Jesse Craven a late inclusion from original selected side. (Billy the Kid's promotion in Alice).

Tyler Edwards quality player on the periphery with so many MFC listed players prioritised. Tom Freeman also listed an emergency. A determined defender not afraid of the hard ball. Both worthy of inclusion IMHO.

World Cup perennial bridesmaids England see off the final French challenge at Waterloo with a German late substitution.

As a now confirmed member of the Demon diaspora, (serendipitously or was it auto-schadenfreude?) managed to attend both games. 2000GF after flying in from LA that week. Luckily got a ticket at the ground at cost. Joy soon turned to disappointment, a competitive beginning in the first quarter blighted by some very nervous goal kicking. Vividly remember David Neitz missing a couple he would normally kick. Really let the air out of the ebullience balloon. With Long and Wallis running amok it was all over by half-time. Visiting Melbourne from the NT. The final game coached by Neil Daniher had an air of a Shakespeare tragedy about it. David Neitz courageously had a final goal kick to decide the match result but was obviously hampered by a leg injury. It was high drama , more or less directly in front from inside the 50 metre arc. The kick either didn't make the distance or skewed left for a behind. Ich Essen ate the game.

Rated Roan Steele at Casey. Departed end of 2023 for the WAFL. Rankles that the ‘Filth’ have now drafted him.

RBG you're suggesting a Gold Coast fairy tale ending? Love a verbal stoush. 'Aints are shaking the can meanwhile Suns are blessed with providence and abundance.

As an avid Casey watcher surprised how many Casey VFL listed players have nominated for the Mid -Season Rookie Draft. Riley Baldi Riley Bonner Lachlan Byrce Jesse Craven Paddy Cross Oliver Green Mitch Hardie Mitchell Kirkwood-Scott Caleb Lewis Kobe Shipp Kai Windsor Noah Yze The Dirty Dozen; continuity could be an issue for many. Riley Baldi, Riley Bonner and Mitch Hardie have the advantage of that plus have a number of decent performances. Paddy Cross and Lachlan Bryce possible smokies sometime in the future. Noah Yze in racing parlance is an outside chance, perhaps the Tiggers recruiting people will rate his outstanding performance in the amateurs.

Looks a natural for the Wallabies centre scrum and maul. Some basic Aussie rule attributes will help selection and retention.

Going glass of Merlot half full too. JVR a solid performance, kept his feet unlike last week. Marking the ball top and centre of the pack getting some one grab clunks. Competitive when the ball hit the deck. JEFFO best performance of the year. Lead well and took the ball at the highest point. Showed some welcome physicality, no hesitation, in for the tackle, earned him two goals. Was able to get his arms free for some creative handballs. There is something there to work with. Oliver Sestan played like the No. 1 locomotive in the first half was in everything. Strangely quieter, chugging away like Puffing Billy in the second half, but was probably eclipsed by Riley Bonner’s ascendant performance. Blake Howes and Bailey Laurie reinforced their claims for promotion with smart workmanlike performances. Will Verrall played second fiddle to Tom Campbell’s dominant performance in the ruck. Nonetheless contributed positively as did Taj Woewodin to the team performance. The two Riley’s Baldi & Bonner, Mitch Hardie and Tyson Sruk #53 were the best performed of the Casey listed players. Special mention; Jack Billings bobbed up like a Jack in the Box. A consistent and prolific performance with the ball all match. Could surprise a few with a return call.
