I understand Moniz has probably been asked to learn some defensive aspects of the game but surely he should be up forward most of the time?

Where else are the goals coming from at ground level on a regular basis?

Is it just me or is Bailey Laurie’s disposal terrible.  Watching this game and he misses targets and with time to consider still bombs long to nothing, with no advantage to Casey and the ball easily rebounds.

He knows how to be a 'small' forward, Goodwin believes in versatility, players able to play more than one position.

As for the injuries, he is still growing and his body complains now and again.

Nice shove against Curry not called there.  Then holding the ball after taking on two tacklers and just throwing the ball in the air after.

Yet ump picks out HTM directly in front.  Horrible and got what it deserved... a shocking behind lol

So Moniz kicks out of 50 up the line.... Port player couldve gathered but decides to leave it instead so it goes out.... then the ump calls it intentional haha.  What a joke 

They then kick it back in and score a goal.  The AFL has certainly stuffed the game big time from this side.

I assume it's not just you because there's a lot of Laurie haters here, but his disposal is consistently his strong suit. His next disposal after your comment he laced out schache who dropped it. Every Casey played has had some shockers by foot today. I'm more impressed that with Laurie's defensive endeavour with 11 tackles to half time. His hands in short have been elite as well.

Quality of the contest belies the relative ladder position of both sides.

It’s not the Port players job to pick up an intentional out of bounds kick any more than it would be to touch a bull going out of the full.

Been some shockers, but that wasn’t one of them

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
