Oozing Away

Needs to get serious about his professionalism from what I’ve heard, if he does the sky is the limit. He’s definitely talented enough but has to build his tank so he can play midfield at AFL level.

Cheers for the insight. Takes some longer than others to understand the professionalism required. Hopefully he works it out sooner rather than later.

Makes me wonder why our match selection committee continued to reward him with so many senior games off no form.

At least three voices...

Up to six now!

shirley noah yze is a better than buckley's chance - ahem - to be at mfc in 2026

Not just him. But perhaps they wanted to show him how far off he is and how serious he needs to get to make it. We invested a lot in him. Traded up and away to get his pick. He needs to come good.

Why would Campbell knock that ball into a dangerous spot? Surely you thump it for a behind. Mind boggling.

Pretty sure it’s a free kick if the ruckman taps it through directly.

Half time at Casey Fields

Casey well in control by 44 points

Casey 11 goals 5 behinds 71

Willy 4 goals 3 behinds 27

laurie interviewed at half time and asked about what he needs to do to get into the afl - "i need to keep working to improve everything; if i want to be picked i need to take a spot from viney, claz, or trac"

great first half from him fwiw

My guess is because these things are complex. He seems to be a confidence player as well; perhaps they felt he was someone who would respond positively to encouragement and support and self belief rather than to punishment and being chastised?

...and one might be his Dad, who's watching from the outer!

I can see Yze and Kentfield in our forward line next year, Kalani White as an option ad well.

All good points as well.

It is much more complex than"drop them to put a rocket up them".

Isn't it a free against if the defending ruck knocks it through?

Thanks.... did not know that but I don't think I've seen a ball up on the goal line in years

TC take a bow son. Sesto was fab in much of the 2nd

Loved Bill's desperation spoil deep in defence too

Commitment over the ball and willingness to chase / tackle was first class.

Keep bringing the heart & second effort we saw in that 2nd and we're on track

gotta get noah yze on to the list next season

he's a pompadour away from being fritsch-alike

Yze, Brown, Woewodin, White, Rigoni. It's throwback central around the club of late!

Go Casey! Bring it home.

So am I correct in thinking we can no longer take young Noah under Father Son? Assume he would nominate for the draft now and be open to all clubs including Dees.

Yes it is, having a seniors moment 😬

What’s the story with young Yze? Can we draft him under the father/son?

Mentha coming along very nicely indeed.

Him Sesto & TC (as a Max managed option at times) surely get a number of games at senior level in 26

Cool the Jets on yze.

Good converter but has taken two uncontested marks i50, received a downfield [censored] and a [censored] in a marking contest. Had one good assist where he read the ball well off the pack.

Culley is a weird one. He's such a brute but often can try too much on his own - it's a weird comparison but in traffic he reminds me of Brodie Grundy....when he was with us he would smash through bodies and just always seemed to try too much....teammates couldn't read him and often ended up turning it over. A negative synergy player.

Not saying Culley is that, but he needs to use his power to beat one man then dish to space

Not now

We had a look at him last year and he wasn't ready. This is his best game that I've seen. Will he make it? Like his size for a flanker

no way, when a father-son kicks 4 to half time in a vfl elimination final shout it out loud!

interesting comparison with culley

kolt is a bit the same - he's good in congestion but his decision making is sometimes a worry
