Tigers v Casey Round 5

Umpires killing us the last 10 mins or so, frees not being paid, and a downfield against Ross there that wasn't even there. I'm not even sure Ross pushed him, I think he was off balance and just fell over.

Rossy simply above VFL level, needs to be played an honest bracket of AFL games during this years transition. He either steps up to the level and becomes a senior player or we go look elsewhere at seasons end. But first we need to give him a fair and honest look at seniors, not just one game n sub n out.

Bauer looks a smart n composed player down back, liking his game today n footy smarts are half the job.

Who's our number 66, is that Luke Teal???? Lanky, mobile, composed n smart down back. Got some rough edges n development work to do, but damn I enjoyed watching his work so far.

The commentators should be calling the game on the radio...........perhaps they think they are.

Bauer reads the ball beautifully. It seems clear why he is being played back in the VFL. His reading of the play is outstanding.

Yes 66 is Teal. Has looked pretty good today.

Was really looking forward to seeing Steely Green and he's had a bit of a yeah/nah game. Good with some things, but some very ackward kicks to go with it.

Just turned it on, I see what people are saying about the commentators, there appears to be only one side out there and the commentators are clearly going for Melbourne, oh, sorry, Casey, they have called them Melbourne a few times. The references to Casey as "we" and Richmond as "they" makes it even clearer.

One good sign is that players are passing to a moving player rather than how static the seniors often look. Less pressure in VFL is clear but we must be trying to shift the ball sideways in defence but finding hard to implement in the seniors.

Sh1thouse biased commentary and already cut off. If they won, they'd be celebrating.

Playing and moving better than our 1sts.

Excellent win. Now just need to translate this into the seniors. Ross and Bauer have to come into consideration.

Bauer looks like an AFL quality defender. Either the coaches got lucky or knew what they were doing throwing him into defense. Looking forward to his debut at AFL level any week now.
