Roost it far

I was actually attributing these numbers to the Blue match Geelong us by 21 61,578

Us by 17 71,453

I think the club noted what happened early last year. The full mechanics of our game style are yet to be fully clear. I’m looking forward to seeing it all as the year goes on

Not at all.

How many times does the club need to say that McAdam is due longer minutes at Casey before returning before people stop selecting him V the Cats?

What would you say is the small forwards key role? Clearly it was originally as a crumbing option but it’s evolved to be so much more. When the coaches analyse your match performance what do they impress upon you the most…..goals, defence, 2 way running, finding space, crumbing??? What would you put down as the area you’ve improved in the most and also the area that needs most improvement? Also congratulations on working your butt off to make it and then clearly continuing to improve as the years go by. I take my hat off 👍

He needs an op but won’t have it!

They’ll survive alright but in the bottom 6 for maybe 12-15 years

I will never respect a side that gets the draw they get. Sides are forced to play them on a 2 bit public school oval that nets them a ridiculous sum of money. They have a massive unfair advantage.

It’s Richmond and the Saints that are about to suffer. They’re not a lot of high draft picks left come the Tassie side. I hope we manage the next 2 drafts perfectly so we can ride out 4-5 years.

Decidedly pessimistic view GTG. Max will destroy them in the ruck, it’s just up to Max and the kids to take advantage of that dominance. Oliver has clearly been playing hurt and it appears Viney may of been as well. Hopefully they’re closer to their best as if they are we’re every chance.

Collingwood were the masters of this style of play and we shut them down on KB with some ease. We should get over them.

If we can maintain a relatively injury free few months and get McAdam (Carlton), Bowey (Carlton) and Salem back in, then follow that up with the return of Melksham (If he can find some form) we're in a strong position to tackle the back half of the season. Add the likely return to full fitness and form of Petty and the possible introduction of Fullarton or even Verrall and who knows what can happen. Just remember if we can squeeze into the top 4 the finals footy we're likely to see will be contest heavy and that's our one wood when we're fit. It's all about the fitness this year even more so than normal with the amount of top teams.

Don't get suspended

The club has no doubt watched plenty of SVR. He may even get picked. BBB has recently shown he's valuable back up if fit.This will be his last year, even I've stopped bagging him and the club's handling of his contract. Some on here are like a dog with a bone except even a dog eventually finishes chewing.

He’s too good for Casey and we had a giant hole in the forward half

Mid season draft I'd be taking project ruck/forwards. I'd leave the taking of mids to the draft top 20.

Nothing has to give except patience, in that many here need some regarding Petty.

The reason the next 2 weeks are a minny litmus test is we need to bank some wins to guarantee top 4

Can’t argue with that. It’s a one week penalty to prevent it but the AFL dropped the ball because one of their pin up boys was first to go. For a professional sport the level of umpiring and tribunal decisions are incredibly amateurish. It’s actually embarrassing that the AFL believed putting more amateur umpires in the field was the solution rather than making them professional’s and training them 5 days a week. I look forward to those concussed from this game receiving a payout that goes close to bankrupting the sport. The whole administration needs a giant kick up the bum.

I’d really love to beat both these sides. I have no idea how good or not quite we are this year. Our mids are down, I can’t see how that continues. I think our forward half is 10 weeks of injury free footy from being quite strong. We have to finish to 4 so probably need to win at least one of the next two.

Our defenders will do what they do, it’s upto the midfield and forwards to cone to the party

We can and should ignore Schache

I tell you what, Demonland will be in raptures if we win the next 2

Those thinking that Petty will be dropped are way out of touch with reality
