binman 44,807 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Annoyed this game is on at the same time as the seniors. Live nearby and would have gone. Great ground on the rare occasions it is not blowing a game. Quote

Diamond_Jim 12,772 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Magnificent site for footy on a nice day. Fish and chips on the Esplanade and a short walk to the ground. The site of ships sailing past the outer wing has to be seen to be appreciated. 3 Quote

More to learn at this game about our chances in 2020 than attending the G. Decision time will be tonight when the teams are announced. 1 Quote

Know how you feel but I think I will still manage to get a whole section of the AFL members to myself for this one so I'll head along to the G. Weather on Saturday could be a bit wild and woolly.

Could be the deciding factor as poor weather at willy is like the visiting the south pole. Noticed the MFC are giving away tickets for the G match. Must be expecting a big crowd!!!!!! Quote

I did mean Sunday but had a senior moment I still have flashbacks to GWS' first win at the MCG which was of course against us in a game that we were expected to win easily. They hired a cheersquad which consisted of four or five guys dressed in orange banana suits. That day GWS just ran rings around us with outside run after a good first quarter by MFC IIRC. I fear that Sunday could be the same. Quote

I swear by the fact that if the tide was coming in the ball always did more than when it was out! Took some good Wkts there! In Winter I played 1 game of footy there on a shizzen day, a south wester with rain coming in sideways. I reckon I was close to Hypothermic and therefore Death by the end of the first quarter. Picture this 18 blokes at half time in the showers trying to get warm still in footy gear!!! If it rains there it is ALWAYS Shizzen!! At least the game is on Sunday which gives selectors flexibility and Casey some options Edited May 23, 2019 by picket fence Quote

spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Hope to see Lever, Hannan and Jkh back. All will be on managed minutes. Lever probably to play 3/4 qtrs at least. 1 Quote
Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,791 Posted May 23, 2019 Posted May 23, 2019 Ummm Harmes / Fritsch / Stretch named in Casey team ??? According to Instagram Quote

According to Instagram All the players named on the extended Melbourne bench get named at Casey, it’s just how it works. Harmes is very obviously not going to play there. Stretch and Fritsch might though. Quote
Diamond_Jim 12,772 Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 so Weideman, Spargo, Lewis and Preuss are playing for Casey. Some very solid inclusions... Williamstown are sixth on the VFL ladder as against Casey who are ninth so it could be a good game weather permitting. 2 Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 What’s the odds Lewis playing for Casey. About 30% likely imo. Quote
