It’s their first year of senior footy. Get a grip.

Both coming from a long way back in terms of fitness. 
Jefferson is 6kg soaking wet playing as a key forward.

Sestan and Jefferson not giving much to get excited about 

Sestan has been ok in and under in the midfield and kicked a miracle goal. I’d hate to be any forward for Casey today, our kicking into 50 has been appalling. No chance. The one decent kick we’ve had in the second half Jeffo marked but shanked the kick on goal. I wouldn’t write them off based on today.

I've liked Howes game today.

He still couldn’t be sub or the carry over emergency if he played a full game for Casey. Can’t front up two hours later for an AFL match. 

Agreed but Chookrat suggested that he flew up as sub. I merely clarified that he was at the venue regardless.

Gee this is the worst defending I’ve seen from a Casey team in many a year. Lost their DNA a bit this year from games I’ve seen.

What would you like me to grip?

[Sydney_Demon 1,175]

A total lack of pressure. Smith under no pressure kicks 15m over the head of a leading forward. 1 GC against 4 Casey players. GC player naturally takes the mark. What is going on?

 

[KC from Casey 7,063]

Goal to Melksham but the floodgates have opened and it’s too late - 112 to 84

[Crystal Dees 372]

Is Bailey Laurie still out there?

Maybe not - Joel Smith gets his second.

[Crystal Dees 372]

Charlie has been good too.

Your head. If you’ve watched any Casey this year (evidently not) you’d know these two guys have shown more than most young kids do early. Guess you’re one of those blokes who like to make a criticism no matter what though, hey?!

Goalkicking has killed us! 
13.14 with at least 3 out on the full. Should at least be a lot closer. Annoying.

[chook fowler 19,458]

Spargo’s disposal is a cut above

And that’s after putting on nearly 12 kgs since last year.

How is Jed Addams going lots of touches???

The commentator just said his turnover inside 50 was his first mistake today. He’s had 17 touches and I’m almost certain 16 have been terrible. 

Correct.

Those two clowns commentated to amuse themselves.

I think I heard a pearler from them, when one said, " I think the best way to get a clearance is to have the ball" and then another was " when kicking for goal it's best to kick accurately".

Getting back to White, I have never seen him play worse or kick worse. Hopefully it was just a bad day.

I thought our best were Laurie, Howes, Woey and Tomlinson.

How are TMac and BBB going?

[Diamond_Jim 12,568]

a minor train wreck

Could have won if we kicked straight but the forward set up was dysfunctional. As usual too much forward pocket delivery. Attacking players not willing to cut back to the centre hot spot 35 out. Forwards rarely on the lead

Laurie and Spargo had decent games

Well, in reality both statements are true. Lol

And where does that game plan come from?

[AzzKikA 2,371]

Hope that's not a sign of things to come 😬

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

I suspect White may have had some 2nd game soreness/blues guys after a long layoff and clean out of that knee.

Maybe a bit of strength and match fitness / conditioning lacking.

Remembering that most players who come into a season off a knee or something that's held em back from a normal full pre-season usually don't perform at their usual standards in some or more games on their return.

We are witnessing a little of this imv with May at the moment.  Fingers crossed he's on the up and up though.

White might need to be managed (off the bench for alot less game time?) at some point depending on how he pulls up today.

Might be best not to judge him too harshly today given the above.
