FORWARD line development coach Paul Satterley reviews the Melbourne-listed players who played in Casey’s nine-point win over North Ballarat at Eureka Stadium on Saturday

Casey Scorpions 13.17 (95) d North Ballarat 12.14 (86)

Dom Barry: It was a much improved performance from Dom. He had 16 possessions from the wing as well three shots on goal (1.2).

Sam Blease: As expected, Sam provided some really positive run and carry, which he is continually encouraged to do. He had 21 disposals and kicked 1.2.

Mitch Clisby: Mitch had 15 disposals and four rebounds. He started extremely well and will be looking to play four consistent quarters each week.

Troy Davis: Led the team with 10 defensive spoils, which was a good effort. He used the ball OK with 13 disposals.

Max Gawn: Max played another good game. He dominated the hit outs, took a number of strong contested marks and worked hard at both ends of the ground.

Jesse Hogan: It was a dominant game from Jesse. He took 13 marks and this was a reflection of his excellent work ethic. He also finished with four goals.

Dean Kent: Dean continues to back himself with his leg speed which has been pleasing. He is also working hard to provide a defensive side to his game, which was very good on the weekend.

James Magner: Jimmy had 24 disposals and 14 hard ball gets. With Couchy (Tom Couch) a late withdrawal from the side, Jimmy was very good around the stoppages and fully utilised his strong body.

Daniel Nicholson: Daniel won plenty of the ball (22 disposals) and took nine marks, as he worked really hard to utilise his endurance and speed.

James Strauss: James played his best game for the season. He played with speed and urgency, collecting 26 disposals from half-back.

Rory Taggert: Until concussed late in the game, Rory contributed OK as a forward. His five marks and a goal was encouraging.

Josh Tynan: Josh played on one of the opposition’s better small forwards and was reasonably effective in this role.
