CASEY: Rd 06 vs Box Hill

[Demonland 72,230]

[Nascent 9,217]

Be interesting to see the teams and work out if anyone else is out due to health and safety protocols.

[DeeZone 9,871]

We may really see our List stretched over the next few weeks gives the kids and our Casey boys a real chance to step up.!!!

[KC from Casey 7,074]

Matt Buntine from GWS Giants will make his debut on Sunday.

Will be interesting to see where Buntine is at.  Had a very interrupted career so far with a few bad head knocks, ACL etc. 

Mind you it wasn't all bad news for the young fella...

[Demonstone 22,603]

Matt Buntine was clearly rated as a junior, being taken at pick 5 in the 2011 draft.

Adam Tomlinson went at pick 9 in the same draft.

[mo64 5,875]

On first glance, there appears to be only 2 changes from last week:

In: Hibberd, Buntine

Out: T Mac, Taj

Surprised that Ellison got dropped thought he looked good

[spirit of norm smith 16,476]

43 listed.  Howes Turner Salem Woey and the Covid 5 unavailable (9).  12 AFL Listed in the team. Big test v Hawks but big opportunity for some of the younger Casey players to step up. Hopefully Ellison comes back in with Melksham being promoted.

Was Taj concussed in that clash? It looked a nasty knock and his face was already swollen coming off the ground. I hope he bounces back quickly and doesn’t lose any confidence as he was looking the goods before then.

There will be at least one change as Jake Melksham was called up to play in the Melbourne team. Daniel Howe ended up as the medical sub for Hawthorn as did Kade Chandler at Melbourne but I assume that both might still play today as they only came on in the last quarter. I’m not sure of the rules but believe this has been allowed in the past.

The Demons have the advantage in AFL listed numbers but the Hawks are in form and always hard to beat at home. Expect a cracker of a game at Box Hill City Oval.

 

[Whispering_Jack 30,228]

The addition of Tomlinson and now Buntine seems to have meant that there is no spot for Ellison in the current line up. A bit harsh since he’s been playing well in defence and showed last year that he can also kick goals up forward. Hopefully, he gets his chance today.

[dazzledavey36 54,984]

Michael Hibberd a late out.

Mitch White with the reply.

Roan Steele is a gun

[chook fowler 19,459]

The ground surface looks like a cow paddock. Substandard.

Moniz- Wakefield looks a goer

[whatwhat say what 22,783]

if baker could hit the side of the barn door he'd be a decent player

[dazzledavey36 54,984]

Moniz Wakefield is really impressive.

I’ve also realised why we often hear that Baker is racking up the disposals. 3 times in that first quarter I heard the commentators call Oskars name when it was clearly other players. A clever snap from Laurie was attributed to Baker then a free kick in the back half moments later. Not sure who actually got the free kick but it was a small black haired player (possibly McPhee) but all the same I found it pretty frustrating. When I’m doubt, just say Baker. I’m sure Majak will clunk one eventually with the commentators praising Oskars strength 🤪
