I'm tipping 8, Watts 5, Jeffy 4, Vanders 3 to win by 100 points, and go to second on the ladder...

to Dees2014,  picket fence,  coup cooper,  & jules7

how many did Hoges kick today?  or did he get kicked ?  lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Haven't seen swyl in this thread for pages.  oh well,  Richmond wyl have to miss out on Trenners,  as he regathers his fitness,  mojo,  & career.

best news all day JT... keep up the good work.

Frost has that Swiss army knife quality that coaches love. I don't know where to play him, and I'm not confident in his ability to nail a key role in the side just yet.

He is worth rolling with for another 3-4 weeks to see if he finds his niche. If he doesn't Dawes probably locks down that forward role when back from his calf injury.

I don't think Dawes will lock anything in,  or out...   think he's virtually done,  turn him over & stick a trident in to him,  to see.

If we have to play Dawesy from mid year,  to do what,  something?  we may as well play the younger ones like Frost & Oscar,  & one of the kings from that point.?

We need to remember that Frost has played just 25 odd games of footy.  He was initially a rookie at GWS.  He showed promise as a defender at GWS.

I think Roos is showing poor judgement to expect him to be holding down CHF.  He needs to go back to defence, learn the game & get comfortable.  Then after a couple of seasons when he has learned a bit more about the game maybe he can be tried up forward.

Maybe Dawes injury has caused this?  maybe your right, that they intended to have Frost as tall back, but fate stepped in.

Lumumba dropping of marks with no pressure.

Watts lack of any Intesity and they way he was man handled by old man Kelly.

Hogans head is in WA.

Kent did he play? 

Gawn wants to be best ruckman in the competition? 

Could go on all day..... I'm done.

but who for?

Mod's,  can we have the Casey thread pinned at the top, at least while Trenners & Petracca are making a come back?  we can maintain all the updated goss',  & also gamedays.

I think the front half of season in AFL will be up & down after today,  till we  settle our side with some more experienced talent.  Dunn, Trenners;  & then Petracca,

Hold your nerve guys. 

We're not that far off it. It's a bit like last week, when it clicks we'll be off and away

So far we have played into their hands

very much like our recent form.  it'll take a bit of time to get offence right.  especially with Hogan distracted.

Hogan needs to lead, i'm sick of him hanging in the goal square having a sook if he doesn't get it. Lumumba can go and rot in Casey for the rest of his career as far as I'm concerned. Only players out there that look like they're switched on are Kennedy and .......

put Hogan to CHB....    TMac onto Daniher..... Garland to CHF..... Watts & Pedo deep,,,,  with Watts moving about.   Garlett deeper to Pedo's feet,  & push the other forwards high.

His kicking will be difference between a win and loss today.

Cant wait till Jack signs.  Reckon he has put in too much 'blood, sweat and tears' to walk away now!

Well, lets see him play the season out,  to see howe it pans out.  

I want to be convinced he is going to play to this attitude & style,  every game.

On 29/03/2016 at 8:05 AM, Peter Griffen said:

I think Jack still feels he owes the club, and i think he's been building the last couple of years, flashes of what he can do in 2014, had a consistent patch in 2015 but couldn't keep it up and now he looks like he's put it all together and it's finally clicked for him

Improved fitness & strength will help him a lot.

Maybe thats what him being dropped for the last game,  last season,  was all about.

Amazing how after a win and a few preseason games people jump on Jack and conveniently forget the years of poor footy he played. I couldnt GAS about this 'face of the club' or 'his heart beats red n blue' rubbish. Just play consistent, good footy for the club. I truly hope he has a cracker of a year, re-signs and plays good footy for years to come at the Dees, rather than cruise on good coin. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, his career to date has been disappointing. Matthew Lloyd is largely right, Jack has been gifted 100 games of AFL footy. 

its not forgotten moon.  he owes a lot.  He has to show a lot. 

He'll be tested very soon physically.  He has to stand up to it,  & not take it.  He has to show he'll fight & win.  Then the game, Win. 

If he is to be of any use in future finals games,  in years to come then he has to be able to fight back,  & to raise his efforts.

I dunno. I love the new style being played this year.

looks like it needs just a tad more,  just a tad.

I like the direction its heading,  in most games,  but we need a bit more success on long bombs,  to keep defenders closer to their opponent.   a little more & we'll see more man on man footy again.

That deliberate out of bounds rule is yuk.

 that was way to grey to be deliberate, especially in that stage off game.  a gift of 4 points, the last 5 minutes of this game, to the pies.

What a poor quality game of footy. Like a game of keepings off where no one is winning. 

So much for attacking footy being back

attacking footy has been back apart from  'that'  last night.   'that'  was the pies tactics.  Obviously worried about the tiger army possibly causing a swarm of long bombs & goals.

The way to beat a strong front running team is to frustrate them early & get their anxiety levels high,  causing them the jitters (fumbles).   Using suffocation tactics & constant pressure,  causing them to take too many risks.

