating on and off the field very regularly with Max King in the ruck. Neither is resting forward. Spencil looks good and mobile but this is a big test off match fitness.

From what little I've seen Spencil is holding his own, but King is out-rucked. I'm not convinced that is his best position.

Gawn and Dunn are here watching.
