    Agree but as well keep searching for the elusive 200 centimetre mobile support
  2. Agree 100 per cent. I am not an academic but I’d get the best mathematical bloke we can find . Task him with the precise formula based on Keep Max in game for another 3 years Max game time total Game time as a percentage between rucking, on the pine and in goalsquare.

    Some guys get to AFL just on talent or height with potential. And some who have those attributes just don’t have the passion or desire. Meanwhile it pays better than an ordinary job. I think Tom fits somewhere in that category. Was worth a shot but others should be in front of him now. AJ might just have the passion to keep improving.

    Three ahead of him now all with different attributes. Johnson Van Rooyen and Campbell. I not into criticizing Fullerton but back to Casey.
  5. Excellent observation.
  6. Looking at our Casey side got me reminiscing. The first was when I first saw Sean Wight play in the VFL reserves at the MCG. I noticed him in the third quarter but it was his last quarter that got me excited. He must have taken 10 brilliant marks across half back, only a very slight exaggeration. The other was at the G as well, on the Southern stand wing. He was beating a respected opponent at boundary throw ins and holding marks and linking up around the ground. On both occasions I couldn’t believe our luck of what was to come and that’s how it played out .
  7. May is far from done..been carrying an injury.

    I see what you mean but JVR is undersized to be a big forwad in the modern game.
  9. Missing your point.
  10. Agree on both. Trial JVR in backline but he’s got a few in line before him. Fritta needs to put a block of 4 games at Casey. Min 10 goals and defensive pressure.
  11. Anyone remember the great duo Lou and Jack arguing about the ruck position. Lou saying it’s easy , Jack saying it wasn’t. Max is best I’ve ever seen. That said if you compete and level the contest you have done a good job. That’s exactly what Fullarton did today. Gave Max a few breathers and look at the outcome.
  12. Yes, agree. Spargo , Melk and Sparrow need to lift though
  13. When on fire arguably best in competition
  14. He is probably around player 30th pick now. Shame
  15. Come on , no Lever May McVee. Turner off at half time.
  16. Very good Thorstrup. Tired second half Langford Next big thing
  17. True with the crowd but what a great opportunity for the AFL to look at curtain raiser again. Even under 18s
  18. I am positive today. Why? I think our mids will take up the challenge matching Freos stars. Fullarton in signals a new approach or emphasis on better approach forward . That’s it, not much but I’m going to enjoy it.
  19. I haven’t seen him play but hope Culley can play a physical role there as well. Windsor is a winger , leave him there, make the MCG wing his.

    How is that relevant to what I heard.

    Talking to someone close to Weideman who I know didn’t do enough to make it. However he said Goody told him not to lead. Rather, we will kick it to you. Sounds familiar.
  22. Can I call a lifeline to answer?
  23. Agree to the extent one of them has to play each week and develop a role. I think they should be judged together with Gawn as a rucking forward duo rather than as an individual and secondary role. They are there as support to get the best out of Max and keep him from being battered. First sign of a opposing ruck getting rough, bring on the second ruck which needs to be Johnson or Campbell when fit.

    Thank you. I was beginning to doubt I knew anything about footy, finding a team mate, kicking to a lead, kicking to space. Is this all ego stuff that the culprits get a disposal count no matter where it goes, and metres gained. Or is it worse they don’t want lesser lights shining? It’s been going on for years now. Fritta the worst culprit for not being a team player
