2nds The 2016 Casey thread

[Dez!]

The Weide is smokin'!

Eh? Eh?

 

[Dez!]

He also just gave off a goal, I'm excited.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Trengove done for the night. Head knock in the second centre clearance

FUBAR.

 

[eskimo]

Final score 179-35. Good win

Sounds like the Weid is just demanding a game far soon than later, which is awesome, no doubt Roosy will want to leave him where he is, but at what point do you pretty much have to reward good form. For those that have seen him, how is the rest of his game other than his goal kicking?

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Read on Demonland that Petracca gave plenty of lip during the game, and even bantered with a Frankston fan in the crowd after kicking his second.

It's been a long time since we've had an arrogant superstar that opposition fans hate. Hoping Petracca might be the one.

Love it! I really hope in his debut next week, he takes possession, steps around Pendlebury, fends off Treloar, slots it from 35 and then turns around and lets both of them know all about it!

Does all the right things, but he's just a rake. He'll get blown away at AFL level. If it gets to later in the year and he keeps it up, fine, but right now I would love to give him a dozen games at Casey regardless of form.

 

[lanky_wes]

77 points in the last quarter??

Yeah fair enough. I doubt there was any plans to play him at all, but if he's kicked 30 after 10 games, might be worth throwing him in in the second half of the season and seeing if he can expose a few 3rd talls

I think he's going to be smashed there too. I saw him v OMac at the intraclub and you could probably split the matchup, and OMac is of a similar build, perhaps a little bigger. There really aren't many KPDs that are as light-on as he is. I'm a big advocate for patience here, because structurally he will go in as the #2 otherwise we'll just be way too top-heavy.

Yeah fair enough ... Maybe very late in the season then. More than happy to leave him in the VFL for the year if he's just going to be pushed around

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

28 touches for Petracca. Can't wait to see this kid unleashed on the comp.

 

[stabler]

Was there tonight, was awesome being on the right side of an absolute shelacking. Almost felt sorry for franga.

Petracca is mint. Kicking is spot on and he is just immovable out of a pack. Really vocal and chirpy which was great to see. Brayshaw was also prolific and was the happiest player out there when his mate petracca kicked his first for the scorps. Gus got the boys in a huddle on the three qtr time siren and demanded they finish the game off strongly. Definitely learning from his mentor chunk.

Was the best I've seen Oscar McDonald play, Weideman is very courageous, loved pedo in the ruck after king went down. And finally , we need to get Declan Keilty into the dees at the end of 2016. Big lump of a lad and his ki king for goal is fantastic. All in all, was one of the funnest games I've been to in a long time, dees included.

 

[stabler]

Also mark petracca down for his debut against the tigers Sunday night should he get through next week unscathed. Also forgot to mention Nibbler, he's going to be alright.

Declan was training with Melbourne during the pre season

 

[eskimo]

I'm a little surprised Petracca had 28. Didn't think he got that much of it. But he thoroughly impressed me. Everything he did was good. Kicked an absolute bullet pass that went50-55m and wouldn't have got above head height and hit a team mate laces out. He is angry, aggressive, a perfectionist, and completely in love with himself. And I couldn't be happier about all of that.

Neal-Bullen was really good. Be unlucky not to get a game next week.

Was he one of the ones that trained with us early on in the preseason? The name sounds familiar ...

He looked like he was on a mins restriction

not overly massive
played mostly ruck today and kicked 3 goals
Normally used as a defender and is rarely beaten

 

[Blackas87]

Sh!t we need to use lube next time we play
