currently unwatchable. A big bodied ruck from a suburban team dominating and too strong for Verral or Fullerton. Methinks Fullerton spends too much time compiling and he doesn't appear to like body contact. The mid field is deplorable. Today we are way too slow. Laurie, Brown are too small and slow hence the opp speedy mid has umpteen clearance 21 kicks and has run them off their feet.

Coburg switch play at every opportunity  and continually run the ball down one side of the ground unopposed. they run hard, tackle harder and will have a big win.

the only positive is Jefferson marking and tackling the rest of the forwards are getting frost bite as the ball rarely enters the forward line. Casey look right off today

[MrFreeze 1,965]

Smashed at clearance 

No chase or smart defensive  positioning to slow down their d50 exit 

Big focus on territory, forward half turn over and clearance from the coaches box

I know it's difficult to retain players but a strong  Casey outfit has been the bedrock of our success in recent years. Young players greatly benefit from being in competitive and successful VFL teams. This apparently is no longer a priority . Regardless of any comeback to be touched up by a lowly Coburg with its own injury concerns is embarrassing and concerning.

[Wrecker46 2,977]

How did the Gentile not get picked in the mid season draft?

May as well be watching Warner out there.

[kozzyisalegend 152]

Thoughts so far

Fullerton: really needs to be more physically, strange recruitment decision IMO as getting taught a lesson by a local ruckman

Tholstrup: love his physicality, but his positioning is really poor and quite underwhelming for a 1st round pick

Jefferson: love how he plays in front and applies pressure, just needs to convert

Brown: needs to find more of it and hit the gym

Laurie: needs to clean up his disposal as he has no trouble finding the pill

Adams: barely sighted 

Howes: needs to show more intensity. Loves jogging half paced

Moniz Wakefield: not a defender. Should be in the fwd line

Sestan: very disappointing for a guy almost in the 1s. His second efforts are poor

Also a bit confused why luker isn't playing ? Assume he's injured as it's not great for development just letting him sit out of games

The club would rather take an 18 year old averaging 9 touches a game with potential, than a ready to go midfielder absolutely tearing it up

[DiscoStu17 731]

This has gone on long enough.

I would spend the first 10 minutes of half time getting the midfielders doing sprints across the centre square. Maybe some ground pick ups and handballs both sides just to see their hands are working.

The Experiment with Fullarton starting in ruck needs to stop and he should be HFF. Even if he hits it, he doesn’t know where it’s going.

literally got drafted three days ago, from wa - has he even moved across yet?

tholstrup loves a tackle; means he's second to the ball a lot

Most of the draftees I've seen get a flight the next day. So he should have been here Thursday

Just an average player made to look good by a total lack of defensive intent.

He could be at the game, or trying to sort out accommodation.

Already staying with tholstrup. They sort all this stuff out pre draft

[MrFreeze 1,965]

Fullarton ginger, 'my shoulders sublexed'

[Tarax Club 3,909]

Momentum has swung? AMZ 15 disposals.

[Tarax Club 3,909]

Hallelujah holding the ball decision correctly paid.

[KC from Casey 7,064]

Nice goal to Sestan

[Maldonboy38 6,402]

Much better intensity from Casey. Jefferson and Kolstrup working hard and in everything up forward. Again, finishing and composure still a concern.

[whatwhat say what 22,749]

jefferson busy i50 but his field kicking has twice let him down - checkside on the right cos he's got no left foot was particularly poor

[MrFreeze 1,965]

Jeffo,  just needed to finish his work, great run and fend off for the big man
