Remember this the club that demanded and got pick 2 for Lachie Weller and pick 5 plus another pick for Cerra. What does that make LJ worth, as a 20 year old ruckman, rising star and premiership player?

Goldy will stay with Clarko and Ryder is a continually injured, retired 35 year old.

Like Joel Smith on the list 9 years for 26 games?

So you would disagree with bringing in another good ruckman, if LJ leaves, as a waste of investment, even though it could allow Max to play longer and be fresher for finals?

OD was not comparing him to LJ nor was I. I said he might be ok as a THIRD ruckman, if we got another and LJ left. Didn’t Weid ruck for us this year when Max and LJ were out and we won? No one is suggesting Weid as anything other than a third ruckman/forward if the need arises.

Wow. 86 and looks great. I hope he presents the cup to Max and Goody on GF day.

Weid has played a few good games for Casey rucking/forward. He played a similar style to LJ, following up and distributing with a handball. Maybe he can be the third ruckman, if we lose LJ but get another.

Boys win on Friday and we have both teams in Prelim. Women looking good too.

I think it’s hyperbole to say “ everyone played well”. Baker, Laurie and Rosman and I think Howes didn’t touch it in the first half. Howes will be good for us though next year but I am not confident of the first three with Rosman the one I would keep of the three. Laurie I know they will keep. Deakyn Smith was just ok. Woey didn’t have a great game but he has showed enough this year. Agree Dunstan and Weid were fantastic. JVR is going to be an exciting player for us and I wish Mitch Brown was 22.

First half, Baker, Rosman, Howes and Laurie MIA. Woewy and Smith poor disposal today. Dunstan plenty of possies but with most up in the air going nowhere. Havent noticed Turner and Tomlinson making mistakes. Chandler no influence. But we are leading. Hopefully above players all lift. Brown and Tom doing well up forward. Weid actually doing well in the ruck and around the ground against 4 giants, Sinclair, Ladhams, McNamara and Amartey

Well now that you mention it.

Then say we have something in place, but we can’t give the details yet. The members were told of an announcement that never happened. Or just tell the likely truth, we haven’t got anywhere yet. It is probably the biggest off field issue for the club and to date we seem to have achieved nothing, after years of working on it.

Hibbo will be 33 in January and IMO should be offered a gig to play a year or two at Casey and assistant coach Casey as well. Yes he has played well on Cameron but he is coming to the end of his AFL career. Melk will get another year and Hunt two.

And that is the problem. We are basically told it is going well and will be announced soon, but nothing. Members don’t need to be told every minute detail, but at least something. Have we got a plan, a site, an idea, a dream, a wish, a hope, anything?

For me it would probably be Pepsi Max. Yes I am a heathan.

My question is, what were they going to announce, that they now aren’t?

Agree. He is also a replacement for other small forwards if injured.

Do they have a cask size shower holder for Uncle Bitter?

So what was the 12 months plan? How about explaining where it was to be and why it failed. Being told nothing is pretty poor, especially from a Board that won’t let anyone else who might be able to help, get onto it. This is a discreet issue that has we have been trying to solve for decades. What is the current situation?

Will you be using your secret shoe phone?

We have been told it is close for years. How long does it take to identify a location? Other clubs are even improving their better than our facilities. I hope the flag hasn’t papered over the cracks. Very disappointing.

Could be just lowering the price talk, we are mildly interested, if it works good, if not we move on. Meanwhile Grundy will tell Pies it’s either Club X or I stay a Pie.

When do they announce team?

Thanks Dee S I will try it. If not then AFL app on phone.

Melk turns 31 end of this month and has earned another year. Hibbo will be 33 in January and is probably going to have to make way for Bowey, Hunt etc to play more. I would offer him a contract to play and coach with Casey for a year or two.
