I'd probably put it another way. It would have been very unfortunate timing if the the siren had beaten the pass. Surprised that Spargo wasn't brought straight back into the seniors, even if he was sub. Maybe they want to give him some game time and increase his confidence at a lower level. I like Joel Smith up forward and he's moving well.

And who was he going to replace?

Ahhh pot black.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

First goal of the second quarter to Suns.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

A strong mark to the Suns, goal and scores are level.

[deejammin' 2,370]

Two quick goals from the Suns to level the game. Day and Burgess lively up forward. GC starting to win clearances and their KPF are marking a bringing the ball to ground.

Not sure I can handle this commentary. Clearly biased towards Gold Coast…Have these commentatos ever seen Casey play?

Given there’s the odd BBQ and a coronation somewhere? An interesting pairing here on Smithies VFL. One guy sounds like he called the dogs last night. The other ‘gentleman’ sounds like he just missed on the gig at Westminister Abbey, has the BBC plummy rounded vowels happening. Probably on standby for the ABC weather over the weekend.

Seems I'm the only one thinking its better than what I've heard this year in the VFL 🤔

Funnily enough, I think the commentators have been decent. Their ad libs aren’t great, and their knowledge does present as local bias, but the call of the action has been accurate. Which is far superior to the dartboard shots BT takes at players and calls. 

On reflection I agree and my earlier comment was a bit misplaced. Clearly they're local commentators and their knowledge of GC players is higher than that of Casey. Not their fault.

Compared to channel 7 at least they call the play, talk about the game and attempt to know the players names. There’s some annoying mannerisms and GC bias but channel 7 is so bad this is luxury in comparison.

Snap by Bailey Laurie, nice kick, close, but....

 

Missed it by that much

[deejammin' 2,370]

We’re peppering the goals but 4 points. Not sure if the breeze is more difficult to our end but they’ve all been tough shots.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Casey kicking points  - 4.7.31 to 4.3.27

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Spargo gets a poster.

[Diamond_Jim 12,589]

the first "peppering" reference

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Intercept by Adams and wonderful transition follows 

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Josh Schache takes a pass from Melksham to put Casey 11 points ahead.

Fair point. But with his skills he's far too good for VFL. 

[old55 23,589]

Jed Adams has looked good - two strong contested marks in the past few minutes

[Diamond_Jim 12,589]

"the coach killer" and Schache's first

Good chain by Casey

[deejammin' 2,370]

Great intercept marking from Adams down back, link work from Laurie and Spargo and a nice kick from Grey to Melksham leads to an easy goal. Although the subs just got another contested mark forward..

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Once again the Suns reply in quick time.

Loved the pass. That's what we want to see from Melksham.

I will go further, the AFL commentary, no screaming at every mark, easy listening  at smooth FM

[Crystal Dees 372]

Melksham is toying with the opposition.
