Best. Tyson  C.Wagner Lockhart Pedersen JKH Vandenburg 

Everyone sees the game differently I suppose.

25 possessions and 3 out of 5 goals and JKH isnot in your best. 

He was BOG for me. 

Next time you watch Casey make a mental note how many times Tyson stuffs up. I think 20 of his handballs missed the target. Long way from paying for Dees again. 

I watch Casey each week. Unless there are a lot of injuries Gartlett is finished. JKH was consistently beaten one on one all day. 

On the bright side Baker gets better each week. Spoke to him at Willy and he spoke a lot of sense. 

Also I have been harsh on Frost but the last two weeks has been very good. Dion is also improving  

Lets hope nothing happens to Gawn because Casey ruchmen are three years away.

I say Mr Miracle, Pedo has played as a defender previously for MFC, perhaps as a 'new' supporter you didn't see those games

Or you are just talking out of somewhere else. It is another posters opinion

Perhaps it is Rawlings seeing what Hutchins can offer up front should he be short a tall like he has been for a few games this season, my opinion

You have not been following dees for long. 

New supporters like you should READ report on game where they state Casey was told to play Pedo in defence in case he is required by dees. 

This verifies my comments

Frost definitely must be in next week  

cannot believe he didn’t play v pies v cox and v power v Dixon

otherwise Goodwin does not see him as part of setup and would have to trade him

big strong defenders are sought after 

I watch him most weeks. He plays well against bottom teams. They had a small forward line with no much talent. When he plays well against top team you can call for his promotion.

Thought Pedo was poor today. Can't understand why he never played forward & Hutchins back. Hutchins is a shocking kick & it showed.

You have no idea. Obviously it’s turn into a defender or no more AFL games for you. 

To everyone here, Weed is still 20 years of age. Don’t care if he spends rest of year at Casey. 

If he still can’t get a game in 2020 then OK get rid of him. 

It was a very physical game and Casey boys handled it well. 

I liked smith and Wagner in defense. 

Jay played best game in long time. 

Pedo was best forward. 

Pedo cannot go back. He has not trained with defenders. Don’t tell me he can fit in with defenders straight away. 

If you want to argue that he should come in as a forward then fine argue who should come out for him. 

Frost has been poor. Smith great game so far. Defended well and atta cked when oppurtunity arose. 

I have watched him a few times at Casey this year. Against coburg he was terrible but against box hill was very good. He is trying to improve his short kicks and to get back into form. Those who have played know that sometimes you lose a bit of form. I am not worried and think he will work his way into it. Just like Gus and hannan did.

I think Spargo gets a rest. 0 tackles against the Suns. I would think Garlett would be his replacement but Bugg is competing for the same spot also... 

Question is Garlett or Bugg? I would take Bugg on form but think he is unlucky here. Garlett will get nod before indeiginous round.

Weideman might get a rest with Sparky this week also. They can work there magic in the VFL. Tim Smith is his logical replacement with Pederson also competing for this spot. Tim Smith is rewarded for his form.

Tyson and Petracca are both in the gun for sub par performances in the last couple of weeks. I think Petracca is more out of form but Tyson is more likely to go out for Viney. Like-for-like.

OUT- Spargo, Weideman, Tyson

IN- Garlett, T Smith, Viney

Record inside 50’s and you want to drop three players. I don’t want to be rude so I will say nothing. 

This is the most pressure I have seen Casey apply. No bad players and no outstanding ones. Really like stretch game. 

I must be watching different game to Martin. Hunt has been disappointing. 

Pedo taking a lot of one grab marks and using bulk. Weird and smith both good forward. Gus has been fantastic, I was critical last week but this week our best midfielder. 

Joel was a bit quiet. Reached for his hamstring near end but no ice so I guessed cramp. 

Gus - on the ball all day. Good but not a play me in the seniors game. 

Kent- outstanding. Marked everything clean pickups and great kicking. 

Frost - outstanding. Same as Kent. 

Balic was good and all the rest were in and out. Seven interchange players so lots of changes. 

The tv captured clearly what Lewis said to the umpire before 50 metre penalty. 

Can anyone lip read and tell me if he used f word to umpire.

It was a  hard game to watch and times as the game lacked any kind of flow, repeat stoppages with little breaks were the theme of the day.  Both teams pushed the half forwards up the ground trying to isolate a small forward 1 on 1 in the wet conditions.  For Casey it was Briggs while for the Blues it was Clem Smith who struggled with limited opportunities,  those who frequent Casey Fields are  aware it's a poor viewing ground and in a stop start game it's hard to see a lot of the in and under especially when the play was on the far side. 

No one's done a full player review so here's mine.

Jack Trengrove  - Was tough and clean in the clinches, more pleasing that when the play opened up showed his class and was able to hit targets when most were booting down the line.  He is very close to an AFL game and seemed to get better as the game wore on, moved freely and he seems to be really enjoying his footy out there.

