Weids is not playing

There's always a carry over player when the VFL plays the day before.

FT Stats 

Disposals - Trengove 29, Gent 26, Kennedy 26, Scott 25, White 24.

Goals - Scott 3, White, Fritsch, Gardiner, Kennedy, Kent.

Good to at least see Trenners, Kennedy and White continue their decent form.

I really rate Dom Tyson but despite our depleted injury stocks he is the only player we have with someone banging down the door for his spot.

I guess if Mitch White has a couple more good games you could say the same about Melksham. Except the i really rate him part.

Kents form is disappointing- ? attitude

Wagner?  How did he go after a longish break.

I was talking about Trenners banging down the door for Tyson.

Not sure how Wagner went but would be interested to hear.

I doubt Tyson will get dropped. Bugg's spot is up for grabs if he doesn't perform.

Disappointing to lose, but it's also a by product of our list at the moment.  They would have no recognised ruckmen and barely any quality tall players to call upon.  Doesn't necessarily make it easy for Casey to tough out a win.

Interested in  how King went.

Geelong were far too big for Casey (for obvious reasons).

Other than that, I have minimal that I can contribute, mainly because I had no idea who most players were.  But, I can contribute this (for the little that it's worth);

- Trengove will struggle to play another senior game.  Love Jack, but just think the game has gone past him.

- Ben Ken got reported I think.  Didn't see it as it was on the other side of the ground, but saw umpire taking numbers.  He played ok apart from that, but not dominant.

- Hulett is a long way off.

- Wagner was very good.  2 more weeks at Casey and he will be ready for a call up.  Big boy.

- Kent's attitude is terrible.  He wasn't great, laid some good tackles, but for a guy that should be in the 1s, he didn't play or act like it.

- Harmes wasn't brilliant. 

- Mitch White's best is very good, just needs to bridge the gap between his best and worst.

- Not sure who number 48 is/was, but thought he showed a bit.

Other than that, I totally admire regular Casey contributors like KC, bloody tough gig being able to report on individual players.

Can you elaborate a bit on Trengove?

He has been in the bests a number of times now and is getting a fair bit of the ball. What is it that's stopping him from returning? 

Just looked, 48 was Maynard.  Think he might sneak a senior spot before the season ends.

Was good to see Goodwin, Rawlings, Ben Matthews, AND Josh Mahoney all in attendance.  Would be nice if Josh didn't treat everyone like a journalist though.

Also, David Rodan is a very technically correct goal umpire.

Hate to say it, but he's a plodder.  Accumulates possession, but isn't very damaging.

I have always been a big JT fan, and would love to see him play seniors again.  Based on today, it would be a sympathy selection more than anything.  Only my view though and that's based on it being the first game of Casey that I have ever seen live, so grain of salt stuff!

Was not sure who he was, so didn't really look for him until the last quarter.  Don't think he was great, but by the time I started to notice him, the Geelong big guys were killing us.

In short, I didn't see an AFL standard ruckman in hm at this stage.  Thought he got pushed around pretty easy in the last quarter, but he could've been knackered too!

Sorry I can't help much more with King.

Did Bradshaw play?

Kent was named our second best player behind Wagner. Did you see it differently or are we really that bad?

Who's Bradshaw?

The Casey Demons left out both Billy Stretch and Sam Weideman. Unless Weideman is carrying a mystery injury, it would be strange for him to be left out two weeks in a row. 

interesting.

Probably just the calf injury he got against the Dockers.  Thought the training report said he didnt train on Friday.

Always hard, the AFL listed players generally always stand above the VFL listed players. That said, I thought Maynard was better than Kent. My issue with Kent today was more about attitude than anything else. Maybe I just have higher expectations of blokes that should be in the 1's.

In answer to your question though, I didn't think we were very good today. We looked slow compared to Geelong. It was actually almost a carbon copy of our seniors. Didn't look quick, overpossessed a lot, but hung in there for the whole game. Just lacking that bit of class, which is probably what I would expect Kent to bring at this level.

If Trengove doesn't get a senior game soon why is he on the list?30+ possessions in every Casey game this year with one exception which was just under. Goodwin says good form is rewarded.

Think Weid has a corky.
