monoccular

Yes ... certainly a dilemma. Of course if Cats did get to finals they wouldn't be likely to get past a prelim. OMG - a pretty soft free, then a gift goal 50m to Dunderfield

Again, any reason that JVR was a late out?

any word on the reason for JVR absence?

Brayshaw Oliver Jackson Langdon Harmes Bowey

IF that is the case BBB for TMCD and Lever for Hunt or maybe Tommo? Smith?

Like every player in the team - given a rôle and does it well. Sure a few more excitement goals would add but to me he is doing what is asked of him.

How in the world was that not a Frittata mark? STD - quite appropriate really.

Sydney forward line totally dysfunctional - Dogs not much better.

Actually, totally believable 🙄😡

Borat incorrect disposal in front of Sydney goal - play on. No way would they miss that the other way. 25 to 8 at ¾ time. More that a threefold ratio. No accident.

McLure on ABC radio certainly asking the questions re maggots Threw it away - free to Dogs!!

….. but they have Buddy 😮😱🤔

Dogs 2:1 umpire love fest continues tonight. 😡🤢🤮

May have said it on the game day thread. I muted the TV and listened to 3AW this time, though sometimes 774 or SEN. Sometimes fiddling with the pause or FF button is needed to get full sync

6 players, 5 defenders, 4 premiership players Despite this our defence seems to be hanging in there. Says a lot about depth.

We did what we needed to do, and no more. Pocketed the 4 points. Keep doing that until the last few rounds then unleash, again.

Hope you are not including our Premiership winning coach. 😱

And who would he (Smith) replace up forward ? McDonald? Howes debut …. where and for whom? Hunt? Just remembering Petty’s premature debut set him back a year or more (though Bowey did ok 🙄). Maybe times and team philosophy have changed.

This could equally be referring to Port / Hinkley, or GW$ / Cameron.

I wouldn’t see it as making concessions, rather trying to make the most out of what could well be a complete flop. It is looking more and more that he will not make it as a KPP forward: IF he was tried as a KPP back there is a chance that he could become at worst a depth player. Just thinking outside the box.

Just saying he doesn’t always need to hit the scoreboard himself if he sets up his usual few.

A couple of questions for our Casey watchers 1/ anyone kicking the door down after today (assuming all fit in the seniors)? 2/ Howes - does he have a “plays like” for comparison, and where do you see him fitting in ultimately?

Opportunities for others - any idea of Lever’s injury?

Who replaces Hunt will depend on who is available. And not sure of any injury updates tonight - Rivers was said to be hobbling a bit again. I guess Tom McD gets to stay largely because of his adaptability, though were Weed to have a really good game tomorrow it could be tempting to give him a run.

The schedulers have set up a ripper Sunday, tomorrow, haven't they? NM v WCE Toiges v GW$ Free v Saints 🤔🤮
