They’re going around in circles.

Still no spare ruckman to take on the competition’s big hitters (if Goodwin uses Preuss as a foil for Gawn in the AFL side or in case of injury) other than the previously untried Buxton-Wales.

Personally, I just can’t wait to see Hogan and Schultz reunited. It’s been a long time.

Working today so I tried to catch up via streaming but it kept stopping in mid play. Hopefully, the technology will improve. Preuss looks a definite factor for opposition defenders to deal with.

Apparently on tonight. Anybody interested?

Quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of reading the argy bargy that continues to derail training reports. As much as I possibly can, I will be deleting such posts on sight and recommending banning posters (without any favour) if they stray off the topic of training and in particular if they represent personal attacks which are also likely to result in suspension or permanent bans for posters.

The game was definitely broadcast on television and from memory, it was on delay in Melbourne. There were certainly photographers there and photographs were taken. I also vaguely recall seeing a flashbulb popping in one of the shots taken off the screen image. My sister was into making ceramics at the time and she made a plate with the image of the mark of the century on it - I’m going to try to find it.

When you get to this stage it’s often a case of the heart or the head. 1. Neville Jetta vs 6. Tom McDonald 3. Clayton Oliver v s 2. Max Gawn

An excellent point PF. I think that with our list reasonably balanced in most areas, it’s probably worth revisiting as to whether there might be a good back up ruckman out there who could fill that role and add some steel to the ruck situation at Casey. Someone like Marc Pittonet of Box Hill who destroyed us in the grand final would be handy. The only ruckman reported to be at the club (Casey) is a kid from the suburbs who we know very little about and who will face an uphill battle against the AFL and seasoned VFL big men in the competition.

I’m interested to know if anyone’s turned up.

Mid-season draft: When is it and how will it work?

1. Neville Jetta vs 5. Jake Melksham 6. Tom McDonald vs 4. James Harmes 3. Clayton Oliver vs Jack Viney 2. Max Gawn vs 8. Angus Brayshaw

Paul Amy on Twitter “Fair chance Melbourne Category B rookie Austin Bradtke will play some Under 18 football this year. Suggestions around that he’s been given permission from the AFL to turn out for Dandenong Stingrays.” Probably a good idea since it’s 4 or 5 years since he’s played a game of AFL.

Jayden Hunt vs 4. James Harmes 3. Clayton Oliver vs Bayley Fritsch 2. Max Gawn vs Michael Hibberd Christian Salem vs 7. Angus Brayshaw

Nev is our #1 seed but not good enough to get drafted in the AFLX team by Eddie Betts. Are they feuding?

Only two Demons. ?

Guilty

Eddie Betts just picked Lewis Jetta ahead of Neville. Fair dinkum unbelievable!

Steven May picked ahead of Jesse Hogan - a win for the MFC.

The only Eagle picked so far is Gaff and he didn’t play in the premiership team.

If the AFLX Draft is anything to go by, the actual competition is going to put the nation to sleep.
