delayed concussion symptoms?

get it done

aints looked miles better since king went off

if reid gets a week for that then neither he nor darcy will be eligible for the rising star

yep they are on afl lists and he's been ignored in three straight drafts

i really don't see him as being ready-made to come into our midfield at afl level in place of petracca, oliver, viney, sparrow, anb, or pickett he sure can win a lot of the footy tho

i think he offers a lot more as a rebounding defender in 2024 than he ever did as a forward in 2022-23 he didn't apply enough defensive pressure last few seasons his overlap run and ability to impact in the air and at ground level as a defender is really encouraging if one of bowey, salem, or rivers was to be unavailable you would expect he'd be in line for a debut

didn't nicks get a new deal at the start of the season? their form away from the adelaide oval and without tex is a massive issue for his job security their forward structure is really missing thilthorpe

their forward line is built around ground level smalls providing ground pressure - moore, ginnivan - plus an aging breust and gunston, and a spare parts option in chol they've got a gun father-son in dear for the future tho really, the best tall forwards come out of the first round, academy, or father-son selections

he's never forgiven max for "that's ruck craft, big boi"

i personally think amw offers a lot more coming off half back than he did in previous seasons as a forward when deployed as a forward he never applied anywhere enough defensive pressure at least as a half back rebounder he's providing plenty of overlap run

they've run away with it again casey seems to bring 15 mins of effort and then drop off markedly in the back half of quarters

amw with a slips catch on half back, jefferson marks on the edge of the 50, hits fullarton in the pocket...goal he's a pre-season away from being able to play a key forward role at afl level, but jefferson shows a heap of promise

that was appalling defensive work from casey, again tom freeman swore he touched it but it looked like it bounced over his head, pitched in the square, turned right, and trundled thru for kyle weightman's third goal casey doesn't apply pressure consistently enough for long enough

laurie is terrible defensively - one armed half hearted tackle 'attempts'

dale weightman's son goals from a pretty soft free i thought

liam podhajski is looking great in the ruck for them tall and strong and very good at ground level

neocleus reduces the margin to 9 points amw and howes working together nicely defensively this quarter, chaining it out of defensive positions and either one or the other gets the clearing kick forward

szybkowski with a big bomb from 50 for a goal this is very much the case at this stage jefferson showing a lot as the primary forward

shocking kick from howes gives up a goal coming out of d50

jefferson fantastic work to bust thru a tackle, burn off his oppo....and sprayed the shot

jefferson busy i50 but his field kicking has twice let him down - checkside on the right cos he's got no left foot was particularly poor

pretty sure he's billeted with tholstrup, at a director's house hopefully he debuts soon not gonna help the complete lack of midfield depth at casey tho

are any of them drafted to an interstate club playing this weekend?

literally got drafted three days ago, from wa - has he even moved across yet? tholstrup loves a tackle; means he's second to the ball a lot
