Amazing last quarter.

Turnovers disappeared and we simply bludgeoned the ball forward.

When you would expect JVR and Jeffo to cash in it was everyone else.

As a useful development game... 6.5/10. Would have got closer to 8 but for the never ending turnovers in the first three quarters.

Unfortunately Tholstrup was middling but I'll keep an eye on Culley over the next few weeks.

Might drop into Vic Park for next week's game.

if i was doing votes, based on the 3 and a bit quarters i watched, i'd go:

6: billings
5: campbell
4: jefferson
3: baldi
2: bonner
1: culley

and the rest of the mfc players who i thought played well were van rooyen, sestan, howes, tholstrup, and mentha

Sydney losing by 87 points and have 3 of the top 4 goal scorers on the park

Pretty sure that would have never happened before

Also they kicked 9 goals with only 3 scorers. never seen that either

Literally a trivial post

A bigger disappointment would be seeing him in the seniors. We need to move beyond those who can't finish.

 

Casey basking in the warm winter Sydney sun. Surrounded by Port Jackson Figs at the picturesque Tramways Oval . Which appears to be redolent of the ‘convict’ built style. With a considerable tonnage of gray Grollo concrete thrown in. Multiple freeways in the background.

Turf of course would be a mix of Kikuyu with a sprinkling of Buffalo [censored] and Couch grass thrown. Ball bounce was magnificent.

Thank you ball girls and boys. Smithy's commentators and the camera person. Kudos to the greenskeeper. The Sun really shone thru. Casey you were a revelation.

EL JEFFO CANTINA Another 5 goals after 5 last week, well well well.

A very strong game Mr Fence.

The next two weeks are very important for young Matt. Needs to continue showing a physical style of game. Casey really need a small forward to assist in his development

My guess is that JVR will be the first to get the call up.

Petty staying forward is the main cause of the log jam.

depends on the role i would think

jvr gets much further up the ground (like petty, fritsch) as a leading chf whereas el jefe plays closer to goal (like melksham, aj / gawn when stationed forward)

can't remember jvr having a run in the ruck but he was credited with one hit out, and i would think if he was coming in it would be to replace johnson as that key target / occasional ruck relief role

I thought he was very good today in his work rate, clean hands and quality kicking. I am still unsure how he fits at AFL intensity but if he keeps presenting and making most of chances like he did today he could well develop an AFL career.

I'm enjoying the Camera work which at least is authentic 'Shaky Cam' vs the fake post production shaky cam (cinema verite) we often see.

Sun stars and flare were a highlight late in the game

Yep, back to back solid games with good intensity.

Times his leads super well.

That last quarter was what we should be doing more often.

That’s what happens when we don’t turn it over all the time. 11.2–0.2 last quarter, not bad.

How’s Culley’s disposal?

20 disposals 13 kicks 7 handballs at 80% efficiency add 6 marks 4 tackles 2 goals

At the moment JVR's best is definitely better than AJ and Jefferson. He has to fix whatever is holding him back quickly.

JVR is a riddle.When he goes for marks two handed he can clunk them .Why then does he consistently go for them one handed ,even at VFL level ?

He seems to be getting unbalanced before he goes for the ball. Sometimes it’s the opposition just pushing on one side. Verrall is also having the same problem.

They are both misjudging slightly and getting stuck under the ball too much. Could be as simple as playing less with their phones/screens?

Disposal efficiency surprised me there. Still don’t quite believe it. Looked more like a blunt force instrument rather than a scythe.

Didn't see the game but 8 marks for JVR is a very good sign. Hopefully he is building some confidence.

Would love to see more stats like this from Culley next few weeks.

Yes DS17 Jai Culley surprised me too.

Positive signs of cleaning up the field disposal and the goal kicking. Has some assets with his height and strength as you allude too. Marking, mobility and awareness are there.

The elusive wriggle gathering the ball in play and the foot pass to young Sruk inside the F50 was a highlight. Beginning to see how he got the Rising Star nod out West.

I just feel that if Laurie can’t prove his worth at AFL level it will be Culley who gets the next shot. I love his size, finals and big games love a big strong body and he has that. Going to be an interesting watch.

Has Cullen got any speed?

From what I have heard but not seen myself, that might be his issue. He seems to have all the other tools.

Not super quick but appears good by foot, I imagine he can break a tackle. Are Sparrow, Langford, Petracca and Oliver quick?

  • 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.

    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?
