I think Jordon injured his foot or ankle. 

Bowey is the really interesting one.  My theory is that in the Geelong game they rag dolled him and was dropped so that he could bulk up.  Will come back bigger and stronger next year.

Yes he got injured in the VFL up in Brisbane where he racked up 35 possessions in Casey’s only loss for the year. Someone stood on his foot late in the game unfortunately. He was the Medi sub the night before.😪

I watched some of the stream but it dragged on too long. I was also disappointed that they didn't show more of the audience as I was hoping to see @WalkingCivilWar.

I reckon she would have been easily identifiable . 

A deranged looking ranga with an autograph book the size of The Pink Pages and blinding  all with the constant flash of irritating  selfies.

A case of 'he who protests too much...' perhaps.😉

Maybe you and @WalkingCivilWar should get a room!

Top 5 comprised of a Pick 2, 3 and 4.
F/S that would have gone top 5 and a bloke traded in with pick 6

Would be nice to have a pick at the pointy end again this year

Yeah but how is Taylor going with picks in the 50s!! That’s where the real mettle grumble grumble fart!1!1

Jackson finished a surprisingly high equal 13th.

Interestingly Jackson and Spargo averaged the same B & F points per game. I’m pretty sure this means Charlie is also worth 2 first rounders on the open market.

No doubt. Providing he doesn’t get injured he will win most years. Coming into his prime and already the best is I’ve seen behind Ablett jr.

His in close work at the stoppage is really like nothing I've ever seen.

You make tough decisions early so you don’t end up doing a Collingwood who will be paying around $700K next for players not on their list

its clear we don’t see Hunt as part of our plans and the coaches expect Bowie etc to replace him next year 

While that's probably correct the fact remains Bowie needs 10 kgs and an extra 10 % of pace if he's going to be a long term player.

Bowey has a high footy IQ and is an excellent kick remember what they said about Diesel Williams to short, too slow.. he showed them.!!!

I don't dispute his " weapons";Spargo has a high footy IQ as well,that's why I have them waxing up forward.

The Diesel I recall weighed 88 kgs,had a low centre of gravity so you couldn't ragdoll him and his handball is more like and actual accurate Trac kick into the forward line than Clarrie's extraordinary extractions from under a pack.

I just reckon Bowey needs 10 kg's and that's a lot

Aaaand… de-friended. 
 

JK Luci! I’d never de-friend you. For starters, we still have our plan to co-parent Jayden once the adoption papers are signed. Right? RIGHT???

You didn’t look hard enough you old letch. I was hard to miss for I was a “vision in white” according to my neighbour who’s 89yo and blind in one eye and has impaired vision in the other. But I’m taking it!!!

And no autograph book. That’s only for training sessions, and it’s a guernsey. Autograph books went the way of the dinosaur aeons ago. But guilty as charged re the unceasing selfie opps. At one point I got a selfie with Kozzy and his cuz Chase Burgoyne taken by Ricky Lever (!) such was the abundance of willing selfie participants. And when I say “willing” I mean “will do anything to get rid of her.”

You mean like Caleb Daniel 170cm and 71kg, 153 games so far at 26yo?

I think Kolt looks like he’s im

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
