Writes itself, really.

What the hell are you talking about? Healy was on us from early in the season. Didn’t drop off when we had our dip mid year. Not everyone has a nefarious agenda against you.

I didn’t know a fait accompli resigning of our flag winning coach beloved by the entire group could bring such trolling beahviour. He is getting an extension to 2025 or 2026 (hell maybe 2027) and that is that. What is the argument about? How quickly he won the flag? Quite quickly actually; quicker than Hardwick and Thompson, a year off Clarkson.

To be fair - we have been a disappointment for a lot longer…

Petracca and Oliver clearances are a quality that make it hard to measure clearance numbers. The come back in 3rd and the start of the 4th had power running clearances out of the centre that lead directly to Fritschs speccie recover goal, the next Brown goal, the Sparrow goal, Oliver’s goal and the first of the last to Brown. Not to mention the stoppage clearance from Harmes that started the music… I think that metres gained from stoppage or scores from stoppage are a more accurate way to measure the impact we are having.

Viney is a very good player and leader at the MFC and will be forever in history as an important premiership player. Consistently the best finals player across 2018 and 2021 campaigns.

Sorry to add to the groupthink, but they get the ball in contested situations AND try to do something with it. That is a recipe for high Clanger numbers and flags.

Charlie Spargo: “yeah… yeah… 50m is one kick…yep.”

Hmmm. Lot of people would love for Harris to fail. She is playing humble at the minute, a bit too humble. But looking at how a selfless forward should play I am impressed. She is always meeting the footy. She is backing up when the ball is on the ground and she just competes in every contest. She could have a bit more form in her marking I reckon but she has been a solid contributor to this excellent team.

Never thought I would see a reference to The Core on here…

Her kicking for a 19 year old is great, she gets to that many contests as you say. I used to tell some ‘could be jets’ to not wait for their opponent to decide where the next contest was for them. McNamara dictates that. And her confidence is just so refreshing. Also Ally Brown really impressed me. Weird that she has bounced around the last 4 years. Reads the ball so well, decent mark and skills.

McNamara my new favourite player. Great skills and @Chookis spot on with the Langdon comparisons. She seems up and about with the girls tho - like a spark plug. I hope they can keep that midfield group together for a few years - they are all in the 21-24 age group. Great to see Harris playing like that too - so unselfish and she got a bit of reward. But that was great fun! Go Demons.

The NBA are getting around this constant issue of unavailable players through what we would consider ‘3 game contracts’. That would be the more cost effective way of supplementing as needed. expand lists from the season for all clubs would mean base wages per annum of >$100k for each player. Some clubs will escape too much disruption during the season and some will be decimated. If I was the FD, I would identify 8-10 Casey players that could fill in roles and begin to bring them across those roles.

Cest la vie hue.

I believe in you.

Word on the ‘pharmacist street’ is that the PCR testing requirement for domestic travel will go Jan 1. Don’t know if it will happen but he is has conversations with those that can make those calls.

Could have said the same thing about McDonald who stuck around because nobody wanted him in any realistic way. And, ironically, I think Weid can get above TMac quickly in the pecking order. The only thing TMac has on Weid is that he has actually done something… another reason why Sam didn’t move on - he has got no runs on the board at a new club that picks him up on the cheap. They would not hesitate to discard if things aren’t happening quickly.

Santa came early for us. It’s been great and awful virtually hanging with you people for the past decade and a half. rp
