    Good: Fullerton around the ground, Seaston through packs, Howes sure hands and kicking, Pup’s intensity, BBB all around game, Woey’s class. 
     

    Frustrating: Billings and Laurie who are much better players than they are showing today. 
     

    Tomlinson is not as dominant (conditions? Game plan of Dons?), Hore is finding his feet again, Schache not gelling with the backline yet, young KPP - not a day for them. 
     

    mcAdam is out there, but not having an impact.

    Just a rest is my guess. Casey have way too many talls especially for a wet day

    Those who suggest he is being rested as a prelude to a debut next week - are you serious?  A week away and needs another showing of his wares.

    McAdam doesn't seem to have a ground game. Also lacks positioning sense from what I have seen

    So what does he have, other than a contract?

    If you are looking for a ruckman for next week, there isn’t one. But Fullerton is doing plenty around the ground. 

    Not all ruck-work is tapping - around the ground possessions and contests are just as important.

    Fullerton has a modest physical presence at the moment. Lacks bulk and importantly, lacks agro. Such that he’d not be a better option than who we played in ruck last night.

    How does it compare to Pettys lack of presence?

    I am streaming but no sound. Anyone with same problem.

    Based on last weeks 'commentary' reviews, is no sound that much of a problem?

    Ben Brown running around freely. Jed Adams good mark.

    Yes but Fullarton was recruited primarily as a back up ruck to Gawn. He is a mile off it. As a ruck rover type he has been good so far today but that is a bit of an outlier. JVR and Petty are stronger in the ruck than him.

    ben brown marks everything but they transition it from his kick that fell just short with zero pressure on the ball carrier for a soda of a goal

    at this stage he'd by heading to perth next week for mine

     gah, this is why i don't rate tomlinson - he just got out-marked 1:1 by a bloke about 20cm smaller and 15kg lighter than him

    his body positioning under the high ball is routinely dreadful

    Kentfield has done nothing. After watching this game I now know why we went last night without a reserve ruckman. A poor lot by any measure.

    Perhaps if we're out of the running in a few weeks I'd like to see Laurie get a run of games.  Very consistent at this level and knows where the goals are. Replace Sparrow.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
