I was drinking at the game but.... I counted 6 goals that came driect from freekicks to saints. three 50m penalties that would usually not be called. and 3 free kicks including that blatent dive by Billings which if course won't get cited. can anyone confirm? this is not including the number missed frees to us in our fwd half. even how bad we played, we would have won easily if the umps were fair and unbiased. I'm not usually one to complain about the umps but I couldnt help myself this week

I’m doing Rye July, gonna be tough but I’m willing to give bourbon a good crack!

This is not a test of how good we are but our mental application and desire. Tge good thing is we have players in form at casey in most positions so that pressure help. Hogan to kick 8

Baker was terrific! Good size too. Could certainly see him on a wing in the AFL side

The new camera angles are driving me nuts! They change the angle and then have a close up and you have no idea where the ball is and who is open etc.

I believe we have improved from last year. we beat the teams below us. Like when we smashed the crows in Alice by 90

Never seen him play but Strengths are exactly what we need and weaknesses can all be irradicated by training/experience.

Adelaide have WC, Tiges and Cats so will be 6 wins 10 losses when we meet them. season over. we should beat them

laughable article. She is one of first who used to say the Melbourne Boys Club is ruining the place - before Roosy came along - and now past players and melbourne people 'arent happy'. what a joke. and Malthouse isn't happy? he signed that damn succession plan himself so he can complain about himself Pert oversaw a period of success at the Pies, won their first flag in 20 years and had them commercially flying. And to call him a discard after being a CEO for 11 years is disrespectful. Clearly they were very happy with him the majority of the time Jog on Caro

Loved his speech in front on the backline. Does not waste words this young man the morale and friendship amongst the group looks genuine and terrific. a critical part of any future success

I look at Richmonds team on paper and it looks good at best. but seeing them play they just get it done every time. Sydney played well and still didnt really come near them. no way we can beat the Tigers this year. we need a lot more mature bodies on the ground

which team has pick 88??

Petty and Weed IN Smith and T Mac OUT Trac/Hannan to play more fwd

IN - Weeds OUT - T Mac (injured) I wouldn't make any other changes. I know they are saying T Mac should be right and he is tough but you don't mess around with internal bleeding and bruising to the lung. Another hit in the same place on sunday and it would not be pretty (although I aint a doctor and will back the clubs medicos). We don't need Frost at the back as we have O Mac, Smith and Hibbo. Membrey only 188 and Bruce not playing

Trac will be a champion player. Power/burst players take longer to develop. as opposed to endurance midfield types. look at Dusty, took him 6-7 seasons to perform at a high level each week and run out games. Shopped himself around after 5 seasons and noone wanted him! we will need to be patient with Trac

Hogan will be fine. Last week no-one actually kicked him the bloody ball so that wasn't his fault. Against Port he was poor. He is an absolute gun and would be third in our BnF imo (behind Gawn and Oliver) and he LOVES the sainters. 6.0 comin up.

better last year when we lost to the Pies and North twice who were in terrible form. Just beat Carlton and lost to a terrible Freo at home? we are far better than last year and it will show at the end of the year. we are finally beating the average teams and a couple of wins against the good teams are just around the corner

other teams in contention are being hit by injuries and suspension which will help us: Darling/Kennedy at WC. Darling was the form player of the comp Treloar for the pies - best most damaging mid Burgoyne at hawks Cameron GWS probably 6 weeks is their only decent fwd I honestly think North are shyte and will be found out by the end of the season.

Weeds - cancel your 21st Bday party for this Sat night and get ready for a present from Goody!! ?

remember all the drafts that were meant to be the best since 2001? Spoiler alert - none of them were close.

The ‘frost is the answer’ crowd are back. He has not been playing well for casey before today. I’d like to see Him dominate at vfl level for a few weeks before him playing. He gets outsmarted easily at afl level so has some stuff to work on before players seniors imo

You must have not watched the game to closely if you think melksham was rarely sighted. He was one of our best

We are still mentally weak. The first 15 mins of the last quarter we looked like scared kids hoping not to stuff up. Aside from a few. Port out tackled and went in harder than us in the last. We got the rough end of the stick with umpires but we lost this game. Im sick of the excuses. I don’t want to be like a St Kilda fan whinging about umpiring. We lost that game ourselves. Hogan and Trac should be ashamed of that effort tonight

Port are going in harder and tackling more than us. This is why they are leading. Almost all free kicks have been there im sick of the excuses, just win the games melbourne!

what is the change for Port? cant open the link at work
