we were much better when ball came in low with Bowza playing as his positioning was so good. Still can't understand why he didn't play finals - was BOG for Casey.

agree, so seems little point in re-contracting them, especially Melksham

Now to make that Jack Russell, Peter Bell, sweat and squirm.

I plead the fifth.

let's hope we don't have an annus horribilis.

Who ever we get make sure he is a bloody Victorian.

It is easy to see how it would be hard for him to resist the coin he will get from playing in his home state. Do I want him to do well in WA? - not really.

Kane Cornes is the Andrew Bolt of football. Making a career of being a contrarian but at the end of the day is inconsequential.

I guess my main frustration was watching us regularly give up significant leads and fall away in the last halves. It was not just a problem in finals but more systemic so I guess I'm looking at it as a glass half empty.

I don't think losing 2 home finals to interstate teams can be spun as a good year. More like a great opportunity lost.

Crossley is hilarious - looks like a hybrid 70s porn star and Mick " galloping gasometer " Nolan.

Watching the Sun vs Sharks - I must get a life. Very poor standard. No way should Casey lose to either of them

I think we were much better with JJ on the wing and Gus and Bowza down back. I doubt the Lions would have got those late goals with that arrangement.

No, just an innocent enquiry.

I saw Yze and many players at the game - but not Goodwin. Not sure if that is correct but not great if so - especially coming up to exit interviews

A concussed nose

Weed just might turn out to be the Jackson replacement in the second ruck. Has had a good game

Bedford goes to ground a lot. A travesty that Bowza can’t play next week. A travesty that he didn’t play last night.

For the life of me I can’t see what Joel Smith has to offer

How was the around the neck not paid to Bedford when the Mathieson was. Pathetic

Tomlinson on fire

It really irritates having to watch JVR taking contested marks at Casey when last night we had nothing up forward. FMD

Mathieson, cheating bastard. Incompetent maggots

To lose 2 home finals is totally unacceptable and reflects a poor performance from both players and coaches. Mistakes kept repeating themselves and there was no attempt to make the necessary changes to personnel and game plan. The high number of out on the fulls, down the field frees and 50 metre penalties were responsible for a lot of goals and probably the difference between winning and losing. A disciplined and focused side would not have made those mistakes. All the talk about wanting to perform well in front of a home crowd now seems like empty rhetoric because it was not backed up by action on the field. Everyone at the Club needs to have a long hard look at themselves.

Poor selection, poor coaching, poor application. Totally unacceptable to be regularly run over in the second half. Sparrow, Rivers, Spargo, Jackson, Hunt not up to it. Pickett’s I’ll discipline is a real problem. So much for all the talk about wanting to perform for the fans at the G - yadda, yadda, yadda.
