Yes in saying all that a lot can changed. Patty Dangerfield on radio the other day said he was really homesick the first year or two but after a while once you build friendships with players, coaches etc its just to walk away..

In Jesse's case this could be particularly different too. He will have 23 years here, finish his schooling here, and will turn 18 here, so he will get to go through the 'have a few beers at the pubs and clubs' etc with new friends he has made in Melbourne, both from the club or others, not with his high school mates. He won't be doing schoolies trips etc with those sorts of guys. I know you make lots of friends, but those sorts of bonds can be what drags someone back. 3 years is a long time to be away from your friendship group and pick it back up as well. Family will be the big calling I reckon.

It'd be interesting to see how Magner and Couch would go together in the seniors.

Is Couch likely to be elevated to the senior list at the end of the season?

part of our debt was to bail out casey.

I thought the dees were a better side when affiliated with Sandringham.

Perhaps the senior players suffer jet lag when they train at casey.

The city of Casey is really going ahead though, I hope we stay affiliated with them.

It's a growth area and if we can gain some support from the locals - it will pay off in the long run.

Get your facts right.
