Sign Yze please. What a lovely kicking action.

Surely we take Noah Yze with some sort of late pick or rookie spot

Tholstrup kick inside 50 then was a beauty.

No, Williamstown do

Huge turnout at Casey…further evidence this is a terrible alliance

Pickett and the dinky kick that goes 7 metres off the outside of the boot, when he could handball, are massive momentum killers. They always happen when we are on the run and lead to turnover goals. Something he is going to have to iron out. While the majority of our mids need to lower their eyes, sometimes he needs to lift his. He misses the targets 30 metres ahead, whilst trying to kick to a guy less than 10m away

Does anyone know where and when Casey will play the first final? Looked on the AFL App, VFL homepage and Player HQ, but none have any info.

Was this legit? Some have suggested he answers the question about Choco not realising he’d been axed. Does he actually intend on giving Williams a role or was it slip of the tongue?

My concern exactly. We don't have the supports in place for an untried assistant, who has job hopped between clubs and only recently expressed a desire to be a full time senior coach. Has been a forwards coach, GM of Footy, Head of Footy Department...I don't want some experimental plan to see if a bloke can coach full time. We have seen it fail and it has the potential to set us back a decade.

maybe just my MFCSS, but if we bring in Danny Daly, I think we are absolutely stuffed. I have no doubt he is a very accomplished assistant. We, as a club, are seriously at the crossroads. We have an ageing membership base. We have attracted no new fans in decades. We have sacked a premiership coach. Our list is in shambles. If we think an untried assistant can come in, make his mark, enthuse the fan base, then we may as well pack it up. A bloke like that will take years to impact..maybe we have been sucked in by the McCrae example...but his credentials are very different..maybe it's the Fagan example...again, I'd argue very differemt. This club needs to be put back on the map. Danny Daly does not offer that...It could be Fagan. it could be a Neeld...are we taking that risk?

Took me 24 hours to digest that rubbish. It looked bruise free from our leaders. Tracc and Oliver cannot kick the ball to save themselves. I had to retreat to the bar at half time yesterday, and never made it back. Some of the worst football we’ve played all year.

Spot on! But it's just true to form from the media and their bias towards us. They spent the last 2 years having Goodwin in the gun. So many articles that were critical of him. Calls to change coach. Bad for culture. As soon as we sack him, the tune changes and we were wrong to get rid of him. If people aren't awake to the media agenda in the AFL by now, then they aren't listening/watching/reading enough. They all need a spell. I miss Mike Sheahan

Anybody mention Danny Seow?

Carro is a muck-raking fool who has largely become irrelevant. She is writing her own narrative in a bid to unsettle MFC and Buckley. Great that the 🌽 pulled her up on Tassie being a better prospect than Melbourne.

Was at Marvel for his debut and was really impressed. Worth persisting with. As others have pointed out, needs to learn to spoil in D50 or take marks if he is gonna fly. Twice it cost us yesterday. I’m sure that’ll be highlighted in his review this week. Other than that, he is good at reading the play. Moves well and can be an aerial threat. There is much to like.

I don’t think that was the main reason I offered for not being keen on him

We are in transition/rebuild phase. I don't know that going down the untried coach path is what we should be doing to be honest. I know very little about Daly, other than he has been involved in a lot of AFL clubs and never played AFL. He seems like a good bloke, but one suited more to a GM of Football role. If the Club looked worse under his leadership at the beginning of the season next year, he doesnt have the credits in the bank to appease the faithful. Crowds and sponsorship would drop off. The media scrutiny would build. It is a lot on a 'newbie'. He may be great, it's just not the path I'd be going down. I just feel like Buckley could build a professional culture and command respect instantly. I feel he has a fire inside that yearns for a flag, something that has eluded him, despite other degrees of success. He will be hungrier the 2nd time around.

Who is Davis Jarra?

Great post. Sums it up perfectly

Was there something more to the fact we trained at Kevin Bartlett reserve yesterday? We once looked at that site to develop a home base. It then went quiet. Could the new Pres and CEO be about to explore it again ?

Listen to Phil Davis on Whately. Bloke reckons there are "better jobs out there" - love to know which ones. Said the drive to Casey will deter potential coaches. He played for a club based in Blacktown, who play home matches in Canberra...did it impact the Giants? He said it detered players who left making list retention difficult...which players left our club for reasons other than returning to their home state or lack of oppportunity?. Dingley is 1 hour from Melbourne CBD...Have Hawthorn had issues in this regard? just junk hyperbole opinion nonsense. Sticking the boots in.

Only if the AFL apptrove, which they did for Clarkson. You'd hope there would be a degree of conistency, but it's the AFL. I'd hope the Board asked this question before making its decision.

Just listened to him talking with Whately. Agree with your synopsis...however, to me it was, "yeah, I'm hungry and keen, I need to get my head back in that space, as this is the first real opportunity I've had to think about it, but I like the list and think the culture and fortunes can turn quickly". I reckon he may emerge as a front-runner. FWIW, I think he would be better the second time around. I think he would be better coaching outside of the Collingwood bubble he was a part of for so long. I think he would build immediate connections with players and demand instant respect from them. He has been my preference for a while, based on the way he analyses our games. He may have been watching closely for other reasons, who knows?

Will move into mark Williams’ role

We need to abandon Casey from this pre-season. Just use what we have at Gosch's/AAMI.
