    We go there & treat it as a semi holiday. There are lots of clips showing Kosi & others having a great time at Communities & with the locals. Our opponents turn up laser focused with a single minded purpose to win the game.
  2. Absolutelty spot on there Jack. This was an abject coaching failure. Lyon gave our coaching group a barbed wire enema.

    Not much logic in this statement. Howes is playing good consistent footy & should be in the seniors. Adams has done enough to warrant a debut. Kentfield has shown a few glimpses that he may eventually make it but is miles away from playing seniors. Sestan is well ahead of both of them.

    As I've said many times Goodwin's Trademark is rushing back his "pet" players from injury without having to find form at Casey. It's worked a treat this year for Windsor, Jefferson, Tholstrup, Spargo & now Lever.
  5. I wonder is that because his Casey form is not up to scratch or he prefers playing at Fitzroy ? Casey have a swag of tall forwards & as a crumber Roy would have had a picnic in the last 2 games.
  6. What's happened to the lad ?? Played a couple of times for Casey then disappeared. His crumbing would be handy.

    My mistake - I assumed the photo in question was the one of Maynard posted previously on this thread & clearly it is not. In my view the best revenge is [censored] them on KB not endlessly encourage more thuggery by our players to "even up".

    You should give it a rest. It's sounding more & more like a lynch mob. This latest bout of "revenge outrage" started when a poster suggested the Maynard picture might be one taken after the Brayshaw incident. It clearly is not because BM has a black armband in the photo & didn't wear an armband during that infamous final.

    Am I the only one who finds this endless comments about injuring or crippling players for revenge quiet appalling.

    Ironic that his Dad played for Melbourne. Best revenge would be to [censored] them on KB & beat them by a point in the finals.
  11. Agree Sestan has been a standout with his disposal & has been good for several games. Could replace Salem in defence & move Salem to the mids.
  12. Danger game. We have a poor record in AS. Lyon is a good tactical coach & while the Saints are ordinary they manage to pull off upset wins every year.

  14. Be careful over there. I got mugged in Pattaya in 1986. I was drinking with locals then I woke up several hours later minus a few hundred $$.
  15. Goodwin Specialty is a good name for it - should be trademarked. Coming back after a long injury Haven't trained for 6 months Didn't get a kick after half a game at Casey Lacking touch & match fitness Straight back into the firsts you go It's worked well this year for Spargo, Jefferson, McVee, Tholstrup & Windsor.
