    Any mention of why Turner was a late out? Hope he's not being held over for any Lever problems?

    Assume he flew up in case we lose a key back before the game, standard practice.

    The advantage rule needs a review I think.

    Casey shooting themselves in the foot with terrible disposal 

    Absolutely. Field and goal kicking abysmal. The Captain has been the worst, his last 3 kicks have given the ball straight to the Suns.

    Joel Smith’s kicking for goal has been terrible.

    I agree. Casey didn't take the advantage. The players stopped. Then the umpire calls advantage and Woewodin get's caught because he's in a disadvantaged position.

    Suns knowledge of the prevailing  conditions must be worth something. As opposed to Casey, plently of endeavour, but the finishing is below par.

    MFC and Casey are playing at the same venue on the same day.

    It’s one rule that bugs me SD, they can’t get it right like soccer. The ref in soccer wouldn’t have blown the whistle for a foul if that team has the ball and is moving up the field.
    There was no need to blow the whistle and award holding the ball when Casey was about to enter the 50. All that did was make the player stop which is a disadvantage to the team.

    Finally, due to a short throw-in Gold Coast are advantaged because it falls into the hands of their ruckman unopposed. They called the back earlier when there was a short throw-in from the female goal umpire. Why didn't they do the same here? Directly from that, in the last play of the quarter with a kick after the siren the umpire allows the GC player, rather than kick over the mark, to kick at least 1m past the mark and hook it through. Should have been disllowed as he effectively played on.

    For me the issue is the lack of common sense. So the umpire makes a mistake in giving a free and deciding to call advantage. Why couldn't they see what we all saw, that there was no advantage, so bring it back.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
