Jumping Jack Clennett

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.

Fullerton’s 5 goals didn’t come from contested marks. Good decision not to pick him.

I just rewatched the Cats game v. us. We played much better than I remembered ( for 3 quarters). We lost by 39 points on their dungheap, then they’ve done well against a “ hot” Adelaide in hostile conditions, which makes our effort seem not so bad. Dees by 11 ( pray!)

He played very well in the 2023 finals.

Tom Campbell must come in to help Maxy . He provides good ruckwork (esp. with Langford in the midfield), a bit of grunt,and can take a mark in the forward 50, and kick well for goal. Gosh… he beat Xerri in the practice match, and conventional wisdom says he’ll be all Australian ruck this year. Let Verrall continue to develop in the ruck at Casey, instead of playing him up forward, like against North. We need to see if Verrall is worth persevering with.

I agree about Adams.I watch Casey hoping to see Adams and/or Jefferson play an influential part in a game. So far I’ve seen nothing.They seem to be taking too long to develop. Geez I hope I’m wrong.

We should have tried to get Lloyd Meek Freo when they took Jackson. He wasn’t high value then. Grundy was an error.

It’d be great if Crisp was rubbed out. He’s closing in on Jimma’s 244 record. The AFL should quietly step in to ensure the Stynes legend isn’t diminished!

Maggots trying to help Bummers this third quarter.

Have we given up on Jed Adams ?

When is the game on?

I think the AJ suspension will work out well for us. After his great work on Xerri in the pre-season practice match, Tom Campbell would be a great replacement. Gawny can have more rest , and be a problem for North up forward more. Turner should replace Jeffo, who got two lucky goals , but did nothing else.

What about the handball on the goal-line that was straight to a Melbourne team-mate, but the behind post got in the way? Given as deliberate OOB. Goal to Cadman….wrong decision, ultimately that goal won the match.

Jeffo reminds me of Max Walker.

I couldn’t be less interested.

That’d be a one iron……anyone can hit a 5 iron, including god.

Which top player didn’t attend preseason? Trac missed the B and F ( wisely) because he was training overseas. So who missed preseason? I must have missed this with my cricket obsession.

????something to do with where they were recruited from????? Unlikely , with Cameron , Ashcroft and ANB , for example being from different states. Perhaps they’ve all never been suspended. I give up.

This is driving me mad!

We should pay someone to line him up like Maynard did with Gus. I guess we don’t play him till after round 8 , so hopefully someone from another side will stop him from breaking our Jimma’s record.
