CASEY: Rd 16 vs Sandringham

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 2,930]

Sadly Howes looks to have copped a bad injury. Can’t tell if it’s a knee hyperextension  or a twisted ankles. Looked higher up the leg to me

[KC from Casey 6,562]

Howes injures himself late in the game - looks like an ankle. Handpass to Tomlinson who gets caught and gives away the free and a goal. Junk time Casey 33 points ahead.

Looked a hip flexor thing to me. Strange outwards twist of the whole leg.

Quite possibly. It was a weird looking one. Was in a fair bit of discomfort

Commentators talking about the kids behind the goal.

It used to be a regular occurrence at the MCG, city end before the upgrades. A big standing area was a great place for the kids in the 1970's.

Pity about Howes - looks to be a player, clean and composed.

All over … a well earned win and a week off next week for Casey

Was JVR on in the last quarter- didn’t see him

Considering it’s a short turnaround to a Friday night game for the AFL maybe didn’t play the last?

I can't remember seeing him either.

Maybe because of a quick turnaround (MFC friday night game), they rested him, just in case he is needed.

Though wasn't at his best, and I reckon could do with some more time at VFL level.

Doing a lot of playing from behind.

I spoke to Jake Melksham and congratulated him on his 100th game with Melbourne.I said the club didn’t acknowledge it on their website.Jake said they probably didn’t know.If this is the case l believe it is appalling.

Luckily it didn't effect his game, played well.

Another Casey conundrum

A good win but few stand outs.

Liked Verral... he was well beaten but maybe there's something there

Laurie and Chandler were disappointing

JVR.. just okay

Schache... maybe but is he just too good for VFl but.....

Tomlinson ??

Campbell for Sandy was the stand out player

[george_on_the_outer 7,002]

This was Schache's 50th VFL game between the Dogs and us. 

Should indicate to people why he isn't playing AFL.

[Jaded No More 58,285]

Anyone know what the Howes injury is?

Not really, he hasn’t mentioned Collingwood.

Looked very much like hip to me. I’ve done that injury and it was incredibly painful. Much worse than broken arms etc. 

[waynewussell 4,092]

Schache has a few things we need. He is a very good set shot for goal. He is competitive in forward ruck work. He has good foot speed and athleticism for his height. Yes, he is not robust, but he only needs five possessions inside 50 to be 'the missing link', given the loss of Fritta.

Tomlinson playing says to me that they expect Petty to be fine for Friday. 

Does it really fit that because Petty might be in doubt his potential replacement wouldn’t play at all today?  Then if he pulls up ok Tommo would miss a full match play.

Are you also describing the Weed?

We know how that story goes.

[old55 21,365]

Howes ooked like a medial knee injury to me but no certainty.

Jefferson took two great contested pack marks and flew well for others. Once he gets some bulk he'll be very good.

Verrall was very promising too, rucked against Tom Campbell which was tough, but really followed up well for clearances and tackles.

I really like the look of Howes. The only thing working against him is we have a balanced defence and an over abundance of running skilful half backs. It’s a good problem to have.

I reckon at 90% of other teams Howes would have had a crack at AFL level by now.

He started as a winger at Casey before being pushed out to HB.  Might get a chance for us here at some point. 

Maybe not this season though bar injuries.

Nothing substantial... just a double cramp higher up that buggered him late in proceedings.
