Maybe next year

The Cats with the first in less than 2 mins. Casey could not hold tackles and the Geelong player runs into an easy goal

3Qtr time casey: 4.7.31 geelong: 3.10.28 lucky to still be in it but Geelong will have a 2-3 goal breeze coming home. Hutchins and Monroe playing good games. Smith and Spargo our next best. Spargo’s Silly mistakes downplays his game. Hardly saw JKH that quarter and it’s been a really poor game from Maynard today (I’m disappointed). JJ had a better quarter that one.

Completely outplayed this quarter. Our midfield not providing any run. If I see Spargo handball to another teammate with a Geelong player right next to him I’ll spew up. The cats missing some easy goals against the breeze (1-2 goal breeze)

Cats reply. Back to 4 points to Casey

Smith gets Casey’s first for the term. Need at least another 2 without Geelong scoring I think

Breeze picking up again. 17 mins gone and still not looking like we’ll score. 4 pts still to Casey

Cats with all the play and starting to rule the air. The breeze has definitely died down but still a goal favouring the Casey end. Beginning to look quite bad.

Wind dies down and the CAts score the first in 2nd half

Zak Guthrie being carried off. A few mins to go with Casey up by 10 points. Wind blowing stronger now. Liking Smith’s game

I just saw Hannan chase for 40m. Maybe he received the message. Dunkley not playing

12 mins gone and Cats with all the play as you’d expect. Wasting opportunities like Casey did in the first.

1st goal of 2nd quarter to Cats. I like the look of their Jermaine Jones. Quick and puts head over the ball.

A sub par score given the wind. Tackling pressure has been excellent. This quarter will be the test. Spargo, Baker, Smith and Hutchins the best for mine

JKH and spargo missed simple kicks to teammates. Disappointing although both playing reasonably well. Hutchins the standout for me

Keilty with the 3rd. 22 mins gone. Casey with all the play. Should be more than 22 points up.

Lefau with number 2. Love the way Smith contests for the mark

JKH with the first after a great marking contest by Smith. Baker started well

Casey kicking with what I think is a 3-4 goal breeze. Started ok. JKH just squibbed a marking contest right in front of me

Smith and Baker out there. Guessing that means Hannan and Dunkley travelled with the seniors. Correction Hannan out there too under a yellow training top so I missed it

Decided to venture to Casey. Beautiful sunny day but quite windy. Based on the performance of Casey and Melbourne in the past I’m expecting to see 4 times as many behinds as goals.

Anyone know why Bradtke is not playing? Also is there a streaming service of this game?

Goodwin told me at Casey that they will see how Max pulls up tomorrow before making a decision. Based on his body language don’t expect the big guy to play. Even if he does Preuss for Smith is like for like and if anything we’re better with Preuss. Happy Dunkley is in as we need to see what he can do. Baker was the obvious drop although I think Gus must be very close to being dropped. No Cripps, Mackay and Curnow is the equivalent of no Gawn. Lever in for Petty next week regardless of how Petty plays

Half a game I think. Didn’t see him after half time. Was average before then but first game back. Lever was outstanding. James Jordan and JKH were very good

Based on what Simon Goodwin, I’m not expecting Max to be playing tomorrow. He said they’d see how he pulls up tomorrow but his facial expression was not optimistic

Munro goals. Back to 13.
