Coburg   3.2.20 5.5.35  8.6.54

Which players have caught your eye KC?

No stats on the game ?

BenKen gets his third to give the Demons some breathing space. They've been under pressure all game.

Kennedy with his three goals has looked good, JKH has been a prolific ballwinner and Declan Keilty is going well but it's generally an even team effort in a game that isn't reaching great heights. Casey lead by 23 points at the 12 minute mark as a Coburg player is stretchered off.

How's the Weed going KC?

Coburg won't go away. They get one back but Casey lead by 3 goals.

Mitch Gent ices the game with a goal that takes Casey's lead out to 23 points at the 27 minute mark.

He's been struggling in this game. Started forward but couldn't hold on to his grabs. Playing a bit better further downfield but won't get a promotion on today's efforts. 

Pardon my ignorance, and it may have been explained, why wasn't Salem played? Too good? Rested to be cheery ripe next week?

Thanks again for the updates KC??

Yeah, but race upstairs and blow the siren. The beach (on Naxos) awaits. I need to see the stats, partic. Liam's and Trenners.

Just looking at the ladder, and fixture, it's one screwed up comp. Casey will go above Geelong who have a game in hand, but a bye next week. We have the Pies, who will be two spots below us on the ladder. By round 10 we'll have played 8 games and the Cats 6.

Certainly is.  Not really up to standard as a feeder comp for the big league with all those byes. 

Presumably WAFL and SANFL are better organized?

JKH reported to have had 47 disposals on Casey Twitter

Just back from a very pleasant afternoon at the Courg Oval. For the hipsters they have craft beer and for the traditionalists the Coburg sponsors include the ETU and the CFMEU.

Game from a Demons viewpoint was scrappy with the on ball strength of Casey finally holding sway against the Coburg Lions. Some of the best play was from the Lions while Casey seemed hard pressed to get the last handball into space.

I watched Weideman closely. For the first half he played deep forward and was disappointing. Delivery was nothing spectacular but even when he had a one on one marking comp he never really looked like it. Very little leading on his part and often pushed under the ball.

In the second half he was on the ball where he got a few kicks. More worrying was his missed marks in the midfield. On these occasions and in particular one midway through the last quarter he had position and hands to the ball in a small pack but could not hold on. He's not coming back soon.

Hulett if anything was more impressive with a little more bulk and a seemingly better ability to be in the right place for the ball.

I watched for Stretch in hope of seeing some dashing play but it was not obvious.

I'll post some more observations later but all in all a pleasant day that ended with a win.

JKH did have a lot of disposals. He has good body size that allows him to muscle his way around at VFL level.

Dees tended to overuse the handball which could explain the high possession levels.

Surely a misprint.  That would be a surreal game from him.

Seems that Weed has lost all confidence

Which is why I'd play him in defence.

An enjoyable aspect of the day was watching the play of Gach Nyuon a Sudanese refugee in the ruck.

After being rookied and then dropped by Essendon he made an appearance for Casey today. Unfortunately an injury to his foot late in the second quarter saw him sitting out the second half. An excellent leap and a good tap ruckman. Needs to work on his awareness but there might be something there in the medium term.
