BB's Football Department Review

Red and Blue Flame

1. Jones is a core player right now, he played every game. He MAY get overtaken by 2,3,4 of these younger players but they havn't yet. Why can't we deal in the here and now, not predictions.

2. Bennell kept wonna out because wonna was injured unfit or wasn't performing. Bennell has never been a core player for us, useful because he is quick. Not core. Jones' good games were better than Jamie's and his worst ones weren't as bad, which is why he played 22 games and Bennel didn't. Bail wouldn't have been dropped "for matchup purposes" if he was as a core player (or better than Jones for that matter). Morton has had a bad year and got dropped because of it.

3. Gysberts has played 3 games. There are no players at any clubs who can play 3 games and be a core player. He is a teenager who has had 3 good games, that is all he is.

4. PJ is no star, but he is the clear 2nd choice. If there is daylight between Jamar and PJ, there is at least as much between him and Spencer. Too risky geting rid of him.

5. Warnock might get a 3rd round.

6. There are several VFL players who have outperformed maric, probably several Casey players who have.

There are plenty of players in school ranks that would have been better than Maric & many AFL stars. They always are, & yes there is players at VFL that are currently better than Maric,,, just as there was plenty better than Jamar, but not many with better Upside. Maric is still developing & it's too soon to say how far he will go, only that he needs to get the Lead out. He's started to this season, show some exciting form,,, but equally has been frustrating to, but thats the problem of he,,, who's frustrated. He'll make it, or he won't, but it's a year too soon to say, yet.

    You didn't think Jamar is very good to elite?

    As mentioned, he has another year like this year he goes becomes the A grade, but this is one season of very good football, he needs to back this up next year.

    We all have our pet players that we like and players no matter what they do we dislike, Cam Bruce is one you either like him or you don't, if you don't you see the negative if you like him you back him, Jones is also getting this. I think looking at our list you need to assess as developing players. I assess our list as per below

    ....

    B Grade Potential

    Blease, Gawn, McNamara, Petterd, Tapscott, Aussie, Strauss, McKenzie

    ...

    Absolutely laughable - I'll use the above bracket as an example:

    Blease, Tapscott & Gawn have not played a single AFL game; Strauss & McNamara 2/3 each

    Good grief. :mellow:

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
