fullarton

el jefe! kicks his 5th from just inside 50 on the boundary

hardie goals from what looked to be a solid 60-65m 50m penalty and now jvr has taken a very strong mark on the lead - leads hard out in front; CLUNK shank of a kick from 50 and sprays it MILES oof

jvr is STILL going for all his marks one-handed such a bad habit he's got hisself into

from @sydneydemon : Handling has been poor. Don’t look sluggish from the fence [this was in response to my 'we looked sluggish' from q2 stream observation] Jeffo! Confidence clearly growing 😊

from @sydneydemon - They’re rushing disposals trying to play quickly.

el jefe seems to be one of those forwards who has a knack for earning a free kick i50 - he now has 3 goals 1 billings is absolutely racking it up, playing that classic gut-running wing role and getting a heap of ball running the lines

plugger mac not having a good game - dropping his marks, not nailing his passes, and now kicking into the man on the mark

jvr very strong to get the separation and then double lead for the mark i50 but his kicking is letting him down quite a bit - actually true of the whole of the casey side; their disposal really letting them down

I dunno if he has the ‘smarts’ around the footy to play the role He reads the play well and impacts aerially from a spoil / intercept perspective He seems to operate in straight lines as opposed to making intelligent decisions in the moment, particularly when it comes to with ball in hand

From @sydneydemon at half time - Messy scrambled quarter. Lost our system particularly delivery I50. Looking for a reset in the 3rd quarter. Howes and Sestan busy.

hard to tell on the stream, but it really looked like a lot of the casey players were running in quicksand that quarter i am fearful of a sluggish 'loading' game in mfc's immediate future

plugger uncharacteristically dropping some sitters when under no pressure

fullarton has no second efforts whatsoever

he seems to be able to do a lot right but his skills leave a lot to be desired some dumb frees being given away to the swans to keep them in the contest

from @sydneydemon : Jeffo 6 touches 3 marks and a goal. Great pass to JVR for a goal who’s kicked 2 goals. Playing well through the middle and in general play based upon the 10 mins of the last quarter that i saw via the stream: jvr and el jefe look like a great forward pairing at this level culley smart user going i50 plugger mac is twice as big as his oppo

the @sydneydemon reports may be filtered through the patented @whatwhat say what glen iris / malvern border for easier posting purposes rather than instantaneous, they may be on a quarter by quarter basis...

may + lever = our best tall back duo turner is learning on the job, just as petty did in 2021 plugger mac is there to solve the holes when they appear down back quite frankly, if it means he never gets back into the back 6 at afl level in 2025 and beyond then so be it; means our preferred defensive structure of 2 experienced + 1 L-plater is doing its job

nope, they changed that rule when they changed the points allocation if gc17 can accumulate the points they can take any / all of their academy selections

exactly - NOT PERTH it's literally two and half hours drive from perth, if you go at the speed limit

we are going to miss him

quite honestly if he wasn't their skipper he'd be dropped has been in very ordinary form for the majority of the season

well neither is perth

the filth look like they're in a different class to dingley

Yet to show anything like the skill set required to make it at afl level as yet tho We will never know if he’s any good if he continues to be sub and then get 15 mins to do something in a role that doesn’t necessarily suit him Every game I’ve seen him do well in at vfl level it’s been as a mid, not a pressure / smart ball using forward
