I remember a christmas in the Nazareth of the North (Manchester) in 1990ish and almost wore the wrong Color into the wrong pub…saved by my host. Seems that the rivalry has been real for a long time…

Thanks again for the pod, gents. 3rd quarters have been awesome for the past few weeks, but then we drop right off. Why cant we adjust quicker during the game? Why can’t we keep it up in the last? (Is it is dropping off, the opposition working us out or us not adjusting in game again?) Does this suggest a key fix for 2026? Oliver had a great game, and I thought apart from contest work (not flying for marks etc) Trac earned a pass mark. Thoughts on where these two are at?

Cheers, Ghosty. Love your work and the fact you are still there putting smiles on the players and coaches faces with your care and enthusiasm. Look forward to us winning the off season and getting to a few preseason sessions in the new year.

All rookies, too!

I think we should look at him as a longer term project - give him the time to develop at Casey with no pressure to come on in the firsts for a couple of years. He is not the messiah. Look at how the Bulldogs have developed their f/s talls in the 2’s and then they come in and smash it!

Its hard to make a silk purse out of a sows ear.. Choco did a great job teaching skills, but obviously rinse and repeat of the message was not making a difference any more. Suggest we will cut everyone that we can before the coaching announcement so the new coach can have a clear run. I would expect the coach announcement at the Bluey or just before, so then we can go into the trade and draft period ready to strike as best suits the new coach’s vision of what we will be.

Thanks again for the pod, gents. Another poor showing, allowing the hawks to simply ‘run around’ us with uncontested possessions and marks, with no effort to cover across, no ability to stick a tackle, or demonstrate rudimentary football skills. Many of our players had absolute mares of games. Max all Australian? Who else could pinch it from him? Rivers provided real run through the midfield in the last - any thoughts on why the experiment hasn’t been tried more often this year. Is May too slow now to be a key back? Why no set plays from kick outs this week? 4 quarters of football left versus the filth. Nothing would please me more than seeing effort and skills, a few clean hits and the collywobbles to be in full swing come the finals…

That was poor. Max was a champ, Riv provided some run from the back half. Most of the team had mares. Glad it is done.

Terrible, just terrible.

I’m hoping they are loading this week in preparation for the finals and we can get them.

I really dislike the arrogant tossers at Hawthorn. Please let us smash them.

I counted four significant errors that cost us goals (unnecessarily)- take those out of our game and we win this.

A good effort, especially given the week that was. Thoughts on Adams? Great set play early from kick out - why Sid we only see it once? Last home game and wont lose too many fans with that performance.

Chappies presser was good, too. Insightful, and no ‘learnings’…

If he doesnt sign with us, he can enter the draft and be picked up by WC. Or we can trade him and get value. The other option is that he stays,

Please.. not F(b)uckley or Stinkley…..

Daisy Pierce, anyone?

Our challenge will be winning the midfield and limiting the supply to their forwards, who are doing well atm. Libber and Bont are pests, and so is that Ranger Richards. Win the middle, pressure up all over the ground, and we are in with a show. I expect ‘free kick bulldogs’, but even so, im quietly optimistic we wont get blown off the park.

Tell em they’re dreaming!

I must admit to barracking a bit for the Neal-Bullen kids, and against the two most flushable heads in football (Gingivitis and Whats’e’on?). Also for the Bears and against the pies. So, with us being out, my preferences are shaping up…

The game seemed bog average for most of the afternoon. Compared to the Maggies/Bears and the Crows/hawks games, it seemed low intensity and poor skill. However, you can only play the team on the park you are up against at the time. Will we be any showing in our last few games, or was that the 2025 last hurrah?

I hate Marvel, and have dinner plans, so i shall not be attending today. Go Dees, do it by a huge margin and shift the spotlight away from us for the week..

Should make a good tall defender option, perhaps being part of the future after may and Lever?

Thanks Kev, greatly appreciate you making the effort, and sharing. Hopefully the sense of care and being in it together that you saw this morning translates on the weekend.

We got him in the rookie draft. He has done ok, so would want to keep if possible. If we get a good pick for him, then it’s actually a win/upgrade. Either way we should do ok…
