Yeah. I was watching the replay last night and thinking how incredibly well we play with and against the breeze. Any game at Casey in the wind is a huge advantage to us. Into the breeze, hard running and short hit ups. With the wind, big long running bombs into an open forward line. Hanks and Hore are just incredible and that last quarter took fantastic concentration to keep the pedal to the metal. We have to tie up second spot to get a home final.

I wonder if it takes a year or so for the fitness to to drop off slowly. We did pretty well in last quarter's for a year or two before the slump was obvious

I think there's more weight to how valuable he was for our premiership effort. Good on him. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/renowned-fitness-boss-departs-crows-to-join-italian-football-giants-in-big-blow/news-story/2cf16073af0db6694d65921495505cfc

Warwick Capper perhaps?

Great post great topic. I love the game, but not this competition anymore. It's a lopsided circus. Tbh, if rather watch our AFLW team this weekend and follow Casey. I'm getting just as much joy out of a good game of footy from them. They "investigated" Geelong and gave them the thumbs up to continue. Well done to the Hawks, it seems like they built a team more than bought one. Wouldn't be surprised if we had a two tier competition with relegation within the next decade. Seeya Tracc

Maybe you can ask him if he ever had any mates at school who kinda liked a girl a bit and asked her out on a date but told her in the process that he's gunna ask her best friend who he really likes out on a date next week. And he's more than happy to take her out if it all falls through with her best mate next week. That tactic always worked a treat. Fantastic that the panel asked the question and then booted him out.

That's right, there's the inevitable overruns to consider. Will probably end up being more. If you get a chance, look up the great clip of utopia where they talk about building a stadium in Tassie years ago. It's very good. Why not just grow the game across the country with what they've got for a start. Metricon (gold coast) has been half empty for a decade

And the club should be lodging a formal complaint. As usual, we won't

Just another example of how the AFL is not truly supportive of this competition. They demand that it grows while providing an amatuer pool of umpiring and officiating. Half arsed.

I think both the coaching group and the players have done incredibly well to get us in the position we are. 4w 1l with a really solid percentage. We've been decimated with injuries and having Goldy with her run And Gillard back in the team should hopefully steady the ship. I'll take this as a fantastic start considering our injuries. There's a belief in this team that they can somehow still win and they don't give up. If we can get some key players back and finish top 4 for the finals. That would be a huge achievement in itself.

Can't help but reflect that Mick and the whole team have embraced both the team first mentality and also showing the love for each other and playing the game more than the blokes at this time. Some great positives. Direct, fast transition through the corridor. Some key players almost ready to step back in. And goal kicking! Go Dees Thanks heaps to the track watchers

A fantastic start to the season considering @spirit of norm smith as you mentioned. Really proud of this team

Bloody hell

You can say we stole it and you could also say great teams never give in. This is a team that our club should be really proud of. Great observation about our backline. It's quite incredible how the inexperienced players have just stepped in. A great result and I'm really happy that Heath is ok and she'll be back in next week fingers crossed. She's a tackling machine. Go Dees
