Laurie is a small forward with no real pace but has footy smarts. Perhaps that’s he only real position.  Hes not a midfielder imv 

Or an AFL level talent.

Sandy slicker in front of goal. Casey 44 - 43.

[Dee-licious 1,949]

Moniz has so many possessions because he is running hard with the 1-2 and linking up. Sadly he isn’t the one who ends up kicking inside 50. Great half of footy. 
 

Seaston played Q1 inside 50 and now playing Trac/ANB roll of being around the contest and running forward in Q2 and being a difference maker. 
 

billings on the wing. Playing nice. Nothing to report, he’s a nice player. He can kick a football and run  

Laurie had a great Q1. He’s in and around, just not getting it (mainly as White is a man possessed in the centre). 
 

B Brown hasn’t really been targeted. 
 

Jeffo been looking really dangerous (just took another pack mark as I wrote this). He’s playing on a defender in Keelor who has been good today, but not a great defender. 
 

Kolt - fades in and out. Considering the number of first round picks out there, he’s certainly one of the best of them. 

Verrall is getting beaten but you can see he can play. 
 

Adams - he’s been ok. But someone needs to be Membry and if it was Tomlinson or Turner, they’d be on him. Adams isnt. So read into that as you will. 
 

k Brown - good Q2. Rotating mid, and forward.

Agree, but one can see you have no forwards present but they just kick without understanding they need to hold it up till the forwards get back it's just playing on for the sake of it, it's bad coaching full stop.

Yes agreed.  That's when you need to hit 45s or laterals.  Possibly even behind as a last resort if no other options.

As mentioned, many players miss this aspect for some reason and just blaze away regardless of what's in front.  Although some are under so much pressure they have little time to assess and they just have to dump kick.  Not ideal but its the nature of the game

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Great to see Valentine back.  He adds a bit of solidity to the back line imho.

Casey’s lack of poise costing them a semi-substantial lead.

We definitely seem to be playing a fast get it forward game at Casey. I don't mind it as a development game as it's sink or swim if you have the skills.

How you build in that last kick into 50 is a challenge with this style particularly if the side is bereft of fast moving/small forwards.

At least you can see the germ of an idea. I prefer it to the long kick boundary game of previous years as far as skill development goes

Absolutely DJ.  You hit the nail on the head with lack of mobile small / medium forwards to present and clean up.

Moniz is one of those options imho but doing very well at HB so far.  Bill the other of course
