Casey wanted it more, especially at the end. We have too many who are not hard nuts. Many of them were disappointing tonight.

Fantasia: 22 possessions, but not a single score.

Moir: 6 possessions. Disappointing.

Walsh racks up possessions and it's noticable. He's everywhere. He's influencing the game.

One of the things I've noticed watching VFL games when Binns is involved is... that I don't 'notice' him.
It surprises me when I look up the stat sheet at the end of the game and see he's had it so many times.

I'm guessing part of that is the coverage of games with less camera angles and the commentators not always calling the player in possession on long shots.

Was Binns 'noticable' last night?
Did he have a big influence on the game.

Sometimes his work didn’t go to plan, like the run from halfback to half forward that ended with a shanked kick, but was eye catching just the same.
