  1. Jones - an outstanding game Hogan - prolific and valuable Harmes - continued great form Garlett - enjoyed the freedom Oliver - best afield again Petracca - regularly outmanoeuvred opponents Neal- Bullen - hard ball gets Spargo - did just enough Brayshaw - dynamic and creative Salem - safe and steady T.McDonald - was surprisingly limited Fritsch - continues to impress VanDenBerg - finding his feet Frost - confident and convincing Gawn - not his best Jetta - impressive when required Kennedy - Harris - a borderline pass Lewis - a standard game O.McDonald - was rarely required Smith - history repeats itself Tyson - impressive ,rarely wasteful Vince - was never assured
  2. 6 - Oliver ( possibly his best game for the club ) 5 - Gawn ( dominated the centre ) 4 - Harmes ( continued his impressive tagging role ) 3 - Petracca ( used the ball beautifully and often ) 2 - Brayshaw ( some important possessions and impressive gut running) 1 - T. McDonald ( was always a presence )
  3. Jones - better on ball T.McDonald - had a presence Melksham - a limited impact Fritsch - versatile and smart Lewis - steady all game Garlett - just some cameos Kennedy-Harris - justified his place Neal-Bullen - run and pressure Hogan - very little involvement Harmes - wonderful tagging game Petracca - continued improved involvement Tyson - had a go Brayshaw - becoming a gun Frost - confident and important Gawn - set the tone Jetta - was rarely sighted O.McDonald - fortunately rarely required Oliver - a class above Salem - important but iffy Smith - some important touches Spargo - tried but overwhelmed Vince - just a game
  4. Seriously, if all the talk pre season and during season about ‘hurting’ after last year’s debacles and last week’s heartbreaking loss, doesn’t amount to a life or death performance tonight, nothing EVER will
  5. Stupid idea to move Hogan to defense this late into the season.. he wouldn’t have a clue about manning up nor being accountable.
  6. It’s the leggy blonde bit that’s surprising
  7. 3AW Rumour File No names mentioned but a report this morning that a certain midfielder who left training early with a quad strain was sighted not long later at the new Mission Impossible movie with a leggy blonde?
  8. Fwiw , a few years ago I left the Cattery early after another obvious loss was looming and I provided some sort of retribution for myself by adhering some Demon stickers to cars that were obviously owned by opposition supporters.
  9. Why don’t YOU give us all the benefit of your totally cool, calm and rational 3 word analysis?
  10. Jones - becoming a liability Jetta - little to commend O.McDonald - was comprehensively destroyed Smith - has limited skills Lewis - slow but important Vince - a momentum killer Frost - some impressive touches Fritsch - needed more urgency Gawn - had limited impact Oliver - prolific but tired Brayshaw - sacrificed to tag Harmes - wonderful tagging game Hogan - gave us little T. McDonald - always looked dangerous Spargo - disappeared second half Garlett - disappeared whole game Neal Bullen - just lacks class Kennedy Harris - out of depth Melksham - was hardly sighted Petracca - was almost terrific Tyson - never play again Salem - just a game
  11. The conspiracy theorists will be out and about if Razor Ray umpires and hands out the first free of the day to his best mate Brayshaw
  12. I was at the game and watched the full replay twice, and I don’t retreat from my initial description of his performance. And for whomever it was that claimed I have an anti OMac bias, I think you’ll find that more often than not, I give him positive reviews .
  13. Except he was taken apart by his opponent who took a team high 8 marks against him, which was 1 less than Hogan took in a forward line that was inundated with entries
  14. Definitely what I saw. There was an obvious exponential will to take the game on quicker and more directly, from my observations
  15. Jones - not his best Hogan - great second half T.McDonald - versatile and important Garlett - clever but limited Neal-Bullen - scoreboard pressure only Spargo - energy and anticipation Hannan - little to excite Lewis - some important touches Melksham - better second half Oliver - genius at work Petracca - quicker ball delivery Fritsch - rarely wastes possessions Vince - played his part Brayshaw - career best game Frost - confident and strong Gawn - dominated the air Harmes - playing important roles Hibberd - safe and important Jetta - was rarely sighted Kennedy -Harris - deserves another game O.McDonald - loose and unconvincing Salem - rebounded with aplomb
  16. Out : Smith In : Baker
  17. Probably not in the best today but Baker is easily our most exciting talent at Casey... he’s going to be a fan favourite sooner than later.
  18. The only issue in dropping him is that there are many others who are less value to the team and equally as unproductive: Hannan, Neal Bullen,Vince, Tyson, etc, etc. Where do you draw the line?
  19. joeboy replied to a post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I’m pretty sure our ‘saviour’ Jackson left Essendon under acrimonious circumstances... that obviously didn’t impinge on the results he’s achieved with us
  20. Fritsch<>Brad Green - both left footers - both strong overhead - both mercurial around goals - both have meticulously groomed hair
  21. I believe McCartin will suffer from the same syndrome our own John Fidge did about 30 years back. He came to us as a man-mountain of a 17 year old who'd dominated schoolboy football because..he could, but either through lack of desire or lack of appropriate coaching for a precociously talented junior, he failed to rise to any heights and was eventually shafted to Brisbane and ignominy.
  22. Dennis Cometti has occasionally let slip that the Dees have always been his sentimental favorites
  23. Watch footage of him on You Tube and you'll be hugely impressed . He's a boy mountain , and obviously still growing , whilst his athleticism for one so tall is outstanding , as is his desire to put himself into a contest . I think we can feel as excited about this one as we do about our first two picked prodigies .
  24. Actually Watts already looks as if there is some body development taking place ; the same certainly can't be said for Morton whose body shape looks to be regressing
