2022 VFL Grand Final. (Casey Vs Southport)

[Presti35]

Interesting contest so far.

I'm a little disappointed with the crowd. I know its a QLD team and that Visy only opened up certain areas of the stands, but still. I would have liked to have seen more support around the stadium. Should it have been played elsewhere? Would a Carlton/Richmond/Essendon/Collingwood game have drawn a bigger crowd? And would those teams have been playing at another venue?

Anyway, Southport have taken an early lead as Casey seem a little flat. They dominated the whole season, so this is a little surprising. I hope Southport keep it up.

They have one former Pie, Manteit playing.

Casey looking good going into the 4th. Currently with a 20 point lead in the wet on a muddy soaking ground. Should have been at Marvel.

I've been on and off watching it, will be keen to see Weidemans stats at the end. I think he's been mainly playing as ruck.

[Dark Beanie]

Margin was 32 points at the end.

Only watched a bit of the 1st quarter when it looked pretty even.
Casey kicked away after half time.
They were the best team all year, finished H&A top of the ladder 3 games clear with only 1 loss to the Lions.

Sam Weideman finished with 18 disposals, 35 hitouts but only 1 mark.

Watched the game.

Very difficult conditions with heavy rain throughout.
