9 tackles for the Kolt.... surely he gets another call up to try and add some pressure in the forward half this week?

I know everyone is getting stuck into Fullarton and I didn't watch the whole game, but would we be better if he played second ruck to allow JVR to only play at full forward?

Whilst I think koltyn has to come in, he really didn't have an afl standard game in the 2s on the weekend. The disappointing thing has been at casey all year no one is pushing for recall

    While I don't think anyone is really pushing for inclusion in the ones, I didnt think Fullartons game was as bad as has been made out.  He lead well and kicked well for 2 goals which was how he came to the club, not necessarily as a ruck, but a forward. He couldn't do much worse than Petty up forward and Fullarton is supposedly an actual forward player. Casey put out what appeared to be a very young side and while White tried hard, Coburg appeared much more organised, fitter and certainly faster around stoppages.  The Kolt tried and tackled hard all day but wasn't able to impose himself. Jefferson did well I thought and seems to be growing in confidence in himself and ability. He could have had 4 again but a couple of wayward shots (one after a great run and fend off on the boundary)  undid some of his work. He needs to get stronger but he appears to be improving.  Verall I don't think will be tall enough to take the number one ruck from Max so we really need someone there.  The rest were a bit average. Mids were too small and not fast enough to break away from stoppages. A very disappointing result and effort from Casey.

    Agree... As I mentioned in this thread... following his one game at AFL level he seems to have plateaued at a VFL level I would best describe as competent but unexciting

    Have to disagree re Sestan. He's played one good half in the last month of footy and has been wildly inconsistent within games in my view. Tholstrup and yes, even Laurie, have been playing much better footy than he has.

    True, but as his ability to run the required repeat distances improves. It should allow him to get to more contests or ahead of contested ball situations. Seen a few glimpses of his tool kit. Kicks a very handy snap goal when the opportunity presents itself. During his performance against Port Melbourne at Frankston. Young Ollie displayed a lovely 'step' around and through opponents at centre bounce contests. Winning the ball and delivering it effectively into the forward zone. Or kicking a mighty barrel goal as he did against the tiggers at Punt Rd. IMO a natural footballer, with a potentially much higher ceiling than others running around at Casey at the moment. With improved fitness you'd expect his consistency to improve too.

    Agree with this but there's also a 'want' and 'effort' factor here.  You can't pick and choose when to go, even at VFL level.

    That assumes of course that you want to take the next step up!

    It's those second / third consecutive efforts, one percenters, tackles - pressure and gut running/multiple sprints that may get you noticed.... along with the other aspects you spoke of with ball in hand.

    While you aren't expecting a massive running machine from Sesto given his HF preference / role, you do need to see him on his bike a little more often and hitting in at the contest a bit more when it's his turn to go.  He does do it.  He does show it at times don't get me wrong.  He's def had some special moments.  But he really needs to start turning up the wick IMHO if he's going to make it.

    If he does, i also agree that his ceiling is potentially much higher than many at Casey.  But as the old adage goes, talent will only get you so far in this game.

    I hope the coaches have pressed this with him and shown him some highlights and maybe a few low lights so that he can see the light and that he isn't that far away, but is also potentially a mile away IF he doesn't get on his bike from here.

    No one hands you these opportunities at this level, you have to go out and take it.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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

      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.
