I hope Frost and maybe Oscar are given the opportunity to try (again for Sam) in the forward line for Casey this year if/when they are squeezed out of the back six. Frost especially has had a good year and Id love to see him get another run at it. Oscar... who knows? Still young for a 195cm KPP.

Im happy with the lack of Sundays.

I understood we have quite a few in for surgery after this season finished. I know Oliver and Lever are expecting late starts (Is Maxy?) and there must be about 6 others too. Which makes me hope that we arent playing any of the top 4 teams early on. Id rather we have Saints dockers and Blues early up as we will show off plenty of depth. Anyone know some of the timelines?

Thats because Roos said you will be better in the back line. Howe didnt like to hear that. So after 3 months in the forward line at the Pies, guess where he was shifted to?

I dont like Scully as a person but he was a great footballer, whom I have to admit I hope doesn't reach the heights of his powers again. But that is only because the Hawks got another one for free. I certainly don't have any time at all for the melodramatic "lying to a dying man" BS. Hogan goes because he was missing home. Howe left because he listened to both his manager (more money) and Buckley (you can play forward). We may have bigger fish to fry in the next couple of years as player managers and other band wagoners whisper to our elite about more money elsewhere.

Omac has a high ceiling. Although he has bad days his path is inclining.

I remember the 1988 and the 2000 Grand final and we just did not have the hardness needed to win. Maybe we needed other things too but I reckon Aaron Van den Berg is not a fringe player in big matches.

Im pretty sure there are many usernames (and email addresses) used by the one poster. I find it funny when they forget which one they should use. It should be banned.

Still 22 yrs old. 100Kg and 196cm. On his way to being one of the best full backs around.

I think the Stephen May part of the equation is a little overlooked. I think he has been a ripper Full back and his best is in front of him. Brian lake switched to the Hawks much later in his career and won a Norm Smith.

Luke Darcy would and has said anything he likes. I must admit I don't like him at all.

Im thinking an early to mid 2nd rounder. Still pretty good.

Those waiting for a quick answer should realise that many BIG trades end up waiting for other smaller ones to go through. 8.30pm on Wednesday, October 17 is the end of the trade period. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-09-10/when-is-the-2018-afl-trade-period

If, as it seems quite possible; Sam Stynes is coming and Caro said she is embarrassed by Jim's statue It is Pert's first big social occasion and she burnt him recently Senior officials have lingering grievances Then It is quite reasonable and correct to mark a line in the sand. I find Caro rapidly becoming shrill, irrelevant and reactive this year. Ive been supportive of her in the past. If we change and invite her, the very next time she takes aim at us, she would happily say, "I've got a good relationship with the Melbourne Football Club. They invited me to their GF lunch".

I guess the bottom line is that some see Hoges being able to lead, mark and goal as good as Josh Kennedy in the next year or so. I dont see that, but I can see how they have many similar attributes. Hogan who although has stats showing he is incredibly fast, just cant get on a fast lead and mark high and in front.

I think the Umpires are getting the new Bose boo-cancelling headsets for this game.

That particular mouth has needed to be washed out before. :) But sounds like both sides have walked away. If we dont get a free agent we are still holding pretty much a royal flush in players going into next year, ruck withstanding. if Tyson and Kent are traded we are still well in the 2nd and 3rd round of the draft.

Lets not get in front of ourselves.... but Dusty injured at Tiges training...

This dream is for you so pay the price, make one dream come true, you only live twice

I agree with Viney and Hannan ins but watching again the replay I was very impressed with Jay Kennedy-Harris. He played very well. Better than i thought he had. Its a good position to be in.

Bugg most disposals - 8

Casey 6.2 38 to Geelong 4 pts. Almost qtr time.

Collis kicks a second

Casey 97.7 is not advertising that it is transmitting the game. But it is!

If Jesse wants to stay, he stays. if he wants to go, Im pretty confident he and the club would look after each other.
