To be honest even I get them mixed up sometimes, both similar height, similar build, same hair colour and same position. So don't feel too bad if you get them mixed up

Exactly, Fritta is an absolute gun and probably shoulda been drafted higher. Probably won’t see someone like him come through the VFL for a while.

Jay Lockhart is pretty damn good. An inside midfielder with huge skills and composure. Came from Tasmania and won last years TSL best and fairest medal. I believe. Melbourne have enough inside mids but I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets picked up late in the draft or as a rookie by another team.

Hutchy should be back in a week or two but White was playing good footy so hard to replace Flipp is better in the Ruck but Kingy is better around the ground, but yeah probably too early to tell

Petty- he plays as a lock down defender like OMac. Developing well and has good skills for a KPD. Probably needs a few years to really hit AFL level like all tall players do Balic- yeah he’s a HFF that can do midfield, probably like ANB. Pace isnt fantastic but is skillful Smith- had a few nasty injuries so will take some time to get back to his best, but has been solid. Plays similar to the Jeremy Howe role. He seems fine physically but have no idea of his mental recovery sorry Edit: Forgot Baker- Both. He reads the play well and is evasive as well as good running speed.

Apologies for the late writeup, we went out for tea after the game. Today was a hard slog but Casey's class and pressure won them the day. We were definitely lucky with Ports poor accuracy in front of goal, but that can be attributed to Casey's pressure not allowing them easy shots on goal. The 3 talls in defence in Keilty, Frost and Petty were fantastic and in a game with many momentum swings and the boys were able to hang on and get the win. Tyson - Started poorly with many turnovers and wasted possessions but improved as the game went on too finish well and have a big impact on the game Garlett - Quiet game, kicked a great goal but otherwise didn't do a lot Keilty - His best game for the year. Found the ball plenty and mostly used it well. Had some great defensive marks and when thrown forward in the last quarter was able to be the key link up man for Casey. He's goal was reminiscent of the TMac out the back of the pack, where he just read it best and was able to get it off hands and turn around for an easy kick. Frost - Some great marks and was solid all day. Had some nice run too. Petty - Keeps improving each game, strong in the air and hardly beaten one on one. Baker - Very strong second half, found plenty of the ball running from half back and had some impressive line breaking runs through the middle. Stretch - Bounced back from a quiet game last week to be Caseys best midfielder for the day. Balic - Was lively up forward and kicked 2 very nice goals, continues to improve each week. Bugg - Quiet but I thought he did his role well, needed to find more of the pill. JKH - About the same as his previous few games, nothing special Smith - Had some really good one on one wins and was a good user. King - First game back from injury, needs to build back into playing footy at this level Filipovic- Did well in the ruck and got his hands to a lot of contests, just needs to hold some more marks. Wagner - Had a solid game through the midfield and half back Johnstone - Started to show better signs today, had some important defensive efforts today Some bad news, Mitch White copped a heavy knock and seems to have done some damage to his AC ligament in his shoulder, might be done for the season. Overall it wasn't pretty and Port played some hard, strong football but in the end the class of a few key players stood up and allowed Casey to win the day.

Keilty having the best game of his career

KEILTY!!!! Reads the ball perfectky and strolls into goal

Keilty thrown forward this last quarter to try and be a marking target

Keilty playing one of his best games I’ve ever seen

Baker very good this quarter

Great goal by Tyson under pressure

Lockhart decked without the ball.... Play On And Port get another

Half time Casey 8-2-50 to Port 4-14-38 Caseys pressure much better that quarter. Tyson seems down on confidence at the moment. Garlett quiet. Stretch and Wagner good. Keilty very good, as was Petty and Frost Johnstone had a couple of nice defensive plays. Balic has been okay.

Casey really getting on top now Casey 8-2-50 to Port 3-13-31

Casey’s pressure has stepped up and J.Smith gets a great intercept to kick a nice goal from 40 out

Umpiring pretty terribly in ports favour this quarter but Tyson gets a nice goal from 45 out directly in front

Munro nails a defender in the pocket and Garlett swoops on and kicks a nice banana straight through the centre for the first goal of the second term

Quarter time Port 2-9-21 to Casey 2-1-13 Tyson poor, pretty sure every kick went to an opposition. Stretch and both Wagner’s good, Keilty good same with Frost and Petty If we fix up our disposal we’d be good.

Port have hit the post 5 times in a row

Everyone for Casey horrible with their disposals where as Port are making most count early in the game

Port get the first goal, seem to be on top. Keilty in everything down back, Tyson poor disposal has been costly

Corey Wagner cut his hair now looks exactly like his brother I’m gonna get those 2 confused today lol

Looks like Hunt and Pedo are the traveling emergencies
