Either that, or the Roos back to the VFA. reform the VFA.

Gibbs looked better than I remember him; he must 'ave matured under Malthus.

Tiges have gone a little bit too far the other way. Marking is key. Tiges pace punched holes, but they just don't have enough marking power. And they are off a little, from 2017 A great team effort from Crows. Can they maintain that level?

We'll have to add another 100g onto the bid.

hope so.

And probably hoping for some faith from supporters. But its a bit hard to do, with where we're coming from, to feel that way.

He doesn't look that big in the photos's does he, he looks like a well balanced Mid. I had no idea he is that tall. What i see is a balanced skilled kid, with fierce desire. Elite levels in tests. And just beginning. He 's a must. We don't get that many opportunities like this, I think.

Mitch Hannan, Angus Brayshaw and Dean Kent were prolific through the midfield as Tim Smith and Sam Weideman made their presence known up forward. #PJVFL Casey 21.18 144 - @VFL_Dolphins 5.3 33 .

Myki Lefau

Forward pressure sees Casey force a turnover as Kent runs into an open goal, 136-33

Tickets kicks the first goal of the final term midway through, 129-33

Raining goals out Casey way in the 3rd Qtr. Dean Kent has been brilliant kicking a great set-shot as our lead is out to 60 points, 92-32 Kennedy-Harris kicks a perfect through ball that ends with Mykelti Lefau scoring from a set-shot, 99-32 Tim Smith quickly adds another, 105-32 Lachlan Flipovic scores from 40m out, 111-32 Tim Smith does the team thing kicking over to Mitch King who converts ! 117-32

Thaaat's what I want to hear.

He had a calf strain pre-season, he had to prove his fitness off that. It was mentioned that he wasn't ready. one extra week for the calf, to be sure, to be sure.. Calf injury can take time to heal. If he redid it, he could be out for a while. We don't want that with Viney out for another 6+ weeks. I'm wondering IF with the issues Brayshaw had, they may want to have him in tip-top match form, before he gets another senior game. Also he has to prove he's ready,,, again. Teeth or no teeth, he has to keep the head out of the way, and stay on his feet as it were. If not its bit of a worry.

I'm glad to hear that, I think he will become a very slippery player around that part of the ground for us. I didn't get to see the game, listening on radio on the drive home. Which was interrupted with a bad Arial, and having to constantly search for new channels, to tune in. I can't really fault the selection, as we have limited avenues at the moment.

I think one of the biggest weaknesses of our list is not enough games across most individuals. And the mature age recruits with barely any games experience; well they are up against it. We have to give them games experience, any realistic chance we get. With in-under Viney out injured, they gave another powerfully built in-under a chance to gain experience. For a 2 gamer I think Maynard will go far. As long as he gets plenty of opportunities. Similarly Hannan. And to a lesser extent Fritsch. All these players will be key for us in future years. It wasn't Maynard that caused the loss. Nor Fritsch. Nor Hannan. Collectively we didn't click in the first half. But by 3 Pts. One game doesn't make a season, Nor an Autumn.

Upset over one Qtr. Not.

Do you think some of our players after becoming 2017 regulars, are having a 'success-hangover' from last year? bathwater an' all LT ? Well if this is the case, and maybe there is some hangover Re Hannan,,, and with (el Gato) Fritsch a newbie in the team, the extra game would do Fritsch the world of good. If the coaches think Hannan is hungover; then maybe he'll cop an early wake-up call.? Can't see Garlett being left out, at this stage.

He won't be able to prove that point, down in the VFL. Not bad numbers from a half-forward. If he rotated thru the mids and half forward, he would get more opportunity to gather stats. No that half-forward has left this building.

Not true DJ. There are plenty of games to catch and overtake others even if we go zippo & 3. Its not until 1/3 way into the season, that things really start to take shape. The starts to seasons, always throw up inconsistencies in teams. =============================================== It depends on who is asking the question. - who thought the question up ? And their seasons motivation/goals. As against the footy dept's thoughts on capability & the goals set for this season. The two questions and answers maybe at odds with one another. Some may believe we can go all the way and others may think that is pure fantasy. 1/ So some want to win every possible game as the only 2018 goal. 2/ Whilst others may think finishing 5th would not be achievable this year. The 2nd scenario is more probably realistic. So the development of the team will be for the long term, rather than for 'a one season stand'. So IF we are on more of a slow burn in development, designed to be able to last years into our futures. Remember, if this rebuild falters, it could be the clubs last. More important than a flag at this stage,,, is getting this rebuild right, and sustainable for reinstating this club back up amongst the power clubs competing on equal footing for the longer term. Then we will have many chances to jag a flag.

Simply, They're not.
