That’s pretty good seeing that it is only Hunters second hit out for the year, so building nicely and Tom Fullarton is doing himself no harm as well.

I had four uncles that served in WW2 two saw action one in New Guinea and one in Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), one was a despatch rider who was badly injured when he came off his bike in the MEast and one who served in Japan as occupation troops. However the one that we think most about is my father-in-law who was in the 8th Division, he fought down through Malaya, captured in Singapore, he spent time in Changi, Burma Railway, back to Changi and then shipped to Japan to work in a mine until the war ended. He was located not far from Nagasaki and he and all prisoners were told that as soon as the US invaded Japan that they would all be executed. He told my wife that when the war concluded the Yanks parachuted in food supplies to them in Red, White and Blue parachutes and that he still got a tear in his eye when he thought about those huge planes and those beautiful parachutes bringing food and supplies to them as the Japanese troops had cleared out when the ceasefire was declared.💕

How good would it be to have Another Yze at the club and eventually playing for us, Noah is a good height and if he is anything like Adem he will be a beauty. lets hope he has a great year in the Coates League.

I love this type of close up expose of Harrison being wheeled into the operating theatre, the footage of the Specialist, the administering the anaesthetic, then the long recovery period, etc, like previously mentioned I crave this kind of behind the scenes documentary. Top shelf MFC, Harrison, fitness and coaching staff.💕

I believe that we got absolutely everything right in 2021 including our Indigenous Guernsey and that should be our “gold standard” going forward. Once you reach perfection it is hard to emulate.!!

Yes LITD I looked up AFL stats and they list Neita at 191cm same as Footy Wire however having talked to him at a number of family days he looked taller. Imagine if JVR can emulate Neita his contested marking was huge. 😁

On the last day of trade Adelaide offered two first rounders, 11 and 15
Too bad it wasn’t Darcy Fogarty and pick 14 we just may have jumped at it. I’m still hopeful that Petty will stay, we don’t have to trade him until the end of ‘25 unless the offer is too good to turn down. He’s a Premiership backman 197cm a good mark and kick who loves body contact and can go forward and kick a goal or six. Be patient let Harrison find his fitness and form he will come good (barring injury) and straighten us up in the forward line. It is a long long season.!!

The more I see and hear from this young man the more I like, leadership aspirations as a just turned 21 year old is a great sign I believe he will make a lot of people eat their words in the not to distant future.😁

Thanks red and blue forever great signing by the club.
ps( how do I open the spreadsheet to see 2027 and beyond)😁😁

Thought the same thing LT thoughtful, articulate and well spoken, he has a lot of layers. I also hope that he gets a good run at this year as I suspect that he is the real deal.

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.
Bluey I find this quaint, at 194cm he is identical height to Curnow All Australian Forward, 2cm taller than David Neitz and 1 cm shorter than Szwartta, 2cm shorter than Jeff White. 6’41/2”. He’s no Gorilla McKay 6’7” , Cameron & Lynch 6’6”. He is the same height at Tex Walker and Darcy Fogarty.😁 both very good forwards, why do we feel obliged to downsize ours.

Thanks KC, Demonland, Nascent, DD and all posters I didn’t get to watch the game so enjoyed the psts particularly the fight back and judging from stats our Casey boys really put in big time. Great result for the club.
-
Not much love for Tom Fullarton, 21 touches, 4 marks, 7 hit outs and kicked 2.4 racked up 102 dream points and named in Casey’s Best but hasn’t garnered a mention? Will Verral is starting to show the class of football that his former coaches said that he was capable of, he is an exciting prospect for the future. As it stands we need Tom and Will to both keep improving and hopefully force their way into the side or be ready when needed. Sounds like Disco came back with a bang, Ollie stepped up along with Bill, Pup and Lachie Hunter. A great win considering we were 26 points down at one stage.

Team & Player Ratings to Rnd 5, 2024 vs H&A Season 2023
After six matches our Team Rating is down 5% on our 2023 Team Rating.
That's not a long way off but it's still down. Mostly made up from...
> Clarry down 33% so far vs 2023
> No Gus, statistically our 3rd best player in 2023
> Rivers off just a tad but making up ground in the last few weeks
> Petty a long way off his 2023 rating following his interrupted pre-season.
Personally feel he should not have been brought back as soon as we did. I stated that at the time and happy to stand by this call. At this level you cannot afford to play anyone who is/was this under-done. I would also argue this for Clarry, however who would we have brought in to replace for say Port or the Crows? I would now suggest we use Rivers to cover for Clarry if he needs an extra week or two off to fully recover. Better this than a recurrence! Marty covers for Riv?
> No Bowey (inj).
The Top 6 Rating is off 2023 by 4.5% That's mostly the Clarry & Gus factor. If Clarry was playing somewhere close to his 2023 Rating of '5.0' our Top 6 Rating so far in 2024 would be up by 2.5%!
A few significant factors going forward include... getting Clarry and Petty right (if Petty has to miss matches to do a mini pre-season then so be it). Making sure Kozzy remains in the team and retains his early season form. Getting McAdam and Melk fit, firing and pushing into this 22. Getting better performances from our Bottom 6 players who are a fair way off 2023 levels.

Thanks DD some big variations for a number of key personal and that game didn’t help to many players stats. So glad that they have operated on Clarry’s finger, hope they hold him back to give it a chance to recover, agree with Petty he is so out of form it isn’t funny, get Fullarton into the team he could not perform any worse than Benny or Harry.!!

Thanks DD I know that we are playing the long game to be better at the tail end of the season but we are performing below where we need to be to be more competitive. The next two weeks will tell the story, do we have to many kids in the mix, when do we introduce Fullarton, McAdam and Hunter into the side?? After watching GWS tonight they have the tools and the talent to bat very deep again this year.
