laurie makes smart decisions but he doesn't get involved enough in the play

is he playing back today in the Bowey role?

 

Taking our opportunities in this quarter, JVR, AMW, Woewodin. 

More players getting involved, Dunstan, Laurie, Freeman.

Backline still holding up when GWS are trying hard to get back in the game.

Casey 50 to  GWS 11

Edited by kev martin

 

Laurie turnsover in the backline, leaving an entry and goal for GWS.

Follows up from the centre bounce, with getting the ball, linking to JJ, then JVR who marks in the goal square.

57 to 17

Sounds like Woe is really pushing for AFL debut. Has he been playing pure midfield today?

Tomo also out 

I saw him up here in Alice yesterday


impressive half of footy; could be even further up

8.9.57 to 2.6.18

jj everywhere with 24 and 6 clearances, while woey 2.0 and dunstan have 14, and laurie just behind with 13, munro 12, and turner and howes 11 apiece

goals: woey 2.0 3, jvr, amw 2, jefferson 1

Much better quarter by Laurie

Jefferson went quiet but JVR came into it. A reversal of the first quarter. (Could be they are interchanging but not clear)

He has been on the wing, though pushing up into the half forward area.

A little quiet at times, has quality and composure.

I also think he has 3 goals up to half-time.

The young guy doing special comments is rather good

Lead. Bur agree - I've heard him do Casey a couple of times. Really like his work.

The woman doing special comments, whose name escapes me  but is an AFLW player, is good too.

It makes such a difference to hear decent commentators.

Woey has started the 2nd half on the ball.

Charlie Spargo is similar, but Charlie has the tank to go with it now and I wouldn't be surprised if he's back in the 22 over the next month.

no, still half forward moving up to the wing

The Spargo role by the sounds of it, although I'm not watching the game.


GWS came out strongly in the 3rd, we get a goal against the flow and from a backline effort, Schache goals. GWS has lost that domination, though still trying.

69 to 26

My apologies to the special comments lady. This half they seem to have adjusted the audio and the gender is obvious to my old ears.

Great commentary today

ON AFL website final teams there is no Spargo or Melksham. 2 emergencies still in Alice I hope milk is sub.

 

Melk wet weather specialist should be playing if it is kissing down with rain.

This mistake was made against the Powa in R10.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
