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

howes has turned into jack grimes with his ability to kick it out on the full

bill laurie dodges around three and drills it! that goal just earned him bog over tc for me

new fritsch

and now his 7th from a set shot after a bullet pass from culley!!

ooze gets his 6th with the most awkward running, bounce, run a bit more then wobble it thru kick you could wish to see score!

at the end of the day, he's another that bill laurie simply won't get ahead of in the queue why is the delay between being allowed to post so long @Demonland ? can you reduce it at all please?

adams' intercept marking is excellent shame about his field kicking

spargo nasty shoulder injury

he was interviewed at half time and asked about what he needs to do to get into the afl - "i need to keep working to improve everything; if i want to be picked i need to take a spot from viney, claz, or trac" he's been very good in the vfl all year but he's too slow, small, and poorly skilled to make it in the afl imo you certainly wouldn't pick him ahead of those three he highlighted, and that doesn't even include pickett, rivers, or anyone else rolling through the midfield in an ideal world he'd compete with sparrow, but the latter is much better running the defensive half forward patterns role than laurie
