CASEY: Rd 21 vs Carlton VFL

[buck_nekkid 6,046]

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

[Demon Jack 6,930]

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.

Look it’s been a bad week for Melbourne. 

[Chook 15,022]

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

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Much needed goal to the skipper but Casey trail by 20 points 

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

Hail Mary kick into forward 50 and goal off the ground...

Nothing to excite

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Dunstan marks and goal - Casey down by 14 points.

[Chook 15,022]

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

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Quick response from Cahill of the Blues who kicks his fourth.

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

What a comedy of errors is Casey ball handling

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Nice pass from Jefferson to Buntine for Casey’s 5th and they’re back to 14 points down.

[Chook 15,022]

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.

[Demon Jack 6,930]

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 

[Jaded No More 68,974]

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

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Laurie scores and it’s an 8 point game.

[Diamond_Jim 12,628]

Lazarus has risen !!

[Demon Jack 6,930]

Adams has been impressive

[DeeSpencer 26,083]

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 

[Chook 15,022]

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

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,510]

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

In for who though?

[Jaded No More 68,974]

Adams will be a player. Could be another JT special.
