whatwhat say what

el jefe seems to be one of those forwards who has a knack for earning a free kick i50 - he now has 3 goals 1 billings is absolutely racking it up, playing that classic gut-running wing role and getting a heap of ball running the lines

plugger mac not having a good game - dropping his marks, not nailing his passes, and now kicking into the man on the mark

jvr very strong to get the separation and then double lead for the mark i50 but his kicking is letting him down quite a bit - actually true of the whole of the casey side; their disposal really letting them down

I dunno if he has the ‘smarts’ around the footy to play the role He reads the play well and impacts aerially from a spoil / intercept perspective He seems to operate in straight lines as opposed to making intelligent decisions in the moment, particularly when it comes to with ball in hand

From @sydneydemon at half time - Messy scrambled quarter. Lost our system particularly delivery I50. Looking for a reset in the 3rd quarter. Howes and Sestan busy.

hard to tell on the stream, but it really looked like a lot of the casey players were running in quicksand that quarter i am fearful of a sluggish 'loading' game in mfc's immediate future

plugger uncharacteristically dropping some sitters when under no pressure

fullarton has no second efforts whatsoever

he seems to be able to do a lot right but his skills leave a lot to be desired some dumb frees being given away to the swans to keep them in the contest

from @sydneydemon : Jeffo 6 touches 3 marks and a goal. Great pass to JVR for a goal who’s kicked 2 goals. Playing well through the middle and in general play based upon the 10 mins of the last quarter that i saw via the stream: jvr and el jefe look like a great forward pairing at this level culley smart user going i50 plugger mac is twice as big as his oppo

the @sydneydemon reports may be filtered through the patented @whatwhat say what glen iris / malvern border for easier posting purposes rather than instantaneous, they may be on a quarter by quarter basis...

may + lever = our best tall back duo turner is learning on the job, just as petty did in 2021 plugger mac is there to solve the holes when they appear down back quite frankly, if it means he never gets back into the back 6 at afl level in 2025 and beyond then so be it; means our preferred defensive structure of 2 experienced + 1 L-plater is doing its job

nope, they changed that rule when they changed the points allocation if gc17 can accumulate the points they can take any / all of their academy selections

exactly - NOT PERTH it's literally two and half hours drive from perth, if you go at the speed limit

we are going to miss him

quite honestly if he wasn't their skipper he'd be dropped has been in very ordinary form for the majority of the season

well neither is perth

the filth look like they're in a different class to dingley

Yet to show anything like the skill set required to make it at afl level as yet tho We will never know if he’s any good if he continues to be sub and then get 15 mins to do something in a role that doesn’t necessarily suit him Every game I’ve seen him do well in at vfl level it’s been as a mid, not a pressure / smart ball using forward

yeah i don't agree he's an inside midfielder in terms of replacing spargo, i think henderson suits the role player specificity of like: like

great now i'm just worried he wants to go to <insert 'big' melbourne club here>

sadly i think it's time to officially begin to worry about jack's playing future

yes, absolutely rubbish analysis

i heard it as 60/40 to stay beyond his current contract with robbo saying that was only cos he's been so burned by wa-based players leaving in the past; wizard, dogga, etc. for mine, the other key takeout of the deebrief chat was that the suspensions that jvr has copped in his first few years may have had an effect on his current performance in 2025 - it's made him more tentative in his attack on the contest

i listened to her on the real footy tipping podcast she makes her disdain for the mfc clear
