    I hope Kolt plays VFL. He should be ripping Casey games to shreds by now. He needs to be held to the same standards as other youngsters.

    It will be interesting to see who we prioritise for a negative role. Anderson or Rowell? I’d go after Anderson personally. Is Lindsay fit enough to learn some lessons? Something different for him and the midfield group. I’d get Clazz to start on Rowell’s shoulder at all times. Chin to Rioli. Push Salem forward, bring McVee up a little into Salo’s role. Simples…. Oh and try anyone not named Disco Turner as a key forward. Literally anyone else.

    B Howes May Lever

    B Bowey Turner McVee

    C Langdon Viney Langford

    F Petracca McDonald* Melksham

    F Pickett JVR Salem

    R Gawn Oliver Lindsay

    Windsor Jefferson Rivers Laurie Fritsch

    Out Sparrow Petty

    In Jefferson Laurie McDonald

    If Petty gets picked to play forward this week I will demand a Senate Inquiry.

    *I understand that McDonald is unlikely to line up as a forward.

    Sparrow out?! Are you for real? He is our only forward that can kick

    Oliver has to go. Its as simple as that. He is worse than he should be and the team is worse for having him in it.

    Funnily enough, watching that game I’d rather keep Oliver than Petracca. Petracca seems broken to me since the awful injury - fumbles a lot, pulls out of contests that he may get hurt, rushes to give away the ball rather than taking the tackle. He still does great things bc he is so talented and hardworking but I think what it may well come down to who we can get the best return for. Which is probably Trac.

    Why is May getting lippy when he didn’t spread and offer an option to Max after his mark? Barely moved

    Why didn’t anyone present up to Max?

    With the game in the balance no leaders were present. That said, the game shouldn’t have come down to the final minutes.

    This result makes season 25 very difficult to come back from. But stranger things have happened. Play like that against port and we’ll have the 4 points.

    There wasn’t any time for any of this as the umpire inexplicably called play-on before Gawn had a chance to even look around.

    For those just blindly blaming our inaccurate kicking need to have a look at the shot map in wheelo's stat files.

    We barely get any opportunities straight in front. For all the strides we've made over the last 6 weeks, our forwards continue lead into the pocket leading to difficult shots on goal. The Saints used the corridor much much better for better quality entries. They kicked 7 goals basically dead in front within 30m.

    Our entries still aren't good enough, and if you go back and watch the QF against the fifth in '23 you'll see the same thing. If you pressure the opposition and force them wide, guess what? They have difficulty converting.

    Given how close the competition is, I think we need 14 wins to definitely make it. That means we basically can only afford 2 maybe 3 more losses for the year but still have Collingwood twice, Gold Coast in GC and Adelaide away.

    Expected scoring takes into account the difficulty of the shots (angle, distance, set shot vs in play etc) and we finished on a higher score. Sure, we could make things easier for ourselves by marking in the goal square but our goal kicking IS the problem.

    We are a bottom four club who caught fire for a month

    Nah that’s BS. We are not bottom 4 and won’t finish bottom 4 but we are clearly the worst kicks at goal in the league. Brings us down from being a possible finals team.

    We are going to get smashed next round. Here I was thinking we could give them a real shake 🤦🏼‍♂️

    We may, but we do have a tendency to play up or down to our opponent’s level.

    Arrogant team defence all game.

    What I don’t understand is why our method looks so different this week than the last 5 or 6. Gone is the chipping and switching and we seem back to pre-2025 long bombing and chaos.

    And [censored] our goal kicking needs to improve.

    I assume with JVR travelling with the AFL team to Alice after replacing Bill as an emergency he’ll be out of the Casey squad?

    In some ways that makes this team more balanced. Allows us to play Verrall, Fullo and Jefferson through the forward line which feels like a bit more of an opportunity for them to do well. Go Casey!

    I’d be very surprised if they hold over 3 players for the senior team. Seems much more likely to be just Henderson and Adams (one tall, one small).

    i listened to her on the real footy tipping podcast

    she makes her disdain for the mfc clear

    Yes, I was going to bring this up. She said we were “pretenders” and backed it up with no reasons (she is saints supporter tho). She is an arrogant and salty individual. As a big AFLW fan, I cannot stand her. Doesn’t seem to have any insight into the fact that she has left two clubs on bad terms (maybe you are the problem?!). Trashes our culture every chance she gets as though she hasn’t been gone for over a year and was never part of the men’s program.

    She is also insufferable as a commentator - overly critical of any team deviates slightly from perfection. I have never come across such a critical commentator.

    You're kidding yourself if you think contested marks is a benchmark. Very few fwds take more than 1 or 2 a game for a shot on goal. Its great when it happens but its not that often

    How about any marks then?

    The bar some people have for AJ is sooo low seriously.

    Chipper as well. Now my take

    First quarter we kept at them and niggled them all the time. See Melky getting at the big bloke.

    Second I was concerned we went into a shell and allowed them time and space from our F50 allowing them to dictate terms. And deliver the ball low and fast and accurate. Thought we were witches hats at this stage.

    After half time we seemed more disciplined

    Some strange umpire decisions butLi…

    Loved May hugging and getting around disco . I think windsor needs to play wing again,

    Last quarter was all big max

    Please!

    As much as I loved Brayshaw, Langfords a bigger more skilful beast.
    Couple more pre-seasons and we run him through the midfield full time.
    Woah nelly ...... Gonna be a sight to see.

    Brayshaw was genuinely dual footed though

    Re modern umpiring, just wondering was there a one on one contest tonight between a forward & back where the umpires didn’t blow their whistle to pay a free for some minuscule indiscretion? They are killing footy.

    Agree, it was extraordinary. The one to Long against Scrimshaw for example was baffling. And there were plenty more where that came from.

    I’m not even certain Gold Coast could take him if they wanted / they have two players in their academy who will go top 10 well ahead of Kalani so I’m not sure how they could afford them all…

    They have three expected to go first round (at least two of them top 10): Zeke Uwland, Dylan Patterson and Beau Addinsal (might have the spelling wrong).

    White will be well down their priority list.

    One big positive today was getting to see Langford’s overhead marking.

    Was a huge part of his junior game and one of the reasons I was a fan on him on the wing. If he keeps developing it now he’s got a taste of what he can do he’s going to be a match up problem for mids. Hopefully he keeps it up.

    I have been wondering why we don’t try him forward a bit. He certainly has the tools. He had a stand out game yesterday. Has the potential to be a top 10 player in the game.

    Lindsay was quieter tonight but barely put a foot wrong.

    Langford is a jet. That left boot of his is class.

    Ashcroft aside, both are real chances for the Rising Star this year.

    Langford is having a better year than Ashcroft
