And wasted about 3 paras about BBB in total. BBB was named as an emergency last night so there is your answer I believe about his position. 
You are correct that Jefferson will develop quicker and better without too many other talls competing with him at Casey. Last week was promising and hopefully he can again produce that form and goals. 
 

Itsxa learning curve for some and very important for McAdams he played a full game this week to justify his performance for consideration for Seniors.

 
 

 

Unless my eyes are deceiving me 58er,  BBs been named in both of KC's lists at FF

    Does Kayo cover any VFL matches. Are there any streams online?

    Kayo no more.  The only stream is the AFL site via the VFL option

    The AFL site streams VFL games live. Coverage quality can be a bit of a crapshoot but it's better than nothing

    If there’s someone who can help us short term then take them and get George for more VFL games and training at the end of the year.

    But I’d be perfectly happy to take the gamble of all gambles on the mid season draft.

    He most likely wouldn't impact this year.  He'd not be fit enough for AFL footy and he'd take time to learn the gameplan.  Unless we think he is a long term prospect why draft him and give him a list spot when IMO we have much greater needs.

    He’d be no chance to impact this year but it would be a free hit rather than giving him a full year next year. 

    Logically the most likely result is he’s not in any draft and he could come train over summer for a proper look if he plays a few more VFL games.

    I’m just not sure there’s anyone out there who would impact right away and I don’t think we’re close enough to really sweat it. There might be a depth ruck or midfielder who has something to offer us this year but more than likely anyone we take is a project.

    Still not writing off Laurie.  Hope he plays well as he's a candidate to come in for either Billings or Chandler. Would obviously like McAdam to come in but he's played 2 quarters out of 8 and reckon he needs 2 full VFL games for match fitness.

    I'd like to see Laurie and McAdam in place of Chandler and Billings. Neither Chandler or Billings have set the world on fire.

    I also think Turner could be replaced by a tall. I reckon he's better suited down back even though he got 3 goals recently. I worry that Goodwin sometimes keeps faith in his players far too long during a game and sometimes for a number of games. We can only carry a certain number of players before we end up paying for it. You could say the same thing about strategy (taking too long to react) and assistant coaches ie why is Stafford an ex ruck coaching our forwards??

    I didn't see George play last week, but I saw footage of him from 2020 and he is very, very skilful. I'd take a punt on him now if he's keen. I reckon he'd be another Seston smokie

    George has played up in Darwin the last few seasons with Southern Districts. Same Club Steven May played Juniors with.

     

    Plenty of footage on Youtube as they stream the games

    Jeffo getting his hands on it early. So much better without the extra tall. One of Brown or Schache is ok. But both + Jefferson? No good.

    Must be Laurie's 4th turnover for the quarter.  Tomo about two or three also.

    Those turnovers have probably directly resulted in approx three goals already, maybe two at best.

    tomlinson again shows why he is not trusted in the afl - his decision making is simply not to the standard of our backline

    Yep, exactly this. It’s all good to rack up 35+ a week at Casey but when you kick out, dump kick out of D50 and consistently lose 1 on 1’s, the stats on the eye really don’t paint/tell the full picture/story.

    Laurie has kicked two absolute clangers

    Right idea from Bill to take the corridor but poor execution.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
