55 points, 103, 61, 64.

You sure hate to exaggerate hey.

Catch ya again after the next Blues game I suppose. Cheers.

103 is a big score you twit. And anything over 60 points this year has been an above average score.

And please, I'm basing my opinion of Levi on his whole career, not just week to week. This year, he is drawing the 3rd tall defender of the opposition because McKay and McGovern are their best 2 talls. He was quite serviceable last year, but before that, he was an average plodder in a [censored] team. His goal kicking has always been terrible, actually, I'd call it a liability. What his stats don't show, even since he has "improved" his goal kicking, is how many out on the full he kicks. These stats sucked you in just earlier this year, "he literally hasn't missed" I think you said. He had missed-he missed the whole bloody goals AND points on a number of times.

Casboult's greatest strength is his contested mark. It has been most of his career. But what's the point of taking pack marks inside 50 if your conversion is terrible? He would actually do our heads in as he rarely let's the ball hit the ground, which is what our game plan and forward structure is based around.

He's holding his own in a team that is playing well, more so because of the game plan that their coach has introduced. If you look at his form over the past month, he has stunk it up.

You clearly have a communication channel with someone associated with the club. Your mail is often quite accurate. But please understand that in this case, where you are using your own opinions (hopefully) rather than having them fed to you, that you are actually making a terrible call.

Average score so far this year (on quick maths) is 61. So hardly call 55, 61 and 64 "big scores".

Can't be bothered responding to the rest of your thinly veiled excuse for an insult post.

Cheers.

I walk into this thread thinking there is some relevant news re Jesse Hogan and there is an entire page wasted discussing whether we should target Levi Casbault. Stage 3 restrictions are really taking their toll. Can I suggest we all watch and enjoy tomorrow night's game as what is shaping to be a fantastic contest regardless of result.

Casboult is the saviour. 

Because that's what I said...

Clearly the concepts of list maturity & depth, the practicalities of list management and our trade position this year, player roles, team strengths & weaknesses are a bit above the pay grade, or perhaps attention span, of some.

 

Am a Jesse Hogan fan.

Saw thread had an update.

Am very disappointed.

Gee I thought this thread was about bringing Hogan back. I must be mistaken. In any case he can stay over West and play as many games as his body allows which I suspect won't be many.


Casboult for Brayshaw? Or would we have to throw in a second rounder? 

Edited by Ethan Tremblay

Reckon Casboult has a string of 3 or so games every year where he looks unreal & gets praised for his immense improvement only to fall off a cliff and carry on like his usual squid self the remainder of the season 

I thought this was going to be about Hogan.

Sorry just joining the stacks on the mill 

So Hogan is coming back?


Has Hogan been playing? I saw him in a couple of games but then he seems to have disappeared again

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
