Aside from Moniz there's very little speed by foot in this side atm

Edited June 1, 20241 yr by Demon Dynasty

This is as poor a performance from Casey that we have witnessed for quite a while.

VFL umpires didn’t receive the email re HTB this week?

Howes not getting too close to Corleone.

Doesn’t want to wake up to a horses head in the bed?

 AMW fend off releasing handball sets up Casey goal.

What an utterly woeful performance against a lowly stand alone VFL club. Jefferson showed some promise. I'll leave it at that.

Very poor disposal too today. Please do not be deceived by the Stats sheet

Lies, Damm lies and statistics…

Frees Casey 21 v Coburg 18 

Howes, Tholstrup, AMW and Laurie the better performed MFC boys

AMW watch; 27 disposals at 75.9%, 8 intercepts possies, 7 marks, 3 tackles. Appeared to be sharing kick out duties with Blake Howes.

Mitch White best Casey player.

We have a small forward crumbing goal sneak who brings some pressure i50 but we prefer to use him down back 100% of time this season for some reason.   I'm still not sure why given we have no quality smalls.

And pls don't throw Neocleous in there.  Guy can barely kick over a barn door

i personally think amw offers a lot more coming off half back than he did in previous seasons as a forward

when deployed as a forward he never applied anywhere enough defensive pressure

at least as a half back rebounder he's providing plenty of overlap run

Hard to get a handle on VFL form given where Casey is as a team.

Coburg kicked 6 goals in the 2nd quarter when Fullerton was “ rucking”. At least They only got one when Verrall was doing the job.!!!

Agree George.  It's depressing seeing Verrall & Fullerton getting consistently beaten in the VFL by "good ordinary" VFL standard ruckmen.

Heaven help us if Max gets injured.

Wow that was painful to watch.Howes the only one who looked a class above this comp although having said that he was loose and his disposal problematic.Heaven help us if Max goes down unless we can grab a ruck from Doutta Stars or South Morang . Tholstrup battled hard but for a first rounder and 2 seconds you would nearly expect Harley Reid .And he aint that. Jeffo showed a bit but faded out which has been his pattern for most of the year .Mitch White is head and shoulders above any other Casey team member.

Belated but another disappointing performance from Casey.

Still a long way to go in his development but I've enjoyed Adams intercept marks the past couple of weeks. Looks like he's growing in confidence somewhat.

Surely flyn gentile would've been a great mid season pick up for us

21 years old

Vice captain

State team

Averaging 27 touches

43 possies and 2.0 today

Would be ready made to come into the afl team tomorrow. Don't understand why we picked a guy averaging 10 possies and 7 hit outs a game when there's these vfl superstars up for grabs

i really don't see him as being ready-made to come into our midfield at afl level in place of petracca, oliver, viney, sparrow, anb, or pickett

he sure can win a lot of the footy tho

Having watched a fair bit of that game I can say I now understand why we have picked a KPF/ some time ruckman. Those prospects are not it. Max was playing at senior level at their stage of development. 

What’s the good word on AMW? he gets a lot of it but how are his positioning, tackling and decision making? they are the things that will get him a gig in the ones

could he realistically take someone’s place on the HB line, if so, who’s spot. 

thanks in advance for the insights

If bailey Laurie and tholstrup can get games, gentile surely can. He made them look like D graders today

yep they are on afl lists and he's been ignored in three straight drafts

This.

Coburg were playing for each other. Enthusistic and up for a fight. I went to their huddle at 3/4 time because i was over Casey and they were imploring each other to celebrate goals and get around each other in moments that count.

Besides Kolt we were a team of individuals with little care for our teamates. I mean that in a team spirit way. AMW and Jeffo showed enough to give hope.

Very dissapointing. 

I'd be more positive if Gentile was on our list. Gave Laurie a footballing lesson.

I watched Casey for the first time live in years and had read AMW's stats get inflated because he keeps playing on from kickouts. He did get a few cheap kicks but i thought he was clean and showed a bit. Hard to judge how damaging he is off one game when were woeful but he made some good decisions and looks promising. I can see him slotting in at AFL level and fitting in
