Try telling that to a GWS player in long sleeves at Casey today!

You need an enforcer or two. We've had the old stager in Vines for so long. Now he's joined by the young Kolt. Fighting for every scrap, jostling and flying the flag are just as important as anything else in the game. Add to that the fierce attack on the ball and ball carrier. Pressure pressure pressure. Something that's been missing for far too long. The sharing of ball, running in support and more HBs forward (finally), paid dividends today. Have to back it up though. No flukes pls.

CASEY: Rd 4 vs UWS Giants
Pretty much zero impact im afraid Culley showed something in patches. Like the way he goes about it. I'm guessing he's probably a fair way away from building a tank / match fitness that will see him capable of handling AFL level. He'll get a call up at some point and will be exciting to watch when he debuts. He's a big boy and his height makes him a super versatile player who will be a difficult match up. Can easily be thrown up forward to shake things up and worry the oppo too, which was trialled today for a stint. Sestan pretty good aside from a few costly turnovers in the last Q. On that game McVee looked super rusty. Got his hands on it a bit in the second half but much of it was chip kicking and switching around back. Having said that he could play next week regardless. Bonner & Kent both pretty good. Don't mind Hardie. Doesn't rack them up but pretty good quality. Baldi, Cross & Smith all worked their bums off against the tide with a few ordinary moments mixed in at times, which can happen, even to the best. The absence of Campbell hurt imho. And Casey still hasn't found an answer to the loss of moose Munro who was the glue and engine room at CBs and stoppages for so many seasons. A few are trying hard but it's a big hole to fill.

There is no niggle or any physical issues with Rooh. It's just form and confidence unfortunately

Choco wants to see a 5 goal quarter

CASEY: Rd 4 vs UWS Giants
Best passage of play there so far from us. More run and link up needed from defence against the wind vs too many standing around and ball carier trying for precision kicks into the wind. Kirkwood's disposal ..bah

To have any chance of winning this they'll need to leave AJ in as the main ruck and change with Verral (for the chop out) off the bench or rest Verral forward if Rooh needs the odd break

Shocking kick from Kirkwood for the turnover goal

Bill could've taken a few more steps and really opened that checkside up

Verral losing most of the CBs unfortunately. GWS cleaning up better at ground level as well for the majority of clearances

Verral did ok at the bounce but then coughs up what he shouldn't ... GWS capitalise

Culley is a big unit ...fingers crossed he can bring something as the season progresses

Messaging.. harder, halfing more contests, forwards were too forward of ball, correct that. Win it and start driving legs out and connect
