How the Demons Hope to Bounce Back
Kev, Richo had a valid point when he suggested we started the game with a winning mindset and often established a decent lead. But after halftime we went into our shells and attempted to save the game resulting in being dumped by the opposition's momentum wave by the final siren. If we can ride the wave this season with a whole game winning belief as exhibited in '21 we can bounce back decisively.

Best 44 for Essendon
G man that analysis of Essendon's chances for season '23 was a good read, articulate, lucid and giving the boys at Mongrel Punt and Zero Hanger a run for their money. Perhaps you should go independent too! PS Your avatar image is a bit of a puzzle? My take some poor bloke is struggling to get his prosthetic leg from under the director's chair in a movie set.

Odds appear to be shortening on Judd McVee to break the duck and be amongst the first of the young uncapped guns to debut. Exciting times ahead! Go Dees.

Farewell Kye Turner
There's a 'few' lurking at other clubs including Karl Amon, Josh Battle , Aidan Bonar, Andrew Brayshaw, Charlie Constable, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Jack Gunston, Hugo Hall-Kalan, Max and Ben King, Connor MacDonald, Hugo Ralph-Smith, Jack Scrimshaw, Liam Stocker, Cody Weightman, Marcus Windhager and Josh Worrell.* Austin Bradkte was on the rookie list briefly, Jack Bell once listed at St Kilda, played with Casey last season. Paul Hopgood, Stefan Martin, Laurie Queay, Tom Scully, Tom Lynch and Stewart Loewe are Old Haileybury-VFL/AFL alumni. Scott Pendlebury and Nathan Jones will join Matthew Lloyd on the coaching panel this year at Haileybury. So it's not unreasonable to expect more AFL class recruits from this school's footy program.

Yes. As long as he’s got a wicked curved beak, talons and can pick up the crumbs :)

Don't think BBB is quite the liability some here believe when the ball hits the deck. As with Big Max its a long way down but IMM they don't disgrace themselves when contesting for the ball and deftly moving it on to the team's advantage when the opportunity arises. Of course the opposition defenders are going to have their say on proceedings, amongst the 'giraffes' are more agile 'gazelles' and 'wildebeests' who can quickly sweep the ball away giving the impression the big guys are lumbering in their wake. A few 'leopards' and 'cheetahs' might be required to redress the balance.

Congrats KT on taking the big step from Magenta and Black to premiership Red 'n Blue. Profile adjusted accordingly!- Training and Trackwatching
- Who will debut in 2023?
Given the dearth of debutante’s since ‘21 expecting for the floodgates to open? Probably not but it would be good to blood some new blokes. Deakyn Smith and Andy Moniz-Wakefield are part of the posse pushing participation.- Training and Trackwatching

On a very small sample so far but the way Deakyn moves is reminiscent TMM of Stan Alves in his pomp. Particularly his ability to weave in traffic with baulks and dummies. In a Casey game last season he attempted this outrageous blind turn on a sixpence absolute twinkle toes. Something that is very rarely seen today in football. If he can master just half the evasive skills of the #15 maestro he will be on his way.- TRAINING: Friday 10th February 2023
We suspect Picket may have been here recently!- TRAINING: Wednesday 8th February 2023
Are the brain's trust also applying the collective 'gruppendenken' to the behinds kick out?- TRAINING: Wednesday 8th February 2023
Andy, Andy Moniz-Wakefield assume he's back with the main group? How is he traveling?- TRAINING: Wednesday 1st February 2023
Picket can we be assured no 'daleks' were harmed in the making of this report?- 2023 Pass Mark
Home and Away take the 'G Finals Premiership @ MCG- TRAINING: Wednesday 25th January 2023
If he makes the list will add him to the posse of up and coming young gunslingers [sic] Judd McVee- TRAINING: Wednesday 25th January 2023
Thank you how is KT going?- TRAINING: Wednesday 25th January 2023
Kye Turner perchance? - TRAINING: Wednesday 15th February 2023
