Ollie fan

I cannot think we will go out of the top for - and if we did, we don't deserve a flag. It's all about top two as far as I'm concerned. Go Pies (gulp); go Freo (gulp again)!!

Having a "take it easy" mindset at ANY time in a game is a recipe for disaster.

I doubt if they are tanking, and I don't think any team would at the moment. Surely the lesson has been learned: the draft picks you get can turn out to be duds, and the damage done to team culture is irreparable. Surely, we know that, and I suspect every team has learned from that lesson.

I am completely confident e we can beat either of these teams.

Well that clip is full of it. So no doctor has ever had an injury not respond as predicted? So they should have predicted the infected foot and the setback? And on their figures, he obviously should be a Casey Player....... ...... Full of it

One aspect of his coaching that is not recognised is his capacity to make adjustments to the game at half time. Somehow he just tinkers with things - don't ask me how- and all of a sudden it "looks like a Melbourne game". Of course, many on here think he is a terrible game day coach but there are many games where we improve noticeably after half time (eg last Sunday).

Watching the interview, i can't understand the fuss here. He wasn't rude or arrogant, he was saying it as it is - he needed to get through training and hoped he could play.

So Oliver has polled in 9 out of 10 matches!!?!!??

Everyone loves Bont. But i remember in the great GF that straight after Bont was given every accolade under the sun by BT, Oliver took a bit of responsibility for him and that was the end of Bont......

Don't forget his accurate kicking

We won't

Exactly. Draft picks are a lottery at the best of times.

As i just posted on another thread: fun fact, despite all our forward woes, we are back to being the highest-scoring team in the league.

Fun fact: despite our well known forward woes, we are back to being the highest-scoring team in the league.

How Carlton could let him go is beyond me. Third-generation of a unique Carlton family. He brings his heart and soul to playing for that club, and that is what his strength is. I'm not sure he could do that for another club.

It might have to be this. Brown is no longer the answer, particularly under finals pressures.

I do hope we haven't found our full forward just to lose him again 😪😪😪

100%

Of course i want Geelong to win so second spot is available but, honestly, i absolutely hate them. Has any Geelong player, EVER, accepted that the free paid against him was deserved. I would love to see the dissent rule enforced against them.

That's true. He is quite admirable in that regard.

If he is prepared to do it, i think there is a real role for him as a mentor and (effectively) on-field coach at Casey, as well as continuing his involvement with the women. He is clearly a wonderful person. As i see it, his move to the Dees has been win-win; he got a premiership medal, and he helped us get them.

Im with this. I thought they were fair and largely stayed out of it. The exception was the centre bouncing which was disastrous and directly cost us a goal in one instance, and before halftime (it changed after the break) they were curiously reluctant to recall the bounce.

He was great today. Anyone who couldn't see it wasn't watching.

Petty should definitely return to the backline.......

Oh, i so agree
