Casey by 11 going into time on 2nd qtr

Ill be counting how many times Dawes takes out his mouth guard and spits. This is accompanied by pointing and yelling.

Cant even want Dawes to play well any more. Its bad I know. He cost so much and delivers so little without blame. Just the sight of him pointing and endless spitting when he does one good thing out of 10 possibles gives me the tom t1ts.

There were plenty of bombs from the 50 that didnt go through the goals. No one was looking for a forward at all. I was sorry for Hogan. It was pathetic coaching not to insist the mids to look for him. Under 12 stuff.

I think you get what you see with Paul Roos. Passion-less thinker who is ready for a joke to break out so he can lessen the load. He's not there. Give me the passion of Longmire or Clarko ffs

Other than the Vineys, Cross and Jones I wonder if any of the staff or players cares a jot in comparison to the supporters. Roos for one shakes his head and acts like there is always next week.

Last Five Meetings: Melbourne 0 wins Brisbane 5 wins

Decimal currency is newer than our last flag. Thats time machine.

Brisbane are paying $2.90 for 1-39 but I was worried about our side this week fighting back.... So Ive backed it up with a couple of bucks on Brisbane 40+ at $12

Only the true believers today I reckon. Unless of course Casey Fields is suddenly warm and sheltered.

Fitzy should get a spot in our forward OR back line on the strength of that game.

Hogan sooks it up if he doesnt get it lace out. Disappointed in his lack of desperation.

On Thursday Night I was really excited by our line-up. Almost full strength.....

My thinking on who we need most (and will play this year) In order my top 6 are: 1 Hogan - well duh 2 vandenBerg - run and hardness 3/4/5 Salem - class / Garland - as good but different to Salem / Kent - I need to see what others find obvious 6 Frost - Im a Gawn/Spencer 2 ruck kind of guy

Im glad that it is just a rumour. Like Trav and Liam, Col was interesting to watch. Ill always go with "His breakout season was stuffed because he got his jaw broken pre-season". Im not asking for holes in my mantra to be pointed out, BTW.

Its a pity SATY was eventually ground down from reporting on injuries and training.

How many games in a row have we won again?

I really like that Im not searching through "Changes for Next Week" looking for hope.

This is short term? Im 59.

Well Rory Sloane re-signed after his parents moved back from Adelaide to Upwey. Well done Adelaide, I guess. Bad luck Saints and Dees who both had claims. I thought he was gone.

Toumpas is Flinchy. With Van and Viney probably out and Watts now sometimes deciding to go when required, we cant carry Flinchy who most of the backline dont want to kick to. He certainly seems to have quick reactions disposing of the ball.

Sorry Macca, Lucas Cook was eyebrow raising to nearly everyone if I remember correctly. Gysberts was not expected to go so early but viewed as if BBBP had inside info.

I think Spencer Jamar combo is something Id like to see us live with this year. If we can win in the middle and provide another, admittedly mediocre, tall option forward, its a team that would be tough to play against for many teams. We cant keep hoping the Russian can do it on his own. Spencer is as ready as he is going to get. Exciting.

Im sorry to hear this. I always thought he'd show his great talent at Freo. I cheered him on many occasions. All the best Colin.
