CASEY: Rd 22 vs Brisbane Lions

[Diamond_Jim 12,777]

Spargo gone quiet this quarter

[Travy14 2,142]

Turner has been outstanding under pressure 

[demon3165 2,865]

Saint Bernards are less sloppy than Casey at the moment. 

[Nascent 9,345]

Lohman has been impressive for the Lions. Might get a chance next week with McCarthy out injured. Ooc and dogs apparently keen.

Will see what we need in near 3 quarters

Not whether he can play a full game we won’t.

[Nascent 9,345]

Adams has developed nicely this year after a slow start from a limited pre-season. Fair bit to work with as a key defensive prospect.

[Diamond_Jim 12,777]

Brisbane dominating

Casey handballing their way into trouble at all opportunities

 Agree, I thought Jefferson was starting to look bigger, especially in the hip area. Muscle is building well, which I thought wouldn't happen.

Could probably add some value with some stints in the midfield I would have thought.

[Diamond Tim 291]

TMac not applying any fwd defensive pressure. Spargo playing well for mine. Like to see Hibbo lift.

[Diamond Tim 291]

Surprised to see Pig has had some many disposals but there you go. Rate him a cut above most vfl players......

3 tackles, the second highest for the dees. has been fine for a tall forward

And had a couple of poor tackle attempts.  was very good in the first though.

[dazzledavey36 56,347]

Some of our poor turnovers were from senior players who should be doing much better at this level.

Only one who is putting their hand up for selection are Woewodin and Daniel Turner.

Think that is harsh on T Mac and Hibbo. Agree that the mistakes are bad (a combo of running under the ball and delivery [due to no judging the wind]).

Thought Tom is our most likely key forward replacement atm. Kicked 2 goals and contesting.

Jefferson continues to improve, picking up kicks around the ground. He is a nice mark and lovely kick for goal, as demonstrated by his his beautiful shot today from about 45 out.

Daniel Turner is so dependable in the backline. Will be stunned if he isn’t a regular in the seniors soon.

I still like Deakyn Smith and would persevere with him. Woey going ok too.

Size would help, but the two big contests he lost was he thought he had it and a smaller, quicker opponent stole the ball, turned and ran. Annoying, but not something he can’t fix for the second half 

[Kev 10,930]

Edited, as I was wrong.

6th guarantees a week off, as 7 to 10 play for wild card entry into finals.

Nice kick from Grundy to Woey there

Dan Turner will be the biggest beneficiary of Petty’s forward form.

Lost count of the Casey errors in that last series of plays

Good the AFL is trialling this nonsense instead of working out a way for Casey to not have a bye every second week

Same old poor disposal costing them this game which they had controlled.
