Jumping Jack Clennett

In the third quarter, Quaynor( I think), did the same as Kozzie……left the ball on the ground after being called” holding”. No 50 metres awarded( would have been a shot from 35 m., so an important point!

Max killed Cameron in nearly every ruck contest. Cameron took more marks, but it didn’t compensate for losing consistently in the ruck knock outs.

I think Bluey Adamswas BOG. Incidentally, John Townsend’s sister, married David Ashcroft, and they’re parents of Marcus Ashcroft, and grandparents of Will and Levi. The Townsend skills have been passed on.

I think Adams is a beautiful kick.

With the left foot, too!

I thought JVR did very well in the ruck, and several good tap-ons around the ground. It’s not fair to judge him solely on his forward play. He’s way better than Tom Fullarton.

I fear we’re playing one short with Jefferson. I hope to he’ll I’m wrong. I haven’t seen him play a decent game for Casey even.

Unlikely, since Moore, like his father, studiously avoids getting into vulnerable positions, like being in front of the pack.

Treacy should line up Moore’s back with his knee, the way he did to Max in the practice game.

I agree that Adams is really beginning to show a fair bit for Casey. Tall,a good mark, and a beautiful left foot kick. But there’s no room for him this week.If May isn’t fit, Turner can’t replace him down back.

Have another look.

If Kozzie deserved three weeks for brushing Moore’s head when he dived, Nash should get 10-12 weeks for his brutal assault on Miers. The experts are saying 3-4 weeks. I can’t believe it.

I reckon we made a big error making Langford sub v GWS.If he’d played the whole game, I’m sure we’d have won. He had done well in the practice matches, then dominated for Casey the next week after GWS.We should be won 2, lost 4.

Mihocek was a VFL player. ( so was no. 22 for Essendon)

What about Libby Birch’s comments on Real Footy podcast( quoted in today’s Age). She blames the men’s’ 2022 team for derailing their quest for successive premierships. They should have been inspired by the 2022 performance of the mens’ team.Finished top 4 , and very unlucky not to win both their finals. Same in 2023. They didn’t fail to make the finals after their premiership( unlike Geelong and Collingwood). I suspect she might be a “disgruntled ex-employee”. Her form certainly tailed off before she left the Dees.
