A question for '@DeeSpencer' and '@dazzledavey36'....over the last few seasons I've made comment on the low possession stats across the board at Casey.

....but in this game they've jumped up significantly.

Is there a change in game plan? was the previous stats person visually challenged?

Is there a trend here?

Serious question here guys, despite the remark on the stats taker.

I reckon many VFL games can be scrappy and congested.  Lots of stoppages.  I said to my daughter that this game was fun to watch.  Open and uncharacteristically free flowing.  Perhaps this contributed to the higher possession counts.

    Looks a bit Jakovitchy?

    Hibbo had a field day across half back.

    The 4 primary Casey on ballers were Dunstan (29), JJ (28), Laurie (29) and Munro (12 with 16 tackles).

    Everyone else roughly lines up with the disposals you’d probably expect on a day you’re controlling more of the play. Defenders had good numbers and forwards all got involved.

    JJ had more handballs than kicks but Dunstan and Laurie both kicked the ball more than handballed. I think in previous years with Mitch White being a kick first player and a dominant tap ruck in Daw they’ve played fairly direct footy. 

    Otherwise I didn’t really notice much of a change in game plan.

    Like an off beat blues musician, they move a little differently these types.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
