Jake had a couple of poor seasons that saw him dropped a few times. Very inconsistent Things clicked last year so hopefully he can recreate that form. But he won’t transform us

Surely Melksham needs some touch and match fitness after 9 months out. 3/4 game for Casey then back in

And Witts went back on too. I assume everyone is going to crucify the Suns medical department like they did with us about Trac coming back on? It's almost like they can't do CT scans on the bench isn't it?

i’m trying to imagine a marking contest with players running and jumping at the ball while their knees are not up, and i can’t imagine it. it’s mechanical. to jump high the knee comes up. can’t see how anyone could implement a rule change around this.

Fristch is 5th for AFL goals since 2020 in the entire league! and he is not even a tall fwd! and he is a Casey VFL upgrade One of our true success stories

Too predictable. This thread? indeed

who would you drop assuming Petty is not injured? fwd line starting to click. a little bit at least

maybe just turn up and get a ticket at the ground? if they are free, why do they even need a ticket? Hope we get a win

2,000 is an amazing turn out Although not a good day to be on BBQ duty! Woolies run needed! :-)

I can confirm it is, as I try to work from home with 2 crazies asking me "what are we doing today??"

yeah fair enough i agree with some of that technically though May held his head and got the free based on that. Maynard got the free and player sanctioned for exaggerating the chest hit. the head holding while poor form but did not generate any action.

it’s just my opinion. May deserved a fine. Clarry didn’t. May pretended something happened that did not which is different to exaggerating contact. that’s the point i’m trying to make. no other reason for me posting. but i’ll stop now and let people vent.

Clarry exaggerated contact with a slight push and went down and got an off the ball free and no staging fine quite relevant.

The umpiring is just as ****house as it was 10 years ago i try to ignore it but it is hard sometimes

yeah that’s no good. The AFL likes to pretend exaggerating contact doesn’t happen so they box themselves in a corner i guess? dunno

try some mustard on the beat

what staging for a high hit? that doesn’t make sense. He wasnt trying to get a high contact free, he exaggerated the contact like we’ve seen Clarry and countless others do. remember that soft push when Clarry went over and got the off the ball free, it happens the hand wringing in this thread is ridiculous

The two years he has been fully injury free are 2018 and 2021. That should you an idea how good he is. So unlucky with health problems and injuries. One of our most skilled and level headed players. And key to our culture, similar but not quite to the level of Gus. Hopefully has many years in him and I will be there for his 200th you can count on that

what is doing a Melbourne these days? finishing top 4 like past 3 years and winning a flag? or you thinking further back?

If Trump can make a comeback, maybe Grant Thomas is next?

i expect bombers and cats to miss finals both terribly out of form Port maybe not sure we will take one of the spots though. we do play better against good teams so i’m happy to play decent sides

Good to see WC saving their energy for next week 🙄

No point looking at how other teams are going to see if we can make the 8. if we win a couple I’ll start looking

Remember all those on here that wanted us to sack Goodwin and bring in Ross? lol He is paying off his mortgages and couldn’t give AF

Horne Francis was so much better than the rest today looked like a VFL run for him
