Demon Dynasty

No doubt much that goes on is swept under the carpet with many players and clubs Jack. Unless of course it gets leaked out to the public and/or media. Loose lips sink ships!

May went down in the first quarter of the Freo match and did not return. We also lost to Sydney without him. While probably not the sole reason for both losses, in the main i would argue it's no coincidence that the winning streak ended with Freo and then Sydney without May down back. Similar replacement needed pronto to cover for games like this week.

Our king pin is out though. Injury cloud over Claz. I'm thinking coin flip. May still doesn't get enough cudos from some in the media imv. You would think there's only one AA key defender at the top according to main stream, Tom Stewart, who is more of a plus one intercept player coming off his man a la Lever.

I believe it's something like 4 - 7 or roughly 37% of games Same or very similar when both Lever & May are out When he's in, no surprise it's a big turnaround but i can't recall the exact number that was put up. If my memory serves me correct it was somewhere between 70% - 80% but don't hold me to it. We need to start looking for a serious replacement pronto. I'd be taking a good look at Sam Collins from the Suns if we can prise him out (signed to 2025) but he's not a young fella either so still need a medium term replacement. Adams was recruited as such so fingers crossed there and hopefully he will come on in the next few seasons at Casey.

We will get monstered in the middle throughout the year at this rate as we have no credible ruck and the mid stocks are shot. Early days and i guess we need to be patient & have faith blah blah blah but this is starting to have "a year to forget" type feel about it. I just hope we can piece something together so any youngsters and out-of-form / coming back from injury senior MFC players have a decent chance to ply their trade, develop their skills & gain some confidence .

That was one for the ages.... the stone ages

Freo play three of their first four games at home. AFL desperately trying to get one of their W.A. teams off to a good start and there was only one option worth the shonkey fix

The crows don't look like a Burgess driven team that's done a serious pre-season for mine. What happened?

Young has created about 30% of their play off HB / and middle yet no one appears to have gone to him all night. Terrible coaching

How bad are the Crows with ball in hand. Imagine O'brien replacing your windscreen. 3 days later... "Hello sir, your vehicle is ready"

Clear push.... 4 umps but no one makes the call. If that was a backman the whistle would be at the ready and they'd ping him straight away

Has Tex gone a year too long?

School yard umpiring woot

Tex moving like the WALKERing dead

Wow the Crows are as bad as we used to be with their entries inside 50 and conversion Having said that they just kicked their first in a while. The goal ump called that "touched a behind" !!!? WTF it was more than a foot over

No thanks DG. Had a few good games early on but very injury prone and too soft for mine.

Now that's a great post It also means the Crows (or whoever) haven't got him any earlier. Bit of insurance

4 umpires yet players are still alowed to run over the actual mark and set their own mark. They must be seeing it but just keep yelling "Stand" Yet another jokefest on display from the AFL

Healey after a basketball touch to the arm... "The free was definitely there" Time for a new pair of binoculars?

The Blues look VG but don't face anyone serious until Rnd 6 vs GWS. Even then that's at home at Marvel. The following week they play the Cats... but get another out. Not having to go to Taxpayer Park (again) and instead playing at a neutral venue (the G) Since 1990 the Blues have only played at Taxpayer Park 6 times. When looking at teams that have played the least number of games there, the Blues are ranked 3rd. Just behind the Bombers (5). With our old lovelies the Maggotpies sitting in the No.1 spot. The last time the Maggotpies played there was during the last millennium... 1999

One of the worst snooze fest voices ever. He's so bland he lulls my ears to sleep

He was in the light duties / rehab group on Monday. Not sure about the rest of the week's training

Woe in .... is that a precaution in case Chin or Claz doesn't get up?
