Very

Exactly H_T. Tough to say if any of our players have experienced this. I do not think it is possible to over invest in Chip right now.

Will not be the last time we are favourites this season

When Bailey left our record was 7-9-1 for that season. Now I am not saying that the fitness was where it needed to be however to win 7 games at the AFL level, you need some fitness. That said, there is no doubt the fitness credentials are higher now.

Who is mentoring Chip at the moment?

Terlich stood out a couple of times on the members wing for his attack on the ball - very encouraging

Found myself cheering on Wines - looks everybit the game changer.

Agree - defense starts from the forward line now

Malthouse seems to be having some similar problems at Carlton

The only thing I take from Richmond is they selected a great coach.

Get Watts and Garland forward pronto

Cannot judge him yet surely

Watts in and to the forward line- playing him in defence is like playing Neitz in defence - a big white flag. Get whoever are the fastest players we have at Casey in. Speed is a massive deficiency currently. Evans stood out at times yesteray simply because he is quick

It starts with our transition defence which provides the backline little support. The lack of pressure and inability to mark the dangerous targets through the midfield enables the ball to come into the defensive zone frequently and with minimal pressure. I would be interested to hear from those who go to training whether they have seen the drills being run which address this and how they have worked.

Cannot be true sorry, as many people on here say, Bailey only coached us to be attacking and ignored defence. The irony

6 - N. Jones 5 - Viney 4 - M. Jones 3 - Sylvia 2 - T Mac 1 - Terlich

Holding off the ball and in the marking contest is a point of focus in everygame I see. so players need to adjust. BTW Garland had the free paid against him because he was looking at the player and not the ball. Annoying but correct.

Win

I think the lesson learn't from our past 6 years is the draft is not the silver bullet. Do not ever want a priority pick (handout) again

The time is now - go Dees

Great to have Ox, Neitz etc back, just need defined roles otherwise you risk a lack of role clarity.

I see it this way. No gameplan matters if you are being beaten in the clearances as much as we have. Makes me wonder why we still have so few inside mids on the list currently.

67 points down

Maybe because a key host is the father of the captain?

I clap, only because I never know if another opportunity to clap will come during the actual game
