Hadn’t heard anything about Bedford and Chandler having covid and being in isolation.  Has that been written or confirmed? It does appear the most likely reason given they’ve been key players at Casey this year, and not listed in the weekly injury discussion.  Any reference or source? 

the source is me.  

A lot to like about Turner the more you watch him.

Yep, he's a natural 

Weid finally took a mark and led to a great scoring chance that Steele smacked out of bounds. Harmes continues to think he’s Dusty with increasingly diminishing returns.

JVR can’t hold a mark either but his attack at the contest has been first class.

Laurie gets the benefit and converts. Casey in to the diagonal breeze this quarter 

 

Credit to Oskar Baker who has looked at Harmes’ failed attempts to break tackles and decided he can do the same with equally awful results 


Big Spencil going alright in the ruck

If required, Turner is already a more than adequate replacement for Lever.

Harmes has been awful.

Hopefully people don't get sucked in by his stats because he's butchered the footy going forward and has been pinged several times for holding the ball exactly as you described.

He'll never learn.

I think you could cut him some slack under these conditions.

Absolutely grim defensive work starting with Mitch Brown not manning the man gifts Carlton a goal 

Casey a risk of thinking the wind will do it for them

His inside grunt work has been good. It suits players of his ilk. Watching him closely hoping he can come in next week.

The issue though is attempted don't argues and all times and trying to take the tackler on when there have been options around him to give off.

In these conditions it's simple basic footy that's been taught from auskick, just get the footy on the boot and get it forward.

 


 

Weideman has had a big 2nd half. For a big bloke in these conditions hes been quite clean below knees.

I like him better when he's playing higher up the ground.

He had far more time and space but Harmes took the simple option, got it to JVR who crashed 2 in the pack and created the space for Steele to finish.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
