No Casey boys here, except for Sesto and Hendo who are both confident they’ll be playing in week one of the finals

I wanted to ask Hendo about his groin and hoped it didn’t sound suss. His reply was “it’s all over the place at the moment.”

So yeah, he won in the sounds suss stakes 🤭

AMW is also here. He’s stretching and his recovery is coming along great guns.

His killer smile is on show today. It could stop world wars.

Everyone is buoyed by the Casey win. The seniors are so glowing in their praise for the Casey boys, super proud of them and it’s genuine.

Have they got the balls out yet ???

⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️🤣🤣🤣🤣

Geez, this year's flown!

It's been a shocker

They have and Clarrie’s team won. Salo was the match winner for them.

They do love their soccer!

All 23 who played on Saturday present other than McVee and Viney. TMac with the group so that seems to confirm that the half-time substitution was "tactical".

Henderson and Sestan both present as Ghosty reported. And AMW who is getting himself set for a big pre-season.

Jake Lever was running, and moving quite freely. Xavier Lindsay also present and working with the physio. Although only listed as one week in last week's injury report, I would be surprised if they rushed Xavier to play on Friday night.

No Windsor, McAdam or Hore.

None of the AFL listed Casey boys present today, given they played yesterday.

@bluey was miffed that Kozzie gave his jumper to Luke Breust. Firstly, Koz said he did it because he admires and respects Breust very much.

Secondly, it’s Kozzie’s jumper to do with as he so desires.

The players all have three home jumpers which are rotated throughout the season. At the end of the season one jumper is given to the player’s sponsor, one is auctioned and the third is the player’s to keep. Koz chose to give his to Breust.

More Uniform Fun Facts…

With every other jumper (away, clash, ANZAC etc.) the players have two jumpers in rotation. At season’s end one is auctioned and the player keeps the other.

The one person is responsible for the laundering of all jumpers, shorts, socks, training tops, the lot. He’s Jake the property manager and this is only one of his many tasks. He uses the laundry at AAMI which is a shared laundry.

This isn’t about the Club saving money, it’s about the Club worrying if they hired a laundry service there’s a chance some articles will go missing (not stolen, but lost).

And the burning question (for me anyways): why does Kozzie wear such big shorts? In particular, huge away (white) shorts. That’s because he prefers them that way. He also has his jumpers custom-fitted. Again, his choice.

Maysie is one-eyed. I mean, literally. His left eye is so swollen he can’t open it. It looks awful and when I told him it looks awful he said, “Yep. Chol got me… again.” ☹️

He must miss Tom Hawkins

Thanks Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters, great to hear that Seston and Henderson will be available for Finals, and I bet Chol doesn’t get cited for the hit on Maysie. I wonder what it is with the big shorts, in the early 70’s our shorts were pretty short and tight. lol.!!!

Who was the other player to where gigantic shorts? Was it Eddie Betts? Maybe it's a tribute.

So an early injury report reveals that Xavier won't be available for Friday night (and therefore done for the season, and Hendo (groin) and Jeffo (big toe) sound like they will be unavailable for Casey finals - but both are TBCs. Oli Sestan however is ready to go.....

How do we ascertain who’s available for the VFL finals?
