Time to go Goody?
Don't think you have a clue - at all, seriously clueless with a capital C. Chandler is one of the few improvers this year. And one of the few who shows aggression when he attacks the footy. This despite being played way up the ground often in a semi tagging role. Chin would be leading the most improved in 2025.

Major memberships dropoffs invariably happen when supporters lose faith the coaching group.

Who is going backwards ? (or standing still)
Windsor, Petty, JVR, Salem, Fritsch, Rivers. And I don't think they are being used in their best positions.

Max Gawn shanks left - AGAIN
Just astonishing that someone with his resume' can't kick straight over 20 metres & seems incapable of fixing the problem.

The Alice Game
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.

HANDS UP by Whispering Jack
Absolutelty spot on there Jack. This was an abject coaching failure. Lyon gave our coaching group a barbed wire enema.

Jake Lever
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.

Jake Lever
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.

The Roy George Thread
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.

The Roy George Thread
What's happened to the lad ?? Played a couple of times for Casey then disappeared. His crumbing would be handy.

Maynard unscathed
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".

Maynard unscathed
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.

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

Maynard unscathed
Ironic that his Dad played for Melbourne. Best revenge would be to [censored] them on KB & beat them by a point in the finals.

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
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.

PREGAME: Rd 12 vs St. Kilda
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.

GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs Sydney
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 $$.

CASEY: Rd 09 vs Northern Bullants
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.
-
CASEY: Rd 09 vs Northern Bullants
I thought Henderson & Brown were disappointing. Their decision making and execution by hand & foot need to be a lot better.

Vale Robert Walls
Actually 69 in June.

Vale Robert Walls
Lovely sentiments BM. I wish there were more like him in today's media. Too young ??? I reckon if you make threescore & ten you've done ok.

Winds of Change at Port?
You can guarantee that something catastrophic will happen to Port just before we play them & they will play their best game for the year against us.

CASEY: Rd 08 vs Southport
Only knock on Kynan is his disposal. Some of his kicks were woeful today - he turns it over a lot, but he wasn't alone.
