  1. I love sarsparilla and found a Bundaberg Sarsparilla that is really very good. Comes in a small brown stubby.
  2. I realized that and deleted my post.
  3. As AF said a few posts ago, that Max is being blocked in the marking contests regularly, without free kicks. He is also often belted, when trying to mark, again without free kicks. The umpires ignored 3 blocks against the Pies and yet a touch on the opposition sees a soft free kick goal, too often for it not be a direction and more than just coincidence. At any other club his Coach would be screaming and as we don’t seem to publicly, I hope we are privately to the Umpiring department.
  4. That’s really nasty.

    Larkey off the table and probably Naughton and Ben King. Tom De Koning if he can be a key forward is priced out as well. I wouldn’t bring in any mature key forward unless he is a regular best 22. Certainly would draft another and develop Jefferson and Verrall. If there was a best 22 key forward we could get next year, then absolutely.
  6. Why are you wishing him a delayed recovery after our game, I wish him a recovery next Friday.
  7. And stop flying for screamers, which to this point in time, he has not achieved once, It takes him away from crumbing, risks injury to himself and team mates and at this point, given his success rate, is a totally undisciplined and probably selfish act. He is our crumber, not Warwick Capper.
  8. In hospital and would have to be doubtful.
  9. Not usually.
  10. You mean like Lipinski, who hadn't played since last year's PF.
  11. Yep. Arms not pinned. Grabbed around the hips. No concussion. No head hit.
  12. The AFL in its memo to clubs included a video of “Legal” tackles, demonstrating how to tackle “Legally,” included the Sparrow tackle, where he got a week. The game is run by morons. We lost the game he missed by a kick and it could cost us a home final.
  13. How right you were.
  14. And Sparrow and Kozzie.
  15. It is a pick and choose situation now. This Tribunal appears to tailor the case to get to the desired outcome and I find that extremely troubling.
  16. Agree. How did Chandler get two for same as Butler, then Butler exonerated at Tribunal. How was Chandler 2 and Butler none for same thing. Went back and looked at Sparrow tackle several times and it was a normal, not even aggressive tackle around hips not pinning arms and doesn’t even look like head hits the ground. He got 1 week and it may have cost us the loss and a home final. As 9 clubs have declared today, they regard the system as a total lottery and are not even showing AFL tackle video to players as it is totally irrelevant to what then happens at the Tribunal and MRO. We have another shambles affecting games, on top of the fixture. How is this proper administration of the biggest game in the country? It’s a huge joke that is actually not funny.

  18. They would if they were Pies, Bombers or Tiger fans, but that of course won't happen, as they never play there.
  19. Absolutely. But that's the point, playing for a team to these guys means in the team, not at Casey, with occasional sub games.
  20. To whoever offers him a good contract and regular games. We currently have 4 small forwards, all hardly touching the ball. Pressure is just not enough.
  21. Agree. If Smith and Tomlinson keep getting games and then say BBB gets fit for one last tilt at a flag with Tom Mac and Petty is already back, we are adding depth and versatility to the list.
