How is bail playing?

He's had a fair bit of it, playing well so far.

The only concern with Cook is that Darling looks like a ready-made star.

Star is going a bit far.

We needed a key forward. He is only 191cm tall. If we had picked up Darling we wouldn't have picked up Howe who is a similar size. We have a fair few players who can play third tall.

Stats Darling vs Howe

Fevola kicks his third followed by a goal from Max Gawn after receiving a 50m penalty.

The lead has gone out to 41 points.

Fev at the back of a pack runs in for his fourth.

Three Quarter Time

Casey 13.9.87

Werribee 7.8.50

First goal of the final term to Danny Nicolls on the run and the Tigers drop their heads a little.

Fev slots two goals to bring the lead out to 8 goals.

Fev has dominated the last 3 weeks

Neville Jetta who has been outstanding kicks a long goal on the run.

Fev slots two goals to bring the lead out to 8 goals.

Hes starting to make it hard for someone not to take a punt on him.

It's not a punt. He is a very very good footballer. At one stage he was one of the highest paid players in the afl.

If its not a punt how'd he go at Brisbane? Taking him is a gamble on the impact to your playing list and overall culture not on whether he can play. His form would be starting to make it a consideration for some sides

I think his payments at Carlton and Lions were a case of paying too much for clown to create a circus.

Agree. He is doing what you would expect Fevola to do at this level and more. With Caxey dominating midfield play he should be monstering VFL defenders. Not enough for my liking. And he takes the place an MFC listed player who could play forward.

He is doing the job similar to what Podsiardly did at clubs Werribee & Geelong before being placed on GFC rookie list and that is kicking goals.I am sure KC believes he is worth a punt,after getting fit and serious about his current footy he is averaging 6 goals a game over the last 5 weeks. Consistent and good- more than I can say for any MFC listed forward player.

KC - thanks again for your commentary.

Questions:

Cook in the 2s - how did he go?

McNamara - lots of possessions as a mid - is he due for a couple of games in the red 'n blue this season?

Fitzpatrick - not a lot of possessions but does he look the goods?

McNamara must be due for a call-up

McNamara must be due for a call-up

1. He's a rookie

2. He's to slow to be a midfielder at AFL level

MMMMM who else got the chop for being to slow, let me think, was it Greg Williams???? yeah and he was a dud!!

That was 20 years ago, times have changed. Mcnamara is a good vfl player. Prefer Jetta getting a go.

McNamara has to get another go soon surely

maybe keep him for one more year and give him a chance in the nab cup next year

Can Tmac still come off the rookie list, or did we waste the last spot on Campbell?

Stats Darling vs Howe

Those stats certainly surprized me. I am very happy to have Cook and Howe and look forward to both boys playing next year, after another pre season and some more gym work.

Don't forget Scott Thompson premiership player and who had 50+ possies for the Crows today.

Forget all the subjective b..sh.t ( he's slow, he's this, he's that) about these kids, the only way you can find out if they can play or not is to see him in action in the big time. We are prepared give some timid types 60 games+ without any great evidence they can play. Last week we also had two supposedly senior players who looked as if they were terrified.

Tommy Mac just keeps on performing which is exactly what the club would be hoping for.27 possies isn't a bad afternoon. Good luck to him, he's a bit of rough nugget who looks like a sheepdog but he approaches the contest in the correct manner.
