  1. Casey 6.2 38 to Geelong 4 pts. Almost qtr time.
  2. Collis kicks a second
  3. Casey 97.7 is not advertising that it is transmitting the game. But it is!
  4. If Jesse wants to stay, he stays. if he wants to go, Im pretty confident he and the club would look after each other.
  5. How many "close this threads" calls were on Jack Watts thread? It doesnt look to me as if Jesse is happy at MFC at all.At all. If he is as staunch as stated fine, but I dont believe it.
  6. Disclaimer: I thought Brayshaw was Gone earlier this year. Now I think that we need to look at future picks. We dont have a 1st rounder this year and although we have done well with later picks last year, Id like to shore up some talent. I think Hogan is worth about what Jake Lever is. If that is so, Id like it to be a 1st round this year and another one next year. I think Tyson, Bugg are later picks but Oscar should be worth a bit. All speculation of course. Love all the players but make hay while the sun shines.
  7. Hey we beat a top 8 team too!
  8. Maybe its been suggested before but Oscar is 197cm. Pretty mobile and with Frosty doing a great job (imo) as a tall back, once Jake Lever is back on track, why isnt he thought of as a swap out ruck? With his brother Tom and Hogan/Weids doing their bit, it could get us through a year or two. It seems this year there is a real dearth of good big men.
  9. Please someone, anyone, report on this mornings training session
  10. We have young and still inexperienced players and we will lose close ones in the future. But when the close ones happen id like to see more "F##k we nearly did it". And less "Im over this club that gives me nothing". Demonland really only goes the latter. Although I have hardly done the former, I keep my whining internal or in-house now. It was a lesson when I overheard my sister (swans) tell a friend when she thought I couldnt hear "He barracks for Melbourne, its like he is caring for a disabled brother". Im sure a few of us may have had similar unasked sympathies thrust upon them over the past 40 or so years. We will be the envy of other club's supporters soon and they can get [censored].
  11. He was drinking when I knew him...
  12. I do like the idea of Boo-cancelling headphones for umpires.
  13. Good question. The website says Thursday morning but as it is a Sunday game, I figured it would be a Friday morning training session. Anyone know?
  14. This year has been fantastic and although we have lost a fair few close ones, we are competitive and we have absolute guns to watch. Also its near the finals and we (well me) havent been obsessing about who we can get in the draft and the 10!!! players we need to get rid of. This is normally my life after about round 12. I honestly think we have the best team in the AFL to support for the next at least 7 years. (I dont even think I will regret saying this). The forever winter is over.
  15. Its the ones that are NOT paid that we normally suffer from.
  16. It just showed to me that umpires DO have a major influence over tight games. We just happened to not get paid one or two against us inside 50 in the last quarter. It made a difference. It shouldnt.
  17. Greg Wells other than RDB
  18. If as it seems, that jumper punching will incur suspension, there needs to be a change to allow forwards and midfielders to get away from grabbing hands that stop them from leading and spreading. In Buggs case it was Heeney that was holding his jumper and that looked the same with Andy Brayshaw as Gaff was attempting to run into space. Im not sure of the answer but disallowing a player to get free needs to be looked at.
  19. I agree actually. But I was laughing at the comments on the Instagram he put up of Fed cops waiting for Gaff at Tullamarine. What a [censored] I thought!Then it was true! He deserves it anyway I guess.
  20. I feel sorry for Mark Stevens. People are so unkind.
  21. There has been an over reaction to Gaff's stupid punch IMO. I can see the arc swinging back in a day or two to sympathy for the devil. It is a huge blot in an otherwise stellar career. I think 6 weeks and a genuine apology would see it over.
  22. they could have red carded 6 GWS players against the Blues then. Still won by 90+ points.
  23. 1. Need for his skills 2. Ability to get him. Daylight....
  24. one of the options discussed a week or so ago is that the penalty includes at least one week against the team whom the incident happened against. i.e 6 weeks and a week when the Derby rolls around again.
