any chance the commentators could call Matthews by his name instead of calling him Marshall?

This could have something to do with it from the AFL site,

20	Sam Marshall

Cheffers scores a nice roving goal - 16 - 44.

mentha and kento too good for this league. white struggling so far to be expected really

Another roving goal to Cheffers followed by a miss from Scapin. 23 - 44.

Young Marshall with his first

lol

We're back baby!

Matthews reads the ball beautifully and it’s now a 15 point deficit.

Vintage T-Mac around the arc today and a lovely intercept pack mark there.

Do the commentators know something we don’t, as they’re concerned about what happened to the ‘Casey’ Demons when they move to Caulfield

Also not sure why MonizWakefield hasn’t come on,they’re blissfully unaware he’s missed a year of football 🤦‍♂️

Brisbane Lions can’t miss 50 - 29.

43 has missed at least 2 very clear high tackles against us so far (1st Q) and him & mates giving alot of tiggy touchwoods to Brisvegas on the other side.

Moniz & Mentha getting alot of it. If Moniz can clean up the finish and finesse a little when he's closer to the forward 50 (not alone) he'll be very handy at AFL level at some point.

Yep. Didn't do their homework on that

The Lions are deadly in front of goals. Casey less so. 56 - 29.

And so it goes … Casey making plenty of errors.

huge pack mark to adams across half back

of course, he immediately turned it straight over by foot...

Wow...Brissy players just running through the protected zone with zero ramifications from the umps

This is the year to clean up parts of his game surely? Been in the system for a while now.

he just looks so slow by thought as much as deed - his positioning is routinely poor, he doesn't react to the game situation, and his disposal is not good at vfl level, so can't imagine it'll improve at afl level

he looks a long way off it

Shades of Melbourne's AFL performance last week. Playing a lowly side that hasn't had a win yet and they are playing the slow game out of defence and scoring goals every time thye pull the trigger. It will be interesting to see whether Fagan plays the same game in the AFL match later today.

It's going to be a long year for Casey. Nothing in the midfield, bit hard to ask Kentfield to do everything up forward and the backline is leaking goals. Impressed with Mentha his best game for the club so far. The rest have been ordinary.

tommy matthews / marshall has been ragdolled at least three times - bears' tacklers are able to just pick him up and fling him around he is so lightly framed

Ah-Mu takes a strong pack mark and goals.

ah-mu kicks his first (not that i saw it; the stream keeps freezing then jumping forward by about 30 seconds)
