6. Dawes - who would've thought? 5. Hogan - salivating! 4. Viney - never stops trying. 3. Tyson - working back into it. 2. Cross - never shirks a contest! 1. M. Jones - again, who would've thought?

Out - Dawes, Grimes In - Watts, Brayshaw

6. Vince 5. Jetta 4. Viney 3. Gawn 2. Hogan 1. Watts

A different perspective to be sure but the correct one? Maybe not.

Sigh! 6. Viney 5. Gawn 4. Grimes 3. Jones 2. Howe 1. Watts

I would expect that he was only on 50% game time.

Stretch's pass to Hogan who then kicks a goal. I'd say that that hurt the opposition.

Essendon did not beat us, we beat ourselves.

Yeah, I normally go to Casey home games when I can but not today; not after freezing my [censored] off last week!

6. Gawn 5. Dunn 4. Vince 3. vandenBerg 2. Jones 1. Cross

I was at the game. Boy, was it cold; I think I am still recovering. Terlich's disposal was vintage Terls. He would do better to always take the first option and not run himself into trouble and then require a disposal that is beyond his capabilities to recover from.

6. N Jones 5. Vince 4. Garland 3. Garlet 2. Tyson 1. Neal-Bullen

Jade Gresham for mine!

No, it is a tautology.

He was apart from the Geelong 22!

A surprise tactic would be for us to kick it down the left for once.

I've seen Casey for the last two weeks. If we were to upgrade another rookie, there is no doubt it would be Harmes.

I dropped out to Casey today because my tennis team had a bye. It was a strange day - no wind, not even a zephyr, the sun was shining; a very strange day at Casey! Harmes was very good, in and under and got some vey important centre clearances late in the game. King was quite impressive. I am intrigued with him. Forwards need to kick goals, not get a mountain of possessions. I would have put King in the best because of this. From memory, at least three of the goals came from contested marks. Another came from work on the ground that a 200cm player should be well proud of. M Jones was ok, no more. Casey we're getting smashed in the centre clearances when he was in there early in the last. Newton was ok. Dawes was Dawes. Concrete hands, for the most part. Bail was good. Bail is a VFL+ player and will always excel at this level. Unfortunately, he is an AFL- player. Jamar and Spencer were the two best big men on the ground. Coburg eventually gave up competing in the ruck and concentrated in sharking the opposition hit outs, to good effect. OMac continued his good work.

I am relying on my faulty memory. I used to go to a lot of Sandy games when we were aligned with them. It still tells me I saw him playing for Sandy, sad that.
