Heart Beats True

I hope it plays out like Cal has predicted. Langford and Allan would be 👌

Deakyn Smith isn’t playing for Casey next season. He’s signed on with Thomastown for 2025 as per the article linked in my prior post.

Kalani White update

A hunch back didn’t seem to hurt one Gary Ablett Snr when he was destroying teams. Even Josh Kennedy had a hunched over posture. As long as he marks and kicks goals, he can stand on his head for all I care.

Langford and Bo Allan. Both add size and some difference to our midfield.

I’ll reserve judgement on Brad however he is off to a good start. I know a number of connections to Brad and have heard mixed messages on his past dealings which have me still slightly skeptical. I hope he continues the way he has started.

Former Demon joins new club for 2025 season

That was the night Travis Johnstone played one of the best games I’ve ever seen.

Agree with you on Petty playing in the backline however you’re very harsh on Sharp calling him a list clogger. Let the man at least play a game for us first.

Welcome back Lucas Cook.

The below article published today discusses his delisting. https://apple.news/A3rANw8YpTYyUzsR9v_QYkw

This news doesn't excite me. Would prefer a proven assistant coach with intel than a club legend with very little external experience. Maybe this has more to do with a culture reset 🤷‍♂️

Source?

I won’t believe anything until I hear it from the club or player. I personally think we are too far down the track not to trade him now. He needs to go.

Get rid of both of them. They are both shizen for our culture.

Just terrific 🤦🏼‍♂️

It stuns me that people think that once Oliver shifts across to Geelong he will then win the Brownlow, be finals MVP, win a premiership etc…. Oliver clearly has issues and I doubt even a good culture can eradicate the problems he has. I believe he’s on a slippery slope and won’t get back to his once dominant self. He has already peaked.

That’s terrifying in itself. There are serious questions around Goodwin’s handling of Oliver this season.

I wonder how Max Gawn is feeling after all the effort he has put in over the past 12 months. Would it be relief or pure anger at how this ended? I also doubt we will ever know the truth behind the decision. My kingdom for a stable, smart, proactive, water tight football club. We are a disgrace.

I hope Clarry doesn't go however to say Geelong doesn't have anything to give us is incorrect. There are a number of players including SDK (who I've read is disgruntled), Max Holmes, etc, who I'm sure we would look at.

He can argue all he wants on a contested game style or being hard to play against however times change and Brisbane played an entertaining game style with lightening speed mixed with contested football which would have beaten most, if not all teams last Saturday. Regardless of game style, be it contested or fast-paced, foot skills and decision making is a key component to winning and Brisbane have that in spades.
