Matthews gets his first goal for Casey. Nice little snap.

Tommy goals. 👏👏He is a ripper

Mathews looks a likely prospect down the track and will f nothing else he’ll help lift the membership numbers of teenage girls

Taylor has got some work to do

Melksham just took that set shot for goal right in front of me with his left foot. Questionable that he should even be out on the field if he can't kick with his right.

21 to 4 marks i50 is not great

Dogs 128 to Demons 86

casey very lucky that footscray have been inaccurate

i've only seen the last quarter but this has been an absolute cakewalk

very little pressure on their midfield going i50 and lots of casey turnovers from poorly executed kicking skills

Too many turnovers which is the story of the day. Dogs draw away to a 49 point lead.

milkshake can barely move out there with his sore knee

Melksham slots one in from the goal square and that’s the last score of the game.

hoe come dogs are allowed to have 30 players on the field and we can only have 18?

Sounds like a mixed day for X.Taylor in his first proper VFL match.

Did he not pick the pace of the game or was his disposal a bit off?

Rhett doesn't appear to have alot to work with going on this performance but one week does not a summer make and first game rust etc.

Should have a better idea see where we are at about Rnd 7 / 8.

Sestan would've been handy for mine (at Casey) just for a bit of depth, experience, intercept play and connection by foot on the exits.

Our D looked very shakey today but again, it's a first up game under a new coach.

stats...

Not disastrous, and add a few other f Jefferson, Kentfield, Johnson, McDonald, and suddenly you have more competitive talks, which is where we were lacking today

very true, but it won't help the complete lack of competitiveness through the midfield

based on the quarter i saw we couldn't win a clearance and put no pressure on them moving it i50

Positives: Heath AMW Berry

Negatives: Only Mentha Adams

Can someone elaborate on where Taylor needs to improve, what shortcomings he has?

For those who couldn't see the game

Can't see AMW playing VFL for too much longer, great to see him back

from the quarter i saw, nearly all his disposals came from returning the back from kick-ins

good stats, sure, but padded

No, he was involved, tough, fast and confident

Heath probably our only clear winner .Puzzling how Adams got another year -a nothing player .

Needs to add strength and his disposal is poor. his kicks are very loopy and will be picked off every time in the afl
