Todd Patterson very impressive, honest and candid about what the club needed to do to stay in the window.

From memory we missed the finals in 2017 by percentage, we made a Preliminary final the following year and got beat up by the eventual premiers, we had a horrid 2019 multiple surgeries, etc, just missed the finals in 2020 shortened quarters due to Covid, then actually won the Flag in ‘21. We have followed up by finishing top 4 two years in a row but we’re bundled out in straight sets due in part to injuries, inaccurate kicking and a degree of bad luck. I attended all those four finals and not once were we smashed but I was still gutted, battered, angry and frustrated, However I have put it behind me, I have moved on and I am looking forward to what we can do better and get luckier in 2024-25. I am now starting to tire of those supporters who want to keep beating the club and particularly our Very successful coach and playing group up and you have to give some Credit to the sides we played who kicked straighter and had a lot of luck go their way.!!

Jed Adams looks a lot like a young Harrison Petty, I will watch him a lot closer in 2024 to see how he develops as you never know when your opportunity will arrive, remember when Adam Tomlinson went down in 2021 and Petty slotted seamlessly into the team. Jed has time to develop but you have to be ready to step up when it is your time. Work hard Jed.

Will’s junior coach gave him a huge wrap at STH Adelaide so I am looking forward to seeing an unhindered Will Verrall stepping up in 2024. Will Verrall has a nice ring to it.!!

When I read about Alyssia Pisano I didn’t think we had any hope of seeing her in the Red and Blue. Just shows how good our recruiting team is, welcome aboard Alyssia hope you kick a bag in 2024.!!

Welcome to the Dees Jacinta it will be a tough first year for you but I am sure that our recruitment team have very high hopes for you in 2025 and beyond, 185cm offers multiple spots in the team. Good luck.!!

Welcome aboard the DeeExpress Delaney, can’t get to much physicality running around in the Red and Blue, hope you have a great 2024.

Oliver Seston, get yourself right Oliver, great size for an AFL footballer, looking forward to seeing him kick a bag out at Casey next year.

How good is it to have another Rigoni at the Dee’s, good luck Jemma, your dad was a ripper, hard, tough and courageous.

Looking forward to seeing Disco Turner earn some regular game time in 2024 been loving the feedback from the regular Casey watchers. Daniel is a good size and possibly could hold down the critical Michael Hibberd role but not sure about his explosiveness.

Congratulations to Captain Max, Jess and young George.💕

Congratulations Kozzie and Ardu that is wonderful news for you both and your families.💕

Jake stood up when we needed some real heroics and his injury probably cost us a shot at a granny. The great news is that Jake will become fully fit and available leading into the finals next year, really looking forward to seeing Jake Melksham back in the Red and Blue kicking those amazing goals for us that only he can.

Matt Jefferson will be 20 at the start of the ‘24 season and as pointed out by DLand he needs additional kg’s of muscle like JVR and as WCW pointed out if they can straighten out his posture he might be 198cm. Good mark and accurate kick, would be a welcome addition to our forward line when he starts to hit his straps. Harrison Petty, Jacob van Rooyen, Matty Jefferson, Bailey Fritsch and Tom Fullarton and maybe a fit BBB. Would make us a very dangerous side indeed. Let’s see what you have got Matty.

Looking forward to seeing Blake Howes make his debut in ‘24 we could use his height, pace and ball use in the team. Like to see him build up to 86 - 88kg’s as well. Show us your stuff Blake.

And only 3 acres to play with in total.!!

Thank you Andy George and Bin for a great listen. Actually listened to the first half last week and finished it off last night. I agree 2023 was one that got away and that is why it burnt so much but as Goody said no good getting bitter and twisted, we must continue to get better than our opposition. I am now ready to move onto 2024.

Jeez DB I wouldn’t even share Covid with that mob.🤣🤣🤣

I’m thinking 2028, another reason to hang in there, 50th wedding anniversary, 83rd birthday, two more premierships and our own elite training and fitness facility. That would be the icing on the cake. Get on board you doubting Thomas’s just make it happen.

Agree on the first two, I would like to see a bit more of a Jefferson breakout at Casey before bringing him in. I would prefer to see Fullarton in the forward 50 and providing a chop out for Max.

All local councils have forgotten their true role, collect rubbish, maintain local roads and footpaths, support local businesses and help facilitate the development of necessary infrastructure to support the community.

Me to WB I was physically spent after that last five minutes of the Carlton game, so many lost moments.

Best of luck Deakyn Smith hope you have a great year.

I noticed that had a laugh with my wife, Windsor wouldn’t have been amused.🤣

Thanks PF another great report for the archives, did you notice Verrall and Fullarton during match simulations as I am hoping that both will feature in the team in 2024. You should get a permanent pass into the ground, someone should raise it at the AGM on Tuesday night or maybe we should email Kate Roffe?
