whatwhat say what

oh, but surprise, surprise another free to them filth win with a goal after the siren another miss, and dees hold on to win by +4 points and -4 free kicks

what a surprise, a free to the filth directly in front and the footy gods never lie; miss

mcnamara with a HUGE tackle

bannon and hore both massive grabs

how is that not holding the ball ffs

pisano needs to get a lot fitter

be nice to kick a goal for a change

push straight in the middle of harris' back; no free paxy has brought her own ball today

the amount of spoils and smothers they're executing is really annoying

shelley heath down into the rooms for an hia

hot start dees - important in these conditions

paxy is such a smart decision maker

another rigoni in #43!

i think you forget how good jvr was for casey as a teen in his first year have faith, he'll come back to form at afl level

we have definitely transitioned away from the bomb-to-gawn-on-the-wings style of returning the ball from behinds style of play it is still used on occasion, but nothing like as often as 2020-2023 - of course, that was also the successful period of goodwin's reign! @WheeloRatings - do you have stats on who returns the ball for kick-ins, and whether they go long / short etc.?

love this i often wonder whether the 'go dees' car that's often parked on tooronga rd belongs to someone on this board

all will be revealed by december i guess

if we lose all of the following: mcvee billings hore (rookie) verrall (rookie) fullarton woey 2.0 pup brown (rookie) henderson (rookie) then that's 4 senior listed players and 4 rookies moved on hopefully mcvee stays, and it'd be 3 and 4 presumably kalani white and toby sinnema, plus potentially noah yze, come on as rookie list players at this stage that means we'd go to the draft with 3-4 picks available, plus 1 rookie spot, if we don't upgrade culley, kentfield, sestan, or mentha to the senior list, which i don't think we have to do under current rules

i imagine that is all part of it

the evidence thus far says their medical dept gets players with chequered pasts on field and able to perform i agree that allen will perfectly suit their needs they're not going to want pointy picks this year with more academy picks available next year, however, they will want some

from my rough count, 3 of the top 5 selections for northern franchises, dean as a father-son for the baggers in 6-10 range, and a further 4 academy selections (2 northern, 1 each for baggers and peptides) in the 15-30 range of their top 30, 8 accounted for already

would probably be in my top 5 if i included aflw players paxy a decent shout too for inside top 10 too

but we can presumably match with points etc - same as any other father-son selection

yze - i don't think i've kicked 7 in a game before; i've kicked 10 tho focus is on casey in the vfl and not whether he ends up on an afl list

outstanding result for casey with the exception of spargo damaging his shoulder, again - he's off to hospital to get it put back in place which would make the semi-final vs frankston unlikely you'd think 20.12.132 to 8.8.56 stats, sorted by disposal winners: my best 6: 6: laurie 5: campbell 4: yze 3: tholstrup 2: howes 1: cross woewodin, adams, culley all very good too, and spargo's first quarter was electric when the game was hot great performance
