Not saying much but ANB was clearly our best player today

His turnovers are game killers and even today there were several.

I think Jade Rawlings was less than impressed, as was I 

The disease has spread to the VFL level, it appears, from the valued commentary on DL. Some kids are really talented, no doubt, as it seems that they came from behind to crush Casey (not a normal team at that) as the game wore on. Coaches need some time to have a good dissection and discussion on such a performance, none the less.

that direct turnover in the backline where he kicked it straight to the opposition who goaded is probably equivalent to 10 of his possessions. so if he got 25, he now only really gets 15. that's how I see it. was hopeless by foot today.

How did Garlett go?

I don’t hate or love him, I just commented on what I saw. I hate bagging players (they are not ‘spuds’), but his play was noteworthy in its cost to the outcome.  Perhaps we all expect more given his role in the firsts?

I was commenting regarding people making fun of him - eg can he be dropped any lower.

no issue with pointing out when someone isn’t playing well

He is obviously not working hard enough at his skills at training

He is one of the hardest workers at the club. Some players have limitations on their skills and decision making and he is one.

Stretch was easily our best until rested.

[spirit of norm smith 16,454]

Agree. Stretch was Casey’s best.  Most of the other AFL players were poor.  

Real talent in the under 18s again. 

[Ugottobekidding 1,187]

Perhaps we are looking for the best available talent for our early draft pick???

[WERRIDEE 5,479]

Neal-Bullen was our best player but turned it over too much. Stretch was good for the time he was on the ground. The rest were ordinary.

Young is a player I'd like to pick up with our top 4 pick.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Should have played the seniors game as the curtain raiser. At least then I would have known to keep an eye on the potential top few picks in the next draft in this game.

Now that we're a bust, like the look of this bloke. We may just get him.

I’d rather Rowell, that blood nut is an absolute jet

God it’s dee-pressing to be looking at high end picks AGAIN

Thank goodness we didn’t trade out our 2019 first rounder

we don't need rowell. we need speed. rowell is a slowish accumulator with avg skills. I want someone with pace to burn.

CASEY TAKES ON THE AUSSIES by KC from Casey

 

The Casey Demons played an exhibition match against an Australian Under 19 team at the MCG on Easter Saturday but the game was played with more than half an eye on the fact that whilst their senior counterpart was taking part in their AFL Round 5 game against St Kilda later that afternoon, they also had an assignment just four days later against Richmond. 

 

The team, with 10 AFL Demons, opened strongly and dominated the first half to lead by four goals at the main break before taking most of their Melbourne players off and leaving the highly talented youngsters to use their skills to take over and run away to a comfortable 23 point win.

 

Billy Stretch was outstanding in the first half with 15 possessions, Jeff Garlett was busy around goal and Oscar McDonald was strong in defence. Declan Keilty was powerful in his few moments in the first half. Once they went off, Casey was left with few players with any AFL experience to speak of other than Alex Neal-Bullen who shone with 26 disposals.

Mykelti Lefau who came on at half time booted three goals against the tide.

Casey Demons 3.1.19 7. 4.46 8.6.54 11.8.74 

Australia 2.2.14 3.4.22 8.5.53 15.7.97

he looks like a better version of sam walsh to me

 

[Pipefitter 2,159]

Time to open up the draft board on demonland.

[dimmy 1,307]

By the look os thid OMac, Stretch & Gartlett are in for promotion .

TBH I think Spargo ,Jnr Wagner and Hunt might be looking down the barrell. I still think Hunt is worth perservering with because he has pace and is developing his tackling, but needs room to move.

ANB seem top be banished even though he is a busy bee which is better than havcing St Kilda Players standing 25m fro a Melb playing with a flag up saying, "MyTurn"

[dazzledavey36 54,926]

Is there a replay i can watch somewhere?

Whereas the Under 18's  were loaded with no players with AFL experience and they walked all over us.

They belted North by about 10 goals in same game last year and North had more afl players during the entire game.
