    hard to tell on the stream, but it really looked like a lot of the casey players were running in quicksand that quarter

    i am fearful of a sluggish 'loading' game in mfc's immediate future

    Well the system certainly broke down that quarter.

    Handball chains that couldn't break free or went backwards allowing ample time for Swans to go forward.

    Kicks via the boundary line with up and under kicks into the forward line

    Swans are flooding back which is making it particularly difficult to achieve any rebound plus Swans are entering on our countless turnovers which makes defending a nightmare

    Havent been able to watch the first half so cheers for the info everyone.

    From an opposition perspective it's interesting to see Florent in the reserves. He seemed a solid 22 lock prior to this season and contracted until 2029 I believe.

    Jesse Dattoli looked super impressive in his draft year as a half-forward with stints on ball. Strong competative player for his size and excellent overhead game. I see he's amongst the goals. Northern Knights boy so maybe one to keep on the radar if he gets home sick.

    The umpire whistles coming through the effects mic from the surrounding grounds is bloody annoying.

    I'm not watching it, but can anyone tell me, are we trying to play the same style as the AFL team? Surely...

    Sme whistle is annoying. I thought it sounded like the audio of the umps whistle was coming through earlier than the video and the commentators coming later than both. If so, quite an achievement.

    I dunno if he has the ‘smarts’ around the footy to play the role

    He reads the play well and impacts aerially from a spoil / intercept perspective

    He seems to operate in straight lines as opposed to making intelligent decisions in the moment, particularly when it comes to with ball in hand

    Yes we are but at VFL level the packs are often more crowded making it harder to break lines. Some of the players eg Tholstrup might be better trying to break a line and then handball rather than handballing at first instance.

    Also we kick laterally instead of at 45 degrees allowing opposition to flood back.

    All that aside it's promising

    Jai Culley’s most impressive performance thus far in red and blue.

    Ollie Florentino looks a class above and has the AFL physique to go with it. Cunningham is another regular who is returning after a long injury lay-off. Dattoli looks every bit a quality first rounder will rebound to first no doubt.

    Agree it's an audio issue with the ground set up.

    Nice to know that there's a mark before a player kicks the ball

    jvr very strong to get the separation and then double lead for the mark i50 but his kicking is letting him down quite a bit - actually true of the whole of the casey side; their disposal really letting them down

    el jefe seems to be one of those forwards who has a knack for earning a free kick i50 - he now has 3 goals 1

    billings is absolutely racking it up, playing that classic gut-running wing role and getting a heap of ball running the lines

    So many missed marks and unforced errors. A lot of lazy football. TMac having a mare. Kolton has pretty ordinary skills. Jeff’o and Roo the main positives

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
