How long is he out Saty ?  He's having a horrid run with soft tissue injury

Matt Jones drops a sitter, ruling out a certain goal

Scorps switched off at the start. 

Losing 0.0.0 to 2.1.13.

Mitch White holding the ball, Garland out on the full, Big mark From Cloke. Colby goals for the Pies

Casey - 0.1:1

How good is VFL level umpiring?  It makes watching footy a joy.

Scrappy game, Scorps are cramped for space

Casey - 0.1:1

I was just thinking the same thing.

They tend to only call the obvious free kicks, far more consistent.

correction, scores are

Casey - 0.0:0
Collingwood - 2.1:13

Good mark to white,  delivery inside 50 not great. 

excellent play to keep the ball in by Terlich, doesn't come of, holding the ball in the square, 15 mins gone, 1 st quarter

Casey - 0.0:0
Collingwood - 2.1:13

Setting the bar for excellence a bit low.

He kept it in, instead of following it over the line. It was a decision, but nothing excellent about it.

[censored] game to watch to be honest.

Scrappy play by Casey. Poor in the air, a lot of fumbling and poor disposal. Early in the game Matt Jones set the scene dropping a simple chest mark right in front of goal.

They seem to only pay free kicks that impact the play. So a little bit of holding behind the play is ignored, no impact high contact on a shoulder is ignored etc. 

Also no grandstanding with the big long holding the ball calls. Just pay it and move on.

They pay frees for illegal acts that impact the play, but not those that prevent a player from impacting the play.

What a terrible game, 20 mins gone, first term

Casey - 0.0:0
Collingwood - 2.1:13

Why do we play at this dung heap? Seriously!Windswept,inhospitable bog that provides zero preparation for conditions players will experience in AFL. Really glad Weideman is not playing.Throw some money at Richmond and go alone to play home games at the 'bowling green' Punt Rd oval. Far more accessible for most supporters as well as superior viewing. Casey Fields is an embarrassment.

This is worse than either Rugby codes.

I've never seen so many fumbles

The surface used to be as good as any in the country, not sure why it is so bad now.

Goal to Newton, 24 gone, first term

Casey - 1.0:6
Collingwood - 2.1:13

At last a goal ... to Ben Newton.

This surface has never been good in the winter.
