Szybkowski some nice kicks  in the last five minutes

 

The stats don’t show that great mark from Jeffo. Think he’ll be much better when a player like Schache isn’t in the side. Sounds silly but Jeffo doesn’t get a lot of space when Brown - Schache and one of Fullarton/Verrall sit down there too. Not ideal for his development.

Tholstrup looks to be done for the day after going to the rooms for what appears to have been a concussion test.


Love Shack!

On delay hence the quadruple earlier!

 

Casey have been very poor in terms of their defensive structure, letting several goals over the back. 

Hore is a bit dopey.

McAdam looks a very good forward and obviously AFL level talent.

Jefferson is too slow in both body and mind to play AFL.

Seston looks like a good VFL player now with a high level of balance and skill. I am not sure he will ever get the fitness to play AFL but there is a lot to like.

Fullerton has picked up a lot of possessions but does not scream AFL talent.

Brown has done little.

Hunter is still good enough.

Two hit outs and clearances now

Fullarton is actually playing well around the ground.


Only sneaking views of the game during work, but so far  I've seen three impressive overhead grabs from McAdam. I think we'll see him in the 1s very soon.

Only watched the last half of that quarter but Casey seemed well on top all over the ground, and McAdam yes please if he can follow up with a good second half.

It is hard to find a stand out. Game by Casey is either chip it around or play through congestion often with a turnover. Very few periods of open play

Second quarter similar to first quarter tigs gain momentum. Casey doggedly fight back, regain momentum and score freely. If Casey can apply defensive pressure more consistently will aid winning chances in second half.

Thanks mate. 

Has Verrall been playing more forward? Curious given he's been credited with two goals, or has he floated forward from the main ruck duties?

Appreciate the insight if you're able to give some. 

Both 50 - 50 mate

 

Fullerton has now been more active around the ground which has given Verrall more time forward

If he can stay fit he will add to our side.


Numbers & pressure through the corridor their really poor

 

Great relieving mark from Tomo against Wojsinski (spell!?)

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
