I thought it simply showed that Orio doesn’t understand sarcasm. And clearly is a very poor judge of footballers. I watched most Casey games & JVR is an outstanding talent. His season was almost as good as Fritters before he was recruited. He well deserved his selections as an emergency last year.

Whoever wrote the article is an [censored]. Should have read "did not have any impact at Casey in his first year".

+ 1

I'm not quiet sure what that means but he has been mentored and systemised at Port. Just having a famous surname doesn't always cut it.

Shame about Burgoyne then as we could really use a small quick pressure fwd who can kick goals to help out Kossie. A Ricky Jackson or Jeff Garlett in their heyday would round the team off beautifully.

He should be investing in developing skills that he can use post football.

I know its a tough job running the Demonland site but can't you guys block out fake ads ? The phony ads using David Koch to promote dodgy crypto currency come up all the time on Demonland are clearly trying to scam people and are probably run by criminals.

You seem to be running a one man Bennell fan Club promotion. HB is clearly delusional about what he has to offer. Apart from the fact that he is over the hill & injury prone he has a history of indiscretions at all 3 clubs he played at.

Surely you're kidding about McVee. I watched most games & he did absolutely nothing at Casey & was well behind several Casey listed players in effectiveness.

Was overlooked despite very good form like a number of other Casey players. Instead the BT kept playing injured & out of form players which eventually caught up with us & we were punished accordingly.

Yes very sensible move

Yep lets recruit a 30 year old who has been a poor role model, has history of misdemeanours & played 3 games in the last 5 years. Just what we need to take the club forward.

I thought in 2022 we were a bit slow & needed more leg speed coming out of defence, up forward & across the centre. We then lost possibly the 3 quickest on our list Hunt, Bedford & Baker. Our drafting was mainly KP talls who have good potential but I'm worried our lack of pace could be a real problem in 2023.

Agree extremely serious stuff but only allegations at this stage. We havent heard the other side of the story. The size of the lynch mob is scary.

That is speculation & a shameful slur on the Club without a scrap of evidence. You shoud hang your head.

You complain about Bolt using selective facts then you go & do exactly the same thing. Colonisation has been happening from the time of the first modern humans. The Romans did it to the Britons. The Chinese did it to the Tibetans & Putin is still trying it.

My father & my father in law were both taken from their birth mothers (1920's & 1930's) one to an orphanage & one to foster parents. Both had crappy experiences which scarred them deeply. Seems if this happened to anglo kids its just standard operation but if you are Indigenous then you are part of a stolen generation - I don't see the difference.

You will get into trouble with some groups who claim copyright on the word genocide

Or the usual suspects who take every opportunity to show they are morally superior & smarter than everyone else.

He tries hard & maybe has shown steady improvement but he can't mark, kick or handball which may hamper his development somewhat.

Those suggesting drafting Bell are either totally clueless or have never seen him play.

Lets keep things in perspective. She inherited the job, had bucketloads of money she never worked for & lived a privileged life of luxury most of us can only dream of.

Of the top 8 sides our fwd set up is probably the worst. Our plan continues to be bomb it long & preferably to the pockets. Every other team manages to kick low to space. So who to blame ?

Got that one badly wrong - was hoping we would recruit him at the time. Has had a poor year.

Write off Geelong at your peril. Scott is no fool. We humiliated them last year & they have clearly improved. Close & Stengle have added pace & the dont just rely on Sellwood & Dangerfield any more. We can beat them but they will be tough.
