Did Jetta play today?

Half a game I think. Didn’t see him after half time. Was average before then but first game back. Lever was outstanding. James Jordan and JKH were very good

Thanks, DZ.  Was able to watch the 2nd half (and see for myself the woeful kicking for goal.  Clearly no doubt they are aligned to MFC!!).

Winning is wining even if it is by 13 bloody behinds.

Goes to show that you don't need to kick goals if you kick enough behinds

Great coverage as always folks 

this is  the first game Jordon has played in the guts yeah, having mostly played back flank in his debut year on the list?

Perhaps Barrie but on the other hand, they’ve just won their fourth on the trot. 

If only the MFC could do that!!!

Not sure, but no goals and not many possessions 

[spirit of norm smith 12,976]

Good to hear Jordan was one of the best. Still a youngster at only 18. Great skills.

True!  But, they sure do it the most painful way possible for us poor supporters!

No you didn't.

We had 13 more scoring shots and won by thirteen points. What I saw in the 3rd and last quarter was astounding. Just a note on a few players.

Lever. Thaught he was our best player. stopped nearly everything that went near him.

Chandler. In and out sort of game but was busy around the packs.

Jordan. Played a good game. Why didn't they put him in the seniors instead of lewis.

Maynard. Really solid game. Hope his shoulder will be okay.

Omac. Got a bit of ball on the outside when he was alone.

Wagner. Good solid game. Much better at clearances than other players.

JKH. Not outstanding but played well and positioned himself fairly well.

Jetta. Played but that is all. Will need a couple more vfl games to find his feet.

Baker. Ordinary 1st half but much better in the second.

Yes Bedford was okay. In and out player but can find the goals.

Probably could have played in the firsts.

Listening to the game on Casey radio, it was almost identical to the seniors. The ball in our forward line the whole time, missing easy shots, then the ball goes down their end for a split second, and they "strike it beautifully" from 52.

The only difference was....we won.!

[Diamond_Jim 11,820]

Just back from a lovely day in the sun at Casey sitting mainly on the Berwick Rise.

A lovely freshly cooked bacon and egg roll at half time.

I left my phone at home so no game time commentary from me. Did you miss much... probably not.

Three goals to the Blues from 50 metre penalties and inaccurate kicking from the Dees nearly decided the game against Casey but thanks to a couple of scrappy goals in the last it was a win.

To me it was a game of two halves (I have always wanted to use that cliche.)

The first half in which Casey may best be described as lethargic. Three players came to my notice. Jetta.. two mistakes.. two goals to the opposition ... (obviously needs a run)... O Mac... he tries but his turn back into an opposition player and thus caught holding the ball was cringeworthy. Lever.. much better but not really on top..however he was one of the few Casey players running on to present the next target in the chain. A class above.

Then we have the second half in which Lever starred. Casey should have been four or five goals up at 3/4 time but couldn't buy a goal. The last quarter was probably even with an almost goal for goal tussle. James Munro had a strong game all day long. Oscar started to play a strong game with some courageous marks.

And probably the star for me was our perennial friend JKH... provides drive at all times .. could be better directed but at this level he is a strong player.

As to what it meant for the AFL team... probably not much except that Lever played very well and will most likely play seniors next week. (There was one worrying moment for Lever in the third quarter.. almost by accident he went shoulder high on a Carlton player and then went over the player's shoulder to descend head first towards the ground. Looked dangerous to say the least but luckily he landed okay.)
