White and Jetta get late goals.

Classy goal from Nev Jetta receiving from Vandenberg.

Vanders is a smoky for AFL yet this year.

Game over and a big win to Casey.

Haha, that Hird goal was 4 Casey players going up to spoil, only for it to come off for the crumb. Dumb dumb footy. Most of our Dees brigade look a serious class above. Like the look of all the newbies, no exceptions. Bedford is very very quick, and good. Needs an AFL gig, poor kid. Love that Nathan Jones, no. 2. Is he on our list?

Weid kicks a goal from a spot where Brown dropped a mark earlier today...

 

Don't go there, I understand why but makes you like them.

He's been ok today, clearly working hard just hasn't impacted like he/we would like

Very satisfactory afternoon. BB kicked a bag. Has to start v GWS. No point waiting.

Jonesy very good , Melks, Baker, Vanders all in amongst it. The Weid was up and down. Hopefully he can build some confidence over the next few weeks and be ready if called upon.

Of the youngsters Bowey looks composed. Classy player. Developing nicely. Laurie quieter but he’s had a long lay-off. Rosman has a lot of development to go before being considered for the firsts.

So the team went well?

Thats what I gathered from this thread. 

I gathered some other things from this thread that are best left here.

But the team played well.

very ordinary win

It would be funny if you weren't serious.

So a diplomatic way of saying exactly what I said

didn't think I'd say it...but in the heat of September there might be a role for the body player like Vandenberg.

Very good game today

Bradtke down back was interesting. Didn't do too much but didn't make any mistakes.

Cannot see any candidate to replace Hibberd next year if needed. May need to trade for that player.

Baker is becoming good at this level.

A 48 point win after 5 weeks off is ordinary?

Pending rest of the game, it could be something like Brown and Jones/Melk in, Sparrow and Spargo/Kozzy out.

Spargo or Kozzi will not be getting dropped.

Deakyn Smith is pretty handy. Might not be ready yet but he’s better than expected

That is false on many levels. Very few experienced forwards go to the VFL and dominate. Delivery, poor windy grounds and poor quality teammates often means key forwards struggle the most at this level. We know Brown can play AFL. The questions remain over his fitness. If he’s looking strong and fit he gets a recall. Doesn’t need to kick 10 goals. 
 

Edit: he also doesn’t need to kick 10 at senior level. He needs to take marks, compete in the air and on the lead and provide a meaningful target. Fritsch best games this year were when Brown was deep forward taking away defenders. 

no you are wrong if you cant get kick at thet level then you not playing well,look at jones to good for the level and it stood out

A convincing win by a side that hasn’t played for 5 weeks is much more than an ordinary win. A foolish post.

Totally different players with different requirements for their positions.ie forwards need good delivery.

Vanders and Bedford are ready to go.

An absolute second half goalfest. LoLo may be a stylish way to get your lockdown home delivery but the floating rear suspension is so passé. Pump up your shocks!

Enjoyed the Browns' contributions, Mitch unfortunately out with an inopportune injury, Ben showing something up forward and Campbell would be a major improvement in the big league. Talks common sense with more than a hint of authority.

Plenty to like about  from the guys that played, both veterans and rookies. Is Aaron Vandenberg a chance of a recall at some stage? Body and Soul player at his best.
