Really hoping that we get Wade Derkson good size and hard at it and as previously mentioned I see him stiffening up our backline the same as I see Luker Kentfield adding some hardness to our forward line. Get on board Wade, we could use you.

The thing that stands out for me DD is that our older brigade have all stood up apart from an injured Rick, Claz and Tracc still 2nd and 3rd, whilst Bowie and Kozzie the big improvers and Langford is already ranked 13th, he is going to be something special.

You have given this a lot of thought Binman and I like the way that you have set it out, reminds me of the TQM process where customer focus is a fundamental aspect of the continual improvement process. We as the Members are the end customers that should be involved in the continual improvement in all aspects of our Club. I would certainly vote for you to represent me as a member. Who do you think would manage this process CEO / President - via a Specialist Team?

Thanks Kev Martin greatly appreciated. Only three Captains runs to go for 2025.

What happened to Wade Derkson?

Maybe Layzie but not in my head, I’m looking for improvements, something to look forward to, I won’t sign off until the B& F and National Draft is completed. Then I will take a long break until the pre-season.

Not me layzie, can you imagine the ruckus on here if we get beaten by the Weagles at Marvelous stadium. I’m wanting a 50+ point win tomorrow so I can enjoy the replay and I hope Jai Culley crashes in hard and takes a couple of scalps on his way.😁👍

Ha ha the supporters have dug the hole, Simon refuses to jump into it, he thinks that he is running the footy dept. 😁👍

Just a thought but maybe we have to free up the $$$’s at end of season.👍😁

To be honest there is only Adam’s, Verrall, Seston, Mentha and Kentfield that haven’t debute’d and as previously mentioned Seston was very close before injury. Adam’s probably next closest.

You start smoothly then give a backhander to Our Club as you walk out the door.

Congratulations Jai Culley coming in against your old mob, hope you have a great game and help bring home the chocolate’s. Play to your strengths Jai.

Every game is important, we lost last week because we failed to keep our nerve in those last 5 minutes. I’m tipping that we will replicate last weeks effort but for four quarters, the team received a real kick in the guts just like us supporters and I am hoping that the players respond accordingly. If Petty plays he needs to go back, apart from Salem and Rivers our backline fell apart in that last quarter, Spargo needs to come out for Sharp, I would also bring in AJ and perhaps Brown. Jeffo? Kentfield?, wish Mitch was on our list.

Just when the boys are hitting their straps another unwanted bye, VFL has become a bit sad.

Thanks DD some very interesting stats coming out of this game such a shame that we blew it in the last, good to see that Riv and Max were at the elite level and that our top 6 players performed so well. I noticed on Wheelo’s player rating that only Rivers and Salem went against the trend Scoring highly in that miserable last quarter. Pressure ratings for 1st and 3rd were quite noticeable but 2nd and last pretty average. The last in particular but that may have been because of the Saints ball movement we couldn’t get our hands on it for that last 20 minutes.

Thanks for the encouraging words Dee- tonator put your own anger and frustration ahead of Our Team, why not just let them all go.👎

Also when you watch the replay the umpire called our players including Max back to the centre which allowed Millera to break free.

How about that mark that Mattie Jefferson took against Sandy on the weekend, if he can replicate that on a regular basis at AFL he will be worth the price of a ticket, also I don’t understand the criticism for Harry Sharp he kicked five great goals, doing what a good hff does finishes off the play up the ground. Why try to pass and increase the opportunity for a turn over when you can nail it yourself.

I don’t blame you Ghostwriter the negativity and mean spiritedness is bordering on this time last year. “The coach needs to be sacked, we need a clean out of players, where’s the resilience, etc, etc, etc. imagine how West Coast, Richmond and North Melbourne must be copping it. Personally I would like to see a bit more resilience and team first actions from some of our supporters, we are doing a rebuild on the fly and there will be ups and downs, it must have been terrible at Marvel on Sunday for our poor Dee Army and supporters watching the doomsday clock winding down then the 6-6-6 nightmare, we really missed May and Levers leadership in the last quarter. The look on our coaches faces said it all. Glad that you turned up Ghostwriter shows that kind of resilience and team first spirit that I mentioned earlier. Bravo.👍😁

A big thanks to Startifastbart first of all for turning up, everyone is in the doldrums, thinking that our three usual star reporters must have had something more important on today. That’s quite a few missing. Let’s hope the boys can get themselves up for Wet Toast, they will give themselves a huge chance.

Even though neither are anywhere near their absolute best BLWNBA both are firmly in our top three this year and would leave a hole in our list if either depart the team, our youngsters are still a year or so away from taking their spots. Unless we received top grade trades in lieu I think we would be more the loser.

It was in jest.

Ooiiieee, I still believe Sharp will make it and at least the other players you list at least made Casey a better team.

Thanks Brad for taking the effort to acknowledge the poor performance of the team in 2025 and the disappointment and anguish felt by the supporter base and also referencing the threat to Simon Goodwin on unsocial media. He is smart enough to know that he is damned if he speaks and damned if he doesn’t but personally I am glad that he spoke. What happens at the end of season in four weeks time is anyone’s guess but you can bet it won’t be enough for some.

Ditto JR what is this thread hoping to achieve aside from casting the net of negativity across the whole club? Forgetting all the magnificent wins we have enjoyed from 2016 when we finally started to emerge from the mire and from 2020 to mid 2024 when we were serious contenders.
