Good to see that there are some boys there. Gawn is a regular at games (good team man). 

Stretch seems to have just exploded since quarter time . Interesting to see that ANB isn't in the big disposal getters at 3 quarter time. We all just assumed he was going to have another big match and get the call up. With Hunt the likely out due to "management" (otherwise known as a quite game), Stretch is a like for like. Haven't heard Matt Jones name in the commentary as yet. 

Oliver seems like he comes back in as well.

    Good point Dee-l. No M Jones here on the ground at all.

    16 mins in and efc have scored 5 behinds this qtr.  It's an arm wrestle in their fwd half but our defence has stood strong.

    Great to see Viv dominating, sometimes I think I am his only fan

    O Mac has looked alright to me

    Michie is a smooth mover. Both he and ANB have demonstrated their quick hands around packs this qtr.

    given the conditions today (awful) it's hard to call the stats very meaningful

    Michie and Strech had 10 possession last quarters. Oliver had 9 and you have to assume that Trenners had at least 8. 

    The one that stands out there is Stretch as the conditions aren't conducive to his style of play, so good work getting his hands on it.

    Assuming Oliver is trying to read the words. It's ok buddy, you wont need them again...

    Hope the players have a good shower when they leave.

    Would hate to see a positive swab come up just from sitting on the chair or touching the lockers in there.

    Ran out of batteries with 10 minutes to go and just got home. Stretch, Michie and Oliver were the stand outs. Saw Garland against Collingwood and he looked disinterested, was on his game today and has given himself a look in. ANB was serviceable but would not say he banged the door down. Trengove is getting to the right spots but is not up to speed yet with his execution. Being he spent most of the game playing inside could not get a feel for how much better his movement was.

    They interviewed Plapp after the match on Casey Radio. He said that he was surprised that Trengove was tagged all day. He said that tagging doesn't happen very often in the VFL. I would think that this makes Trengove's stats look a bit better.

    Thanks BRFE & KC greatly appreciated a good win at Windy Hill, take that any day. Looks like we have 4-6 players that could come into the team if coaches want to reward some effort and rest a couple of the kids or non performers.

  • Quote

    O Mac also very good. Stretch a stand out with quick hands inside and good decision making. Best game I've seen him play. Garland very solid. Michie better than Trengove and Grimes IMO.

    The great thing about his game is that he is playing half back flank yet is stacking up the possessions, must have had 10 inside 50s and 5 score assists as well as one of his own.

    Viv has been our most consistent performer at Casey so far this year and surely must be due a recall. Reward for effort. Problem is I'm not sure that Roos rates him.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.

      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?
