No structure in front of the ball, no structure behind the ball, lack of contested ball wins everywhere….  Sheesh

 

Harmes caught holding the ball in the centre and the Blues with an opportunistic goal.

Bailey Laurie is a massive DELIST for mine. His fumble there on the forward flank shows limited football ability. Fwiw…this Casey team is plying big ordinary football. No cohesion at all

That's an interesting take on a guy who has probably been our best.

Tomlinson needed to hit that simple 30 metre kick. Laurie was always getting closed down there after that missed kick, Laurie got it back to Tomlinson who turned it over again in board resulting in an easy Carlton transition goal. All on Tomlinson that one.

 

McDonald is able to ruck and is clearly a better forward than Grundy. Get him in.


 

Spargo a class above Casey's VFL mids, who are having a collective shocker.


Great scrubbing effort on the ground from McDonald to get the ball out of a contest situation and cleanly handball to a free player ending in a goal.

Ned Cahill with a Kingsley like performance so far with four goals for the half.

Nice piece of play from Jefferson who bullets a pass to Buntine who brings it back to 14 points.

The Harmes and Munro spud off has been compelling.

Casey have done well to scrape 3 of the last 4 goals, just need to settle down around the ball and trust their forwards.

George Gray has been very good to get Casey back in the game 


McDonald still with ok touch and desperation for the footy. I guess we need to see how he runs out the second half

Adams has been impressive

Schache should ruck the second half to get him in the game.

Verrall - who looks a proper talent - should play forward to see how he goes.  If he can compete forward he’d almost be a crazy chance to play next week 

Big Kyah has no place at this level, back to the talent league please 


Spargo's touch is lightyears above this level. Rolled gold lock for next week.

Really do appreciate the updates from everyone but I am so confused about what’s going on!

  • 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?
