CASEY: Rd 14 vs Gold Coast

[Diamond_Jim 12,639]

Brown with 6 goals

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Seven goals for the term.

Mitch Brown has 6 for the game.

[djr 1,605]

I really like Chandler as a midfielder. At this stage he reminds me of young Viney when he first came to the club. He's tough at it.

[Sideshow Bob 2,443]

Reckon Casey would be more competitive than Norf if they played in the big league

[Diamond_Jim 12,639]

Would like to see Rivers play on the wing at Casey

[KC from Casey 7,117]

3QT Casey 20.15.135 to Gold Coast 8.9.57

Goals  Brown 6, van Rooyen 3, Chandler, Steele 2, Baker, Grey, Laurie, Melksham, Moniz-Wakefield, Munro, Valentine

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,084]

Gold Coast have a lot of guys that have played AFL games in their side

[Ham 741]

Wow, this is gearing up to be a massive margin. 

[daisycutter 29,795]

we should win this one if we can keep our nerve

[Return to Glory 8,448]

It’s like they’ve got two blokes off the street to umpire this one. The decisions are mind boggling.

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Jake Melksham gets the first of the last.

[Diamond_Jim 12,639]

Wouldn't mind an occasional entry into the corridor by Casey

[Diamond_Jim 12,639]

Rivers has a lazy shot out of defence to two Suns players resulting in a snap goal to the Suns

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Game over and it’s another big win for the ladder leaders

Yes, but the Suns are obviously loading.

JVR was cramping early in the last qtr. It's mind boggling that he's playing 2nd ruck at Casey. There's been a spate of ruckmen getting injured this year, so why take an undue risk with our thoroughbred colt.

Despite the massive win, the only Melbourne listed players who put up their hand for selection were Chandler, Hunt and Brown. Riv was very disappointing.

Chandler had a great third quarter but was only serviceable for a lot of the rest of the game.

Agree for such a massive win there was not much to excite

If Jacko or Weid suddenly missed this week who would come in to the side as back up ruck? It would be JVR. So get him a look in that role. Plus it’s good for his development, and if he’s cramping then it’s good for his fitness too!

The risk of injury in back up ruck minutes would be marginal compared to straight up key forward

Did you watch the game? JVR was non competitive as a ruckman. And to answer your question, Ben Brown wound 2nd ruck, and either Mitch Brown or JVR would come in as key forward.

IMO Mitch Brown should have played 2nd ruck for Casey, and JVR key forward.

Would be Mitch Brown surely? Potentially even Tomlinson who did some back up ruck for us early on when he came to us. Very much doubt it would be JVR.

[monoccular 17,607]

I would be interested in the opinions of those who know a lot more then me if either (or both) Bell and Valentine are in the age mix / physicality / skill set to make it at AFL.

Thanks in anticipation.

Tommo’s an option I guess, I definitely wouldn’t ruck either of the Brown’s. From what I saw in patches of the 3rd quarter JVR had no idea what to do in the hit out but his follow up was good and he got involved around the packs. Whether he’d be any chance to play or not I think it’s good for his development

I definitely think JVR playing some ruck at Casey would be good, but I don't reckon we'll play him in that role for his first senior game. That's all aside from the fact he's only 193cm, so that combined with his physical maturity precludes him playing ruck at AFL level anytime soon IMO.

Bell is 21, was on the Saints list for ‘20. Not sure how much footy he played last year.

He’s 202cm, which I’d say is solid but not great for a bean pole and looks an ok athlete. But you’d want him to either be taller or more athletic for his skill level which isn’t that flash. Still, he’s only had a couple of games as the main man without Daw, and he likely had covid interruptions last year. So he’s finding his feet and there’s a look that there’s improvement in him. 

I’d say he’d be one to watch more than a standout to add to the main lis right now.

What a recovery by Mitch Brown after the 5 behinds!
