I thought Ollie was in great form around mid year & sure to debut. He was playing great footy in defence & seemed the go to man to distribute the ball forward. Sadly he did a hammy at the wrong time which kept him out for 6 weeks or so then received a facial injury at training which means his season is pretty much cooked. Think he deserves at least a 1 year extension.

Mt Hopeless, which Burke & Will's were trying to reach would be more apt (in several ways).

Fully agree - Hibbo & AMW are totally different types. Hibbo was quick enough for the smalls but was physical & aggressive enough for big bodied fwds. In any case AMW has shown potential but is a long way off being a regular player.

I think Demonland should shut down posters calling for posts to be shut down.

The FD is clueless. They play unfit & out of form players regularly. They have badly stuffed up this year's player management & development of Kolt, Lindsay, Lever, Spargo, McVee & Windsor.

Fully agree. With trades he's supposed to improve the list NOT degrade it. Schache, Dunstan, Billings, McAdam, Fullerton pretty much busts. Where are Cross, Vince, Hibberd & Melkshams ??

Think you are missing the point - which is that Kolt has been woefully mismanaged this year. He was rushed into the firsts with no form & not much fitness. He should have spent a month at Casey building up both. This is a dreadful way to manage a young player. Lindsay & Windsor & McVee have also been poorly managed this year.

That's it - a supporter since the late 60's & a member for 25+ years but no more until Goodie the 🤡 resigns.

I'll focus on trading Clayton for 2 players who can get a kick.

Good maybe you can give Clayton some ideas about getting a kick in his 200th

My discussion was with Picket Fence who claimed Clarry was better than Barrassi.

Exactly what in my post is incorrect ? We are currently a bottom 4 side & Clarry is being paid $1.2M a year & delivering about a third of that in value.

Wish someone would ask him about his dreadful match day tactics. Vs GWS, Geelong & St Kilda supporters & commentators & everyone but the Brains Trust (sic) could see the problem.

Your comments about Lindsay & Kolt seem obvious to most commentators & supporters in fact everyone bar Goodie the 🤡

So Windsor, Lindsay & Kolt stay in despite weeks of poor form plus Goodie's mate Sharp gets promoted while Howes & Billings can't get a sniff. All looks pretty fair to me.

He's miles from top 3. To put him ahead of RBD is shameful. Way behind Stynes, Alves, Lyon, Hardeman, Wells, Jones, Neita & several others. Still bombs away over the forwards heads - perfect punching practice for opposition defenders. And in 2024 & 2025 he's been bog ordinary.

I wonder how much selection integrity counts towards team cohesion & confidence in the coaching group. Most supporters were perplexed when Tom McDonald was dropped despite solid form. The continued selection of Windsor & Tholstrup despite playing poorly is also mystifying & it looks like Lindsay needs a rest as well. I'm not a fan of Jack Billiings but after a month of good form at Casey it's hard to understand why he is not selected.

That's an embarrassing segment by Goodie the 🤡. Most of the players he mentioned are stalling, struggling, or have gone backwards Jeffo, Johnson, Henderson, Tholstrup & Windsor. Just more spin.

The AFL have shamefully allowed player interference to go on without reprisal. Players attempting to mark are interfered with all the time. Max gets interfered with at almost every marking attempt. Every good ball player gets grabbed and held and impeded at every contest. Wrestling happens at every ruck contest. Watching the 1964 GF was like a breath of fresh air. Players went for the ball not the man.

Almost as boring as the Conga line of apologists telling us what a great job he's doing

He has to be reappointed. Then when Tassie joins we can go from the 18th most inaccurate team to the 19th most inaccurate team. A proud trajectory started in 2022.

For Jeffo to make it he needs to be able to nail those 50 % shots at goal. He doesn't have many other strings to his bow.

Not sure there's any room left in the boat

Don't worry I'm retired so I'll be happy to continue to post & hold Goodie the 🤡 to account.
