Max needs to show some leadership. Getting some treatment, but needs to work his way through it

Would normally be a bit more confident, but I feel recent changes to our lineup and gameplan seem to suit the MCG more now. A change from 2021/22 and I’m worried Adelaide Oval may present some challenges. Just a feeling… I am often wrong which is a good sign!

Will be a good watch on Salem. I trust the clubs judgement, but he was so out of touch last year when back from injury. Feel he needs a run in the VFL, but we will see. Love the idea of Rivers in the centre more, so if Salem offers that option, then I’m comfortable. TMAC while limited, offers more forward pressure than BB, rain and slippery conditions also favour him. Okay ins I guess.

Vanilla Porter is nice or the pale ale, with a Lamb or prawn pizza.. Last time I was there, I just sat down to see Viney fall across Gawns knee.. hoping for a better result this weekend.

They will have a small forwardline if Dixon doesn’t get up, so the TMAC argument covering injuries in our backline isn’t valid IMO. I think BB fresh is a different player. I think 3-4 hard games and his knees are shot. BB to kick 5 first up from a spell..

Aunty Jacks Ballarat

He is going to be “Special”

Time for Joel Smith to grab his spot. Could be his last chance.

What is your problem…? Do you even support the club!

Tribunal Tax.

Just landed in Melbourne, saw Petty injured on the AFL app- any updates on what it is and severity? Cheers

Young bloke sticking up for a team mate. If he was in Dees colours we’d expect the same. Like your passion, but we are better than that

Just back from dinner.. what did I miss?

The Brad Close tackle also a farce..

Hate to say it, but Ralphy generally has good mail.

The notion of taking your eyes off the ball is a joke. He was 10m away when he looked to see where the player was. He then tried to connect with the footy. If taking your eye off the ball is the trigger for suspension- how far back can you go? 20m? 50m?

Thanks for posting Dazzle.. worth it to hear Browny pronounce “Tribuneral”

Didn’t watch the game, so only going off other peoples points, but I agree Petty is a much better backman and critical to our defensive structure. May is badly out of form this year and from all reports had another poor game- would it be too outrageous for May to play forward for a few weeks? He is good in the air and would provide an option, plus physicality and pressure. Brown and Shaq do not bring enough pressure which is the key reason for Petty being preferred. Any thought on this?

Legend Binman.. MAFS can wait. You have sold me on the review, now can’t wait for the sequel.

Read one page of the postgame and it felt a bit like a train wreck. Will see how it goes tomorrow after 6 Beroccas

Didn’t watch the game due to an event. Should I give the replay a miss?

Gee this is the worst defending I’ve seen from a Casey team in many a year. Lost their DNA a bit this year from games I’ve seen.

Charlie Cameron is a toss

I think Fritta has always shown intensity. Maybe not manic chasing and tackling- but when the ball is in his area he is on the move, creates space and hit the packs when the ball is kicked in long. Maybe what I have seen from Jefferson is he appears a bystander. Didn’t say he won’t make it, but when his forward craft looks to be lacking and his willingness to be involved isn’t there, he looks a way off.

Was going to ask the same question. Have seen Jefferson on TV a few games and looks at a glance to have low intensity. Might be wrong, but to my eye he has a long way to go.
