Wind has dropped a bit. Some sloppy play by the scorps towards the end. The Weed takes a great one gander but misses the goal from the boundary.  jake spencer kicks a goal from outside 50. ANB another just after. Scorps in front by11 points

I think it was Hulett who missed that shot. 

Anyway, there has been a bit of niggle in the game with Terlich heavily involved. No surprise he instigated the dust-up on the way to the sheds.

Does Weed actually look like he will be a player? Havent seen a second of him playing so i only have these reports to go by.

Keeping a lid on but yes, watched him against Collingwood, skillset really good, McCartney will turn him into the player everyone wants him to be

Like Jack t game. Very good that second quarter.

scorpions very tall side but our midfielders like Anb, Newton and s couple of likely looking casey boys (sorry no idea of names) started getting more of it q 2.

massive wind and easy to score southern end. We need to hold them as much as possible. Anything under 30 points will be achievable with wind in last quarter.

Brayshaw out for the rest of the game. Not even in the rooms (talking to MFC players watching).  Good the see the team around him

Disappointing news. Hopefully the club look after him & give him a few games off if this is concussion related.

Tough day for the tall marking forward with the wind blowing it all over the place. He moves well, attacks it in the air and disposes well. He will be a player in time. We gotta beauty there.

beautiful pick up and handball lead to a scorps goal q 2. Real skill required and executed to perfection

So he isnt a one trick pony with good hands but not much else? ( rhetorical question really )

Leads to the right spots, second efforts, forward line pressure, tackle, chase etc . He shows signs of doing all the stuff that doesn't get stats? (tackles do ofc)

He holds more interest for me than anyone else at Casey as he is our fallback plan if the Hulk leaves.

His season is turning into the nightmare 2nd season from hell.

Might need a few games off to get freshened up and recover.

Sounds like Brayshaw's copping some crappy luck in his second year, hope he's ok.

Are you pretty sure it's concussion?

Yeah see this is exactly the sort of thing i want to hear about him every week. Gives a person genuine hope.

It is not his ability, as I have said before, all AFL players should have the skillset at varying levels, his skillset is good, which means he has the opportunity to be an AFL player of a very good standard, some players can run all day but have a low level of skills, it does not stop them becoming an AFL player, which as we have discussed means that they are AFL standard, let me know if this is still not that clear....ability is more about being able to produce your best on a consistent level, as in Bill Shorten talks a good game and seems to have the skillset required to be a Prime Minister, but will he be able to maintain it and not drop the country into the cesspit that the last two Labor governments have..........back to the WEED, from training you can see him listening intently to every bit of information that is pushed his way by the coaches, which again is a good sign

The new Melbourne ding, he has to do the above if he wants to be even considered for a game in the AFL

To be honest, if the Weed was able to save a country from recession during a global financial crisis, I'm not sure we even need Hogan!

We don't need Hogan, he is going to stop the boats by standing on the beach at Fremantle with his hand up in a threatening manner

(I was going to use the Canute reference, but thought it might be wasted, history to young people these days, means something you wipe off your browser to make sure Mum doesn't see the websites you're trawling)

 

Besides which the Chinese building boom saved this country in the GFC, a drovers dog could have managed it

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
