  1. Max had no influence on the game & poor disposal. 6 Tmac 5 Rivers 4 JVR 3 Pickett 2 May 1 Salem
  2. Taj's disposal improved but was sloppy early on. He missed several passes by foot when under minimal pressure. Foot disposal has been one of his assets but he needs to improve if he wants to make it as a regular
  3. This demonstrates that you have no idea. What on earth is "too light" ? That's a subjective & meaningless statement. And get it right - McAdam is at his 2nd club not his 3rd.
  4. Yes it reminds me of the supporters who were $hitty over the Norm Smith sacking & carried a grudge for the next 45 years
  5. Suit yourself but don't end up like a Footscray supporter mate who was still banging on about Rod Grinter's hit on Terry Wallace 10 years after the event claiming Grinter should have gone to jail. Nobody likes what happened to Angus but in the scheme of terrible things that can happen to people it should be kept in perspective.
  6. And we're you a serial windbag by any chance ?
  7. Fully agree. There is a lot of rubbish being written on this site & it ought to be shut down. Sometimes life is unfair & you can endlessly whine about it or get on with it.
  8. Well 2 of the last 3 games demonstrate an existential crisis. I don't want us to be next seasons North Melbourne.
  9. The Board & Pres & CEO have been pretty quiet in the media & in communications generally this year. Now might be a good time to rally the faithful & give us some hope.
  10. What didn't help was the geniuses in our Brains Trust (sic) who decided to bring in Ben Brown & Grundy on a soaking wet day. It cost us the game & not for the first time.
  11. Agree George. It's depressing seeing Verrall & Fullerton getting consistently beaten in the VFL by "good ordinary" VFL standard ruckmen. Heaven help us if Max gets injured.
  12. Come on get it right McMahen was a Melbourne legend McMahon was a dud Prime Minister.
  13. Classic QB. I was going to ask if he was related to Harvey.
  14. "More than serviceable" no he was not up to it although he played as a defender back then. Probably not a bad idea but can't see clubs drafting 28 year old on ballers. Maybe if key fwd or a ruckman.
  15. 6. Gawn 5. Viney 4. TMac 3. Langdon 2. Salem 1. ANB
  16. I had written him off too & happy to be proved wrong but let's keep it in perspective. After a season & a half that's probably the 2nd time he's been named in Casey's best. He needs a few consecutive performances like yesterday before being considered for promotion.
  17. "lacked the defensive positioning" - what sort of nonsense is that !! We were beaten 'cause WC were more desperate & aggressive, spanked us at centre bounces & we were innafective in attack & Darling & Waterman pantsed our defence. We had maybe 3 or 4 good players all game.
  18. Maybe you should change your moniker to Hunter's Mate 🤣🤣🤣. Seriously AMW got 95 DT points last game to Hunter's 46. Hunter was terrible & doesn't deserve a promotion on last week's effort unless he was unwell or injured.
  19. Moniz Wakefield has been a mile ahead of Hunter in the last few Casey games.
  20. RDB clearly the winner. Warne Smith - Captain, 2 Brown lows & a Premiership has to be 2nd. Robbie the best I've seen followed by Lyon.
  21. I don't mean to whine but what happened to dog diversity ? There are hundreds of breeds of dogs yet these days people only seem to have 3 or 4 types !!
  22. Struggling to impose himself at Casey so promote him up to the next level - sounds logical to me.
  23. Yep you were right & I end up looking like a goose Mind you his selection totally contradicts Goody's earlier comments that McAdam would not play until he had several Casey games under his belt. Let's hope this works out better than the Petty or Bowey returns when they were clearly underdone.
  24. Do posters actually ever inform themselves of the facts ??? Stop posting innacuate, dumb stuff. Schache is injured, didn't play the last game & is not available. Posters still calling for McAdams inclusion despite Goodwin & the Club insisting he needed to play several games at Casey.
  25. Are you referring to Turners, Van Rooyens, Salem's & BBB's as well as to McAdams ?
