Brilliant from Jeffo!

AFL app and website

Right idea from Bill to take the corridor but poor execution.

Yep, exactly this. It’s all good to rack up 35+ a week at Casey but when you kick out, dump kick out of D50 and consistently lose 1 on 1’s, the stats on the eye really don’t paint/tell the full picture/story.

Jeffo getting his hands on it early. So much better without the extra tall. One of Brown or Schache is ok. But both + Jefferson? No good.

People seem very surprised that our kids struggle against seasoned VFL players. Melksham, Spargo, Brown, Hore, Schache, McAdam (2nd quarter), Hunter (half time) and those missing from last year (JJ, Dunstan Harmes, Munro) not being there as senior players around the younger guys unfortunately is detrimental and it shows 🤷🏻‍♂️

BBB in for who? No chance. Surely. Bowey will come straight back in.

2025.

Goody confirmed in his presser that McAdam wouldn’t play against Carlton because it’s a short break off the Geelong game. A marathon not a sprint.

Richo was pretty adamant McAdam would get at least one more week at Casey after only playing 2.5 quarters against Richmond last week. No need to rush I don’t think. But excited for when he does finally debut. X - Factor 🔥

Melksham has said for a while and publicly that his aim is to be available by Kings Birthday. Bowey is close. Outside chance for Carlton but more likely the week after.

Not all talls come through and dominate straight away. Some take time, hence Melbourne extending his contract to 26’ so early because they were and are aware of that.

Stats look good on paper. Tomlinson had 37 and was average. Had 4 kicked on him. Kicked out of full back and dump kicked at least 50% of his possessions. Hunter was caught doing too much. A few nice things but he shouldn’t be anywhere near the 22.

Totally agree. When people see the stats they’re very quick to write off Jefferson. Not sure he’s got the best shot at it being surrounded by the giants in that line. Not to mention Joel Smith was in there for a lot of it last year too at Casey.

Strong case for what? To stay at Casey for the foreseeable ? I agree.

If we can keep McAdam fit it’ll be an absolute weapon/luxury. Play him out of the square. His day looks to be done as he’s now running laps.

Great mark, great kick Fullarton👏🏼

Great dukes.

The stats don’t show that great mark from Jeffo. Think he’ll be much better when a player like Schache isn’t in the side. Sounds silly but Jeffo doesn’t get a lot of space when Brown - Schache and one of Fullarton/Verrall sit down there too. Not ideal for his development.

McAdam is super impressive. Fullarton has awesome hands too.

How is that not a mark? Rubbish umpiring so far.

A shame if he’s injured. Would love to hear he’s the carry over emergency though.

When I mentioned the two full games I more meant that he’s played in two full matches. So it’s not as if he’s underdone. As for the continuity forward of the ball, I guess that’s up to the coaches eye.

Disco made a difference when he went forward in the second half last week. The coaches liked him there last year too. Provides a strong marking contest. He also played a VFL scratch match the week before the Port Melbourne win. So two full games is enough I’d say.
