CASEY: Rd 03 vs Port Melbourne

[Roost it far 8,581]

Good to see Turner playing. AMW the only one in that lot who may push. Hunter surely needs a few runs.

Hustwaite is a big out. 50/50 game this week. Need the forwards to fire.

I'll have a carnation between my teeth, a velvet jacket not dissimilar to that worn by Graham Teasdale and a cheese board. Mt Eliza local so will prop in front of the old stand if I rock up.

Ok so I look out for Groucho Marx then ?🤣

State representative Campbell Hustwaite who played well for the VFL team last weekend is out with a stress fracture of the foot.

Massive blow to Campbell Hustwaite and the Casey Demons. That stress fracture threatens to keep him out for several months. A former captain of the Collingwood VFL side, Hustwaite just missed out on getting drafted in thr SSP after training pre season with the Magpie seniors. This new setback will make it hard for him to be drafted in the midseason draft. He was one of Casey’s better players in its opening matches.

No. This week's game on tv is carlton Collingwood. However, if you are not aware, all VFL games are broadcast on the AFL website.

Great , thanks! I’d forgotten about that.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Mid field looking decidely thin without Hustwaite.

If we get anywhere near Port (within about 3 goals or so) or perhaps win, that will be an excellent result i reckon.

Laurie is probably the one who has a chance. I'm not seeing AMW making it but he could surprise.

Hunter is another but he needs a few games is my guess.

A pity the VFL team has a bye next week given they've just had one

What a laughable competition.

Goal to Kynan Brown

Port dominating 25 - 8.

[BC_1718_DC 1,367]

Inaccuracy hurts. Although the end we are kicking to with the breeze/swirl from the bay is a shocker.

Late Sestan goal boosts the side

[Nascent 9,283]

Verrall, Turner, Laurie playing well with Fullarton getting a bit of it as well. K Brown had a couple nice moments including a roving goal. AMW ok so far but some indiscriminate long bombs.  Hunter not overly involved and perhaps a bit rusty. Schache and Jefferson sometimes getting in each other's way. Good to see schache back on the ground though after he looked to injury his shoulder early on.

[DubDee 26,117]

We need Fullarton to get some form to come in for Brown and let JVR concentrate on kicking goals 

[DeeSpencer 26,080]

Verrall the highlight so far. Winning the taps and getting involved around the ground.

Kynan Brown with some flashes.

All 3 key defenders haven’t been good, although some signs from Disco, see how he is in a couple of weeks with some touch.

Not impressed by the lack of leadership and vibes. By some miracle big KFW took a mark 20m out directly in front and no one got to him to steady him for the shot and he subsequently hit the post.

[Tarax Club 3,958]

High rise behind the clubhouse sign of ‘relaxation’ of government planning decisions. Gold Coast on the Bay looming?

So far he’s a big crumber. Schache a big flanker. I’d pick Verrall for 40% game time over either.

But I also think JVR rucking is the best thing for him. He’d go stone cold playing forward 

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Josh Schache’s goal around the body puts Casey back to within a kick.
