I don't know why they scheduled Sydney at home.

You could have done VFL gather round this weekend in Melbourne.

Too easy for supporters...AFL would have gone for Cloncurry.

Bummer I enjoy going to windy Hill not sure why  be honest, it was [censored] when bombers played there and is now in a serious case of decay. Weather is rain and windy on Sunday should just peachy at Tulla! Looks like tv game to me. 

My last trip to Windy Hill was in 60's. My cousins and I, plus neighbours' kids, were conveyed there in the back of my uncle's ute. But we had a blanket.

Hard to see bombers beating that line-up.

Why do we have this Gather round and what does it represent?

Seriously curious.

 

Stupidity?

At Casey, weather very good.

I thought the Frankston supporters last year at Frankston were great.

With the afl team in Perth and the sub/emergency unable to get back for this game, plus the injuries, a few of the Casey boys will get a run that would otherwise miss out.

Will be a great game and I'm looking forward to it. Casey by 48.

Yes!

Stats will show just 7 possessions and 2 goals but he handed Jefferson 2 more he had every right to kick himself.  He is coming from a minor league, so those coming through the TAC system have a head start. Give him a full year at Casey and a pre season and this kid could be special. High footy IQ and a natural forward. Very excited to see how good he will be.

Unusual body...very short legs. I think he may develop as one of those players that stays upright.

Matthew Jefferson highlights from VFL Round 2

As usual, very unselfish play from Munro.

It is hard to imagine why it isn't.

Would certainly suit the fans.

Not sure how big he is, but just on this single page alone the MFC says he's both 193cm and 194cm.

193.5 ?

In the Casey game last week, the Bulldogs 206 cm 106 kg ruckman, Jordan Sweet, No. 41 was roughing up one of the Casey players as he was making his way to interchange...really bullying/intimidating...fair enough...Casey player changed with JVR, who went straight to the said 41 and gave it right back, with plenty of interest. 41 seemed surprised and definitely did not like it. Me, I loved it. Good luck JVR. Well deserved.

Let's hope all the boys checked their points yesterday. Who needs the grief.

That would also involve a flight out of Brisbane late tonight or early tomorrow morning. 

Doing that...flying them back...wasn't an issue last year...a couple were quite touch and go in terms of flights.

I don’t see the point in sticking the boot into past players. If he was not good enough to make it at the Dees, so what? It happens. If other teams want them after we don’t, then good luck to them. Baker has my best wishes. 

Amen

I noticed Jed Adams played on the weekend?

Any idea how he went?

I didn't really notice Jed Adams, but I wouldn't make too much of that.

One player I did notice is young Charlie Peters. Came on in the last quarter, great smother which resulted in a goal and instrumental in another. Tried his heart out. Well done young man on a disappointing day.

Seemingly 'towelled up' at 'theirs' in the praccy game this weekend? Interested in any reporting from watchers. Hopefully a different result next week at 'Fortress Fields'! Ins and outs, watchers?

I saw most of game when not distracted by kids. Lacklustre performance by Casey. The Footscray smalls did the damage.

Casey players available next week include Munro , badly missed, and Grey. Not Corey Ellison who has moved to Williamstown and kicked 4 on weekend. I believe Mitch White will not be back yet.

Despite the result, I'm predicting a win on Saturday.

Final scores.

Footscray VFL 18.10.118

Casey Demons 7.6.48

Scache another.

Moniz gets the 5th.

Meant jvr back on ground. And almost scored.

Three quarter time.

Goals to Moniz Wakefield, Smith, scache, jordan.

And another.

13.7.85

4.4.28.

I've back on ground

11.7.73

4.4.28.

I missed a lot of first quarter, but no real standouts from what I've seen.

One more to dogs.

Getting quite warm.

2 quick goals to Bulldogs..their smalls going well

Bulldogs 7.6.48

Casey 4.1.25.

Half time.

Warm overcast conditions. I would say Bulldogs have had the best of the wind both quarters.
