My guess is that with a big game for Max against Xerri tomorrow and just a six day break into Carlton, they may want to keep Campbell fresh in case he is needed next week. That selection allowed Verrall to be the primary ruck tonight for Casey and it was one of the best games he has played I reckon, particularly in the second half.....
-
Lever was present but was doing particular exercises with the physio - involving a rubber band and resistance work. Hope he is OK because otherwise it could be a "no Lever/May" game. Our theory with Campbell is that given he is insurance for Max,the best plan is to keep him fresh. When he has played for Casey he has played the main ruck role, gives his all and invariably looks sore afterwards. Not ideal if you are on standby to play that role in the AFL the following week...

The named 23 plus Tom Campbell all in attendance today, other than Steven May. TMac (although named for Casey yesterday) was present also. So it is likely TMac will be in for May, unless they are waiting to see how May presents tomorrow? Perhaps we are fortunate Larkey is not playing - TMac a pretty good match up for Darling. The other notable absentee was the Ghostwriter. Hope all is good with you Ghosty!

Not you - Titan Uranus. Gee, that doesn't read well.....🙃

Goody sounded pretty confident in his presser that the deal will get done - I guess we should expect no other response to the question he got...saying "we knew Judd would take time before re-signing".
-
Appreciate that, but 1 in 14 sounds a lot worse than 2 in 15. I guess that was the point....

You're not counting 2011?
-
Howes and Henderson selected for Casey from the AFL emergencies, but not Campbell. Maybe Max sore, or ill?
-
That touches on the most interesting thing about this edition for me. Adrian, who runs the pod, normally "toes the party line" which no doubt assists with access to Club officers and employees. They have reached an anti-Simon view and he was happy for that to be aired.....

From last year's Annual Report: "An external governance review has provided clear recommendations for the future, including the establishment of a High-Performance Committee and a Member Engagement Committee. These initiatives will strengthen our leadership......"

Gates 3,4 or 5 - sometimes Gate 4 is not open for the "smaller" games.....

2 goals and 8 Coaches' votes! Nice tagging JJ.

LDU and Wardlaw are out. Larkey, Darling, McDonald and Parker are all "tests".

Today it was Viney!

I've heard a rumour the Club has asked whether we can train at AAMI so that we can use a rectangular pitch, with proper goals and all...🙂

Cold and windy, but soccer was still the go - the boys loved it and the Captain and Vice Captain combined for the winning goal! Quite a few absentees today: May, Lever, Spargo, Turner, Melksham, Langford, Lindsay, Howes, Campbell,Fullarton, Petty, Pickett and Henderson. Hore (out for the year) and MacAdam also absent, but AMW was present for a short period. Goal-kicking practice again and Trac, as usual, was last from the field - certainly trying hard that boy.
-
It would be interesting to get the stat of the scoring for the period Max was off the ground - I sense it was meaningful, given the minutes involved - although Max lost the hit-outs on the day......might frame this argument well.
-
I am told to ignore how the team is selected, but I am hoping to see (as named) Langdon and Lindsay on the wings today and Viney forward, with Langford going through the midfield - looks like Sparrow might also go through the middle (because of the Viney move). Great day for footy in Adelaide. Apparently we have beaten this lot 5 of the last 6 times we have played them here. Go Dees!

Surely Nibbins-Hargreaves has to play for us? The new hyphenated replacement for "Nibbler".
