Bystander

Hard to believe. Even harder if you had seen Grundy's last game for Casey previously. Inexplicable. How could you lose Grundy and keep Schache who has had plenty of chances.

We need to sort this out: is it "specky", "spekky", "specie" or "speccie"? I think the first. Definitely not third or fourth. But there may be others

I see Anna Pavlou of channel 9 wide world of sports writes that Oliver was "sent back to vfl level" for the practice match. Couldn't she have managed to write "champ stars in vfl practice match". I have had a complete gutful of football media. Big cull coming in my consumption of this garbage. I think on the whole the young men playing AFL/vfl football are a fine group of people. There will be stumbles. And many come from difficult backgrounds. But overall, great. Always looking for a error from any player from any team. So, Anna, no Pulitzer prize for you but you are in the running for the Kane Cornes Award . Prize is a dictionary. Anna graduated in media (football) from Latrobe in 2022 so there is a fair chance, along with Kane, she would struggle to spell "cat".

I would say it isn't medication.

In fairness to Gus, he wrote "my career", not, "me career".

I've got a pet turtle that could have run the AFL's case better. For example, the uncontested "expert" evidence was a joke.

I was just about to write exactly "hang your heads maynard and AFL" when I read your post. You can throw in the people that did the "prosecution of maynard". Pathetic. In 10,20,30, 40 years time if Maynard is remembered at all it will be because of that incident, not for any football achievement.

Jefferson the saviour? I doubt it.

Definitely not. Too sensible and the fans would enjoy it. So, no.

I would have Yze in for Goodwin

Tasmania's population growth hit a hurdle in 1853. Something to do with the abolition of compulsory drafting.

Yes I've heard that. But I don't believe it. Empire building.

Post match player interviews are inevitably boring. However our AFL players come across as JFK and Martin Luther King compared to the tennis players. Malthouse was a disgrace in his surly post match interviews...plumber turned pseudo nuclear physicist/philosopher I feel sympathy for players that would prefer not to do them.

I was waiting, but no one did, so I will. What is 4K.?

I have met many VFL/AFL coaches over the years. Most would take 2 hours to watch 60 minutes. Supporters are locked out of training sessions so that the coaching group can pretend that they have something special. In my opinion.

which recruit did you have in mind ?? fire in the belly ??? luck is a possibility. Good luck with that.

Before your dad and uncle are accused of being unkind, you might explain to the readers under 60 yo that there was a time where it was common for a chap to leave the wife and children in a car while he went in for a few beers. Occasionally, a lemon squash would be brought out to the bride to drink in the car, particularly on country trips

Just don't conceive in December like some shortsighted players.

In the 2 finals Casey played in 2023, winning the first by 100 odd points, Jefferson averaged 3 disposals, no goals and 0.5 tackles. One disposal of 3 metres his only stat in second final. Will probably need to add to that to warrant promotion.

Can we get that bloke an uber to Collingwood.

I understand that young Bailey has done extremely well in business venture and will not be sweating on a big contract to pay the rent, bread and milk post 2024.

Delivery ?

It isn't appropriate to discuss political figures on a footy forum. But now you have started, in 5 decades following politics in Australia...Dan was the worst leader we produced. By far. We will pay for a long time. Did more damage to Victoria than the rabbit.

Jefferson put on any meat ?

And you are correct.
