A terrible first 5 minutes, and then it was Travaglia and Dow against the Demons. Kolt with 4 clearances, 9 touches and a goal the standout. Hardie making VFL look too easy - he gets into so much space. Campbell dominating in the ruck, and El Jeffe coming alive. They keep saying he dropped 2 chest marks - he was lucky to make it to the first (it was a terrible kick), the second he should have taken. Billings and Bonner also good. Kentfield's contested mark was probably the best piece of play all day.

Tholstrup, Billings, Jeffo, Laurie, Sharp playing well so far. Kentfield had a nice contested grab early, think we've found one there. Needs a pre-season. Johnson limited touches but looking like a strong presence and attracts the long ball to his direction. Campbell solid as always in the ruck.

Hardie a fantastic player from the Casey boys.

Haven't seen Kalani yet.

Good response from Kolt. Would have 7 or 8 touches, two big game changing tackles and a goal.

Interesting though watching him at CBs - he clearly needs coaching about how to get on the move and when. Can ball watch a little. To be fair, I don't think he was ever a permanent midfielder as a junior. I think the club know he's coming from a way back and have taken a very long term punt on what he could be with proper coaching and fitness paired with his power, frame and character.

Jeffo dropped a couple of uncontested ones (again!) but he is showing good defensive intent and covering the ground well. He and Kentfield look good together...honestly it's probably better than the AFL forward line. Hardie is a weapon

Good take on Tholstrup.

Paddy Dow was able to get away fairly easily from him purely because he was stagnant and flat footed.

As you say, needs to keep on the move around stoppages.

Other then that he had a solid quarter.

Great start for the Demons.

Does anyone know if Jack Behnk from St Bedes in the Ammos who had a game or two last year is still on Casey’s list? I saw him kick 11 goals yesterday in a high standard game against AJAX. Both teams in the top four in C Section. The kid looks a real prospect.

Jeffo great contested mark against cordy, lucky to get the 50 after his handball was smothered. Misses the set shot.

Pretty sure that he’s on the list. Will do a quick check.

Jeffo's leading has been fantastic so far. Notice how the Casey side are lowering their eyes?!

Laurie finds top 5 draft hopeful duursma on the angle kick who lasers a kick to Jeffo who takes another strong mark, misses his 2nd this quarter.

Laurie strolls in for his first for the day.

Yes, he’s on the list and I hope the club’s onto it.

Kalani with his first touch of the day, marking it on the wing. Billings bursts through the 50 evading a couple opponents and converts the goal. Billings looking sharp in front of goal recently

Billings kicks another and Casey have now kicked 10.3.

Billings boots his second - this has all the hallmarks of last week. Just waiting for AJ and Luker to get among the goals.

Is the Rigoni getting the ball in Sandy's backline related to our Guy?

Kynan Brown getting busy this quarter, misses to the left on that set shot.

He better not be, otherwise I'd be angry he isnt playing for us. I love hearing him get the ball!

Kentfield looks awesome in the air, floats across the front of the pack to take a solid grab 10 metres out directly in front, converts the set shot.

Kentfield takes a commanding mark over the pack and slots his first.

The procession continues

Luker Kentfield. He’s a player. Put it down. 👏👏👏

Jeffo with another smother and snaps 35 out hitting the post.

Jed Adams had some nice moments in Q2, still needs to bulk up but he has a nice leap and is quite fast for his size

Tholstrup, Laurie and Sharp less prominent in that quarter.

Billings continuing his white hot form and is everywhere.

Adams looking solid in defence, mentha a few touches and looks a smooth mover but some targets missed.

Jefferson presenting strongly and defending the ground ball with intent. Missed a couple of opportunities which could have seen him with 5 goals to half time. Goes in with 2.3

Kalani a few nice touches but otherwise not overly involved, probably on limited minutes compared to most and is in a stacked forward line of Johnson, Jefferson, kentfield

Duursma kid can kick

Half Time and it’s a stroll in the park for the Dees!
