He should be careful. That can result in haemorrhoids!

Re your second paragraph: I reckon the likes of Craig McRae would be shaking his head when watching us train.

Early start here in Reggio Calabria (0520h) so cinque (5) more birra and bed. Shoutout to @samcantstandya

I've mentioned this and nauseum, and I'll say it again. The 'farm thing' is real. I've lived on the Surf Coast for 50 years. I know Danger's family, Cookie et al. The Cats have Nigel Austin (Cotton On) and the Costa group as major sponsors. Both are both Billionaires (capitalized on purpose). The club and players want for nothing. The club is planning to build a $20m 'community facility'. $10m donated by the aforementioned sponsors. The Cats rort the system. Costa fought the Australian mafia and 'won'. He schooled BC. Taking on the AFL is kid's stuff. The AFL is powerless. A joke. No league in the world can control off the book payments If the Cats wanted Clarrie they could get him tomorrow. Same for any player in the league.

I'm not sure some of our assistant coaches are 'up to scratch'. The last three years we've had as many, if not more, players go backwards as have progressed. I remember attending a B&F some years back when Scott West was our midfield coach. It was noticeable how many of our players were effusive of his coaching when receiving of their awards. I've rarely heard similar mention of our coaching staff since.

A suggestion: approach Specsavers to sponsor the flags.

Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow (Steven Wright).

I love Milkshake but he's chance of a contract extension is slipping away on the back of today's performance. The gap between his best and worst is huge.

You're right. As much as I hate Chris Scott he's on record as saying he made scoring accuracy (from i50?) number one priority a couple of years back. We have so many players who are content to 'just have a ping'. Trac, Sparrow et al today.

ABC radio reported that Kozi was targeted late in the first quarter (two blows behind play). A possible reason for his drop off in the second half?

I just don't think any club would take him unless we covered a good portion of his salary. There's no way I'd be doing that.

Might be an option save for the fact that we have a team of list cloggers (there, I said it) at Casey. Save for MJ, and possibly Brown, Mentha.

Time to play the kids. Do we have any?

Crows had their chance and … got it right.

Lever?

Like Petty - a protected species. Needs the wake up call that Fritta and JvR copped.

Didn’t we spend all summer on a new game plan?

Photos of the coach?

I've been saying it for a while - we need to have a good long look at our assistant coaches. There's no connection between Gawn's dominance and our midfield. And no improvement in our forward 50 entries for the best part of four years

On the SEN app I believe.

ABC radio has been decked twice behind play.

I gather Trac missed the flight. I'm listening from Italia. Just thought he might be here.

Yep. Kozi getting unders.

19 goals from his last 32 games. A key forward? Give me a break. Disco would have 19 goals in less than 10 games.

Somethings never change - goal efficiency 33.3% v 18.8%.
