And now the deluge. Like how Roy George gets his hands free and delivers a decent hand ball.

It’s a slog but Luker Kentfield scores the first goal of the second half at the 9 minute mark.

Big Luker nice goal.

Jed Adams delivers a good old fashioned bump.

Casey getting killed in the midfield.
 

in fact, apart from Mitch White and Roan Steele, most of the Casey listed players are suburban footballers.   Poor recruiting getting exposed.  
 

Also the loss of Hustwaite and Leo Connolly really hurts, as they were the main off season recruits.  They’ve missed 10 weeks of footy. No news at all on their possible returns. 
 

 

Absolutely persisting down with rain. Hard to watch, but even in these conditions Casey often second to the ball. 

Howes deliberate out of bounds.  Ridiculous.  Fumbles ball. It goes out.  Frankston played appeals and ump gives it.  Shows how BAD umpiring has become.  Easily conned.  Easily influenced.  No idea of actually playing footy. Umps clearly favouring dolphins.  

Might be confused a bit just watched a big of the rain.  Is it Adam’s or Vettel who play with a big of aggression in the ruck 

seems a bit rough round the edges but better than some

Deflating goal against the tide to the Dolphins.

Ugly game.

Kentfield giving away stupid free kicks with clear in the back shoves. However I do enjoy his aggressive nature, when the Frankston player tried to wrestle him to the ground Kentfield absolutely dominated him and held his position on top with a few shoves into the turf. Shame that that's probably the highlight of the game apart from kynans tackling.

Is that the socially acceptable form of the verb MB38?

So was that Kentfield having the push and shove. Yes good strong assertive stuff

The penny dropped with me this week.

It's the camera height angles that make VFL look so congested by comparison to AFL. That being said the VFL is still becoming a crowded product full of massive packs.

Tholstrup is a good example. In the VFL in recent weeks he rarely found space but at AFL level he does.

Definitely time to reduce the number of players on field to 16 at VFL level

Now aquaplaning out there get out your water wings kids.

I see what you mean Nascent there were 4 Casey players named as emergencies, must have been a communication break down.

Well it is VFL - a very poorly run and administered excuse for an AFL development and support organisation.

Thanks.  Hopefully there is nobody quite as impartial as Michael Christian deciding these things.

Not sure if I have ever watched such a boring game.

Lost in the first two quarters and then a mistake filled second half.

Hope the showers are hot

Those players will be well and truely stuffed after that game.  I used to hate those conditions water every where and the opposite side trains in them.  So handles it do much better

AFL level consequences can ‘apparently’ apply to AFL listed players in the VFL competition.
