Reckon if 3 players absolutely smash the door down then they'll be in the team next week. If nothing else we need fresh legs next week, today was inexcusable.

Anybody going today???

7 minutes in. 2.2 to 0 caseys way. Goals to ANB and Garlo but kicking with the wind. 

Handball error by Trengove gives Essendon one against play.

Think we'll find Brayshaw will play at least a couple of games in the two's.

Agree on the other 4, but it's our defence that needs strengthening. Grimes and Garland anyone?

can't say grimes and garland really excite me

the backline were abysmal, but to me the error was the defensive game plan. playing consistently 20m away from your opposite number in some strange version of zone defense and at the same time positioning yourselves so far up the ground was suicide, made worse by the failure to change tactics especially in the 2nd qtr when it became obvious that this structure was failing and being exploited. The backline started to resemble witches hats but still they refused to man up and cover.

Casey game being broadcast anywhere?

Goal to Hullett 3.3 to 1.0. Brayshaw concussed by the ball hitting him in the face from an ANB kick.

ANB really wants to make the seniors

ANB should come in next week regardless. Kid has been killing it for Casey but can't get a game. 

Also pleeeeaaaase can we drop Lumumba and bring in an actual defender? Garland, Grimes, it's time to shine!

Your kidding...Grimes, Garland- defenders....your judgement has not changed in 5 years...they are pathetic defenders,worse than H.

 

play both Grimes and Garland on the wings.Give Frost a chance at playing FB or CHB.

Change of mind

Garland dominating. 

Goal to King after a 50 metre penalty 4.7 to 1.0. Have blazed with the wind too much have not used it well. ANB, Oliver and garland have stood out.

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

 

Broadcast on Essendon VFL Radio

Brayshaw was taken to the rooms... still not sure if he will come back on. Oliver doing quite well. ANB, Michie and Garland getting regular possessions. Windy Hill is windy and wet.

Casey Scorpions ‏@CaseyScorpions 1m1 minute ago

QT Stats Disposals - Michie 11, White 10, Munro, Trengove, Oliver 8. Goals - Garland, Hulett, King, Neal-Bullen 1. @melbournefc

Smith OOB on full from 25m. Oscar and Terlich getting mentioned

I suspect Brayshaw is done for the day, 4.8 to 2.0 Casey's way early in the second. 

Nb. Hullett has the look of seriously good forward. Reminds me of Hamill/Darling. 

Does Hulett pinch hit in the ruck?

32 v 13 16 minutes into second Q

No. To be clear not ready for seniors but has some good attributes, one to Essendon, 4.8 to 3.1 19 minutes into the second. 

Brayshaw now out of rooms but still can't walk without support. 

12 scoring shots to 4.

must've been a heavy hit!

 

having a big case of the second year blues.

It isn't called Windy Hill for nothing.

They need to put him on ice. He's already had a concussion a few weeks ago and not looked the same since. Time to give him a week or two off to get right.
