Don't flatter yourself stuie And you originally replied to me here, not vice versa. Happy for Dunny to get another chance, but meh.

Where did I say that we should stick with Garland? Typical stuie putting words into other's mouths. Did you really expect the club VFL player review to write anything bad about Dunn? This is from KC from Casey's report: Casey Scorpions 1.4.10 10.8.69 15.12.102 19.19.133 Sandringham 7.3.45 9.3.57 13.6.84 16.6.102 Goals Casey Scorpions Munro T Smith 3 Dawes Hulett Morris Weideman 2 Briggs Neal-Bullen Pattison Spencer Trengove Best Casey Scorpions Neal-Bullen Munro Newton T Smith Hutchins White

Dunn got 28 last game at Casey but not listed in the best. Hardly a ringing endorsement to be elevated back into the seniors. Should be at the peak of his career.

Regardless of the hair splitters, still good information. Thanks for sharing.

So does that mean Hogan was on minimum wages last year, his 2nd with us?

Truly groundbreaking thought. Would never have considered that.

No wonder why he had such a big smile on his face at training yesterday

Happy to be at the Dees!

This shot looks like it should be on a 1960's Scanlon's footy card

Prestia is a gun. Pure and simple. Those who deny this either haven't seen him in action or are playing down his worth in case we don't get him. Any team would be considerably better with Prestia in it. I'd love him at the Dees.

I was listening before to a woman on SEN talk about netball tactics against opposition. She was referring to not always going through one star player, and in the AFL she mentioned Buddy and GAJ. Aside from that, what struck me was when she talked about clubs needing a fair degree of unpredictability in their set ups and plans, not always doing the same thing. When a team plays to a similar pattern each week, any opposition who have done their homework will quickly work out ways of getting around it. The Australian water polo team in 2000 specifically mixed up their patterns which regularly lead to confusion by their opponents. Other teams never knew who was going to shoot for goal. I believe they won the gold that Olympic year. Whilst we are yet to master this so-called diamond defence, it will be quickly worked out and countered by teams that are well organised and sufficiently skilled to work around it, partly because it leaves us highly vulnerable when things go wrong. Do we need a number of different patterns, defence/offence strategies or options? Or can someone point out where we have attempted this?

Diesel Williams has acknowledged he has significant brain issues related to numerous concussions during his career. I think there would be many more that are either undiagnosed or have been kept private.

Poor bastard. No one wanted to see that happen again.

Thought I read on a Casey thread Frost has been played in the back half at Casey only recently. Previously he's played forward there? Not sure on that though. Backline appears the best spot for him, particularly as Weid comes on over the next year or two. Frost has great speed for his size and attacks the ball, some of his run downs have been excellent. From what I have seen of him at NAB cup and H&A games this year his marking is ok but not a strength. And he is a poor second ruck. My main concerns are kicking, decision making and that he 'goes missing' very easily during games. If I see another KPD at Melbourne kick to a 1:3 contest or turn it over by foot I fear for the wellbeing of those sitting around me at the game. At the moment, given he has been played as a forward at Melbourne, I'm struggling to see why we recruited him. Did we get the wrong sibling?

Only if he cuts off the man bun.

The Darebin women's team, of which Daisy is captain, is generally considered the best team in the local comp. Hope we raid them as those players have bonded and already know each other's strengths.

There appears to be little structure, rules or planning into the women's national competition which is amazing given it starts next year. The AFL will do what they do best in these circumstances - make it up as they go along with no rhyme or reason and no accountability.

You two should: a) Get a room. It's cute to see you so happy together. b) Understand that they didn't bring in another tall back for last week's game because they didn't think anyone was fit enough or in form to warrant selection. That's what Roos said. I've never said it was the correct call, but got into this discussion to put stuie's one liner quote into context with what Roos said in his presser. If you look back in this thread and other post match threads you will see I have been critical of selection for quite some weeks. You two are straw man arguing now. I'll leave you to keep going in circles.

Let's put Pythagoras at CHB. Knows how to switch play.

If he wants to go, that would be a good result for the bombers

Michael Hurley.

It was a coal defence on the weekend leuc.

Plastic surgery. He's clearly narcissistic.

The irony is for the equivalent game at the G last year we had Fitzy at FB against Boyd and he rogered him to the point where Boyd was subbed. Fitzy had a run of good games in the back line at Casey and then demolished Boyd. But for the sake of my post, let's turn a blind eye to his tunnel ball for one moment..... please.

Melksham?
