old dee

If we are going by last weeks play against the bombers I would say he will never be picked as a ruckman. He got towelled up good and proper by the bombers ruck. I now understand why we went with Roo and company. Unless he has a contract for 2025 I think he will be gone at years end.

Spot on Bbo, last year barely 10 months ago. The initial response to Gus getting knocked out cold was no case to answer. The AFL then started a case after the public back lash. They never wanted the pies player suspended in a final series. Under this week's rulings he would have been suspended for the entire 2024 season.

I wouldn't chook. He is a VFL player. NQR at senior level.

Kentfield has done nothing. After watching this game I now know why we went last night without a reserve ruckman. A poor lot by any measure.

Yes the weed was going to the champion. Who needed Tmac.

I am streaming but no sound. Anyone with same problem.

I actually think Petty played better than the stats suggest last night.

He has been a great recruit. I think he has played every game this year. A great effort for a first year player.

Agree on both counts bb. How many wanted milkshake out 2 years ago!

You were very confident pre the premiership year LH. Where will we finish this year?

After canning Roo for his ruck work he actually did a good job last night. Perhaps we need to trade Max. Only joking. I checked the fixture this morning and every home game is at night for the rest of the season. Of course who knows when the last game will be. I am too old for these winter night games. They are great for the club financially but [censored] for me.

Well this completes a perfect sport weekend so far. Pies lose last night, Dogs win today and Dees tonight.

Don’t like “Dees” binman?

Beggars belief, why do we have Fullarton and Verrall on the list?

It is amazing last Sunday there was a constant stream of people going in and out obscuring the play. Why the hell do they bother going, I swear some of them would have missed the best part of a quarter. It's not as though they wait till a goal was scored.

No I watch kayo and if you are on I turn off the sound.

Free to air tv is a dieing system in the 21st century. Streaming is killing it, that and new forms of advertising that is targetted at the potential customer. The days of three commercial network is fast coming to an end. This decade will see the end of one or two networks. The future is a small number of free to air networks and multiple levels of streaming. I only watch 7, 9 and 10 on a very limited basis. 90% of my viewing I now pay for. I can watch what I like when I like. Because of decreasing revenue the commercial channels have gone down lower cost programing. The numerous scripted " reality " programs are the result. Now that I have fixed my Kayo problems I already watch almost all my sport on them. I have 3 pay stream companies and Kayo. Now fortunately I can afford them but whether channel seven survives or loses footy is of small consequence to me. Sadly perhaps I think it is inevitable. Free to air tv is dead in the water. Sport streaming will take up the slack from 7 and AFL will get similar amounts of money to now.

He has played 17 senior games. He is no rookie on his first game. This is the exact reason he is on the list. In the games I have seen is as quick as any ruckman and better than a lot, he can take a mark and score goals. Play the guy or move him on at season's end.

My view is he should be in the forward line all game. We are using him simply because there is no one else. I fear the alternatives at Casey are worse than the Roo. But we won't know if we don't give them a go.

I thought the same!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Dr. I seldom see him win ruck duals. He is average on his good days.

Who knows LR. It is only a 6 day break so time may not be on his side.

Hmm, looks a tough ask to beat Essendrug without him. Now if they don't play Fullerton I am lost for words which doesn't happen that often. Clearly now we need to play one of Fullerton or Verrall. From what I have seen Fullarton is at least mobile. Verrall is a slow VFL player who I have never seen dominate for Casey.

Back in the early 70's Jenkin the pies ruckman missed one game. Now with keyhole surgery I would not think it would be very long.

Have I missed something? Is Max out?
