Awesome to hear Dec has 2 goals already thanks KC

Unfortunately I am working tomorrow and will miss this game, if the watches could keep a close eye on Keilty for me it'll be very much appreciated

Apparently because it’s only a practice match they can’t play at Kardinia so they chose Werribee instead

Me too, probably taking Spargos spot. Should be good coz he definitely knows where the goals are, some of his work and snaps at goal, or running into goal last year were great

Half back who can also go into the midfield, but can play small forward as well

Just FYI Keilty doesn’t play back anymore

Knew Kolodjashnij was coming in, he is a good player. Great to see Lockharts dream come true. Keilty emergency again, thought he was a chance this week but at least he is still in contention. If he keeps his good form cor a couple of VFL games, hopefully he gets a go sooner rather then later.

Half back that also goes into the midfield

Lockhart is a seriously good player. Plays very well both on the inside and out with good speed and superb skills. I didn’t really notice him for Casey on the weekend but he must have played inside most of the day and it’s hard to tell watching live who is doing well in there. Some of his games last year were pretty incredible so I’m expecting a lot from him. Good luck Jay.

Cornes is more biased towards his Former club then any other media personality so take this with a grain of salt

I think Kolodjasdjin will come in. Very skilful player and Goody did mention him in today’s presser. May obviously to come back. And selfishly, but not without merit, I think Keilty could come in. Play as a high forward/link up target and chop out Max in the ruck. We will see tomorrow.

Not to fuel the fire but I actually think Weid is a better mark then Dec is. At this stage they wont be dropping Sammy for Dec. Could we play 3 tall forwards with Max and Dec rotating through the Ruck?

Pruess, no. Like I said he was good in the ruck but did nothing else. Keilty maybe, here’s hoping. Not sure with Baker. Could be close to a debut but I’ve got no idea haha

Oh I forgot Jordan and Chandler. Chandler was good, I kept having to look at the name sheet because I kept forgetting who he was but he had some good moments. Jordan was quiet but did okay as well.

Casey came away with a well fought win today. It was hot and windy and by the start of the 4th quarter everyone was cooked but we held on against the wind to finish well. Our inside 50's and shots on goal were pretty terrible and we got hurt on the rebound a lot which will need work throughout the year. We were in control most of the day and should've won by a lot more. Final Score Casey 10 - 17 - 77 to Box Hill 10 - 6 - 66 Melbourne Listed Players (Be warned I wasn't in my normal viewing place so didn't have the best view of the ground and I was focusing on Dec most of the game): Stretch: Good attack on the ball and did well on the inside Kolodjashnij: Took a little while to get into the game, but reads the ball well off half back and has great skills. Could see him coming into the Seniors pretty soon. Lockhart: An average game by Jay's standards but did his usual good work Maynard: Didn't notice him a lot but he was inside all day and its hard to tell with loads of players around the ball who is doing well or not Bradtke: The surprise for mine. Was very quiet the first half but took some good grabs and kicked a goal in the second Bedford: Again didn't really notice him but did a couple of nice things out of the back pocket Preuss: Was a monster in the ruck around stoppages, but did nothing of note around the ground. Talking to him after the game he was running around sore J. Wagner: Solid game but made mistakes with the ball, his attack and aggression was great though Petty: Great game as the main key defensive peg with some good overhead grabs and spoils until he rolled his ankle in the last quarter Baker: I think he is going to be a good winger, runs hard and fast and hits the ball well. Some sloppy disposals though. Keilty: Best forward on the ground by a mile. Jumped well at the ball, took a few strong marks and if not he always bought it too ground. Did some good work at ground level too. Didn't do much Ruck work as Pruess probably did 80-90%. Was stuffed in the last quarter as he didn't come off the ground for the whole 2nd and 3rd quarters but I really liked his game. I am being biased but he played well. Did I miss anyone? Also Jade Rawlings is a great coach. I listened to the 3/4 time huddle and his instructions to the boys were well given and you could see the affect it had in the last quarter to enable us to hang on for the win.

Got a good description after the game. It was actually Tim Mohr not Lewis. He had simultaneously dislocated his knee, and broken both his Tibia and Fibula. Dec said it was easily the worse injury he had ever seen.

Fought hard and well against the wind to win 10-17-77 to 10-7-66 Will do a write up when I get home

Petty limping off with a rolled ankle, doesn’t look too serious.

Kolodjashnij has done some good stuff, Baker as well. Pruess dominating in the ruck at stoppages but otherwise not doing a lot. Stretch been good too. Casey have had most of the play but have missed easy shots and gotten hurt on the rebound. Casey 6-13-49 to BH 9-3-57 nearing 3/4 time

Keilty having a strong game

5 mins into the first quarter a Hawks player goes down holding his leg. I’m not sure what happened but the Umpires have called for an ambulance. Gonna be a while before play starts again.Poor bastard, never want to see injuries but definitely not serious injuries in a practice match.

I’d like to think but there’s no way he’s playing down back with May and others to come in, he will have to find a spot as a FWD/Ruck

Hey boys we know we’ve had a dodgy pre season, I wouldn’t be surprised if we have a [censored] start to the season with 4 or 5 loses before we kick into gear and come home strong. It’s gonna be a rough few weeks.

Also I’ll be at the game tomorrow and will put a write up of how the AFL listed boys play

Not sure where or how they would fit him into the side, but if Keilty has a good game in tomorrow’s VFL practice match I’d could see him come in for a chop out for Max. Fingers crossed boys.
