Me to, love his strength, aggression and team play. I hadn’t linked the two but the Kolt is similar to ANB just a bit bigger and more skilled.

I was so happy and relieved that we were lucky enough to pick up Harvey “The Bison” Langford in the draft along with Xavier “Spreadsheet” Lindsay. I felt that Langford was top 3 material and SONS had mentioned both boys a number of times during Coates League games, they are mature beyond their years and yesterday was Harvey’s day to ⭐.😁👍

Thanks DD that was a huge team improvement on our previous five weeks, we looked and played like the Team that we had become used to watching. Huge confidence booster when you consider no May, McVee or Rick then losing Disco before half time through that reckless knee in the head when he was playing so well really put us under pressure down back. TMac really mustered the backline magnificently.

Tom was no world beater but I thought he played his role well and gave Max a chop out and set up that goal for Chandler, you can only beat who you are playing on. He deserves a second game and who knows.

You could be right Redleg but he was very good in the Men’s department today.

Clayton was massive in that last quarter he sure took some knocks and never faulted.

6 - Kozzie set the game up for us 5 - Max made sure we won it 4 - Jake Bowey was that his best game ever 3 - Harrison Petty dominant display 2 - Trent Rivers great all round effort 1 - Jack Viney welcome back champ.

Roost it think back to 2014, PJ, Roo’s the wins started to come again the anticipation the influx of top end talent plus mature players coming our way, 2016 critical wins, SG taking over in ‘17 nearly making the eight, 2018 getting to a prelim, 2019 riddled with injury and a new game plan. ‘2020 Covid just missed the eight again, 2021 Wheeeee!! 2022 & 2023 H/S domination without getting the cherry through injury and pizz poor kicking, now a mini rebuild and major tweaking of our game plan, who knows what will unfurl in the years to come but I think we are back to 2016 with a lot to look forward to.

I’m excited with our four youngsters Windsor, Tholstrup, Langford and Lindsay all offer a point of difference for the team and could indeed be our four musketeers when you add ,Spaz (in a different role), Kozzie, Rivers, Bowey, McVee, Van Rooyen, Disco and Jefferson that is a solid start to a regeneration of the team. I’m looking forward to seeing how this group play out plus we have another 6-8 young players that may or not make it.

That is so true The Ox I was only thinking the other day that since all the winging and carping on DLand all the training intel has completely dried up. Sad really.

Sorry Dr. Gonzo what I meant is our membership dollars are already in the clubs bank acct whether we turn up or not. Not sure how the AFL distribute the extra dollars from oppo supporters but I would imagine the more that turn up the better for our bottom line.

Sad but true Demon Disciple looks like we have gone back to our 20-21 numbers, the boys better get their skates on or next year could be a train wreck.

If members don’t turn up their $$’s are already in the till, the filth and Tiges $$’s are always welcome and the way that pies are playing they might fill the stadium.

That would be the strongest team that we have fielded at Casey for some time.

Congratulations Tom Fullarton at 200cm you provide a target up forward and a bit of a chop out for Max. Hope you get a bit of a run at it.

Don’t worry CF there will be plenty of Tigers and Filth supporters to take our places in the stands. Should still get 50 & 70k.

I saw that Horse and Simmo were on AFL 360 last night so had a look as they were discussing SG and our efforts to change the game plan and just how difficult it was. Adam said that he had tried to change the Eagles game plan to a faster moving more dynamic style and bought in a couple of assistants to help with the change but said his playing group couldn’t (or wouldn’t) adapt away from their existing style. Possibly leading to his and their demise. Longmire said that in his 14 year reign he only did one major tweak to the game plan which took a while to bed in but it made them a better side in the long run. They both said that they were following SG’s changes and they mentioned that he had already implemented a major change after 2018 season and could identify some changes however they said it was diiicult to bring about change.

I’m a bit like Return to Glory I’m looking for positives that will flow from a renewal process driven by the playing group young and old, and although our demise has come at a rapid and unexpected rate, our list still has the potential to rebound quickly. Whether it be system, process, a tweaked mindset change or all three combined. I look forward to seeing the rediscovery of our talent but I’m not sure what will trigger the resurgence. I keep scanning through the list looking for a Sign….!!!!

You are correct dc we should have kept a spot for him on the Rookie List last year.

You do realise FT that Clarry is still in our Top 5, Tracc will only continue to improve as he regains his Match Fitness and confidence in his body. They both have 3-4 years left in them at the top level and I would rather that be in our colours not someone else’s. If and I say a big If they both bomb on us in the second half of the season maybe then we think about how we limit the damage but let’s not jump the gun.

To be honest BDA I think we talked to Crows about Clayton it was his manager that arranged the Cats sorte and Geeelong did their utmost best to make a mockery of us, given they had no trade capital.

Despite all the Pessimistic Brahe on Demonland and the press my take has not changed, If Tracc, Clayton and Kozzie get close to their best form in 2025 they will remain on the list. Who knows maybe the sky will fall in and we are all doomed.

Hopefully more than two Chelly.

It’s a NO for me although I don’t mind Bevo from a distance, I’d like to keep him that way. If Simon can’t get the team functioning as we expect him to be able to it will be sad state of affairs. However as previously mentioned we need to get our ducks in a row, we need to appoint an experienced intelligent CEO that has a strong character and excellent people management skills. Then if we do go down that path we should be searching for the best available asst coach out there that has proven specialist and team management skills, we know they are out there just need to identify them and sell the vision. 1 - Simon get the team back on track ASAP 2 - Strap on a parachute.

BScotti Frittata, TMac and Langford were not in our bottom eight players Melk, Henderson and Rooey were. However I like your Ins.
