  1. Don’t like “Dees” binman?
  2. 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.
  4. No I watch kayo and if you are on I turn off the sound.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Dr. I seldom see him win ruck duals. He is average on his good days.
  9. Who knows LR. It is only a 6 day break so time may not be on his side.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Have I missed something? Is Max out?
  13. It's a while since tmac played ruck. He is playing so well in defence we would be robbing Peter to pay Paul.
  14. Milkshake has amazing vision and his kicking to position is very good.
  15. I have thought for some weeks that using roo as a ruckman is costing us in the forward line. He is a poor ruckman and we miss his presence in the forward line. We just need someone to be competitive as a ruckman.
  16. A very good question.
  17. We have to find an alternative to Roo as the second ruckman. As a ruckman he gets in the road occasionally and robs us of his presence in the forward line. .
  18. Do you know what his accuracy was?
  19. Dees by 4 points. Why? Just hopeful.
  20. Why on earth would you want to go up there! Do bring your own oxygen binman?
  21. It would be great if we could do that. We would win the flag for sure.
  22. Yes I meant the weed. I don't think I ever saw him take a contested grab. Re Jefferson, jury still out for me but I haven't seen him the last 2 weeks. Time is a funny thing. Just a couple of years ago People wanted tmac and milkshake gone because they were cooked and the weed was the thing.
  23. My view too, McAdams is NQR and lacks strength. There is a reason he is at his third club. Yes I know he did not play a game at Carlton. Will be gone when contract expires.
  24. His first efforts are not all that flash either.
