the only Casey lad selected to play for the Big V

 

[Crusty Demon]

This comp is so cooked.

The AFL and VFL fixtures are an absolute mess. Dillon is so far out of his depth is laughable.

 

[Lampers]

Reckon Kentfield has to improved his mobility even with a sore knee to the point where he's essentially a rich man's version of Johnson.

As in Paul Johnson?

I reckon sKing is very big on Kentfield and I wouldn’t be shocked to see him in the senior team sooner rather than later.

He was named as an emergency last week off a month of not playing.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Max Heath 15 contested possessions and a couple of clutch intercept marks in defence. Hmm...

Haven’t caught any full Casey games this year yet.

Have they adopted the same style as the senior side?

Too small a sample size IMO.

Kalani White to make his debut, and named at full forward. Love to see that.

Already played 3 VFL games for Casey.

Already played 3 VFL games for Casey.

Wouldn't really count that, was last year before he was drafted.

Same team. Same league. Literally no different. He wasn't drafted to the VFL.

 

[jhong]

All 3 emergency's playing at casey .

 

[Lampers]

Early positional stuff and nothing super surprising.

Cross on ball with White rucking.

Matthews and Henderson up forward with Matthews then swapping on ball.

Tmac and Adams back along with Berry (who still doesn't have an AFL body to my eye yet). Moniz-Wakefield also back. AMW looks to be pressing up the ground hard and has got the ball a couple of times about 60 out from goal.

Non-Melbourne listed Ah-mu is playing deep forward.

 

[Lampers]

Kentfield and White look to be swapping in the ruck.

It looks like Mentha might be still in that half back role. Onley also seems to be half back.

 

[Lampers]

For anyone watching, the commentator keeps calling Matthews as Marshall which is bit confusing.

 

[Lampers]

Onley now is on the wing. Henderson on ball along with Matthews and White rucking again.

 

[Lampers]

I've been keeping an eye out for this a bit today.

I'd say the short answer is "Yes" because Casey's backs are pushing up the ground super aggressively, often seen around the forward 50 metre line - and just like the seniors when the ball gets turned over there are easy goals on offer for the opposition as a result.

Some beautiful foot skills from Brisbane

It's also pretty open when Brisbane get it because of Casey's backs pushing up the ground so much, so they've got time and space to execute.

Not that the Melbourne listed guys are infallible with disposal, but the poorer skills of the Casey listed players has been pretty apparent so far.

Lions up by 28 at qt. No wind.

Clever from Kentfield
