Brown Dog jr could be a better player than the Kolt. 

Or... they might both end up being VG players

Hunter’s been very professional late but he’s still fallen over when there’s any kind of contest and had penetration in the legs, couldn’t get near picking him on this performance 

I'll politely disagree.  I'd go as far to say he is a certainty to be in the 23 against the Tigers.  Match winning second half. 

Interesting that Turner went forward and looked excellent until he then went behind the ball once we had the lead. He is too good for VFL, even after a stint off, is this the attempt to find him an AFL spot as the third tall forward if/when Brown wains?

A good comeback against mature bodies on a skinny ground. There is something to work with, with Verrall, Pup and possibly Sestan.

Whether it’s this year or next, we are going to need another tall forward be it to replace Brown or Petty or both.
Perhaps the club is confident that Adams will come good down back and will be able to replace Tmac/May in the longer term, and they see a more immediate need to find another fall forward. Also with Hore now on the list, there is probably a bit of overlap for that third intercept defensive role. 

Lots to like for the future!

Adams. Turner AMW Verall Pup  Sestan woey 2.0 Kolt Duke McV Howes 

Does Pup come in and Kozzie to the CB?

Oliver to be ready for the Tiges?

Laurie in?

Some encouraging performances today Kynan Brown 3 goals, 8 tackles. Bailey Laurie 13 hand passes, 17 tackles! Will Verrall 31 hitouts, 4 tackles 20 disposals. Daniel Turner 9 marks, 3 tackles, 1 terrific last qt. goal. Oliver Sestan 20 disposals 3 goals. AMZ 6 tackles, 16 disposals. Tom Fullarton 2 goals 7 marks, 21 disposals. Josh Schache 3 goals, 7 marks, and Lachie Hunter 22 disposals, 4 tackles (mostly in the second half).

Mate of mine said Shack attack went of early with what looked like a broken collarbone, but came on and was very physical which is great!

Jeffo developing some  real forward craft.

Yes. I keep hearing he is a wonderful mark of the football. Except today he didn't take any. But on a positive note, his 4 disposals is 3 more than he had in the last final Casey played in.

I don't think I have ever seen a player with less presence, at any level.

Someone has to take this kid aside and tell him the facts of life.


Didn't the club extend his contract recently??

What I like about Turner is he crashes packs with force when going for a pack mark, he is also a good reader of the play and a good kick and mark. 

Could be a forward then??

I couldn't of put it better myself. Here's a kid with as much chance of making the grade as me.

I think so, in fact a switch type of player but would give him a decent Crack as a forward.


Just when these players need a game to display match day skills we get another bye.

There's possibly some life in Laurie.

Don't mind players being exposed to other positions especially the half forwards and pockets.

BBB should only play 3 out of every five games IMO. There's a spot which would probably have gone to Joel S in the off weeks but it's definitely up for grabs.

McAdam at the next Casey match could be worth the entry fee

Agree. He has some speed about him and decent ground ball skills for a tall as well. I would give it a go. 

Verrall did well generally but woeful kicking.  KFW shouldn't be playing at this level.

Jefferson & Adams are extremely disappointing for reasonable draft picks with a year in the system.

If you check today’s statistics l’ve probably got egg on my face. When the game result was being fiercely contested in the last quarter. Two team orientated interventions from young Jefferson contributed to the Casey win. A cool handball in the goal square melee to Pup Brown. Allowing him the minimal time and space to snap a goal to take the lead for Casey for the first time. Followed up by a goal face shepherd which helped extend the Casey lead. Very small steps in the big picture but there is a glint of light there.
 

I’m hopeful the old adage tall forwards take time applies. But l can understand why people make early calls. I’m sure the decision makers don’t want egg on their faces. There was a recent contract extension provided to young Jefferson, so they are keeping the faith. But the ball is in Jeffo’s court.

I dunno Roost, you showed plenty for the Chum Creek under 9s. Show a bit of patience. Some kids develop at different pace. Remember how some were calling for McVee to be delisted at the start of last season. 

Wandered down today to sunny Franga, quickly inserting myself into the quarter time huddle and congratulating the Kolt on playing his first game. Max, JVR were there also.

Very small crowd and found myself standing next to Alan Richardson, McWalter? and Goody.

What I can say is that, through a little subtle eaves dropping, (I.e. reading a newspaper with two eye holes for visibility) the following definitely  impressed Goody and Richo:

Sestan

Lachie Hunter - particularly second half.

Verall

 

Choco Williams is a great clubman. Gets around players. A master of instilling belief.

I’ve watched about 15 Casey games with him in them. He has shown nothing to suggest he’s going to make it. Doesn’t take marks, doesn’t kick goals, doesn’t hit packs and is only an average kick.

You're making this up. As far as I remember nobody ever called for McVee to be delisted.  

Where's your proof  ??

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
