Roost it far

3 word analysis Waste of thread

I’ve been thinking about this since I asked the original question. I’m in agreement with others who believe the club should be able to raise the funds with or without government input. In saying that surely I can’t see a situation where the Fed and State governments don’t offer a financial input. The community benefit is an easy sell. The area is largely a wasteland used by a handful of NIMBY dog walkers.

If Government don’t chip in they’ll have some serious questions to answer considering the largesse piled into other AFL clubs. The community access will be the sell and if our board and CEO can’t raise the funds then they should resign on mass. We can no longer remain the only club without a proper home base. We all wait patiently 😂

Are you saying that if the government don’t come to the party the project is dead?

Macintosh was a role player who worked his butt off and sacrificed for the team. That’s the comparable player we have in size, strength and likely role in Johnson. As I said in my initial post…..if he’s good enough. Nowhere am I comparing games played as a marker but I’m glad you could find something to ping at…..keep up the good work chaps.

He’s comparable to Kamdyn Macintosh at Richmond. A big strong body who is happy to be a bit player and follow coaches instructions for the benefit of the team. As others have said he won’t die wondering. We’ll wait and see if he’s good enough.

Yes it’s frustrating but this is an absurd take and what’s playing out.

Solid back up and is getting an opportunity to extract the best out of his game. May surprise but likely another year at Casey.

Would that be the same Government that allowed the CFMEU to use the States coffers to feed themselves and their mates….thats not due diligence it’s called looking the other way and hoping no one else finds out. They were linked to outlaw bikie groups, probably a pretty clear warning.

Yep and all of them looked at the dollars and just as quickly looked away from any due diligence. You, I and #mauriesy clearly have different ways of judging highly paid CEO’s who’s job it is to work in the best interests of the club.

Good get from Guerra and in true corporate fashion not a peep from him when we axed them and how it came about that we allowed them to sponsor us. I certainly don’t want to start bagging our new CEO but things like this really [censored] me off with corporates. Lots of great talk but nada when things go wrong.

Best preseason report season we’ve ever had. I do hope we can get Toby Sinnema on our list this year. Have a Great Xmas all!

I tend to agree that Gawn has run his race. We fell back into a team of individuals since the flag and that is Gawn and Goodwin’s biggest failing. If I were King I’d be stamping TEAM on the forehead of the next Captain.

That’s not our best starting midfield. Viney or Steele make way for Langford. We need to get Humphrey or Butters in there.

He likely won’t wash his Endone down with a nice glass of red wine.

Guerra needs to explain how we allowed these clowns on our sponsorship roster. He likely then needs to remove them. Not a great look. It still remains to be seen to be seen if all the talk can translate. I really hope it can because his role is so important to how we progress from here.

I’ll boo him for sure but I’ll boo Petracca. I’m an easy boo though. Might boo Oliver depends if I need a laugh or not.

Feels like gif time to me

Interesting to note that Freo were the worst for marks inside 50 yet apparently they have some of the best marking key forwards in the game. With Oliver and Petracca gone I’ve no doubt we’ll be looking to vastly improve our kicking patterns inside 50. It’s been our Achilles heal as has been discussed here for 3 years.

Buckley was never the right choice. IMO he had“come save us Nathan” vibes all over him, which is the last thing this club needed. My remaining concerns lie around Guerra. Is he going to be the strong guiding hand we desperately need in that position? King certainly appears to have attracted some great coaching talent to the club and as you say he’s done it in a way to allow us to do it on a beer budget. Along with the addition of guys like Mihochek and Steele we’ve got great on field leaders to support a pretty talented group of youngsters. On top of that although Goodwin wasn’t perfect he didn’t insist on trading out our picks over the last few years and you have to respect him for that.

Over a billion dollars for a 23,000 seat stadium is a nonsense imo. I do lean heavily away from big d**k projects as almost always there’s a smarter, cheaper and better way to do these things. From toll roads, to tunnels to stadiums rarely are the public not getting rolled for corporate profits.
