Comparing to JVR again who is a different beast for his age. it’s Jefferson’s first year, so stupid to keep comparing a rare talent, to one who needs some time. But again, enjoy writing 18 year olds off, it’s a great look😂

His eyes are paid to pick players, and built this Melbourne list form scratch😂😂😂

I did watch, and it’s a coaching issue no doubt but also, Carlton made that game very ugly and didn’t help what we did at all. They flooded the backline at all costs to stop score, which created no space. Not all teams do that, bottom 4 teams do, which Carlton are just that.

After this long, I thought people would trust Jason Taylor by now, who this guy he was huge on. I guess not. I can’t wait for him to prove many wrong, because I have no doubt he will.

Our forward structure was Brown-Tmac, Fritta and Gawn/Jackson in our Premiership year. Our defence was Petty May Lever. It never needed to be changed other than personnel. 2 key defenders and the interceptor. And 2 key forwards and medium tall with a resting ruckman. Brown standing in the square alleviates so much pressure from Roo purely by the defender he takes. Fritsch gets a third tall who he can play off if Brown is there. I struggle to understand why people can’t see it to be honest.

Brown doesn’t need to work up the ground, in fact he doesn’t need to leave 50. That is now, and evidently Roo’s job. If he gets it kicked at him, if he’s in front, he marks it, or he gets a free kick. Time and time again we have failed to live up to what he needs with direct kicking to him on a lead. He’s not a bomb on head forward and I cannot believe or ever fathom how the coaches can’t see this. If he puts his arms in front, it’s an arm chop or a defender falls into his back. we should be playing someone on Darcy Moore, unpopular opinion I’m sure, but that should be Jake Melksham.

Weitering was playing on Roo last night. That said it all. Brown is needed for structure. No club or player is nervous about Schache, they never have been, and likely never will be. Browns first two games showed he’s worth persisting with. Again, he will never go well at VFL with the standard of delivery, umpiring and flow of the game. It’s very obvious isn’t it?

Are your standards based on JVR? Because if they are, have a reality check. In the context of big forwards, Roo is a massive anomaly in that not many come in and have an impact straight away and Jefferson isn’t ready. Not many big forwards are expected to be, but so many on this page especially think he’s going to dominate games like Roo did last year when it’s just not realistic at all, not to mention them being very different players also.

Got dropped a week after 90 point victory over the second worst team in the comp.

Hardly a surprise with who we have in there.

Brown started the season with 8 goals in two matches and the club admitted he shouldn’t have lined up against Sydney with his back injury. Will never look great at VFL level with sub par ball movement and delivery. His inclusion into the side will help Roo and Fritta tenfold. I very much hope he’s back in soon and from listening to an interview from Richo last night, he’s not far away.

Bill is a young star. What a first, second, third and fourth effort to finish it off.

Laurie is such a clean footballer. Hope he gets a crack soon. Will only get better playing with our firsts.

He’s taller than Trac😂

Jeffo has already looked much better today because Tmac Melksham and Smith aren’t there. Long may it continue

Casey just continuously bomb the ball in the forward line because no one leads just like Melbourne do. Yuck!

Brayden Crossley is his name. Used to play for Gold Coast and got sacked with a 12 month ban from footy for testing positive to cocaine in his system after a NEAFL match in 2019.

Jefferson already looks so much better without a clunky forward line of bigs. Is never going to look great when we have Brown, Tmac, Smith, Schache and Melksham in there as well as him. looks a much better mix for him to develop without all those guys taking up space.

Clarry will play Kings Birthday barring a significant setback.

Tmac hasn’t looked very good since about halfway through 2021. Can’t believe Brown has been frozen out since his first couple of games this year. Very weird. He’ll never play that well at Casey. Needs that silver service, and not often Div 2 footy will provide that.

Guarantee Gus won’t start there

Apologies.

A bit like Tom Sparrow? Very interesting take. Hard at the footy yes, but don’t think they’re very similar. Sparrow is crash and bash, Taj more breaks lines in and out of traffic.

Was hoping Howes would get a go but if it’s Taj, go well Son of💪🏼

Big.
