The score line is flattering Casey who are getting well and truly beaten in the middle and struggling to hold the ball forward.

Joel Smith has been the stand out with his ability to lead up and mark and his forward pressure.

Harmes is trying to get in to it but has been very fumbly. Laurie has had a number of excellent tap ons and baulks but hasn’t found the space or enough if the ball to really cause damage. 

Anyone wanting McDonald and Brown in next week, forget it. Both just struggling.

No one really putting their hand up at all except Joel Smith.

Looks like Petty the only in next week and I'm fine with that.

This sentence must have hard to type Dazzle!

for those watching does Ben Brown seem like his body is right? or just plain out of touch and form?

Not sure I entirely agree. Casey 30 Inside 50s to 23 Box Hill. Looks like a difference in class to me. I agree they need more possession. Like last week Casey are missing Jimmy Munro!

Not sure if he looks restricted.

BBB has been getting some involvement, but not coping when an opponent is close to him.

Melksham gets his second.

I’d hazard a guess that the wind would be making it hard for marking forwards. Was really impacting ball movement that quarter.

Bailey Laurie goals - lead is 22 points.

Ollie Sestan goals - 71 - 43

I don’t mean to be unkind but is Jefferson’s kyphosis getting more pronounced? Hunchback of Notre-Demon

BBB and Tmac need to do more at this level.

hard to get a feel for them as the delivery like last week has been poor

TMac is trying to bullock his way through and is failing

Milkshake showing a bit for the highlight reel.

Tommy does some good things but then refuses to use first options. He had his man turned around there. Had smith on his outside, not hard to tap it on or flick it up. Yet he tries to go down and fend around or whatever it is. And he does it consistently. If he took simple options every time he got it he’d start playing with more confidence.

Has to be moved to the backline to get more easy ball IMO. A few weeks down back will help his form more than battling away at half forward 

milkshake, harmes the obvious ones calling out for a step up for next week

callum brown deserves a spot on an afl list at the midseason draft

dunstan out of it with a leg injury

Casey lead by 29 points 

Melksham v Schache is interesting

Nice goal by Taj

melksham's ground level work at this level is outstanding

Our forwards kept getting called for holding in one on one contests which is baffling and not something you see all that often 

Three Quarter Time: Casey lead by 23 points - 13.7.85 to 9.8.62.
