seventyfour

Why did we take Henderson in the SSP? Showed little at AFL level, not doing a lot at VFL level and isn't filling a need. AJ, for all his limitations, at least fills a hole. He'll be depth for two years then probably delisted. Not sure I understand Henderson taking a list spot. Add to Billings, Fullarton, McAdam, these are all list slots that could be with kids to accelerate our next tilt at a flag. Instead we've got no depth and very little VFL youth other than Tholstrup, Kentfield, Adams.

Lever sucks when he comes back from injury. Takes him weeks to get into it, and he gets injured ever year. He can't be a future captain. The reality is we're lacking depth and our kids are too raw to compete now. I just hope that the likes of Petracca and Kozzy will be around by the time they come on.

7.13 you serious

You can look forward to JVR doing the same next week (or Jeffo running around offering nothing)

Goodwin better roast at half time, especially the midfield. Lucky to be where we are.

Season over

Peppering away, need more of the big sticks though. I am happy with the way we respond when challenged now but lapses and poor kicking will coat us many more games if we don't sort it out.

Those losses to Hawks and GWS hurt. Genuine 8-point games when it comes to our finals chances. What's happening to the Hawks isn't uncommon. A young team rises ahead of schedule, gets 'found out', takes some losses and loses confidence. They'll be back but it's worrying signs for them right now. Sicily is the worst captain in the league.

With four mid-season draft picks, I'd be shocked if they didn't pick up Tomlinson, he can play straight away.

So everyone at Casey is at very least a few seasons into their career, or mature-aged, yet none are banging down the door. I pray for our list to stay fit. We have three picks going into the 2025 draft, we'll have to trade for more.

He's turned into 2021 Spargo, but more athletically gifted and a much longer kick. That bullet pass to Kozzy in the pocket was beautiful.

IMO we'll need to pray for the downfall of GWS or the Hawks to make finals, all the other teams in the 8 look too strong. Unfortunately we already blew chances to beat both of those teams in what could be '8 point games'. Still, I'll be happy to challenge for finals and ruin the pick we gave to Essendon.

We're flying but the lack of pressure coming up from the VFL team is a little concerning. Really thankful for our fit playing list at the moment. Makes a huge difference when you can play your best 22.

Some decent inclusions for Sydney. Doubt Culley or Laurie make it, interested to see who goes out for Lever. No Viney. Hopefully they're just being extra cautious, which I'd love, and it's nothing serious.

That's good for us - we can take advantage of it.
