U must be joking Mitch White is THE KING OF TURNOVERS  Tholstrup similar, Bailey Laurie WONT MAKE IT, Sestan non existent, Fullarton FEEBLE, JEFFO, can arise from this rabble, coz he has a footy brain and skill set to match!

Picket I'll take optimism and self-belief over cockamamie pessimism every time.

What’s the good word on AMW? he gets a lot of it but how are his positioning, tackling and decision making? they are the things that will get him a gig in the ones

could he realistically take someone’s place on the HB line, if so, who’s spot. 

thanks in advance for the insights

Commensurate with Casey's performance, so down a little on last weeks high personal performance mark. The naysayers will say his statistics were padded out by kickouts. Though Blake Howes appeared to be sharing that responsibility.

Casey backline were under a lot of pressure from Coburg. Centre clearances were going decisively one way, particularly after quarter time. So Andy was getting amongst it and was involved in repeated attempts to get the ball going the other way. Two memorable plays he was involved with led directly to Casey goals. One an unlikely extraction from a pack and a clean pass to Matthew Jefferson. The other an outrageous fend off, after gathering the bouncing ball at pace and a long handball which resulted in a footpass to Tom Fullarton, goal.

Both those plays showed he is gaining confidence and has the elusive "X" factor. IMHO he is the best uncapped MFC player running around at Casey. Where or when he gets his debut is dependent on him continuing in his current vein of form. The decision to play him in defence is sound, he is getting his hands on the ball a lot more. Plus his defensive game is getting plenty of opportunity to improve. I don't see his possible field position being limited to defence. As he is an attacking, creative player by nature.

Lies, Damm lies and statistics…

Frees Casey 21 v Coburg 18 

Howes, Tholstrup, AMW and Laurie the better performed MFC boys

AMW watch; 27 disposals at 75.9%, 8 intercepts possies, 7 marks, 3 tackles. Appeared to be sharing kick out duties with Blake Howes.

Mitch White best Casey player.

 AMW fend off releasing handball sets up Casey goal.

AMW nice extraction. Casey goal!

Hallelujah holding the ball decision correctly paid.

Momentum has swung? AMZ 15 disposals.

Piranha Park feeding frenzy. Casey bleeding 🩸 goals.

Have they banned the ball up? If the ball doesn’t come out of a pack they pay a free

Usually to the second tackler. Inevitably in black and visible red.

Casey in disarray blow the siren!

Obciously some umps didn't see or heed the latest HTB changes and instructions.

100% free to Ollie there with a great fend off tackle.  The oppo player was also taken to ground after then just flopped the ball out 

Easily the worst non-decision of the day

Umpiring is Sub-urban umpires seem to only recognize red and black.

Second rubbish centre bounce to favour Coburg.

Fullarton chest mark goal!

According to commentator dog tied up below “but that’s alright”. 

Scooby-Doo dog 🐶 is bloody annoying!!!

Two Coburg goals 🐶 yelps approval.

Young Pup has shaved his locks looks a ringer for Dad Doggie.

Suburban footy at its best. Somebody’s terrier providing sound effects into the microphone.

Young Demons going well Laurie, Verral and Kolt.

Jeffo goal!

Casey skill errors costly.

Casey chain of handballs. Sloppy turnover Lions goal x2

Jeffo reads play well for mark and goal.

Young Adams getting involved early. Caleb Lewis goal!

Work experience guy on camera. Focus issues now resolved fortunately.
