Bennell - had little impact

Cheney - good second efforts

Davey - not as influential

Dunn - exciting when confident

Frawley - was good early

Jamar - held his own

Jetta - was easily outmanouvred

Jones - confident and strong

Jurrah - thrilling in bursts

McDonald - tough and uncompromising

McLean - where was he ?

Miller - couldn't find ball

Moloney - gave his all

Morton - great rebounding game

Rivers - was rarely beaten

Robertson - no final glory

Sylvia - great first half

Wheatley - goal for posterity

Whelan - aggression wasn't enough

McKenzie - some encouraging touches

Spencer - was not disgraced

Joeboy thanks for your efforts during the year, your comments create a lot of discussion and you're on a hiding to nothing. I think we found out when you were away that the three word analysis is not easy to do.

Well done and I hope you're up for it again next year.

BTW I reckon you finished on a high!

Thought the Wheatley "super goal" was a nice touch. I also thought when he was doing the kickins, he was kicking it in to the centre square just to humour the fans rather than for any tactical reason. It made me smile anyway. IMO he played a very good game considering he was on one leg and straight out of not playing for the Casey twos for a few weeks.

Wheels and Robbo had last games to forget, but who cares? It was fantastic that they were both out there. Especially for Wheels that he was able to fall across the line for 150.

Sylvia, Frawley (Riewoldt bag notwithstanding), Morton, Jamar all fantastic. Jeez I can't wait for next year.

Bartram's game was good, but he let himself down with some silly handballs into traffic. Seems to lack a radar as to where he is in relation to teammates and opposition players.

Thing about Jetta and Bennell is that they certainly find themselves around the ball often enough, but are simply disposed of too easily by opponents. Need to work on core strength over the off-season.

I definitley thought he ( Rivers ) was a lot closer to his old self as compared some of the woefull outings of recent times. He ISNT his former self, but was better. Id still trade him though.

trading him might be going to extreme's I could think of many names you would trade before him. I just hope he gets a good injury free preseason in and is ready for 2010. For those that think he was anywhere near his former self don't have a very good memory, however yes he probably was better then other times throughout the year.

Once again, your hatred of McLean is staggering :lol:;)

either youre on drugs.. youve got the wrong bloke..you espied condemned's response to Joey or just incpable of lucid thinking. Might be all.

Where do I hate McLean ?? You were at the same game I take it ?? He certainly wasnt amongst our best but thought he did some good things.

Care to explain..can you

Sylvia - better earlier, handy

I was at a mates house and needed to use the toilet. Nearing the end of doing the buissness i realized there was no toilet paper in the holder. For a fleeting moment i thought the worst as I searched the room for another roll. I had nearly given up when i found a fresh one hiding behind the toilet. I thought to my self, gee thats pretty HANDY.

Cant belive you have ranked our best player of the day along side the softness of a two ply kleenex toliet tissue

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
