Demon Dynasty

Wow the umps / AFL tried their best to win that one for the filth and still failed!! They even through in a 50 but ignored Collingwood player running straight through Hore's protected zone with no oppo in sight that she mightve been chasing

That was the most enjoyable game i've been to (aside from witnessing Spargo's agonising dislocation) since Moose's 150th at Trevor Barker oval back in mid 2023. And before that the flag at Princes Park against South Port. The more i think about my time attending Casey games the more i realise how much more i prefer my experience there vs AFL. I actually no longer enjoy the whole game day nonsense at that level any longer. I truly feel the essence and purity of the great game is significantly lost at that level both on and off the field.

If he can play like that after a fair lay off he may not be too far off regardless DS. A good does of Burgo sure but isn't it partly on the player to push the envelope from his side too?

Yes that sounds about right Earl

Kolt had some pretty key moments today. That was the best i've seen him play at either level after quarter time. His link up work, B lining the pill on occasions and work in getting inside out (and in particular going corridor where possible) was very nice to watch. More movement, less fumbles and more one touch instinctive clean gives.

Haha always. The tater cakes are better at Casey though imho 💪🏼

Thought Sesto was fab today. He's an elite kick and used that asset to cut a swath through the gulls and help us move the ball effectively and efficiently off HB. He also attacked a number of loose ball contests at ground level aggressively, knocking the ball forward and occasionally breaking up their chains with some good body work. Surely he's worth persisting with. A possible replacement for Salo at some stage or an alternate look down back when we don't need a third tall or medium tall?

Horrid shoulder dislocation Spargo. Still out. Going inside to fix

4 goal breeze to Willy's end....give or take

Yes thats true. Mostly a solid game. It was more than just that kick though and just this game. Very proficient at this level at times but then undoes the good work a bit with disposal at times. Agree to disagres on that part of his game (in general).

Mentha coming along very nicely indeed. Him Sesto & TC (as a Max managed option at times) surely get a number of games at senior level in 26

TC take a bow son. Sesto was fab in much of the 2nd Loved Bill's desperation spoil deep in defence too Commitment over the ball and willingness to chase / tackle was first class. Keep bringing the heart & second effort we saw in that 2nd and we're on track

This is why Bill doesn't quite make the grade. So many horrid field kicks for turnovers through the middle, even at this level

Wind gone from across ground to Willy's end now. 2 to 3 goal breeze at times

Hopefully just warming up. That was nice connection through Kolt & Culley there
