Coburg has a debutant playing tomorrow named Dylan Thomas. I hear he’s poetry in motion.

That's coz each week he is versing another team.

Could be quite a composed player under pressure?

As per the opening post, “ALL MATCHES ARE STREAMED ON AFL.COM AND THE AFL LIVE APP”

[SidVicious 133]

Toby Bedford is on track to achieve some sort of record this season. He’s been the sub for all 5 Melbourne games (activated once only in Round 1). This has enabled him to double up for each of Casey’s games this season so by the end of the day today he will have 9 games on the board. Five for Melbourne and 4 for Casey.

And the latest update to the AFL app means it can be casted to your TV if you have a Chromecast.

So does that mean if he has a number of as medical sub games he goes above the cut off for playing Casey finals??  No wait it’s based on games played for Casey isn’t it?

What’s wrong with Howes?

Presumably the first ever Demons player to have featured in (at least) 8 wins by round 5.

I asked that too.

I guess we will have to wait until we get an injury update from the club.

Either way, let's hope it is nothing serious and Blake Howes will be back next week.

I presume he goes above the cutoff for Rising Star nomination as well.

A very interesting point you have raised.

[KC from Casey 7,211]

Good start to Casey with goals to Mitch Brown and Majak Daw. Demons lead 2.3.15 to 0.0.0.

[KC from Casey 7,211]

Coburg holding firm but unable to score. 

Casey leading 3.4.22 to 0.0.0. Daw has 2 goals.

Conditions blustery - wind favoring the Demons.

It feels like you are watching football in a phone booth. It doesn't help if all the play is on the other side.

You expect that on a windy day at Casey Fields.

[KC from Casey 7,211]

Steele marks and goals against the wind for Casey. Lead is 29 points.

Serious question KC.

What, if anything could they do at Casey Fields to minimize the impact of the wind (other than build stands)?

Both ends are open and the one time i was there (the roos practice match) i was thinking that perhaps some sort of wind breakers at the city end might help.  

The wind ruins so many games down there.

You would have to ask an expert that question. I suppose a couple of stands and a lot of tall trees would help.

Coburg have scored their first goal and are looking dangerous again.

Majak dominated the first quarter but hasnt been sighted in the second. Can a  Casey watcher provide some info?
