Sharks lead 27 - 26.

Dees are dominating but not on the scoreboard.

Lever looks to be playing well.

Howes is going well also.

JVR has played well but has missed two long shots and is a very good VFL forward. (But I maintain he will be better as a defender in the AFL.)

Jefferson has one goal (after nearly dropping the uncontested mark) and missed a earlier set shot and another one kicked into the man on the mark. He is a dopey footballer.

Tholstrup just had his first kick and has been invisible.

Casey 32
Southport 27

Is it just my dodgy internet or is anyone else having issues with the broadcast?

Best game I’ve seen from Adams

Mitch Hardie old fashioned quality disposal. Ollie Sestan getting leather poisoning. Jed Adams good judgement of the ball in flight.

That play made him very visible not a hair is out of place

So much lateral movement by Casey. Problem is they leave plenty of time for Southport to get back

all of our defenders look better when lever is on the ground with them

he's just such a 'presence' in the defensive set up

HT Casey Demons 4.9.33 holds a 5 point lead over Southport 4.4.28

Goals Cross Hardie Jefferson van Rooyen

Disposals Hardie Howes 17 Bonner 11

Adams and Kentfield will both be good AFL level defenders with time.

Sestan surely must get a look in at AFL level at a point to see how he translates up a level.

JVR doing more to get on the move and play in front and is marking well with softer hands.

Howes is doing what he always does at this level and dominating but he is just one of those tweeners where it doesn’t quite translate at the top.

Sestan, Howes and Adams all having good games. With Jake due to go off after half a game. Will watch Second half efforts with interest.

Lever 👍🏻 (and JV7) back next week.

Laurie and Fullarton are travelling emergencies. Dees always take two extra passengers on the interstate trips.

I think Blake has been pretty unlucky at the top level this year. He hasn't struggled IMV, but he hasn't had huge impact and there are other defenders ahead him.

I just wonder if they need to try him on the wing or at half forward where he played his junior footy.

I reckon we're gonna be alright for tall defenders, which will enable us to play Turner and probably Petty forward long term.

Should be 4 goals up. Dees need to nail their chances. Sound familiar???.

Just the usual Smithy’s quality blurry occasionally but comes back into focus. Camera work is generally acceptable though.

100 odd AFL fantasy points at half time is not too shabby.

4 goals 12

sigh

edit: blink and you miss another shot at goal

4.13 🤮

Umpiring is reliably inconsistent back to the AFL amateur standard.

And yet another miss !!!

Billings blazes away balefully miss #5

I’m sorry but for the love of god can someone tell Van Rooyan to use 2 hands to mark a football. Whoever is coaching him has what should be a very simple issue to solve - use 2 f$&ing hands.

It’s driving me insane watching this Casey game with him trying to do the same one handed mark attempt and dropping it again and again…
