when do the incidents from Saturday's game get announced.? I thought it was 24 hours or similar with the one person MRP

Before you push for the inclusion of another tall in the forward line you have to consider the game plan. If we are channeling Richmond which we seem to be you limit yourself to one tall in the form of Riewodlt who if you think about is the proto type for how we are playing Hogan. At least we have Gawn which gives us dominance by comparison to the Richmond set up where they play a competent but not starring ruck. Personally I'm not sure. If the VFL players were starring against hard opposition then the case becomes stronger for those guys but they aren't there yet. On the other hand are our scrambling forwards worthy of our reliance. On Saturday they showed their worth so I expect they may get another go this weekend. Melksham showed last year that he is an efficient forward. Brayshaw for ANB .. I am comfortable to leave that to the selectors but I would be thrilled to see Gus kill it on the big stage.

Money ball has been used at Casey for at least a season or two and I assume it is also used at the MFC. Have no idea f what it means but I suspect it is simply taking the risk if you have the opportunity to solidly improve the overall progress of the ball in our favour. As you say... take the smart option having regard to risk and reward

Geelong will head home and have its usual victories down at Ocean Grove North which will see thm challenge for the 8. Yep .. we should have beaten them at the MCG sans Dangerfield

6 goals in 5 mins to the eagles ...impressive

go weagles

8 goals to one..........

Well... the battle took place on the outer car park as distinct from the main arena but the Weid did win. This being said Pedersen was not disgraced in that his half forward play was very strong. Looks like we will have a rematch on the plains of Avalon next week. On a more serious note the Casey forward line is over manned with talls which contrasts strongly with the senior side. Makes meaningful comparisons difficult.

Port ... the only undefeated team after 3 weeks (and of course we know they only fell in against the Bears). Could this be mathematical chaos theory once again this season?

Big result for us season wise if we can put a few games between us and the Bombers. West Coast doing well against Geelong brings them into that 5-10 bracket for the pointy end also. A win against Geelong would have been useful as will at least 3 out of the next 4 for us.

nah only the power teams get away with that !

news to me ... but please elaborate on another tangent the Nrth Melbourne cheer squad chant of "Let's go Kangas" is so little Lleyton it is painful. (BTW Lleyton earned my respect thoroughly by the time he finished his career but that chant was so nuff.)

when he was down my end he took a few good defensive marks. Hard to see much at the other end Most of Coburg's forward forays were on the rebound and lacking construction

Yes ... did not notice him that much but that may have just have been me. He was in the forward line for a little while but TBH with Weid, Pedersen and Filipovic we may have the luxury of two many talls at present in our VFL team.

yep and did some good stuff seems to have a bit of nip in him. Hunt did not set the world alight from my observation. Had a few chances to run and carry and went the chip kick ... would like to just see him run anyway... even if caught today we would have still won by a lot.

I don't think they were bogged... rather the truck went down the back of the mound on the wing

Really hard to judge the effort today as the Demons were on another level by comparison to Coburg. To me Coburg lacked key defenders and a few talls. It is for this reason that I marked the Weid down from a goal kicking aspect. He did however lays some good tackles and was constantly involved in the game. If he can do it again next week against Werribee (another unaligned club unfortunately) then he will be knocking on the door. Loved Spargo and the group that I call the over 50's (because of their numbers) were not disgraced... Balic, Petty and Baker. I saw Gus in tight a few times but cannot say I really noticed his game. JKH and Pederson put on some one quarter clinics (Pedersen in the second and JKH in the third) and were at least serviceable in the others. All in all a very pleasant day at Coburg Oval ... and a very nice salad roll for $6.

Our favorite truck is next to the Indian food truck. Very trendy place.. Coburg these days. Boy a place in my old home of reservoir went for $1.25 m yesterday

A good mark and goal to the weid to start the fourth quarter

The radio truck is free and another end to end goal from the demons

Hunt steps over the line while kicking out. Goal to Coburg from the ball up

Casey radio truck still well and truly stuck. First effort to pull it out failed

We are lucky in this country. By co incidence found myself sitting next to a few players and their families. No one bothers them. Great to see

Pedersen may not have the goals but he was dominant around half forward. Physically he looks like a man among a lot of adolescents. Weid is not imposing himself on the game despite his goals. Coburg seem to lack talls. Spargo could be a find., seems to know how to find the ball

No one really dominant so far. Demons to the scoring end but wind is swirling
