Just out of curiosity KC and Demonland did we recruit any tall timber in the off season apart from TJ at Casey or is TC and Will Verrall all we have as ruck stock??

TC is the man this year Dee Zone.

Bell our long time stand in when Verrall and Fullerton aren't available has gone elsewhere.

With Tom Mac and Jeffo in the seniors plus the possibility of TC being held back as an emergency we could struggle against North

Is Hardie injured? Missed out on Kirkwood-Scott, Doultree, Lewis, and Craven as the 23rd man. Peters emergency so my team was pretty close and obviously Langford replaces Woewodin.

Hoping Langford bangs the door down from the start. Clearances. Goals. Get it Harvey!

Mystery of the week

Really hoping Adams starts knocking down the door towards a senior selection over the next few weeks. I know he was named in the extended bench this week but hoping for it to continue and then get his chance

Do any VFL games get broadcast on free to air or other nowadays?

No, but many possible reasons. He might be injured, unavailable or simply not good enough (or not committed enough). Who knows - and we get so little info from Casey, we just have to guess at the reason, which is unfortunate. I’ve never seen him play, so I shouldn’t comment, but could it simply be that some DL’s have jumped the gun on this player?

He is a class above most on the Casey list NC when he turns up.

However, he is also the Scarlet Pimpernel of the VFL.

Mostly you need to stream them from the afl website. They are all there. Follow the menus.

He did just watch his opponent compete for marks last week without any pressure - just trying to crumb it at the front 🤯

Good when he has a go though.
