Langdon Concussion
Gee what rubbish Salem was listed as soreness but we don't really know the real meaning of that. Jacko did have a real hand injury and Ed let Sparrow on who I believe is concussed also.

Langdon Concussion
No it doesn't Tommy i s not a wingman NEVER was and NEVER WILL bE He played about 3/5 mins on the wing to get mobile then went forward in 2018. How any one thinks he is best in our team on the wing full time as against a KPF is not watching the game very well.

That's robbing Peter to pay Paul 2 potential Losses there on both wings. 1. ANB to one and Angus to continue his team defensive play on the other. 2. If not then Baker gets a chance.agsin. 3. If we are very brave Rivers to Langers wing and Lockhart to mind the Lions smalls. DONT MOVE Angus he is going fine in his side of the oval.

Where will we play the Lions?
No I disagree It makes perfect logic if we can get a crowd to play at theG. Reduce to 40% we get 35,000 snd make some money and transfer Hawthorn game later in year to Alice. Not Adelaide Game.

Membership 2021
I cannot understand the complaints with the Membership Dept who I have had nothing but service and efficiency for years well before Covid. Never been majorly delayed even during finals time. You don't have to join up year after year as you can go on a rolling list automatically renewing at the end of the season in Oct/start Nov. Having said this there does seem to be a problem with Junior memberships administration from some of the posts. But really if you have 3 memberships snd you get the digital tickets each time just present from your phone and sort out at the end of the season!! The kids don't need to know as long as they get entry to the ground!

Why we wont win a grand final soon
Come on be real We are not suffering because of that 1992 result now!! That's ridiculous! in 2018 we lost at the Cattery after being 5 goals up at 3/4 time. We beat them in the Elim final about 5 weeks later!! You will have to come up with better than that !!

List needs
That's completely different to their value for us though. DR D is underestimating Tommy who by the way seems best suited to the MCG these days!
-
List needs
Sparrow should be given a go not Melky we need to look forward not backwards and youth is better than aging veterans.
-
List needs
Agree Binman Skill and elite disposal still a big factor for finishing off our work .
-
List needs
Hore not Jire sorry
-
List needs
Travy Don't think Jire is the answer he is an interceptor like Jake and IMO can't play on big talls or smalls not quick or agile enough. Give Locky a go now he has his fitness and form back to mind the oppositions best small.
-
List needs
Locky needs to be tried again after Goody completely stopped his progress last season. Is by far our best small defender and we need a smaller option to mind the pacey and quick Players in the AFL. An investment now will make for big dividends by Finals time in this position and also in one half forward flank spot I think is open or possibly up for grabs.

CASEY: Rd 06 vs Sydney
DeeTox Locky has all the attributes of a back pocket and IMO should mind Weightman on Friday night. He was cruelly discarded about 2/3 of the way into 2020 by Goody. It seemed they any error he made was totally against his selection. Niw that he had be played a really good game ( and regained fitness) he should be given the chance instead of Lord Nev who is sadly not fast enough. If Goody had played Locky all year in 2020 he would have had another few games and be really ready for the AFL now. We need a smaller player with speed as all the mediums and talls flew last week and resulted in a goal out the back. Hibbo May get the call up for Bont minding but has he the full tank? We need to look at our list and not keep going back to Melky and Nev and give younger players a chance that will improve our speed and run! This will mean they are ready for Finals type pressure as injuries and form can dictate selection st any time. Give Locky a go and I was disappointed Chandler ( yes he was not great vs Blues ) but needed at least another match to be fair. We need to pick a running side because if we don't we will be too slow chasing the Dogs!!

What they're saying at Westlakes
Enjoy the game and a start of a special relationship for a life time. Hope we win by 10 goals but play good footy like we have all year.
-
TEAMS: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
It's the whole games effort that counts overall and picking and choosing quarters is not a criteria for selection. I thought given the conditions in the third quarter and his effort it was a lot better than BBB's. Weid took some field marks and was involved in general play that was successful. Admittedly he missed that sofa if a mark in the last but I wasn't one who was lashing him after the game. Marking out if 10 I would give him 5/6 snd BBB 2/3. No comparison IMO.

TEAMS: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
It's called twilight and it means the time in between the day game and night game. Even Finals can be played in this time slot so you better be aware of this possibility.!

All is well in Demonland
The Richmond game was not a disaster we were within a goal or two until a Tiger 5 goal last quarter made the final result look that. we had held them to about 8/9 goals at 3/4 time and our defence ( which was under performing like the whole team vs Hawks ) stood up well. So then we played about a quarter and half of average footy vs Bombers at Marvel then Tommy Mac hit the scoreboard and we didn't look back on a 56 goal win. Eon every game by big margin till Pies gave us an outside running wake up call on QB. We started to realise then too many inside mids and bees around the honeypot and it's taken till this year to solve most of those issues.

What is our best team currently?
Make no difference to our playing sticks in 2021. Hard to justify even if comes back earl y August say and very difficult to place in our defence Petty better defender Marty not great on smalls IMO and is interceptor 3rd or 4th in line. Hope Marty does/can come back late in year and get 2/3 Casey games snd Finals there.

Hardwicks Hoods
Not on present form ( or since 2018 for that matter )
-
Jordan Clark
Either of those Diggies would be fine and a lot cheaper than Cerra!!
-
Jordan Clark
How much more room has Carlton got left in their salary cap? Perhaps theirs is not so soft!!!
-
Jordan Clark
We don't have a real issue on the wing! Angus us quite capable of playing his role as he is now in a premiership team and can be moved into the midfield whenever required. Not saying Clark may not be a great pick up and I agree his pace and versatility is tempting. But I am not dropping Angus who offers a real support outlet in defence as well as can link up with the forwards and intercept stray kicks under pressure.
