CASEY: EF vs Footscray
J Smith & JJ have only played 5 VFLgames and are ineligible. TMac qualifies with 6 and I would give him a run for 3/4 as well as D Turner. Schache need no longer be played. He is not much of an asset for Casey and won't push into AFL this year at this late stage, esp. as we have J Smith, D Turner and TMac up our sleeves.

Irish Recuits
Around 2000, me and the kids ran out onto the ground afterwards. I started making a hole with my heel to demonstrate a place kick as I was taught by my greatuncle in the late 50's. Bloody security guard made me stop! It's a goddamn police state.

The Run Home
I don't mind playing away first final from 3rd. It gets the away final out of the way while we still have a double chance. Our interstate opponent (win or draw) goes into the other side of the draw. We get a "home" prelim final against Collingwood if we both last. If we lose this first final, we next get a home final against 5th to 8th.

The Run Home
I understood only Richmond in 1967 from 4th and none from 3rd?

It is a ripper. I have always supposed that they had the costumes and props from the Mosely series.

2023 Injury List
Indeed, these would be "imaginary numbers". Several mathematics professors have just stirred in the armchairs and allowed themselves a gentle smile.

2023 Injury List
Down at the Don't Give A Fig Club (yeah, next door to the other), we dispose of the infinity problem by using the Indifference Index. This is defined as 1/(Caring Index -1)

2023 Injury List
I hope it is 2 weeks at Casey to see if he his run back. No loitering in the goal square. He was fairly immobile in the firsts when playing. Yep, probably requires an iffy Grundy performance.

The Run Home
No, not BBrown, North surprisingly let him go in his prime, 2021 and 2022 were good. This is year is patchy albeit without the robust TMac to shoulder the Key Back's physical pressure. Not mooted by the FD but suggested on this forum by posters, Gunston, T. Walker (good this year), Buddy (possible in jest), Darling, probably others. I have set my self a challenge specifying forwards. Well then, Templeton, Moose Henwood, Rod Owen, Ken Roberts (an all-time favourite), Alan Davis, that guy from Footscray, Michael Pickering got a run at CHF. This century. I thought Dawes was quite serviceable but usurped by Weideman. Loved Ben Holland but unfortunately for him, in later years, he was competing for a place against a legend of the club. My beef is mostly that Melbourne used to buy in responsibility in rather develop it in their rogue players, e.g. Sylvia, McClean. They acquired the services of Lewis, Shannon Byrnes. I expect that many names will belatedly pop into head over the next few months.

Anyone for cricket?
I have actually seen the umpires rubbing the shine off the replacement ball to better match the old. Did they do this?

The Run Home
The Petty shall bear us up to Glory! I am most impressed that the FD wanted Petty forward and trained him up to do so as opposed some hare-brained scheme to recruit a fading star.

The Run Home
I spent many minutes wrestling with the finals format. I concluded that if we play Port in the first round, we get the interstate final out of the way. We would play Collingwood in a PF or another team that finished lower than us. I would be content.

Aliir Aliir & Lachie Jones in Concussion Protocol
The Port doc was wrong again IMO. He did not need to perform a test then. He needed to immediately rule both players out of the game. The guidelines state that players must be removed if - the player took No protective action in fall to ground i.e. Aliir - the player has Dazed, blank/vacant stare or player not his/her normal self i.e. Jones There are other criteria such as loss of consciousness but these are not as patently obvious from the replay. The Guidelines (link at bottom) state that there is an external concussion spotter in the AFL Review Centre (ARC) who will flag incidents with the match-day club doctor by approved means. Furthermore, The AFL provides all available broadcast video feeds via the HawkEye system to the club bench at match venues. This link enables the club to utilize real-time video feeds, with variable playback speeds, and multiple camera views. And Sideline video review is mandatory in the assessment of a suspected concussion. On the face of it, this is a good system. It needs also to be investigated if the parts of the system other than the Club Doctor failed. Usually any ineffectiveness of the AFL creates good copy but this will also ruin people's lives. https://resources.afl.com.au/afl/document/2023/03/12/134a48f5-9206-4dd4-b88b-426dd1ea7b31/AFL-and-AFLW-Concussion-Guidelines-March-2023-FINAL-.pdf
