Jaded No More

JVR admitted not long ago that while he was playing well at Casey last year, he was nowhere near fit for AFL. He said he was cramping in last quarters and there is just no way he could have run out a game of AFL. And he’s a much bigger body than Jefferson.

It makes their already risky high press every riskier because all their ground ball defenders push really high so the wet means any turnover leaves them exposed in defense as Moore’s job is much harder when it’s wet.

Miracle 2 hour recovery since this morning 😂

Hey @WalkingCivilWar is the club trying to confuse Collingwood? Continued narrative that Fritta is not a certain starter… is it a whole club joke or something?

Well I just listened to David King rave about us on SEN. We are doomed

Are we also getting a run on the G? Or is that only for Pies? 🙄

The news I didn’t know I needed Well done Rick! Captain in waiting.

Will be lucky to play before a Grand Final. Knee fractures are no joke.

I just don’t want rain because our seats are not undercover. But I’ll survive as long as we win. Just. Bloody. Win!

Says the man who left Melbourne because he didn’t want to be a defender

Wow that’s seriously mean to Viney.

I reckon we lost that game because Butters was off the charts (and we didn’t shut him down hard enough), and because Clarry was clearly hampered in the last quarter with his hammy. Essendon game was a disaster. Poor preparation with the game in Perth the week prior. Just horrible. Rain or no rain we don’t win it. Geelong and GWS games were the ones where the rain killed us. Ball use and skills were atrocious. Geelong and GWS just adapted far better. Although kick straight and don’t lose Fritta and we win that GWS game comfortably.

The invisible moonboot strikes again. This thread needs to die now please.

Geelong Carlton game was wet up until the game

I choose West Coast

I’m frankly shocked he didn’t have more suitors. He was one ankle injury away from being a premiership player. Essendon for one would have been a good fit. Not that Essendon is better than West Coast… at least he gets good weather in Perth 😂

MFCSS but make it meteorology

Turn the sprinklers on at Casey

I don’t think the club wants to let Grundy go, but understand that he’s in his right to want to play AFL every week. He’s certainly good enough too! Question is, how do we make that work with Gawn? Because it hasn’t worked so far.

I hope he plays. He will last about 3 minutes.

Source? 😂

Mine gets better and better 😂

Grundy has been nothing but committed and passionate. He has done absolutely nothing wrong. Both he and Gawn wants this to work but unfortunately it hasn’t. If he wasn’t playing alongside Gawn I doubt he’d be the one dropped. As Gawn said he was lucky to have the C next to his name because he wasn’t performing either. I am sure Brodie is very disappointed at this turn of events. He came to us wanting to win a flag and make a strong partnership with Gawn work. He probably is very upset at the thought he might be at his third club in 3 years, when he never wanted to leave the Pies to begin with. I have nothing but respect for how he’s carried himself and I have no doubt that if he goes at season’s end he won’t burn the club on the way out.

Well now it says rain up to 4mm and to finish by 4pm 🤷‍♀️ I wouldn’t think about the weather until hours before the game as it’ll change 12 times until then

Brown is injured. As for the rest we are keeping 1-2 back ups for each position heading into finals. Anything can happen. A training mishap, concussion, an injury during week one of finals. Illness. You never know and you don’t want to die wondering. Spargo is definitely in line for a call up if they are unsure about Laurie for example. And Schache and Woey are insurance. If one of Hunter or Langdon get injured Woey could replace them. And if we lose anymore talls then Schache is basically next in line. Casey were up against it this season needing to win a wild card just to make finals. Whereas our AFL side is right in the mix to win another flag. I know where my priorities are and while it sucks for Casey, that is just how it is.
