Tom Freeman dropped unbelievable!!!

Siren sounded grey day at Casey. Rain threatening. Taj getting a run.

Perhaps a hostage poster swap between BB and DL is a possibility. Share the misery.

Dare l say it Goody swinging JVR into the ruck at the commencement of the second quarter had something of David v Goliath about it. Especially when the heavens opened up. Or more comically Charlie Chaplin as the new recruit in Easy Street. Draper of course plays the behemoth bully. He certainly has the appearance and facial expressions of a vaudevillian villain. But seriously JVR is a big lad, physically he appears to have caught up with Steven May. No shrinking violet himself. Terrific to have that flexibility and dual impact in your back pocket. (Tall forward and midfield/ruck). ps Good summation Swooper

Post game at Yarra Park Essendon Football Club masquerading as an escaped circus elephant cling vicariously to fifth position on the ladder. Brad Scott although obviously disappointed will be seeking AFL guidance on future umpire selections.

Last year in fact. Expect Simon to have done his homework this time and learned his lessons. As evident last Sunday, bushwhacked out West earlier in the season, to emphatic victors in the return match. Meanwhile he has backed in the young blokes, plus overseen a return to form of or from injury of key experienced players. The team performance has improved with a return to the basics of pressure, contest and placing a premium on defense. The bounce back from the rout in Alice, almost imperceptible at first, has gathered momentum from becoming competitive to winning. Cream, l prefer mine double fortified rather than whipped.

WCW up here we’re great admirers of your commitment to the cause and most appreciative of your training reports etc. Therefore we wish to nominate you as a deserved recipient of a DL ‘Golden Ticket’. Not exactly sure of what the prize 🏆 looks like? Leave that up to Roald, Andy & Co. But definitely expecting the ‘boys’ to get the chocolates this Saturday night.

Two Oscars for an Oscar. 1. Oscar McDonald busted knee and all is at least ‘Way out West’ 🎸 2. Oskar Baker has the matinee idol looks and is definitely west of the Maribyrnong. Love for it to happen. But doubt even the Hollywood dream machine could concoct this fantasy.

joeboy - brevis Sporting Globe Ed Langdon - mojo magic working Caleb Windsor - get dictionary out? Steven May - keep Petty campaign Tom McDonald - best tall defender Kade Chandler - underrated defensive forward Taj Woewodin - 🎼 start me up Looking forward to next Saturday night at the ‘G. Opening quarter was exemplary. Last quarter an incremental improvement.

Appears to be fitter now than when he made his debut earlier in the season. So is giving himself more opportunities to be competitive, get separation and kick goals. Impressed by his second efforts too recently. Would fit well into a functioning forward line. Where's Tex?

Here's to a prickly reception at the 'G. #18 has got unfinished business.

On my viewing of your namesake this arvo Brownie, less prominent than last week. But still pops up with some clever team orientated plays. Another pre-season will add some further definition. An exciting prospect IMHO.

Mercifully the final siren. Team stats up minus free kicks for and against. On oversight or an AFL directive? Tackle count positive or just evidence of chasing tail?

JEFFO goal!

Shane McAdam denied a certain goal. Free kick KFW.

Camera operative “Where’s the @#!? is the ball?” When in doubt pan.

Shane McAdam smart footballer cribbed a metre laterally. Certain goal.

Game seems like an outtake of a Dr Who episode. “Resistance is futile.”

Tough day at the office. Time for a cuppa.

Kynan Brown smart little footballer. Can the Shak deliver? No

Gummy Bears kicking into the breeze like it’s a five goal advantage. Casey’s efforts are shambolic.
