The 2 former Casey players nominated for the Fothergill-Round- Mitchell Medal for best Under 23 player, George Grey and Corey Ellison, have now both been named in the VFL Team of the Year 40 person squad, which is open to AFL listed players.
Jefferson in and at CHF. God help us.
Agree with Sestan. Im not a particular fan, but he has played better than many of the fringe over an extended period and deserves a shot.
Actually I retract that and apologise.
I had read an incorrect report that a misnamed former player had given a reference. That player had some years ago testified that he punched an opponent after racial abuse. He later admitted it was untrue.
The reference in the Cameron case was from Eddie who is a legend.
Mea culpa.
Yes, but am I allowed to point out that Cameron had an elder speak as to his character, plus a reference from a player that has acknowledged many years ago falsely accusing his striking victim of a racial slur to justify/excuse striking.
Having played, not well, in the Yarra valley mountain league in the 70's, I regarded myself more 1975 than 2024.
I think the Maynard disgrace propelled me into 2023 and this is in the same category.
So having read that, I looked at the vision again.
Parker clearly ran past the ball.
I am pretty sure that Smith, the big fella, being completely unaware, did not then decide to head butt Parker and manage to pull it off.
It always seemed to me that, where the transgressed player misses games due to the injury caused, the transgressor's penalty should be at least as long.
Also, one game should be served when next playing that team.
KC or someone else should feel free to correct me, but if you mean the players that are not AFL listed, I believe they all turn up to training. Then selections are made based on how many and which listed players are playing for Casey that week, thus the spots that are available.
Tough gig.
