How can a team with so many AFL players struggle against an opponent with none?

A lot is how the football is being played. Its a James Magner sort of game. Its wet and I'm going to just tackle you and force it forward.

The free kick count is 15 to 8 their way. They are playing like a team who knows how to play VFL (staying low when they are being tackled - so many head high frees). Our Melbourne listed boys are playing like they have professional umpires and replays available (Frost, Watts, JKH). Watts would have been given maybe 3 or 4 frees so far this quarter in an AFL game for off the ball stuff from Tippett. Just needs to keep his cool or he will be reported. 

Just showed the stats it is 15-8 free kicks it did feel like willy were getting the rub of the green.

Frees 15 to 8 Williamstown way. 

Keilty is playing beautifully.  Reads the ball in the air so well.  Looks a cut above. 

 

Frost has looked good with ball in hand. His superior physical attributes stand out even more are this level. 

Enough time for a dont argue is enough time for prior opportunity. That is a free kick umpire! But then again you could have paid 2 previous frees for encroaching the mark so what do I expect. How was that not deliberate against Tippett for rushing?

And twice we have seen two umpires call different things at the same time. Good luck being a player in these conditions. 

 

Well done JKH. Dees by 12

A goal to JKH on the half time siren after a turnover from the kick info. 

 

Casey goes into half time 2 goals up. 

Umpiring pretty bad today 

Geez Keilty looks good. Marking everything.

Not a good game to watch on tv though. 

2 goal lead is handy .

Willy scum seem to be targeting our AFL boys off the ball a lot, is this normal at VFL level? I don't watch much VFL

My thoughts so far: 

Watts - Strong first quarter, Tippett stopped him in the first half of the second, and when he went up the ground late in the second we looked so much better. Will be playing next week against the Pies. 7 touches. 

Keilty - Will be on our senior list at the end of next year. Very composed. Not ready yet for AFL but will be important back up for us in case something bad happens. 

Frost - Could easily come back next week but I dont think he has a match up against Collingwood. 9 touches. 

Weid - Gee he can take a mark. When he is in the game he is impressive. Then you dont see him for 10 minutes at a time. I'm looking forward to seeing him Round 1 for the Dees as he clearly has all the components to be a 200+ game player, it is just a time question. His tackling is outstanding. 

Bugg - Almost game. Almost breaking through packs - almost breaking the game open, almost taking possession. 9 touches. 

Trenners - 1 touch that quarter. Assuming tagged out of it? Didnt see much of him at all. 

Maynard - Looks a little behind the pace which is odd considering he is coming back to this level. He's had 11 but I dont think many have been effective. Looks like he could be a serious player in another 12 months. 

JKH - Bar that last goal, he really hasnt had an impact. Maybe 6 touches? 

King - Meese has had 50 hit outs and Watts played more on the ball in the second half and Weid went to the ruck at times. 

Hulett - Just is not having the same impact he had last year. I wonder if he will be rookied? He can kick a goal, has been crueled by injury this year and he should have just played forward all year (same with Keilty should have played back). I think he is worth hanging on to. 

Fritch - hasnt had much of a game today sadly. Such a good player but hasnt had an impact....yet....

pretty much my thoughts exactly @Dee-licious

the only thing i'll disagree with is that watts will be playing afl next week; he needs a much better second half

keilty and frost clearly the best demons

some of the ball movement leading up to maynard's goal from the top of the goal square just then was awesome

fritsch lead up to the ball at half back, reeled around and hit watts on the wing who scythed it to weideman leading up thru chf - was fantastic to watch

Maynard goals as Casey leads by 17 points.

what a bs free against Hutchins, disgraceful

This umpiring is absolutely terrible. 

lol this umpiring 

Goal to Yilber breaks the deadlock. Dees by 15.

Edited August 19, 20178 yr by KC from Casey

@DemonAndrew The thing I am seeing is that when he goes on to the ball we look dangerous. When he is deep we look like we miss class through the midfield (or down back). The other thing is I cant remember a missed kick. It seems that every kick he has had the target has marked it and probably 40% of those would be contested marks which are made to look uncontested. 

how good is Frost! 

Bugg misses a set shot almost dead in front.

I was shocked too.

frost is unreal - clearly afl-level

He and Watts look the standouts.

Bugg been really good in this quarter. Really gone in and under. The Weid goal at the end of the quarter was due to some really good work by Bugg in the back half. Watts better than quarter. Frost another really solid quarter. A little more from JKH as well.
