FORWARD line development coach Paul Satterley reviews the Melbourne-listed players who played in Casey’s 23-point win over Williamstown at Casey Fields on Saturday night 

Casey 14.8 (92) defeated Williamstown 9.15 (69)

Tom Couch: Tom played a negating role on one of Williamstown's prime midfielders and was still able to win 28 disposals. He also led the side in contested possessions and tackles.

Troy Davis: Troy continues to play some quality football as a key defender. He competed well against Ayce Cordy of Williamstown and had nine strong spoils and generated four rebound 50s.

Chris Dawes: A successful return to football for Chris, he played out his required game time and clearly demonstrated that he has overcome his hamstring injury. He also contributed with two important goals.

Lynden Dunn: Lynden played a near perfect game. His 35 disposals, 11 marks and two goals were from half-back. His efficiency by foot was a standout in very difficult windy conditions. More importantly, he pulled up really well.

Jack Fitzpatrick: Jack played another very competitive game. He had a real impact up forward. His leading, second efforts and finish for goal (4.2) was very good.

Tom Gillies: Like many of his teammates, Tom returned from injury and continued to improve as the game went on. He finished with 12 possessions and four marks.

Jesse Hogan: Jesse sustained a cork to his leg when taking a strong contested mark during the first quarter. This impacted on his movement and we decided not to risk him (early in the second quarter).

Dean Kent: Dean had 11 disposals and kicked the goal of the night. His four bounces into the strong wind and his finish for goal were excellent.  He continues to work very hard in games.

Joel Macdonald: Joel was very busy across half-back winning 21 disposals. He continued to back himself by taking on the opposition with his run and carry. Joel was also returning from injury and got through unscathed.

James Magner: Jimmy had 32 disposals, seven hard ball gets and six tackles. He again led the team around the stoppages and continually worked the ball out of congestion. His form has been very good.

Jake Spencer: Jake played another very good game. He had 15 disposals and 42 hit outs against an experienced former AFL ruckman. He has made significant improvement in his contested aerial work and continues to work hard defensively.

James Strauss: James is playing with confidence and genuine speed. He is looking as quick as he has been since returning to football last season. His offensive work (15 disposals) from half-back, as well as his ability to play tight defence, has been a positive.

Rory Taggert: Rory had 15 possessions, five marks and kicked two goals. He is working much harder in games and playing more consistent footy as a result – some of his contested possessions were very good.

Jimmy Toumpas: Jimmy played on a wing, after a quiet first half. His willingness to gut run was terrific. He also finished with 15 disposals.

AFL Victoria Development League

Casey Scorpions 7.12 (54) d Williamstown 19.9 (123)

Dom Barry: Dom played in the Development side and continued to take the game on with his speed. He finished with 16 disposals and a goal.

Nathan Stark: Nathan played his first game for the season in the Development team and made a successful return, getting through OK. He won a high number of contested possessions.

Josh Tynan: Josh was named as the best player in the Development side. His 25 disposals, intercept marks and defensive efforts were a real positive.
