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.

Sorry LH just re/read your post I liked that you raised the point re the FD review, we certainly need an update as to where it has progressed to I guess I reacted to the inference that it may have been a sham given the coverage that it received post season. Sorry.

Thanks DD our stats are deplorable such a big drop off for our bottom eight players, agree JV needs to be managed, Sparrow, JvR, Spargs, Henderson, Melksham ( sub), is Windsor still sore, if not get him back on the wing. Time for Disco, Jefferson or Fullarton to get a run, Pup Brown and Seston could not play worse.

Totally agree chookrat when you only have 12-14 players solidly contributing against bummers 16-18 players working hard, you have no hope. Time for drastic change, our bottom 6-8 players wouldn’t be missed. Give those players at Casey that are working hard a chance to have a crack.

Sorry I missed Kozzie always dangerous kicked two, as did Fritta but we need more.

6 - Max Gawn 50 hit outs (one howler) 5 - Ed Langdon great game 4 - Jake Bowey playing with assurance 3 - Christian Salem brave and consistent 2 - Christian Petracca mini fightback 1 - Clayton Oliver on his way back The mini fwd line failed miserably aided by our inaccuracy in front of goal, we had our chances but overall Bummers out marked, outran and dismantled our game plan.

When do they announce the Sub, trying to get interested, any chance of a late change?

Trouble is KC we have Fullarton who is more a fwd, we picked up AJ who at 193cm is a bitsa, Tom Campbell for 1 year in case Max is injured, who is currently injured and Will Verrall who is still a way off.

I know that it has been mentioned previously on numerous occasions But we desperately need a youngish Ruckman 200-206cm and a tallish forward who can mark and kick the ball accurately. I truely hope that we are scanning all states for a couple of talls that we can effectively develop And a specialist Fwd coach that can school all our forwards in basic fwd craft. I know that we may get a gooden in Kalani White but he may take a year or two.

What do you think we should be doing differently Redleg, apart from the bleeding obvious winning games. What is happening behind the scenes??
