So apparently you can run OOB and just keep going as long as you're a doggy.  There's no boundary line

Brilliant play from Baker to Hunt to Gray there.  Taking a shot now

A very wet scrappy day.  You would think the Casey forwards would be playing mostly in front for the shanked kick ....hmmm

3QT: Casey Demons 7.9.51 to Footscray VFL 6.6.42.

The Demons have a 9 point lead at the last break but the skies have opened and it’s going to be hard to score in the final quarter.

Goals Chandler 3 Grey Laurie Moniz-Wakefield Valentine

Oskar Baker picking up a swag of kicks off half back. He has 23 touches.

Did well to hold off that mini comeback.

Making too much sense to comprehend

Starting to over handball and play a bit cute.

Where's Dunstan?  Need some leadership for the young players.

We have a deep aversion to the corridor at all levels it would seem

I could be wrong in my assessment but I’ve found that the “Melbourne way” is boundary line style but looking for that release kick through the corridor. Hasn’t been the way for much of the year but it’s what we seemed to do well last season. Knowing and and being able to pull the trigger is so important to generating positive forward entries.

[censored] I hope that’s not the case tonight.

But we are a defence first team nowadays. Going via the boundary allows us to defend it more easily. Boring but that’s our set-up atm

When you're undefeated in a reserves competition where you are developing skills I think it's not too much to ask to see a Plan B every now and then. 

Nice mark and goal by JVR

Edited July 23, 20223 yr by Diamond_Jim

JVR!

We are missing Mitch White, his big body and stabilising presence would help us on this kind of day.

Van-Royen to settle us, Goal.

Mark and set shot goal to JVR from 40m out!

Casey up 59 to 42 at 9 min mark of Q4.

I honestly don’t think we have a plan B

JVR breaks the deadlock with a goal.

Ummm.

Haven’t lost a game. It appears Plan A is serving us quite well.

Big goal there from JVR.

It's a development league remember. Winning is nice but not that important

We have in the seniors though hbt. And its predictability is becoming seemingly easier to counter.

They play the same as the seniors. With one way to play so it is understandable and followed. Tactics change but not your plan of playing. There is no plan B.

Kade Chandler take a bow!

Kade is definately making a good case to play in the ones.
