Do the Dees have the pieces to make another premiership tilt?
Casey had their share of injuries as did MFC - IMVHO a big problem was that we didn’t give the Casey performers a run when the MFC guys were NQR. Not so sure. Petty certainly is a top grade tall defender, but remember Tommo was a lock in before his ACL. Usually takes a season or more to make a full recovery. And of course there is Disco. Neitz only became a forward, a Coleman winner, from necessity when Ox went down again. Alternatively Tommo should at least be given a look at being a tall forward.

Demonstone's and Flaubert's English Grammar for Demonlanders 101
Ten you need grammatical lessons - not stop start, but just the briefest of pauses allowing one to catch one’s breath. Is that the ATM machine of vulgar common parlance, or, more correctly, the AT machine? Surely the ante penultimate word could be better expressed as discerning

Jumper numbers for season 2023?
Liam Jurrah was twice the player wearing #48 than he was in #24 🙄 BBB was a premiership FF in #50

Welcome to Demonland Josh Schache
Well I think he seems to have been earmarked, at least on this forum, as the whipping boy successor to Sam, who took over form JW4.

One surely would prefer a fine Bordeaux or a champagne to a punch in such an establishment - punch probably not even on the menu.

Yes - ex And some of us thought that AFL corruption was limited to the MRP / tribunal / appeals board, but ….. ?? addendum : and schedule, sometimes amusingly referred to as “the draw”.

Frankly I would put Mihocek well ahead.

Welcome to Demonland Matthew Jefferson
But beware - his American great great great grandfather’s brother’s second cousin may have owned slaves which means he should be cancelled.

Why did we fade out in games?
Cats had the sense / need to rotate more players though their line ups thus allowing niggles to cover a well as exposing more players. Hope we learn. I seem to recall David Parkin who wasn’t all that bad a coach saying that a premiership team must not stagnate and must introduce a few basic changes every year regardless of how good they were to avoid stagnating which I feel is what happened to us.

Farewell Toby Bedford
I haven't seen enough of them to compare, but how do Bedford, Chandler and Spargo compare in their ability to tackle and make those tackles stick? Spargo does this pretty well for a small forward, and I suspect that Goody puts a lot of value in this. Have seen just about nothing of Chandler - his one run this year was as I recall a part game (as sub) v North in which he was very harshly IMO suspended for two games and wants seen again. I recall that he was going very hard at it when the incident occurred.

Farewell Jayden Hunt
I guess it would depend on what $$, and contract length, he consumed in comparison with the other two (Smith, Melksham). So hard to compare players when those factors have to be taken into account. For example if all 3 asked for exactly the same 2-3 year contracts, then Melksham would clearly be at the bottom end of the three. I wouldn't want to be a list manager - far too many variables to be taken onto account. Would anyone here?

Mitch Georgiades
But we do need to go for what is available. see below BBB is NOT a high pack marking forward and we should realise that by now - he is an excellent LEAD UP marking forward and generally a reliable set shot .... we just need to change our delivery inside 50 play

Farewell Brodie Grundy
So, DeeSpencer, I gather you aren't really likely to move to the City of Casey anytime soon. Max seemed to still be doing the defensive 50 drop back up until QB when that mongrel Cox 😎 repeatedly, and unpenalised, kneed him in the back, from which he really didn't recover.

What's next for Adem Yze?
Hope he can spend another few years learning from / helping Goody.

Jack Bowes Salary Dump
Don’t know enough about GC$, but do they have a surplus of “his type”? Otherwise, if he is as good as some here seem to think, why would they let him go?