Ben Newton - Was easily BOG, normally plays on a wing but played all day in the guts and was clean, tough and first to the ball all day.  His first goal was outstanding, won the contested the ball near the forward pocket put on a burst to beat an opponent and snapped from a tight angle which ended up being the highlight of the day.  His 4th game back from injury and is building some very strong form, really positive performance.

Alex Neal Bullen - Was tough, in every scrap and niggling opponents all day which won him a couple of free kicks.  Doesn't surprise me that he won our tackle count, he was a contested warrior in the clearances.  Didn't get really an opportunity to show any outside run or skill which was more circumstance of the game but was very influential in the win.

Jack Grimes - Sneakily building some steady form as a midfielder in the VFL, I don't think he has been the best player in any VFL game this year but always in the top 4 or 5 players.  Played in the middle and was clean with his disposal and made a few crunching tackles, can't remember any bad turnovers by foot.

Mitch White - Was solid and the conditions suited his style of game, he has great strength over the ball and always keeps his feet which gives him the advantage in the wet conditions.   Wasn't really tested as a defender due to the dominance of Casey and won a lot of his disposals in the forward half which resulted in repeat i50's for Casey.

Max King - Took a great contested mark in the first minute which he converted for a goal, was one of his better games but continues to struggle to have a impact as a forward consistently over 4 qtrs.   

Chris Dawes - Moved as freely as I can remember, conditions didn't suit but competed well and was rewarded with a couple of goals.  It was a good return for him.   He is also the easily the biggest guy at the club, I forgot how much of a barrel chest he's got.

Dean Terlich - Was solid defensively but...Copy Paste from every other VFL game review.

Lynden Dunn -  Got a lot of the ball and ran well to support but was just OK defensively,  I get the feeling that Dunny isn't that comfortable with our new zone defense and is better off in the old system.  Was doing his usual of trying to start a fight and annoying the Blues forwards in the second half which is normal for him as chief instigator.

Oscar Mcdonald - Another really solid defensive game from him, seems to have good positioning and was clean with disposal.  Like most of the defenders wasn't put under much pressure due to the midfield dominance.

Sam Weiderman - Loves the contest, really aggressive in the air and initiates body contact when he can.  As good a performance as can be expected from a key forward in the conditions, building on his fitness and don't see him as ready just yet for AFL level.  One thing he has to watch is he gave 3 free kicks away for sliding in the first half, 2 for below the knee contact and 1 where he unfortunately slid in and got  Kieran Mcguiness high which ended his day and sent him to hospital,  he could be in bit of trouble for the last one and may miss a week.

Jake Spencer - Was solid all day and chucked his weight around, still working his way into form and fitness.

Joel Smith - Was on managed game time, really impressive when on the field.  Tough, athletic and super clean hands,  looks like he could be a player.

 

 

You  must not rate Frost as a player. He has no confidence and played that way. He punched when he should have marked and kicked it of the ground when he was clear. These are bad signs and yes I thought he was terrible.

Does anyone know the last time we had 75 inside 50's.

Really? You believe that Dawesy deserves a spot over Frost? For me its a flip of a coin between Dawes and Pederson, but I'd take Frost over him every day. Frost is giving Max a few minutes rest playing ruck, something Dawes can't give us.

Do you actually watch the game. Frost was tried in ruck early and was hopeless. He hasn't rucked for weeks. Its Pedersen that rucks to give Gawn rest.

If Dawes plays like he has the last two years then obviously he wont get a game.

I am hoping he will be a better player in a much better team. I watched Frost and he has no clue when to lead or where to lead to.

Hopefully Frost learns how to play forward and meanwhile Dawes can hold CHF.

For years we have had to worry about opposition. Now they have to worry about us. 

We don't have to pick a team to beat saints.

6 day turnaround. Trengove just delivered a "four quarter" performance in a tough VFL game. Won heaps of the ball.

Surely he's in the mix.

 

Trengove did not play for two years. He has played two games since. Yes he played well but he needs more weeks. I don't understand why anyone want him to play this week. A lot of you are also saying we need speed this week and at the same time saying jack is slow. 

Petracca was tagged a lot Saturday which makes his possessions more impressive. 

In Petracca - the fact is he is a better player than Brayshaw,hunt,Harmes etc. etc. 

out brayshaw(if no injuries).

Oliver in for Brayshaw (rested).

I don't think Petracca's game on Saturday has forced the hand of the match committee, and I'm just nervous about his first full pace game being on the speedy and HARD Etihad surface.

The other question is, do we drop a tall? Our best games at Etihad have been with a smaller, quicker lineup. Would ANB come in for Pedo purely for that reason? Despite the #PedoMyths, I thought he did enough to not be dropped next week, but Frost is quick and Dunn is playing well so he seems the likely tall to come out if we go that way again.

 

So Petracca needs to have 40 possessions to force the hand of the match committee. Are you seriously challenging Trac,s VFL form. 

Trenners received free kick in centre. Ran around man on mark and kicked perfect 50 metre pass to leading forward on left foot. 

Both he and trac were very good inside with quick handballs and great tackling. 

Trac is ready but obviously Trenners will need at least another month. 

I just put some money on Petracca at 20 to 1. Think it's great value.
