Deelectable

Howes has been excellent at Casey and is a classy mover. Comes in if Woewodin misses. Laurie deserves a run of games but not sure Optus suits him.

Definitely an inferior surface to the MCG. Potential to be somewhat heavy and slippery of there is a lot of rain.

With Woewodin seemingly injured should come in next week and given a 'Sparrow type' run of games. Confidence needs building at AFL level.

And you the opposite. And you are also personal. Signing off for this Sunday . Enjoy your evening.

You're very slow. Some suggest he was recruited as a forward/ ruck. It was the opposite. Desperate for another ruck, not forward. If we believe your hypothesis for a second the club lost its mind. Who do you suggest was going to fill in for missing Max? Actually, forget it. Bores now. Why would you debate such an illogical person as myself anyway?

Agree to disagree but his not good at either. Trent Ormond Allen was a more physical ruckman. Fullarton is a ruck rover at best. We desperately need to go into the market in the off season.

Didn't say he was a primary ruck but definitely as back up for Gawn. Evidence is in the wording 'Ruck Forward'. Primarily, as opposed to primary, a ruck is his intended role. He has been beaten by most VFL rucks this season.

So who do you think the club had in mind us a back up ruck? 100% that's why Fullarton was recruited.

Again, this is not why he was recruited. Gawn out and not selected. Essendon reserves not the strongest opposition. Schache has had numerous days out at Casey but useless at AFL level. These stats for Fullarton are meaningless.

Totally agree. His ruck craft is barely VFL standard. 52 hit outs to Bryan. Not all against Fullarton but wow! And this guy can't get a game. Zero physical impact.

Commentators smoking something. "Fullarton all over Bryan today". What?! Fullarton picking up cheap possessions around the ground. Bryan has massacred him in just about every ruck contest no more exemplified by the grab out of the ruck and a just missed snap at goal by Bryan. Mystifying.

Disagree. He was basically the Grundy replacement. Ruck who could play some time forward. He is not particularly good at either.

And who does he replace? He Waa not recruited for that role anyway. We're desperate for a genuine back up ruck.

Best game I've seen Sestan play.

Perhaps if we're out of the running in a few weeks I'd like to see Laurie get a run of games. Very consistent at this level and knows where the goals are. Replace Sparrow.

Yes but Fullarton was recruited primarily as a back up ruck to Gawn. He is a mile off it. As a ruck rover type he has been good so far today but that is a bit of an outlier. JVR and Petty are stronger in the ruck than him.

Fullarton getting enough disposals and a goal but is a twig alongside Bryan and is being mauled. Given that ruckwork is his primary role a two year contract is a worry. I guess he'll just be a Josh Schache replacement for 12 months.🙄

Dee's have gone ahead of the Pies on the ladder without kicking a ball!!😃

At least one game Crisp was sub. Shouldn't count.

And Fullarton is on a two year deal.🙄

I totally agree with the selection given the resources available to us. However, it makes a mockery of the recruitment of Fullarton. Showed very little in his time at Brisbane and his highlights package was underwhelming. His form at VFL has been uninspiring. Yes, we need to add to the midfield but a back up ruckman is number one priority in the off season. Fullarton ain't it!!

Billings and Laurie are both contracted. I'll take it your not serious about Oliver.

Totally agree with this. Whilst I would love Allen we need to really strengthen our mids. Two would be ideal . Hard to get everything you want but the need for a genuine back up ruck that can at least have some forward craft is glaring. We are going to be smashed in that department for the next 3 weeks. Fulfill mids and rucks, avoid the multitude of dramas and injuries and 0we will be amongst it next year. The emerging young talent is both encouraging and somewhat unexpected. Finally, to make Casey a competitive force again would be a bonus.

Would be perfect as shown on Sunday. Given he is still in contract and an RFA at the end of 2025 wondering what it would take to get him? F1 & FFI? Playing as a 26 year old next season it would have to be a 5 year contract on money commensurate to Angus', perhaps even North of that. Does he ruck at all?

Quite remarkable to think that it is more than feasible to say that our best 5 players on the ground were 23 and under. Rivers, Windsor, Kossie, JVR and McVee. Honourable mentions to Chin, Kolt and AMW. Add to that most of our established 'stars' were good to average it's a very encouraging performance. Sure, it's only the Eagles, but it's a 10 goal mauling. Not sure if this has occurred often in the AFL.
