  1. I am stunned he didn’t have a tackle, I am sure I saw him tackling. Will have to watch again and keep an eye on him. I didn’t think his disposal was 50% either but maybe I was just excited with the win and his possessions. I am not saying he is a star but rather what I said earlier, that on a wet day I would rather have him over Hannan.
  2. That is an amazing assessment of his game tonight. Knocking out Mihocek had nothing to do with his game tonight, other than it was a typical, hard VDB attempt to get the ball.
  3. His 18 possies and good disposal didn’t hurt either, not to mention his pressure at the contest. I reckon a few Pies looked around when he was in the vicinity of a contested ball.
  4. What did you think of VDB’s game?
  5. Have to stop Pendles and Sidebottom as they create all their chances.
  6. I will tip that at some stage of the game the frees will be 10-5 against, or worse and that Pies have at least 2 goals from soft frees.
  7. Hannan has averaged 7 possies in last 3 games, all dry and no tackles in his last 2. He has kicked 1.1 in three games. Nothing in 2 games. Yes, in the wet I would have AVB.
  8. Who would you want in a predicted wet game, Hannan or bash and crash VDB?
  9. They still will have Treloar, DeGoey, Howe, Sier, Roughead,, Quaynor and Langdon missing. Pendles could still pull out. I think back to that last game in 2017, where we had to win to make the finals, against a depleted Pies side and we lost playing a shocker. That has been our mantra over the last 20 years.
  10. Didn’t think Pendles would play. He and Sidebottom have to be stopped, as they are the main goal assist players for the Pies.

    Like the McCartins, he was the better player of the brothers, but because of concussions, the other brother has played more. There is a lot of luck involved in having a long footy career.
  12. Don't think he will play.
  13. The weather in Brisbane is sunny every day till end of next week, except for Saturday, where rain and possibly thunderstorms are predicted. Hopefully all over by mid afternoon.
  14. Buckley said earlier in the week that he was a chance to play, but hoped he would be right for the following week. To me that sounds like he is not playing. Roughead should be out after the head knock. Lynden Dunn could play 2 games in 4 days, after 2 years out injured.
  15. I am less concerned about Max not playing, than I am about Pendles playing. If Pendles plays, he and Sidebotton will set them up for goals time and again. Roughead went off after a heavy head knock on tuesday and will be very doubtful. Possibly Lynden gets to play against his old club.

    They then paid 8 metre marks.

    If you are talking about the “run too far” free it was another umpire shocker. He took 10-11 steps and was pinged. Terrible decision.

    I know I was having a bit of fun. Seriously though, we need to make the finals to keep us a destination club, as that can make the difference to a potential trade/free agent target. Also it would be nice to wipe out 2019, reward and validate the decision of the players who have come across like May and of course the rest of the club, as well as us fans, who just simply deserve and crave success for our Dees. On another note, I hope we can get Jordon a game sometime this year. I have been pushing him up since his first few Casey games as he improved weekly.
  19. Well done on your honesty. You weren’t alone.

    Are you sure? That is a pretty novel concept.

    Has Taylor been sacked yet?
  22. The big change I have noticed in Oliver, is that he is not getting rid of the ball the second he gets it, but taking players on, running, balancing and then disposing. He is getting back to his best, which is sensational footy, from one of the best, contested ball players in the game.
  23. Not to mention they had at best 1 fit player on the bench in the last.
  24. I was against his section and he proved me wrong. Very good game and I hope Charlie goes on with it. He had several goal assists as well as kicking one.
  25. 3 Dropping the balls in front of umpire 31 not paid to us and then pings our player after 1 second for holding the ball. Is there such a thing as an Umpires Adviser who watches their umpiring?
