Pert and Roffey - The Review Thread
In a very guarded way, Speed implied that the current CEO probably should not be on the review panel.

NON-MFC: Finals Week 01
Iâm enjoying watching Carlton , and their supporters, suffer!

20 Wonderful Years
I remember that Final when they beat us. We were coming back strongly near the end, less than a goal behind, when Brad Miller gave them a downfield free , leading to the sealer for them.

Farewell Kyah Farris-White
I thought Bradtke showed promise. He had a lot of injuries, didn't he?

NON-MFC: Round 24
I got such a thrill seeing Carlton having a last minute loss. I remember their gloating when they so luckily beat us in themFinals last season( and during the season if I remember correctly). It annoys me how the Carlton fans scream for â BALLâ every time the opposition touch the ball. It works after a while, with the undisputed â noise of affirmationâ affecting the umps.

David Teague leaves Tigers
Teague is Rod Grinterâs cousin. He was a terrifically gutsy player .

CASEY: Rd 18 vs UWS Giants
I thought Hore and Tomlinson looked pretty goodâŠ. But who was on the guy who got their first 6 goals?

Carltonâs doctor and CTE
Brilliant manufacture of an excuse by the recidivists! A player on the boundary was being treated for a tight calf muscle, while the groggy Mackay was being helped to his feet. Great triage by the medical experts! Perhaps they consulted their clever lawyers again to dream up that excuse. Of course the AFL has forgotten altogether about the Wettering disgrace.

Carltonâs doctor and CTE
The AFL has reprimanded Carlton for the Mackay incident. They overlooked the Wettering incident in the Final last year. Carlton might have to face legal action in many years time if Mackay or Wettering show signs of CTE. Thatâs the problem exactly.

PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS
Laurie has looked a class above at Casey. He hasn't impacted at AFL level....but has he had much ground time? The big chance he did get was when Brayshaw was pole-axed in the Final. He hardly touched it that day.Let's not write hom off for that. But I see a very constructive and skillful footballer when I watch Casey. I think he has a tank too, since he apparently was a middle-distance runner. Let's see how he goes with another chance with more ground-time. Howes also is way over VFL standard, and is an excellent replacement for Salem.

Carltonâs doctor and CTE
This is the crux of the argument.

Carltonâs doctor and CTE
Unethical practice by the doctor, succumbing to pressure from the club to delay HIA for the Club's benefit. That's why there have been so many calls for independent medical assessment of suspected concussion. It was blatantly obvious that Mackay and Wettering required urgent and thorough assessment, not a remote opinion from the edge of the ground, then a delayed test .

Carltonâs doctor and CTE
The problem was plain to see. Numerous experts have expressed their surprise that he wasnât taken off and assessed immediately. What do you mean by â sour grapesâ, Demon Disciple.? If you had a son playing football and he was staggering around with his eyes rolling in his head, would you want him to stay out on the field? Thatâs when players are most vulnerable to repeat head trauma.

Carltonâs doctor and CTE
The Carlton doctor should be censured by both the AFL and the Medical Board( AHPRA) for his gross neglect of Mackayâs condition at the weekend. They considered that it was more important to keep their best players on the ground than consider the likelihood of concussion, and CTE down the track. This policy won them the final v Melbourne last September when Wettering was concussed( accidentally) by Smith, who actually helped him to his staggering feet. They chose not to assess such an important player when the game was in the balance. If they assessed him ,heâd be off the ground at a vital time, and would probably be unavailable next match. It was Wettering who intercepted Vineyâs wayward kick, and who set up the last minute final attack and winning goal. Reprehensible neglect of player welfare.

Where is Dennis Jones mentioned here? He coached us to a Spoon in '78.

Trade Targets
What about Essendonâs third ruckman, Bryan? He monstered our back-up rucks at Casey, and wonât get much of a gig behind Draper in the near future.
-
CASEY: Rd 16 vs Essendon VFL
I thought Laurie, Howes, Tomlinson and Billings looked very good on Sunday. Now our injury list is so much shorter, the Casey team looks much stronger. I thought Ben Brown moved pretty well,and Kynan looked effective, though his stats donât reflect it.

That young boy later played footy for Footscray, and now works at the MFCâŠ..Iâm not sure what role. Jimmy Plunkett, I think.
