I like the training jersey the one with the monogram. Use that one in white and we will be set. Also I agree the current one is the best we have had for a looooooong time. Also it seems to be lucky for us last year.

the banner should consist of Norm Smith, Ron Barassi, Robbie Flower, Garry Lyon, Jim Stynes, David Neitz and Nathan Jones

I agree, this banner should only have the greats of our club as only one of the current playing list deserves to be up there.

BREAKING: Hawthorn has secured Jono O'Rourke + pick 43 from the Giants in exchange for picks 19 + 40

Yeah but he never ran both ways

May be able to play if the doctor says the ankle is ok put me down at this stage to play

I really think we need to be looking at a midfielder with pace. That is something we are sorely lacking. Especially when we get the ball from defence to the midfield, there is literally no-one who has the speed to take the game on and deliver the ball. Hence why it is always stop start. (Also Roos instructed us to play that way aswell)

Although thinking about it, don't underestimate how much strain will be on his body changing from training on his own to a full pre season, with the soft tissue injuries already his hamstring/calf could just snap again and he will be useless to Geelong. Not to mention his foot injury

So angry at this development, The AFL is turning into the Premier League, where the good clubs get better and the clubs down the bottom get shafted, It's a joke, if we don't improve soon our good players will just nominate a club they want and they will go there.

Keep Toumpas, He's only had one full season, the other he was injured for half of it, The one I would look to offload would be Trengove, has currency as he was captain and can still play a role for them, For us I think we needed him to keep his explosiveness and unfortunately I don't believe he will regain that. Pick 2 plus Trengove could entice Adelaide, regardless of what they have said.

WHY DO THESE MELBOURNE FOOTBALLERS KEEP [censored] ON JIM STYNES MEMORY .. FIRST SCULLY LIES TO HIS FACE NOW CLARK LEAVES TO GO TO GEELONG.... IM OVER FEELING BAD FOR HIM NOW GOES TO A CLUB WHO WILL NOT GIVE US ANYTHING DECENT FOR HIM AT LEAST WITH THE PIES WE COULD GET LUMUMBA FOR F ALL

I may be the only one here but I think Dunn was one of the most important men on the ground today. Not only his kicking but the fact that he always presented hard and demanded the ball and usually marked it. He gave us a real target coming out of the backline which made it easier for Dawes and Frawley to make their leads closer to goal

I didnt mean close the club I meant renaming it like we did when we were the fuschias or the hawks did

Only other thing I can think of rather than merging. Simple fact is the AFL cannot continue to keep us in the competition if we no longer bring in results, fans, memberships or money.

This may sound stupid however it has been done before... If this year turns out how we fear it may be is it worth starting compeltely fresh and rebranding the club under a different name ?? A completely fresh start may be the change we need, new name new colours and new feel about the club.

One player who I would love to see back is Clisby. I think with his pace and also his ability to shut down an opponent he could be a very handy inclusion

If they can play Tom McDonald who is severely underdone then they can play Dawes next week, McDonald can barely run and we all know he definitely cannot kick. Even Georgiou who kicks like a 5 year old still hits targets. If he can kick the football then he is already ahead of McDonald in terms of being useful to the side, bring him in.

He's not coming back he is already focused on his life after football

Ran straight down the race but it could be a precaution. Don't expect to see him line up next week against St. Kilda.

Unfortunate. How about JKH? Are there any players we could put into the AFL side to remotely resemble a forward line?

Quarter time and after scoring the first two points, Casey have gone into a shell and most of the game is being played in Willi's half.

Casey 0.2.2 Williamstown 3.7.25

Max Gawn has been good when in the ruck and around the ground and Nev Jetta has done well in defence but poor disposal has led to continual turnovers.

Like last week's game with Melbourne there doesn't seem to be anybody in the forward line. The coach has a lot of work to do with this team.

Can you confirm Jack Viney done for the day ?

It would be truly difficult for Mitch, considering how much he loves his football and also the club. Not being able to play would be depressing and I echo all of our statements in wishing Mitch the best and hoping that he can take all the time he needs to get back to where he wants to be

For round 1 selection I would say

Viney

JKH

Tapscott

Clisby

The rest have had very little pre seasons and will need a few weeks in the VFL to get some match practice and form.

Of those players I would say

Gawn

Kent

Strauss

Tapscott will have the better chances of getting into the team should their form suggest it.

Salem and Hunt look to be players that will play the majority of the year in the VFL unless they show unbelievable form

Pedo and Strauss out of the squad to play in Alice Springs.

Watch it online if you are worried about the app

There are websites available for it

He is a big bodied, classy player who after being dogged by injuries his whole career, has played fantastically well in the WAFL and also in his one AFL game.

Also we only used pick 54 on him, so it's a win/win situation for us.

FWIW I believe he will have a very good year, but we have to lower our expectations as even though he has been on an AFL list, he has only played the one game so he is essentially new to the pace of the AFL.

Give the kid a break for god sake

First pre season

Has been ill

Has great skills

Also and I must stress this point .... We actually have players that may keep him out of the side

Don't put the kid on a pedestal yet, he hasn't even played a VFL game
