I wish my teachers wrote a report like Taylor Whitford did for KFW .....1 mark 1 disposal!!,

Participant award write up for KFW it seems.

If Whitford is going to do these weekly write ups then at least provide some real honesty amongst it. You can't expect fans to take him seriously if he's writing stuff like that on that performance already off the back of him averaging 1.0 disposals, 0.3 marks, 0.0 hitouts and 0.0 tackles in 3 VFL games he's played this year. Just call it as you see it.

On a different note, we're now seeing the full effect of the Clare Pettyfor appointment. Our media stuff of recent has improved since her appointment.

Amazing some on here see are saying he's 'soft' and 'Jack Watts' mk 2 purely because they've seen the way he's built and style or play. You can tell not many have actually taken the time to watch him play.

He kicked 39 goals last year just in the home and away season. Put that form into our side and he would have top our leading goal kicking. 

We'd be absolutely silly not to be asking the question at least.

Charlie Curnow is a brick with sticky hands, can smash a pack,  doesn’t play in the ruck either champ.

Jacob is brittle, all elbows and knees, with Valvoline hands.

You got it wrong. Just admit it.

You said he was too short for KPF which I outlined he's the same height as Curnow.

You're now trying to justify your argument by going completely off track.

Just own it.

Lack of height plays against him, not a ruckman or a key forward.

I would like to see him up the ground, half forward type.

Unbelievable...

He's the same height as Charlie Curnow 🤣

Until 2029.

Huge signing and shores up our forward stocks.

Yep its dissapointing that we invest so much effort and time / space into players 'like' Bradtke et al who've had zero exposure to AFL but choose to ignore looking into options who already have some pedigree in a very similar game offshore.

Why not widen our horizon and do both and then filter towards the option that you feel has the most upside potential?

I agree wholeheartedly and have been very vocal about this in the past.

We've been so fixated in going after raw ex basketball athlete's that have little to no football IQ and it shows in these VFL performances. 

No more Bradtke's and the Farris-White's of the world. 

I am in no way being critical of our recruiting team because they've got the credits in the bank, but I think if we are wanting to get developing talls through, put the attention into one's that are also genuine footballers like Will Verrall who looks like a solid prospect that will play games this year.

When was our last Irish recruit. Last one I remember was Tohill in about 1990.  I would think every other club has had at least one success or several (Cats) since

I get your point mate...but nothing ventured nothing gained.

We've tried with him and Bradke before and so far haven't had a win.

Personally I would have put more eggs into the Irish experiment where we were once leaders and came up with some real gems. 

I have no idea why considering we were the very first clubs ever in the AFL to pioneer the Irish experiment, we are realistically the only club now not willing to explore this as an option.

None of them are 206 cm though. Given his height and youth, he actually has more of a chance of making it in AFL football than gun Casey players who career journeymen and haven't made the AFL grade so far (statistically of course).

He'd struggle to get a kick in the Essendon District Football League at senior level.

He's not even a footballer. A guy that was plucked through basketball footage and a few athletic trial testing.

Either way, someone connected needs to ask the question.

Honestly a waste of carbon emissions moving 110kg down to Frankston to play 20 minutes at full forward. For the sake of the planet get the kid in local footy.

The genuine Casey VFL players who are missing out in a senior selection must watch in horror knowing they should be playing instead of a guy that has absolutely zero of what Football is.

The 50 he gave away was bizarre and shows his low footy IQ

he played about 10 mins, but deadset he may as well play at old boys level for a full game

He'd struggle to even play senior footy there and would end up in the reserves.. he's genuinely that bad.

Another scintillating performance by Kyah Farris-White. Certainly putting in the consistency in terms of disposal numbers.

Ffs get Oliver off 

That was [censored] soft by him. He needed to impact the contest and ran straight past without barely a wimper.

Insipid performance by our forwards and of course our senior players.

But this is genuinely pathetic for 3 quarters of footy.

Two weeks in a row Ben Brown can barely give a bloody contest. Genuinely soft efforts for such a big guy.

Young Van Rooyen named in WA 16s squad 

I have heard he is the talented one out of the lot??

I think there is a spot for Hunter this week.

Where?

On form alone he's certainly not taking Lamgdon or Windsor.

He can bide his time if need.

As an aside, I never liked Joel Selwood as a player but must admit that he is an excellent commentator -  an obvious coach in waiting. Much better than Luke Hodge who is an empty vessel.

Selwood is by far one of the worst commentators I've ever heard.

A prime example why a champion footballer should just stick to his lane and retire gracefully instead of making my ears bleed.

Is Hustwaite playing for Casey related to Hustwaite playing AFL footy ?

Yes

If Petty goes wont bat an eyelid...As long as we get some first rounders he is ...surplus to needs!

Don't get this.

You wouldn't bat an eyelid if he left yet you're still wanting a first round pick?

Okay.

[censored] amazing!

So bloody happy for Benny Brown ❤️

Big fella putting in a break out performance this weekend off the back of his 0 disposal effort last week.
