whatwhat say what

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

wind pushing it right to left something chronic

el jeffe hits the scoreboard early lovely set shot

essentially what cal seems to be saying here is that petracca is a superstar no matter where he plays? captain obvious called! this whole 'we should play trac forward all the time' theory is NEVER going to happen; he's one of the most dynamic players in the game, and he goes where he's needed at any time, be that running thru the midfield or stationed forward he's a gun, and one of the most 'personable' players in the competition to boot

yet i STILL can't get thru their lobby when i try and buy tickets

confirmed ruled out concussed? they've said nothing on c7 commentary as yet

i thought they boo'd o'donnell cos him being a dark hair tall bloke marking it

not obeying the 'stand' by the maggot, moving off the mark, and encroaching the 5m zone all there so far except for darcy failing to maim maynard which should have been reversed

sam darcy absolutely ironed out maynard BUT HE STILL GOT UP no brain to rattle in the skull?

not according to our football club, clearly i personally think they are maximising the opportunities now while still prepping for the future also, hawks and tigs both tried to rebuild on the fly, as geelong did throughout the 2010s, and they have failed miserably and bottomed out / look set to bottom out

it took geelong 11 years to get back to a premiership, from 2011 to 2022 the whole time they were there, thereabouts, including a grand final appearance in 2020 i would love another one sooner rather than later, but that 'geelong model' of constantly competing seems to be what we want to be

i think disco was 6 months initially as well?

6 according to earlier reports
