Maybe it was a far as he could go? If he was finding it a challenge to get up and about for training and playing it is a long season. He has been contributing at Casey, and perhaps he his his limit? If he has no future (as either he or the club saw it) in football, then why keep hitting up when it doesn't count for anything? Good luck with whatever lies ahead, HB

Is a Bleesing like a Toumpasing?

Perhaps it is code for ‘rest’....

A terrible situation. My thoughts are with them.

Gotta be happy that our last 5 games are all FTA, and then add finals as well. When we are on, we play the game in a style that is great to watch - even for neutrals! (this post was sponsored by the anti MFCSS league)

Fox show every game live. It’s in their offer. This will never happen.

I thought it was about their pregame lineup, when they manspread, balls out and try to look tough. Then someone butchers the national anthem. Hey, no lineup for them this year!

Reference: 2017 Grand Final. Enough said

The best one- Adelaide plays on to advantage. Ball moves to next contest where Crows are beaten. Umpire calls it back after about 15 seconds. They Cannot Do That! the deliberate oob, and not calling all the Crows incorrect disposals. Frosty was stiff to give up that goal after the calls of the previous 5 minutes. Plucked from the anus for maximum goal scoring opportunity Even that soft as butter 50. We still won.

I would say no change unless someone doesn’t come up. Hogan looked sore, let’s get him in the ice bath and see what happens. Smith has closing speed and athleticism that Pedo once dreamt about. Smith did that silly thing in the middle with the ball, but defensively covered spread and got to contests. Different to what Pedo offers. Spargo was fumbly, but got better. ANB will nearly be first picked

Solid work, Fence. I would mark Hogan lower than that (4), Salem only a 5 (tackles and silly things work against), but would not be too far off with the rest.

No idea the wind came up. Was still early. Nice to know and changes the view of the approach a bit

See your point 1

Ok, second half. Let’s bust this open

So lucky. We were so fumbly and rushed. They dominated us in the first. We should not still be in it, but we are. Maggots-my god they are one sided. Gotta switch up at half time

Well done Jordan. Thanks for doing it as a demon. Congratulations!

3 Good things: We are not Carlton, and we used to be. Don't understimate how far we have come. Young talent building into elite talent. If the core of the list holds together, we are building something special The game plan works - we just have to play it. When we were 'on', we were a thing of beauty. A lot revolves around getting the defensive setups more consistently in place, and fixing the forward 50 connection. My god, we will then be scary. That's 3. There is a lot to be happy about the Dees right now. Even though it feels like the heart has been ripped out of the chest, we are creating something that should be dynastic.

Omac is safe. The Boston strangler wouldn’t have stopped Hawkins with lace out delivery and the space he was given in the 50. Frost was a slightly better option, but we were terrible at defending the middle and the half back, so the rest was downhill for us from there. Gee we miss Hibbard and Lever. I think JKH is under the most pressure, and perhaps it is a Bugg who gets the call-up. Vanders maybe not ready to go yet. Our forward 50 structure is abysmal. We are too predictable, and kick on top of people’s heads. IT takes significant 1:1 efforts to clunk these. That Irish idiot could have marked that last pass with a damned shopping trolley. If there was space, Hogan could lead. But that is not the way we set up. We run everyone to 30 m out, directly in front, as if it was a ‘how many can you fit in a phone box’ competition. Geelong cleared out their 50 and let Hawkins go to work. I would like to see a lot more work done on our structure here. Hogan would look a lot better with this sorted. I dont see a spot for Kielty yet. Frost played OK, and Joel Smith worked hard and did some reasonable things. Maybe move him up to the wing and bring in Wagner? Otherwise, its about injuries. Hibbard walks back in when ready. Lets see how they pull up (physically).

He is one of the ‘chosen ones’. Nothing will happen. They Wuv him too much.

That little Gollum Scott pulled a swiftly, I reckon. Used his most watched umpires-fanboy to pull it off. The way he was overacting made me think he was taking lessons from Selwood. Angus doing his job, on the assumption a real ruck contest- not some tricksey bs- was about to occur. Cost us 6 points. Fair play to bend the rules to your favour. the maggots could have managed it much better, though. Like they could have managed a Harmes clearing the protected area, or Ablett’s throw but free kick, better. It is the kitty litter tray. Only shyte for visitors.

A tough analysis to give after that. Feeling gutted and completely ripped off. JKH - Casey Demons Beckons. cant see the kid getting another go. He doesn’t seem to fit anywhere, and doesn’t do enough Garlett - seagull not vulture Not enough of the old Jeffy to commend OMac- 10 minutes too long coach cooked Oscar. Needed more support in the last, perhaps an extra man playing 5 in front of the Frisch-puncher. Max- not quite to the max a bit of an off game, and off the ground at the wrong times Midfield- outwilled, outworked and lacked polish for 20 minutes. Won the rest. Umpires- not awful, but a few absolute howlers leading to goals Spargo was great early, Trac looking good, Joel Smith not out of place.

I am too [censored] angry right now. Will be back when I settle down.

Gotta keep up the manic pressure, then it is ours. Slacken off and they will cut us up.

This thread is due out in either 3 weeks when we are out, or 8 weeks when we are out. Seems early to be punish ourselves. Also, I was ambivalent to Watts leaving. If he went and did well, OK to him. To give you a more thoughtful answer: 1. We were terrible at developing talent. I think there was a mentality in the club that talent should make it. Now we have systems and people who teach elite standards and (apart from Petty) people dont get games until they are ready. 2. We weren’t bringing people into a ‘culture’. Any of these kids would come to the club and would now be clear on what we were trying to achieve, and the group is strong. The ‘care and love’ factors are much stronger. Previously, these guys would come into a vacuum, with us and them in groups, people being selected due to external pressures and no clear idea of what we were setting up for. Guys like Neeld might be teachers, but they are not leaders. 3. They each had flaws that were not supported or corrected by the club, the development, the coaches or the culture. 4. Injury played its part in several of these selections not making it. 5. Some selections just won’t make it! I think we now look for different things, set the tone differently and go about the development of players differently to the bad old times. Some won’t make it. I love the fact that no player is bigger than the team, and that the team has a clear idea of what it is trying to do and to be.

Gawd, you like to roll around in the muck. Like one of those weirdo Christian brothers that whips himself (after whipping himself). Get help man!
