Checking the math here, 3 plus 2 = 5. Between them they have 5 of the top 3 draft picks. Please explain!

If we get the wins we won't need the percentage.

Fair call, TMac has said his ankles (I think) are not up to playing forward anymore but I do like him as a forward. Petty is already there and offers very little in the ruck. Do you at the least see the value of AJ as a disruptor? I think he plays because he offers real aggression and cuts a path opening the game for those around him. I would keep AJ until someone at Casey finally realises what is required, or as you say give TMac a go.

I also disagree with you Picket. AJ is doing his job, he is not pretty or skilful. He breaks opposition defences structure. Currently no one at Casey is doing a better job. Max gets to rest and AJ is serviceable. I am interested who you think fills the 2nd ruck forward roll better at the moment.

This is an interesting argument WSY. Do helmets mitigate the damage? All reports that I have read seem to support your notion, however logic suggests that a helmet would help to reduce severity. I for one would prefer to be wearing a helmet if kneed in the head. Would it stop concussion? Possibly not, but it seems absurd to think that it could not limit severity.

Rename the MCG to the Max Captain Gawnium

Geographically challenged? MCG to Tullamarine is 26km MCG to Dingley is 29km MCG to Casey is 52km Please check facts first.

You're a pedant! And so am I.

And wasn't he exciting to watch!

@Oxdee doesn't like facts. Oxdee ignores them and prefers to cherry pick information. Don't expect a reply. Edit. Or maybe go full coward mode with "I don't read replies or responses " 😄

Oh, your back. Have you looked at the facts and realised that you were wrong claiming Fritsch as the best forward playing for us in 50 years? Or are you planning on disappearing again?

? Fritsch 149 games 252 goal 1.69 goal per game Jakovich 54 games 208 goals 3.85 per game I haven't looked at the others. Edit Lyon 1.88 per game Robertson 1.87 per game Farmer 2.19 Etc, etc So other than false truths what have you got?

Some players don't get ruck craft. (Or don't want to) Protecting the drop zone, early contact, switching arms, lifting your knee, turning in your leap, having and sharing your plan etc. Cam Pederson & David Schwarz got it and were not 2m plus. But it hurts.

Allen Jakovich, Gary Lyon, David Neitz, Russell Robinson, Jeff Farmer and Brad Green spring to mind. Who would you rather have, any on my list or Fritsch?

North 4 in a row! I love to know the parameters. (Your turn to throw the dart Alby.)

I haven't been to an AFL match in over 4 years. I have been MCC/MFC member for over 20 years. I never miss a match on TV even when overseas. I consider my membership a donation to the club! Am I pathetic? I take umbrage to the suggestion. Calling a supporter pathetic shows a lack of empathy and intellect. You know who you are. If I could say go [censored] yourself to your face I would.

I thought Langford was disappointing. Looked slow, overwhelmed and out of his comfort zone. I have concerns about big junior players that dominate until they reach the big league where most players are big and fast. Hope I'm wrong. XL looks class 👌

That's easy for you to say 🙂

Could we use opening bounce as the term for commencement of proceedings?

Kick off? What is this kick off? 🙂 Anything like when the lights go out? Or after the flag drops or when the referee says play. Asking for a friend.

Funny, the site seems to be faster today.

Correct, you are no meteorologist. You know it can rain when it is hot. Looking at the forecast it predicts 7mm of rain by 11am. I know they are often wrong. My guess, light rain before lunch and drizzle in the afternoon and I am no meteorologist 🙂

So if we win the flag we are zero, the runners up are first? Now I get it. The lunatics are running the asylum!

Only two options? I find it interesting when people only see one alternative. It's not black so it must be white, and skip straight past puce, magenta and lilac. 🙂

Warning points? 😄
