Brown has kicked 9 goals in 3 games, there's still life left in him yet JVR has kicked 6 goals in (his first) 3 games The common theme has been the midfield getting absolutely smashed in our losses

It's in Tassie :(

Gus had a fantastic 2021 finals series & deserves credit for being one of the main reasons the momentum shifted in our favour during the grandfinal. While he's capable of having good games in the role, he isn't a good wingman and was average for the entirety of the regular season. He finished outside the top 10 in the B&F, we priorised Jordon over Gus all throughout 2022 & specifically went after Hunter for season 2023 onwards. It's pretty clear Goodwin & co don't rate him as a permanent winger, nor should they given his lack of athleticism. The defensive running stuff is nice, but the better wingman (Hunter & Langdon) are capable of doing that and actually getting the footy.

Nothing major, just constantly knocking him for getting cheapies, his twitter is flooded with cheapshots like the below

He's a farqwhit Has moved on from Will Phillips to Sheezle as his punching bag this season it seems The first to crack into kids but don't you dare touch Corne-Francis!

He's probably been one of our better players

He was poor outside of the finals series

An interesting tidbit: AFL Fantasy Averages (Bolded = contract years) 2018 - 105.1 2019 - 88 2020 - 79* (adjusted for COVID shorter quarters) 2021 - 66.5 2022 - 99.1 2023 - 73.8

The Shach is not the answer

Agreed, take away our intensity and we look bog average.

Good year to have two top 5 picks

He's been a bit underwhelming but reckon Rivers start to the season has cost Gus some of his disposals

More mids are the #1 priority, but It's a bit of a self created problem at times with the reluctance to throw Brayshaw in the middle

2021 Oliver 87% Trac 79% Viney 71% I don't think they're meaningful enough differences We need guys like Rivers & Pickett in there as a point of difference (and for development) Jordon is serviceable as a defensive mid, too I don't like seeing Sparrow & ANB in there though, they're ineffectual

Oliver 85% CBA attendances (R 1-4) (-5% on 2022 numbers) Trac 66% (-9%) Viney 65% (-10%) Can't expect them to attend many more I wouldn't have thought..

Does anyone actually know what Sparrow's role is? Doesn't win the footy Doesn't use his size to impact defensively - 1 tackle off 10 centre bounce attendances Isn't a link up player - 0 marks Isn't a forward Rarely hits above 65% time on ground Is there any particular reason we carry him every week? Also - so much for Pickett & Rivers' added midfield minutes, Rivers had 4 centre bounce attendances, while Pickett only had 3. For context, Jordon as sub had 3.

IN: Lever, Brown, Gawn, Jordon OUT: Tomlinson, McDonald, Spargo, Sparrow SUB: Melksham

They need to stop pretending Sparrow is best 22 Tomlinson & T Mac to lead Casey to a second premiership

Open the CHANGES thread

Jordon didn't die for this

They have Dogs, Lions, Swans, Cats in their next five weeks Only 'easy' game is against Hawks Think I'd tip against them in 4 out of 5 of those

Playing VFL this weekend
