Very Jaded

Lack of two way running now is costing us. I am giving them a break because it’s 900 degrees.

How is that a mark? 190 players touched that 😂

Hunter steal of the century

I mean he is wearing shoes and running so it’s not at amputation levels yet. But if we risk him we are beyond stupid.

Maybe they’re gonna do 3 and 3?

Keep us posted please. This sounds bad.

I’m really looking forward to seeing JVR. Surely old knee Brown and old foot McDonald are done.

May needs to chill. I don’t need him suspended.

I like seeing how many players we are rotating through the centre square.

Is the wind favoring one end more?

This is why we are cactus without Fritta

Field kicking has been impressive. Goal kicking not so much.

Backline looks messy. I do like the look of McVee.

Hunter has been excellent. Love this for us.

Is there a gale wind? What is happening in front of goal???

Goal kicking has ummm not improved

Hence my question re our admin staff.

That’s not a bad injury list. Only Fritta and Salem are best 22.

Because most people post Covid are choosing to work from home where possible.

How many admin staff work from home now? At least partially? I would say most if not all.

It wasn’t about money or length of contract. Bedford wanted game time which is something he was struggling to get at Melbourne and obviously GWS were able to promise him a spot in their best 22. We will keep losing good young players if we don’t reward them with game time. Poor kid I hope he makes a speedy recovery. He’s a very talented young man and deserves a good career.

He is basically our best forward, so if he has anything serious going on we are stuffed. Fingers crossed just precaution.

I have no allegiance to Casey. I would support Melbourne whether the home base was in Richmond, Cranbourne, Frankston or Werribee. Because I am not a fickle snob who thinks our club has to stay connected to the rich white inner city suburbs of Melbourne, which are becoming less and less attainable to 90% of the population of Melbourne, including Melbourne supporters. My only concern is to get our club a home base, and the reality is that getting one in inner Melbourne is looking less and less likely to happen. We need to look outside the box or we will end up homeless for another 3 decades. That is just the reality. If we could get a home base in inner Melbourne, it would have happened by now. It hasn't. Time to look elsewhere, or stop complaining about a lack of home base. You can't have it both ways it seems.

How many people have we converted in inner Melbourne? Do you have data on that? When was the last time anyone with deep family roots in a footy club has switched teams? Do you really think that having a home close to the MCG will help us gain new members? You might get a few international students, but they are often not here for long and might come along to a few games for the novelty. Immigrants with kids who go to schools in the Casey area are much more likely to get involved with a footy team. Every school has footy days and footy clinics. Most immigrants in the Casey area are from India and surrounding areas. They are not in any way shape or form devoted to soccer. They would be happy to follow a winter sport when Cricket isn't on. Likewise there are loads of young couples buying new house and land packages out Casey way. Young couples who plan on having kids. Kids who then go to school and get influenced to follow a team that just so happens to be located close to home. Not many young couples can afford to buy or even raise young kids in inner city Melbourne anymore.
