Hasn't been released even though they stated that it would be released on Monday...

Them pre game nerves...

Not sure if anyone noticed but watching the Charlie Spargo interview they had the backline group in a huddle where Steven May was obviously giving a speech. Angus Braydhaw was part of that back line group.

I think we're underestimating the loss of River's and Petty. River's for me has that speed and power in being able to play on the likes of Weightman, Hannan and Johanisson. Not only that, we lose his dash and long kicking out of defence. Watch the GF and you'll see he won some very crucial one on one's and also made some critical spoils. Huge loss for our team. Petty is the other that could play on Naughton and free up May, but also his reading of the play and intercept marking is so important for our defensive structure. I'm going to admit that having Hunt and Smith in the same side is giving me some serious concerns for tomorrow night. Smith has already shown that on high pressure games (Brisbane final) he struggles with his lack of game awareness and tends to fumble during crucial stages of thr game. Hunt is just way to unpredictable. I did not like his game against Carlton at all and thought he was lazy at times in defending. Just remember that this is a whole new year now. I think the doggies could win this comfortably and wouldn't surprise me if they do so. They would have taken some enormous learnings from the Grand Final and making sure it never happens again. Just feel like we're a tad unbalanced down back.

Jesus.. Its ridiculous how extremely cool and calm Goody was even in the 3rd when we were 19 points down. He called it immediately after that Fritsch goa that we were back on when most of us were probably still a nervous wreck (I certainly was). We're incredibly lucky to have Simon Goodwin leading this club. In matter of fact how lucky are the playing getting to play under his guidance.. "Great day to be alive lads"

Hunt and Joel Smith in the same baseline looks way too shaky for me.

Watching the captains runs footage on instagram I can see Dunstan, Bedford and Weideman. I presume these guys will be our emergencies tomorrow night.

For anyone wondering what exactly this documentary is here is an example below of what to expect.

It's called Sound the Alarm documentary. Odd that the thread title was changed from its actual name of the doco..

First sign of team selection.

Jake Nial is a complete mess. This is the same guy that predicted Simon Goodwin to be the first coach sacked. He's now salty that he got it all wrong. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.nine.com.au/article/945d7932-4c57-4405-8a72-abe8c43346bd

So how does it work from a list perspective? Do they now train with us full time and play at Casey every week? Or train and play at Casey until called up for top ups?

Ffs these flogs genuinely need to get over this.

Look I'll be honest, I already knew how incredibly soft Schache is. We all knew this from when we worked with him through the Murray Bushrangers system back in his under 18's days. He was a high talent and Darren Ogier the bushies coach at the time would make him do extra competitive work after training to try and toughen him up a bit. This was a direction given to him by recruiters. Watching his progress over the years not much has changed. JUH is more down to attitude problems and whether he applies himself to his training and diet off field.

I reckon Tim English is one of the softest players running around in the AFL. For a guy his size he's scared of his own shadow. The rest of the doggies team are pretty hard and fair which I agree with.

Article pre draft regarding Finn and Howes friendship. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/giants-consider-drafting-mates-to-counter-go-home-factor-20211117-p599m4.html On the other hand, if the Giants drafted Callaghan and opted against picking Howes with their next selection, Victorian clubs would be aware that picking the latter could give them an opportunity to reunite the pair in the future. Callaghan is comfortable in commencing his career interstate and appears almost certain to do so, with Gold Coast and Adelaide set to select after the Giants, but the nature of his longstanding friendship with Howes has given clubs an extra element to ponder when considering the duo at the draft.

I too reckon this could be a big watch this space. They've legit grown up with each other since kindergarten. I read an article pre draft with hot extremely close not only Finn and Blake but their families as well. There was even an article that GWS strongly considered Blake Howe with their early pick in the teens so that they could have the two best friends together. So obviously they've identified that there could be some home sickness there already. Jason Taylor was interviewed by Callum Twomey mid last year and he named Finn Callaghan as an early draft prospect that impressed him the most alongside Daicos.

Essendon?

You've just answered your own question.

I don't know too much about except that he has genuine X factor and can run all day. With a bit of exposure to semi professional level he could hopefully follow in the footsteps od Bayley Fritsch. Jack Lonie and former Giant Sam Reid have been added to Casey's list.

Anyone heading to Casey for tonight practise match against Richmond? Would love a good match report..
