GAMEDAY: Rd 04 vs Geelong
I find it very interesting that the very players who should be driving standards and leading our club are the ones who've caused our club the most disturbance. Now whether that disturbance was more media beat up than fact they put us in the media's headlights. On the other side to that is the fact that a new game plan takes time to embed in any side and can be frustrating to all especially those used to success. The big question for this group of over fed ego's is can they still fight for a win. Not a close loss but a win. I think the next 6-8 weeks will define how we see these guys long term. I want to see us hunt in packs, run back and forwards hard and get around each other after every goal, tackle, shepherd, gut run, smother, you name it, I want to see a team supporting each other again. I'm annoyed with the senior players and I'll be more annoyed if we get smacked tonight. Geelong by 54.

CASEY: Rd 03 vs Geelong VFL
What’s happened to George?

PREGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong
We’re short good kicks and small forwards and players who can tackle. We’ll be better if Spargo finds form.

Time to go Goody?
We don’t need a full rebuild but we may need some fresh eyes. We’ll have a better idea in 6-8 weeks

TRAINING: Thursday 3rd April 2025
A ruckman’s role around the ground in a fast transition game isn’t the role he once had. His role is to win taps and give our mids first use. He then is used to cover holes to limit the run of our opponents.

TRAINING: Thursday 3rd April 2025
If and it’s still an if we’re watching the end of May, which I suspect we are, we need to get games into Adam’s. Our defence is still sound albeit under pressure and not providing great rebound without McVee and Windsor. A defence of Adam’s Petty Howes Windsor Lever McVee Is fine if both Adam’s and Howes develop or are replaced. Adam’s is unknown at AFL level and if he doesn’t make it Turner is currently the replacement leaving us a bit thin up forward unless Jefferson makes it alongside JVR.

Time to go Goody?
If we take Longmire I’m done. He’s finished as a top level coach. There’s a use by date on everything and he’s reached his. Football Director, sure but if we go for a new coach grab the best assistant available.

Jack Viney Extends Contract Until 2028
Viney’s been an excellent player for us, yes the contract is too long but only if the price is exorbitant. Stop belittling his career, he’s a great of the club. Not only has he played his share of cracker games he’s driven standards.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
As an option we could take White and Sinemma, trade out The Brand and take Butters. That’s a pretty good result for us.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I’d have a crack at Butters

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Any idea if he’s expected to be a highish draft pick?

PREGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong
One thing I truly hate is “honourable “ losses. The ones where you are watching the game and the 3-4 goal margin remains from the Cats initial burst. You sit there and watch as we draw to within 12 points with 10 minutes to go only to see the Cats kick an easy out the back goal. These games are truly grating.
