Casey had another disappointing thrashing at the hands of GWS. Best players were Bonner, Sestan and Laurie. Possible line up for their match up against Richmond next Thursday morning.

B: Smith, Adams, Bonner

HB: Sestan, Kentfield, Woewodin

C: Billings, Laurie, Brown

HF: Henderson, Johnson, Mentha

F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Jefferson

FOLL: Campbell, Culley, Hardie

IC: Verrall, Cross, George, Kirkwood-Scott, Yze

Normally you would think that forward line of Fritz, JVR , Jefferson would kick a bag full each but they are in so bad form like today they will struggle to get one between them.

16 AFL-listed - great to see. I guess one will come out as a carryover for tonight's game?

A distinctive 'chill' up here in the air this morning as I walked outside.

The Dry Season is with us.

Boil the kettle, get out the teapot, pop in the tea leaves.

If i was still in Melbourne add the tea cozy.

Allow 2-3 minutes for the tea to seep, using a tea strainer

pour out the tea into your favourite cup with saucer of course.

Cut a nice slice of cake (gluten free preferred) and settle down in

front of the telly.

Out come the Casey Demons young and old to face the tigers.

Wipe the dew of the Sherrin and let the game commence.

Casey against the wind first 5 minutes Campbell Culley prominent. 1 behind a piece.

Sestan and Adams going Ok in defence. Laurie getting well. AJ goal!

Too easy too soft (free) tiggers goal.

Verrall showing some ruck craft at the centre bounce.

Breeze making it hard to get much of a read on things.

Culley getting in and under.

Casey importantly getting their hands on the ball. Playing with some cohesion.

JVR needs to swallow those marks. Dropped a pudding. Btw that wind looks fierce.

Aiden Johnson getting involved.

Needs to get in front with soft hands.

JVR good grab!

JVR has dropped 3 marks which despite the breeze, he should've taken as he got good hands on them all and simply dropped the pies. Howling gale blowing into the pocket, Casey holding up well at this stage and agree Johnson started well!

The wind at Casey destroys the game and makes it inappropriate as an AFL training ground. I am not sure that Caulfield would be any different. The solution needs to be a MCG sized ground with protection from the wind.

Tiggers bloke up before acceptances not a realistic attempt play on?

I don’t understand the reasoning behind playing Jefferson behind the ball. He was brought into the seniors as a forward yet he finds himself in the backline in his return from injury 🤷‍♂️

Conditions look exceptionally tough. Casey have done well against the breeze, hopefully our forwards will get an easier look in the second quarter. Most players playing well.

Bonner & Baldi playing well. Mentha showing a bit of dash and the back line with Howes and Adams held up well. The breeze will make it a bit of a raffle, it's almost so strong that even kicking with it may not be as advantageous as you'd normally associate as it is pushing into the pocket and making all kicks skew that way and tough to hit targets under any pressure.

JEFFO! Well judged mark at CHB.

Casey appear to have regained their modus operandi. Linking together well and retaining possession.

“Breeze” is blowing briskly to the left side of the screen. This Qt. with the wind.

JVR needs to take those grabs before he gets back into seniors I reckon.

Who is this Riley Bonner?? He was huge in last Casey game and already pretty involved today. I know nothing about him...is he new to the Casey list?

Second Qt underway 3 goal breeze according to the pundits.
