Ha ha not Caleb Daniel I thought we were talking about Fred Bassett. Lol

I thought Fred Basset was about the same height as Caleb Daniel (at the shoulder, to be fair).

    We tried to move the ball better inside 50 this year at times. Certainly some flatter kicks to leads especially early in the year.

    The big challenge will be sustaining the risk and run off half back and through the midfield. Which we did improve on whilst it was tenable this year, before dropping back to long down the line footy once we had no midfield or flanker depth left to work with.

    Agree DS - in some of the early rounds the ball was delivered sharp and low forward on many occasions, so much so that I thought the days of bomb it long to the pocket heavy packs were possibly a thing of the past.  Sadly we reverted to type pretty soon.

    Agree monocular we looked pretty good early but we dropped off quite a bit as we lost key personnel and had torevert back to a more predictable defensive game plan to limit damage. We really do need Max, Tracc, Clayton and JV playing their best footy so that we can get the extra benefit out of Sparrow, Rivers, Langdon, McVee, Windsor, Kozzie, Chandler and Tholstrup through the middle.

    What about Ben Hart? Former team mate of Goody's, midfield coach at GWS...

    Chaplin back to forward coach.

    Hart to midfield coach.

    Bassett to defensive coach.

    Cameron Bruce to strategy and ball movement? Again, soft cap makes this unlikely.

    Soft cap will only be an issue if we remove someone from the FD who is contracted, aka Richardson.

    If we don't, then we shouldn't have issues with our soft cap. Goodwin is not exactly the highest paid coach around, and losing Stafford and McQualter has opened up cash to pay new assistants.

    It was interesting to see Dew at Brisbane and Leon Cameron at Sydney this year. I guess they didn’t need to move states.

    For anyone taking it serious this is a Broden joke by the way. 
     

    Hard to tell these days because footy reporters are accidentally funnier than comedians with footy podcasts.

    Melbourne fan and comedian known for Aunty Donna (sketch tv show that was downright awful IMO).

    Has a footy podcast that has gained a cult following. Not bad, certainly better than Gorringe Sportsbet lol lol lol, but not my cup of tea.

    Stewie Dew is cool (due to both his skills and heft) and Broden likes him because he’s cool and maybe a good coach so why not speak it in to existence?

    Something like that?

    The Footy Podcast (I listen through Spotify)

    One of the better podcasts out there in my opinion.Very light hearted and not for everyone but has certainly found a niche.

    The success he has with his podcast has got him a contract with channel 7 who identified the gap in media coverage. 

    If you love watching Footy Classified or the Sunday Footy Show then this won't be for you. 

    He was on Gus and Gawny in one of the last episodes.

    He did a 35 min podcast with Max Gawn before the grand final which is worth a listen even if you don't like his regular podcasts.

    Was he the one that did some podcast with Max on Saturday?

    I do agree with that though.

    With Stafford gone and Mini also it’s great that 2 new assistants are needed. Hope we get some be breed who are more adventitious and can take on Goody who isn’t as safe as he was with Kate as Pres.  

    Need aggression like Lions and players can play that way if given a licence viz 2018.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
