VFL 2017 Rd 8: Northern Blues vs Coburg at Preston

[Baggers]

There are huge wraps on Byrne and I haven't seen a great deal of him. I am interested in how much of it is hype (next big Irishman) and how many that have seen a lot of him think he will not only be a good solid footballer, but in the words of Simmo and Gerard Healy, a star.

The best summary of Casey might be from the lips of BB, who commented after one of his games last year just before going down with a knee, that, "Looks like we've found a player..." or words to that effect. Ultimately, MIO, time will tell but he does display very good awareness, pace, decision making ability and disposal. Even though it was his first game in a year, he clearly looked a class above the rest at Preston today.
