POSTGAME: Rd 04 vs West Coast

[BDA 22,753]

Always enjoyable belting west coast. Thoroughly dislikeable mob. 

[Bang Bang Bang 5,826]

That score review guy needs to be fired. Looked like a goal to me, at worst it was worth a closer look. I'll be bringing this up in August if percentage becomes a factor! Plainly unprofessional.

Good solid scrappy win. A 10 goal margin was probably about par. Grundy is a freak of nature. 

 

 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Well it wasn't pretty but we got the Easter eggs.

Vineys back and so is Fritta.

Grundy still going gangsters.

Tmac has returned and Kozzie out for 2 weeks could have kicked six.

McVee and Hiibberd great in our baxkline.

Using our wings again to create opportunities. 

Any win against eagle supporters is a goid one.

Petty back behind the ball, BBB up forward

[doc roet 1,287]

Good warm up for the battle of the titans tomorrow. Go Hawks.

For all the whining about the umpires (not entirely unjustified), we won the free kick count 22 to 16.

Completely justified in fact. No advantage that I could see to either team, there was just simply no consistency. I use the cliché reluctantly, but the adjudicating out there was a raffle. For evidence, just look at the centre bounce ‘call backs’ alone. It’s an embarrassment to the game. 

[BDA 22,753]

Good to see tmac find some form and jvr snag a couple. Fritsch oozing pure class as usual. Nice percentage boost and no injuries.

bring on the bombers

[spalding 1,128]

I love being a good team. Underwhelmed by a 10 goal win in Perth

Grundy slowly hitting vintage AA form. Imagine Pies fans watching that. 

They carp on about the fact that if they kept Grundy, they couldn't have brought in 4 players during the trade period, being McStay, Hill, Mitchell and God knows who else.

It's quality, not quantity filth fans.

Salem should take Bowey’s spot IMO. 

Salem should earn his way back through the VFL at this point. 2021 was a long time ago now, and he hasn't played too well in over a year (not his fault - but true all the same).

McStay is a potato 

[chook fowler 19,458]

McVee won’t be back at Casey anytime soon. Love his balance and composure. JJ looked very good when he came on. Chandler is now a fixture. JVR is a beast. A lot to like.

[BritishDemonFan 55]

Was Hibberd injured? AFL app says so but I didn’t hear the commentators mention anything during the 4th quarter?

Petty was probably our one negative from the day. Never looked settled in the forward line, lost some easy one-on-ones and was moved back to defence.

Think BBB might have to bide his time at Casey until the opportunity presents itself

Memo to AFL

If you're going to do goal line reviews get a camera and a replay that inserts the goal line

that shot on the final score was atrocious

Agree.    It’s great to have a strong team 

dies not matter you earn your position in The side.  Go dees.  Enjoy the win Anthony and the boys

Maybe we worry about Salem when he’s ready to return …

That 50m penalty against Hunter was one of the worst I have seen.

No. Subbed out in the last for JJ. Not injured. Just managed. 

[Tom Dyson 1,633]

Love Chandler's efforts, works hard in the forward 50 but runs back just as hard in defence. 

He doesn't want to give up that spot any time soon by the looks.

Thanks - I thought so, just wanted to double check.

Very true, spent Easter with some Filth fans (the things you do for family peace...).  They were adamant that it was a good call to get rid of Grundy and that they'd be fine even with Cox out.  Said it's better to have players all on the same pay packet rather than someone on more like Grundy.

[DeeMee 873]

Essentially what Collingwood saved getting rid of Grundy only paid for McStay.

Great professional win.

McVee, Grundy, Fritta, TMac, Viney, Hunter, Rivers, Sparrow all good.

Must keep JVR in. 
Might be a game changer for Trac’s confidence in front of goals.

Didn't really notice but no doubt Clarrie had plenty.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Kozzie 2 goals 5 points in his return game. Hes gonna kick a bag very soon.

(Hope its against the Bummers next week).
