Umpiring standard
In the third quarter, Quaynor( I think), did the same as KozzieâŠâŠleft the ball on the ground after being calledâ holdingâ. No 50 metres awarded( would have been a shot from 35 m., so an important point!

My 3 word player analysis V white [censored]
Max killed Cameron in nearly every ruck contest. Cameron took more marks, but it didnât compensate for losing consistently in the ruck knock outs.

1964 GF Film discovered
I think Bluey Adamswas BOG. Incidentally, John Townsendâs sister, married David Ashcroft, and theyâre parents of Marcus Ashcroft, and grandparents of Will and Levi. The Townsend skills have been passed on.

CASEY: Rd 09 vs Northern Bullants
I think Adams is a beautiful kick.

With the left foot, too!

PREGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
I thought JVR did very well in the ruck, and several good tap-ons around the ground. Itâs not fair to judge him solely on his forward play. Heâs way better than Tom Fullarton.

PREGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
I fear weâre playing one short with Jefferson. I hope to heâll Iâm wrong. I havenât seen him play a decent game for Casey even.

NON-MFC: Round 09
Unlikely, since Moore, like his father, studiously avoids getting into vulnerable positions, like being in front of the pack.

NON-MFC: Round 09
Treacy should line up Mooreâs back with his knee, the way he did to Max in the practice game.

PREGAME: Rd 08 vs West Coast
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 thereâs no room for him this week.If May isnât fit, Turner canât replace him down back.

2025 MRO & Tribunal
If Kozzie deserved three weeks for brushing Mooreâs head when he dived, Nash should get 10-12 weeks for his brutal assault on Miers. The experts are saying 3-4 weeks. I canât believe it.

Media Madness
What about Libby Birchâs comments on Real Footy podcast( quoted in todayâs Age). She blames the menâsâ 2022 team for derailing their quest for successive premierships. They should have been inspired by the 2022 performance of the mensâ team.Finished top 4 , and very unlucky not to win both their finals. Same in 2023. They didnât fail to make the finals after their premiership( unlike Geelong and Collingwood). I suspect she might be a âdisgruntled ex-employeeâ. Her form certainly tailed off before she left the Dees.

GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon
Fullertonâs 5 goals didnât come from contested marks. Good decision not to pick him.

GAMEDAY: Rd 05 vs Essendon
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 theyâve done well against a â hotâ Adelaide in hostile conditions, which makes our effort seem not so bad. Dees by 11 ( pray!)

He played very well in the 2023 finals.

PREGAME: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
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 heâll 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.

Time to go Goody?
We should have tried to get Lloyd Meek Freo when they took Jackson. He wasnât high value then. Grundy was an error.

NON-MFC: Round 02
Itâd be great if Crisp was rubbed out. Heâs closing in on Jimmaâs 244 record. The AFL should quietly step in to ensure the Stynes legend isnât diminished!
