58er

Any thing good to say??

One of our very best and played right up to that form in the GF. Third best on ground and have Vimeo back this year very much in form. Keep on going Salo and hope you play in another flag with us in the next year or two. Congratulations on your 150 games with the mighty Dees.

Really WW ! All your figures prove what people are saying snd that is Kossie is not playing as well as he can. This is his fourth year now and we all would have expected him to raise the bar especially after Round1 's tremendous form when playing in the centre ball ups and a bit round the ground! (He has not done this recently and Goody should be asked why). I believe his impact is much less and you didn't even mention the over the top attempts for MOC which ha has no fit near any at all and should be waiting front and centre or at the back for crumbs to kick goals. Oh and the free kicks especially down the ground are costly. Your poor attempt to say that others are wrong has misfired blatantly snd I love Kossie but he has got to be more team orientated and impactful now more than ever with Fritta and Clarry out.

For all the doubters about our 2022 Woe's debut is the third from our VFL flag plus Chin's 15 games. He had a reasonable wait after his first 3 or 4 AFL games. For those who have chronically undervalued our Casey Dees Flag in 2022 and the team efforts it's great credit to all the Coaches and the boys for all their training and playing and extra WA pre season work. Rooy back this week to replace Fritta would be great.

I'll back the Coaches etc. in this one KDA. Might be time for you to have a rest on selection etc. for a while the Club has it covered.

Absolutely Taj well done and go out and play your best. Cheers and congrats.

The VFL is totally videoed each week and available in the AFL website. All Casey goals are repeated on our website generally each week. it appears you are not utilising the AFL or our websites for info and club news.

Could have even been a handball !!!

Don't move May that's suicide Petty CHF and Tommo back. JVR yo replace Fritta. BBB more time esp st Marvrl this Sat night.

Describe WHY the A graders ( who they are) please individually and why are they only the ones at fault.

That's 11/13 years ago !!! Doesn't change his ability to read and summarise a game. You are a RJay clone with no idea of footy tactics or basics Gary has been involved for over 20 years and his summary was 100 % perfect. Hope our dumb Coaches and footy players were listening. Trouble is Goody is so stubborn he can't see any changes till far too late! Refer Petty vsLions in last quarter of Semi going forward with 5/6 mins left!!! Refer Petty played a good half before injury vs Hawks as CHF Now this has been abandoned even after Tommo played a magnificent game vs Pies. Why ffs!!!???? He had Kossie in the middle earlier in season with some success but no longer now Why not again ???? Goody still persisting with same forwards/mids who are a shadow of themselves of 2021 ie Harmes ANB and Spargo and Chin is in need of a Casey call up like JVR Also seems incapable of getting Stafford to produce another forward plan involving other players Like last year persisting too long with failure. At least Taj and Howes have been consistently good for a few matches try them. Disco is prob another but the defence is not the issue refer though to my comments re Petty and Tommo. We do not help ourselves really making dumb on field and off field decisions or in this case no decisions at all or forgetting some previous ideas which had some merit.

Does of course not dies!

Well it's real and Trac wears his heart on his sleeve. He needs some mental help and a new coach to help him. He's such a genuine person you can see him suffering when he misses. He deserves to be free of his goalkicking demons and let's hope he dies ASAP.

At long last a microscopic look at Kossie's underperforming and approach to the team. Partly I also blame the Coaches( Goody and Stafford ) for not getting any apparent improvement since early in the season. Not any on the ball or cameos at half back to get him " started" and no team play limitations like his ridiculous marking attempts that are virtually all "unrealistic attempts". Sad that since his contract extension the fizz has gone out of his team play and our results have been ordinary as well. We can't afford our equal best goal kicker to fade off in firm and contribution to our efforts .

Good point KITP and Your namesake Kossie would do well to do some some searching on his game and attitude ie flying for MOCentury and no hope of getting it. His job is to crumb and wait at the front mainly ( occasionally at back ) for opportunities to convert.

Fair enough if the medicos get on top of it and judge that he be managed.

Are you for real? Jack does not need managing when in top form.

I told a WC supporter last week ( on a Train Special Trip all around Switzerland heavy AFL discussion) that no one on the East Coast of Australia especially in Vic cared a toss about the Eagles and their predicament. In fact that them and The Pies are most hated opponents as their supporters are the worst and most arrogant in the AFL. He still thinks that it will only take 2 seasons to be back in the hunt but alas is a bit impatient about who they are going to trade out and when are they going to start getting rid of most of their gassed and banged up heroes of 2018. And who is going to want any of them in their present malaise?

That's part of the problem really A great side has multiple type players who can stand up and play strong but win games on their ability alone. we have clearly not enough X factor players with ability up forward at the moment to win games especially in tight last quarters. This Goody likes certain types all over the ground has to alter as it is not working. Howes perhaps is a chance to be one and I have no doubt that Jefferson when he has another pre season or two will develop his exceptional forward skills. JVR of course should in the next 2 years develop as a fine leader of our attack unless we get another trade in to perform the No1 role.

I really think it's time that Melbourne coaches reassessed the value of our ball winners ( all players) and stop lauding the more talented gatherers who waste their efforts with patchy or very poor disposal. Time to value players who get 12/15 genuine disposals and achieve rexults as score/goal assists or passes to other players in a chain. Our game values are based on our mids as bulls which while it's our standard start of our game we need to become far more concerned about what we do with the ball. It's the same with our goalkicking bring wasted and demoralising by shabby attempts at icing ouff etc good play. Also lead down the ground not into pockets for maximum effect. Until the coaches are prioritising this in our play the waste of talent in this team will be its next biggest feature after our 2021 Flag. And if I I hear Goody poo poo that our accuracy is not one of our biggest challenges thats probably why he has made no move to solve the problem of Greg Stafford still having the forward post as Coach. ( with Chocco sometimes lending a hand. )

Pickett has not dropped six potential MOY. He has not got near most of his flying attempts either too far back or blatantly unrealistic jumps that are spectacularly nowhere near marking. He needs to be coached a little more and set to team standards to become effective again. Where is he when we want a match winner in the last quarter ( Could ask that of many really) like last week and vsFreo. Inaccurate kicking spoils many fruitless Melb forays forward and spoils some good play to some extent.

Sorry not HD ( meant to be he) Salo.

It's up to his 2021 best ever form the last 3/4 games. Agree but HD was a revelation in our flag year,

McVee so you are not that honest!!
