On the game itself I thought Casey struggled to get going in front of a tiny crowd, I fear for these 7pm starts but it doesn't seem to be getting the crowds in with the dew and the earlier rain not helping the standard of game.  

I dont understand the rationale of scheduling all these Casey games at night either. Not only is the lighting barely adequate for a training session, let alone a VFL game, so poor is the visibility over the other side of the ground. It's also significantly colder in the middle of winter at night than during the day, thus more dew and obviously less spectators. I've been a couple of times but doubt I will this year at night so poor is the viewing and the quality of play.

Whose decision is it to schedule this many of our home games at night, the league because we are one of the few teams to have lights, or is it a Casey initiative to try and be a bit different?

Thanks for the report though Melon22

    Know wing Angus' luck some opposition thug would hit him in the back of his head

    As I noted above, best to wait till we learn more details.  And thankfully a reporter has talked to the club rather make assumptions.  "Angus received a minor concussion following a late hit during the game last night," Mahoney said on Sunday..."He reported signs of improvement this morning. We will monitor him through the week but expect him to be available this week."  http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/angus-brayshaw-not-expected-to-miss-any-games-despite-third-concussion-20170423-gvqkgt.html

    The club will give him all the time and care he needs to get back to his courageous self. 

    Footnote:  hope their is video of that late hit and the offending player gets a few weeks holiday.

    So a knock to the head behind play. When can we expect the details of the report/suspension? Our guys received 2 and 3 weeks for offences that may have (but didn't) lead to guys missing games. This is potentially career ending. I'd expect a lengthy stint on the sidelines if I'd done it.

    Guaranteed the video (if any) will be viewed by the myopic who saw nothing in Sylvia's broken jaw behind the play: same guy who 'saw' Pedo's nose flattened in a late  forearm - no case to answer.

    Could be VERY interesting. If you can slide him into the team as a swingman, then the need for Smith is lessened. Could be the guy who takes on third tall in top heavy sides, and slide forward to lead up and take some grabs. Starting to get excited about him now. I love a late pick KP player who gets 3-4 years without pressure, and blossoms cos of it. Imagine if Watts got that kind of time to figure the game out.

    I have never seen Liam in action but looks a big bodied guy. To those who have followed him, has he / can he / could he ruck?

    Are tackles a targeted KPI for Pedo? 8 is pretty good from the big man . . .

    2 more than Melksham for the whole season!

    Is King anywhere near capable of playing a neuatralising ruck role at senior level in the short term until Spencil gets back Melon??

    Not Yet, needs a good solid block of games before I would consider him.  By the 4th Qtr was just about gone even after limiting his game time, in the second half his ruck work was a little bit off as well as he fatigued and wasn't able to run it out as expected.  By the time he is ready Spencil and Gawn would be closing in on a return I suspect,  i would pick Kielty as the next Ruckman before playing Frosty or Oscar as a first ruck.

    No, to be blunt.   He doesn't have a standing leap capable of rucking and is more of a lead up style KPP, mind you he has lost some of his body weight in the off season so hopefully his agility and leap will have improved.

    Makes sense. Thanks Melon

    Looks almost a reflex action as he was off balance falling 

    So presumably no footage of Angus at all anywhere?

    The Carlton doctors probably put in one of their 'special' medical reports to 'help' the Tribunal give the 'correct' penalty.:blink:

    BTW the guy who hit Gus got 1 week - accidental clash of heads bit a bit late.

    i looked at it (incl slo-mo) about 5 times

    no doubt he collected him with elbow

    impossible to say it wasn't just  accidental and unintentional (unless you were a mind-reader)

    If he marked it diving forwards, landing on his back and managed to get that elbow in on purpose to the bloke behind him that he couldn't see because his eyes were on the ball he should quit footy and become a ninja.

    Is there a link?

    Was it as bad a Jesse's 2 weeker, or Lewis' 3 weeker?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
