2nds The Casey Thread 2022

[Crusty Demon]

Bloody great effort to be undefeated this deep into the season.

Laurie, JVR, Chandler looking nearly ready to take on AFL level. Rivers, Hunt, Tomlinson, Dunstan all quality depth. Joel Smith getting closer to a return also. Weid and Mitch Brown will get pushed back to VFL. We have a pretty bloody handy 30-32 players now.

Has any side done the VFA/VFL unbeaten in recent memory?

EDIT: Port Melbourne did it in 2011 which is recent. Footscray were 10-0 when the season was called in 2021 but hard to call that unbeaten given no flag.

Footscray probably would have lost that GF from a commanding position anyway (and blamed injuries)

good start by the Casey boys v Geelong. 4 goals to nothing first qtr.

 

[Fork n Hell]

Chandler, JVR, Weideman, Brown, and Woewodin all with goals so far.

 

[Fork n Hell]

nice goal to Laurie now.

 

[Dory_77]

Casey dominating. Even when they bottle things still able to follow up, probably should've conceded a goal or two then but doing very well to shutdown Geelong. Very quick and aggressive in attack

 

[Fork n Hell]

end of first qtr we lead 37-3.
Laurie really starting to improve with more time spent in the guts imo. he has good hands in close.

Laurie needs to drop weight. He's probably 5-7kg too heavy. He's not covering the ground all that well.

Good. They’re all in my ‘ins’ for next week.

Casey Globetrotters > Melbourne

yeah he needs to get fitter and he also needs to build up his upper body. not sure he has to lose that much weight though.

He can kick so hes a point of difference though, we have enough guys who can run and do nothing constructive with the ball.

Cats get 2 in a row

Nah. I’ve been swayed. If he loses 6.24kgs maybe. Let’s break out the Movicol.

shits me how they display the goal kickers name in the VFL.

Christian name in bold, surname in regular text.

 

[Fork n Hell]

Hunt has been good

 

[Fork n Hell]

i forget what the score was at half time but 4 goals to the Cats that qtr and we we kicked 2 points.

agree. I like his skillset.

Yeah, his upper body is small but his legs and hips are no joke the biggest in the afl. it's definitely his body shape but he's definitely carrying excess fat.

 

[danster168]

Van Rooyen looks much better behind the ball I reckon. some great intercept marks just then. I guess we're not in a position to move him back.

that's always an option for him if the forward thing doesn't work out.

i see him as being a midfielder though so i think his strength through the hips is good as it means he is strong over the ball. i guess if you see him as a forward then he needs to slim down even more.
