Number 57 Bowza mark 2 goes alright 

Well played. I had to take about 3 looks to make sure it wasn't him.

[dazzledavey36 49,742]

That was a fun game to watch. Youngsters really showed their worth.

Geez Jefferson can certainly take a good strong clunk. 7 marks and kicked 0.4. Still needs a bit of work but the talent is certainly there.

It's a pity poor old Schache copped a knee to the head because on today's form he was absolutely in line to replace Max. JVR didn't do his chance any harm. Just play the kid and get some games and experience into him now.

AMW, Howes and Kye Turner were all very impressive as well. Turner certainly provides drive off half back and AMW has a crack.

Seston is an unfinished product. Definitely needs to work on his tank and consistency throughout games, but when he does look out. The kid can play.

Thanks KC and all posters Casey really turned up today and that was a great win with a lot of debutants in the side. Go Casey Demons.!!!

Was about to ask that?  Copped a knee in the head late in Q3 so hopefully not concussed. 

 I was in and out watching the game and missed the Schache injury. He was excellent in the parts that I watched, kicked a few goals and took some contested marks. I thought he looked like a shoe-in for next week. What's the prognosis?

At first it seemed to be just an issue with his eye but Unfortunately he has been concussed.

[DeeZone 8,147]

That is so disappointing for Josh and MFC some players just don’t get the breaks.!!

[dl4e 5,687]

Not a bad game to watch. I thaught the whole Casy side contributed to the win. First one I amgoing to mention is Seston. He can ply. A good mark and has good ground skills. Can read the play well also. I would be replacing Melksham with Jordan next week but the main one is Max. If Schache is okay then he should replace Max but if not then JVR who i taught got better as the game went on. I was not greatly impressed with Dunstan or Laurie. Good at vfl but not for afl.

That really sucks for the boy. 
I think last night showed that McD really shouldn't be the back up ruck. Schache would have been great given his game today.

I don't think we should drop McD at all. His body work helps the other forwards and he's back up for defence. Just don't put him in the ruck.

Is this the time to (finally) unleash JVR?

Bugger.  So now he's got a minimum 12 days to curse his rotten luck 🙄 

[Dee-licious 1,867]

I Guess this is why JVR went to the ruck. 

[chook fowler 18,559]

Ky Turner looks a good pick up

[Demon Disciple 11,193]

Get PIG and May back in and the backline just looks so much more composed.

I thought Jefferson was supposed to be an elite set shot kick? Any idea what happened?

I thought it was his marking rather than his kicking. But I also haven't seen the points today, so they could just be hard shots.

Not all of his scoring shots were set shots. However there was one in the last quarter that missed narrowly. Given it went through near post high from 55 metres,  I think the boy can kick it a bit.

1. 45m kick 45 degree angle in to the breeze sails through narrowly left 

2. Sharks the subsequent kick in, probably nervous about the wind and the miss, plays on and gets partially smothered. I’d imagine he would usually go back and nail this one, just a rush of blood

3. Quality quick snap in heavy traffic that doesn’t catch the breeze, not a bad effort 

4. Long range set shot with the wind that probably started just left when he needed it just right of the goals. Not a bad kick, made the distance easily 

Not sure what the 5th was.

Great, thanks for the info. Wind obviously a factor.

Number of marks by Hibberd, JVR and Joel Smith is telling

Beautiful set shot routine. 

Any astute observers compare Seaston - when he gains AFL fitness - to any current or well known player’s role?  (Hopefully the comparison to Tapscott was either tongue in cheek or to his build and not his footy output.)

Its only R 2 and already DL is going into a state of mental collapse.

Good question.

 

I didn't see Daniel "Disco" Turner out there today?

 

Was pleased with the performances of many of our players.

 

Thought Matthew Jefferson did alright with a few good marks. Just gotta learn to kick straight.

Yes and I noticed he has a bit of mongrel in him too, which was surprising. When he develops, he and JVR will be the keys in our forward line.
