BURY MY HEART AT CASEY? Post-apocalypse and the vampire banana-benders are still after blood. Question is will the few survivors rally? And send the horde of speculators, carpet baggers, condominium sales staff, eye-gougers and Zorko-ites back across the border to Christopher Skase Land? Round 1 ... be there!

Broadcast; No comment Opposition hyperbole watch; Buddy is still laughing all the way to the bank. Overall comment. Too many comfortable passengers. Whole club needs to follow Clayton Oliver's red-collar, roll up your sleeves, into the fray performance.

Is JVR a wildcard chance for Sub?

RPFC a well reasoned and rationale post. The game he played this year when our regular ruck options were out was one of his better outings for the season. Demon victory from memory? So not the liability some claim. Although it’s a fine line with Sam. After an excellent start against the dogs he did fade out, but he was not home alone. The more guys that buy in to the team ethos the greater the chance of success. May be this preseason he needs to prioritise some resilience training and ‘toughen up’. Boot camp as an extra in a sword and sandal epic rowing a Roman galley would suffice.

Maybe the satellite feed is superior here beyond the horizon. But much to be ebullient about with some commendable performances on display by many of the younger brigade today. Deakyn Smith; not afraid to get amongst it plus has some top defensive skills. Daniel Turner; a courageous player, who backs his judgement and is able to deliver the ball to his team's advantage. Toby Bedford; poised to go beyond a few in the senior side (hope he stays). Pressure and tackling were first rate. Jacob Van Rooyen; has had the opportunity to develop his game at Casey. Will make a definite impact at AFL level. Blake Howes, Taj Woewodin and Fraser Rosman also caught the eye and will have further opportunities to shine in this VFL final series.

Given, but has shown some commendable ‘smarts’ around the packs on today’s showing. Had some kicks on goal which didn’t, come off too.

Probably won’t please those with the ‘Weidicide’ agenda but Campbell Brown on 7 suggested with ‘Jacko’ apparently about to deecamp. A vacancy ‘may’ exist for a backup ruckman/forward. Given Weed has battled manfully against two AFL hardened opposition ruck men and performed competatively. Maybe there is a crack of light at the end of the tunnel. .

Chris from Camberwell comes across as some sort of 'Milton the Monster' type mutant hybrid with a humouresque demonic twist. Concocted deep down in the Demonland laboratories. Contributors from the Demonland 'illuminati' who could be called to lend their 'bits' to this ungodly patch up. Include: Special Robert because he is out there; Demonstone who 'talks' in riddles; daisycutter is a tram ride away; Redleg is well connected; Uncle Bitters has the necessary thick hide; picket fence for just a drop..., oops!!! ..., of his fervent deemania and Whispering Jack because he keeps banging on about... Chris from Camberwell.

Chaser?

Strictly Shateaux Cardboard given recent behaviour. Blues prefer brown paper bags of course.

Some most worthy candidates for All Australian honours from our terrific 2022 team. Wishing Angus Brayshaw and Bayley Fritsch magna [censored] laude for this year's gongs.

Yipes!!! Needs to work on the yips first. If Choco can do his magic Yippee!

From a Jack Joker to a King With no regret I’ve stacked the cards last night round And luck played a part when you kicked just right To make Max King of demonlanders’ hearts

The moneyball disco hasn’t worked. Post the retirement rush, Rats has now had to embrace the grassroots agrarian revolution given the paucity of home grown talent on their list.

Broadcast; Some myopic confusion mainly on 7 about who were the antagonists? Opposition hyperbole watch; Zorko’s pantomime performance as the dastardly villain was overplayed, insensitive and absurd. Overall comment; Terrific team performance, opposition are roadkill rapidly disappearing in the rear vision mirror. Bring on September!!
