After 57 years mostly in the irrelevance wilderness seeking “The Grail” Simon delivered. Those with short attention spans expecting a McFly miracle may well be disappointed. These ‘knights’ thought worthy indeed some were valiant tried and failed.

Not necessarily wishing to get ahead of the cliche ‘one week at a time’. But how many of the AFL listed players who have played for Casey will be eligible to play finals? The younger brigade Adams, Brown, Kentfield, Mentha, Sestan, Verrall, Woewodin, plus older heads Billings, Campbell, Culley, Fullerton, Laurie would you’d (depending on fitness) think be most likely included. Henderson, Howes, Jefferson, Johnson, Spargo, Tholstrup, Howes may or may not meet the selection criteria? Some of the younger VFL listed guys Mitch Kirkwood Scott, Tyson Sruk and Paddy Cross are worthy inclusions but would get the nod after who’s in and out from the AFL squad members.

Back in the Dreamtime when Max’s captaincy was in its infancy. At a pre-game practice session at Marrara. Max ball in hand came charging out of the Michael Long Centre down the player race onto the oval. Perpendicular to the goal posts Max kicked the ball off the outside of his left boot at a right angle through the centre of the goals. Casual as you like, did Allen Jakovich proud.

After last week’s… There’s skeletons out of the closet… A number have clocked off… What’s up today… Lunch at Pellegrini’s… Catch the Bourke Street tram… A close shave at Southern Cross… The wall’s crashing down… But we shall endure… We’re stopping the rot!

I’m hopeful Jai takes a few scalps at the Dockland badlands. Have good one!

BTO Earl? Backman Turner Oversight. The game may have changed but would have thought you put your best players forward of the ball. Last time he was swung forward in Alice missed a few opportunities but has otherwise been a capable goal kicker. Team selection and performance this season has farcical at times. Reminiscent of Stan Keaton reprising Desperate Dan at the Last Chance Saloon.

Casey appear to have taken the foot of the pedal. Zebras getting some junk time goals. Casey misfiring in front of goal. Mitch Hardie uncharacteristic miss. Kynan Brown a smart little player. Sharpie’s fourth!!!!
Has he bought his personal kicking coach with him? Pickett can put his hand up. He’s a local.
Late for the party at Casey Fields missed the fireworks too. Second half thus far a few observations; Commentators obviously newbies ban the bounce or bounce just at start of qt. !!! Umpires need to practice bouncing the ball and getting decisions right. Tom Campbell going well. Deakin Smith looking OK. Jed Adams has got some attributes. Willem Dursma looks a talent. Scout Taylor needs to move heaven and earth to get another Dursma in. Father/Son dill get it done. You owe us one.
Agree Rab its pretty much on par with a flock of seagulls fighting over last week's chips the council hasn't collected from the foreshore bin.
Among the best of the VFL listed young players for Casey last week. Kicked a goal drifting forward from defence. Go Bloods!
Final acceptances are in. This week's trifecta at Dapto. Charlie Spargo, Harry Petty and Captain Sparrow Gamble responsibly
10th on the rickety VFL unwieldy competition ladder. Still hanging on for the wildcard round. Third highest % a draw a handful of wins and no parachute.
David King calling for 6 weeks that's a bit rich. Considering Archer and Pickett were taking no prisoners on a weekly basis. Harrison Petty didn't put a foot wrong. He is the midas man can swing back. If forward line impact is a prerequisite, Aiden Johnson would have to be considered. That game would have to be his new highlights reel in one. Showed a lot more than in any previous game this year. Sticky fingers like Spiderman.
Aiden Johnson 119 AF points 22 disposals 13 kicks 9 handballs 16 contested possessions plus numerous one%’s. 5 goals 2 behinds. 72.7% disposal efficiency. Looks like a ‘shiny’ new man after his surgery. On that performance automatically improves the forward line.
AJ in next week without doubt. BOG Goal x5
Umpires have some cojones after all. Kentfield mark and fracas. 5Om to goal line. Goal! Yay! 100 points up
Blooz brothers butter fingers in defence. AJ hits the post. Radar off. Culley team play pass to Hardy. Goal! Luker in the right spot. Goal x20! 100 point margin
Soft as fairy floss slips blooz umpire assist goal. Cream could be better below his knees. Backs up with good intercept. Luker x2 second for qt. Umpire still working on bounce down. Casey… it’s a procession
Mitch Hardy behind to start scoring in the second half. Laurie straight kick goal. 50metre penalty? umpire has NFI. Cream reads flight of ball well. Jack Billings is over the yips. Goal Harrison Petty harassment tackle free goal! Burst straight out centre bounce. Mitch Hardy leads marks goals. Training drill Luker marks goal!!!
GW, Luker has had some nice touches including an unselfish goal assist to Big Tom. Aiden Johnson is the star up forward so far eclipsing both Harry and Luker. Young Ricky very good first qt.