Buckley realised the Tiges like to kick long & direct to space.  he gave them none ahead of their ball.  really crap tactics when the game opened up 2nd half the Tiges were over anxious & a little fumbly,  trying to be too quick retrieving the ball & using it.

They needed to be cleaner by hand,  feeding the ball to the runner.  The pies zone sweepers cleaned up,  & went to the corridor.  They deliberately slowed the tempo.

Foxsports saying Pies have three easy games coming up:

'Now with games against St Kilda, Melbourne and Essendon to come, the Magpies have a chance to launch a season that looked like careering out of control at stages of last night.'

 

The pies had divine help last night in the dying stages of the game.  the umpires gifted the Pies opportunities inside the 50Mtrs.

* that mark that wasn't to Fasolo never had it in his grasp.   it just stayed ahead of his finger tips.   no hands around it.  =  goal

* that pass out on the outer flank by Tiges that eventually went over the line.   free kick to Pies kick to to top of square  =  goal   game over.  what a waste of an outcome & a battle.

The pies played a 'defencive frustration',  keep the opposition & crowd quiet tactics,  harm minimisation early 1st half...  not burning up there fitness energy. 

They went more attacking after half time.

I wonder if the pies have had a short Pre-Season,  in the hope of running out the season stronger in September?

This is a game that we have to win and we have to win comprehensively.  Essendon is using this match as protests of their innocence. We need to stand up for all of the other clubs and the football community as a whole and show them that cheaters will not prosper. 

 

When Jimmy died  I expected the Dees to stand up and make a statement  by coming out fighting and win  in that next game  but they didn't,  we played poorly and lost. 

 

Tomorrow we will have a new team out on the field  I expect them to standup and come out fighting  and to deliver a big win.

The Sheedy jacket waving thing is so cringe inducing .. wow.

Tomorrow we play not just for the Melbourne Football CLub, but for every sporting team not named Essendon.

In the name of clean sport we must annihilate them.

Despie your incredibly bad moniker, I agree.

 

We must win for every clean team out there. I do like CP5 and he'll be here sooner rather than later.

He was looking good on Wednesday. And he knows it. Alan Jakovich said, talent can get you so far, hard work will make you win.

I agree with these sentiments,  we have to put the sword to those Bummers,  & vocalise our intent  & disgust  from the second they come out...

WE Have to do this for the Robbie Flowers,  the Jimmy Stynes  of this world,  players/people  who would be disgusted by the way that bloody club has acted,  regarding 'the worst act of bringing this game into disrepute',  there has ever been.

'Give  'em  Hell',   Demons  !!!

What it means is: if you're going to the game and it goes ahead,  bare it.....because I reckon we must have had the most vocal anti- Essendon messages of

vitriol going around. There that wasn't so hard was it?

the Bummers & they're media people,  where some of the most viscous against the Dees,   for the List Managing we did,  which we followed most others lead.

I reckon the Bummers must cop they're lot,  & that will 'get it',  all season long.

It is not the current players that are the disgrace.

 

It is the administration that oversaw the program, still not taking responsibility for their actions. That should be BOOed!

I'm not in favour of their support for the banned 12.

yes that's right,  but the protest would be against the Bummers club;  & by extension,  at the AFL as well.   And also at the bummers arrogance & refusal to accept they did really bad things to the players,  & at the same time to this game.

Congrats to Dee-Luded.

 

One of the better pieces of pop psychology I've seen in recent times in response to my views. Hits all the key jargon without thinking about the issue itself. Good effort.

 

 yes, I did think about this but really value your opinion also.

I'd like to be ashamed but my self esteem is just too high I guess.

....  actually D17,  I have worked all the way through being polite & politically correct,  & doing the done thing most of my life,  until I woke up to all the inconsistencies, hypocrisy's & double standards of mainstream people.  

In truth,  most everybody are  huge hypocrites,  always seeing things first thru their self-filters,  & coming up with their own choice of perceiving an angle on an issue.  without laterally examining it.  + jump to conclusions....  it always just end =s up as an etiquette,  & the truth is overlooked & lost.  So is trodden all over,  for political correctness.  sad.

People Need an escape & Need to let out their pent-up frustrations;   just as the northerners do,  but they use whinging & whining,   & being judgemental,  looking down on people  for their stress relievers, once they feel convinced of their own vindications.

OI hope you truly are free,  & don't feel inhibited by significant others expectations of courteousness,  in the place of truth & honest expression over beliefs.  If you believe more in this courteousness,  over truth of your feelings & desire for things to be put right,  your maybe too content within a comfortable existence ?

---------------------------

So no I do not adhere to sitting on hands with lips buttoned,  & being  'prim & proper'  when it comes to righting wrongful issues. 

I encourage all who feel like it,  to jump up & down if they like,  yell, shout,  turn their backs if they want,  & express their democratic power to show how they feel.

If they want to send a message to the AFL,  about how its managing the game,  siting down quietly in your booked seat,  is not going to cut any mustard.
