Interesting, do you think there is a case to bring him in next week as an extra tall defender - I'm by no means sold on him in any position at AFL level but I think if we try and cover McKay and Curnow with May and Lever we are asking for another loss - Lever is not a KPD - he is great as third man in and intercept marker but not great one on one with anyone that is bigger than he is IMO

Look you are probably right, and this is the only Casey game this year I haven't watched (yet) It would be nice to see him use his mobility more to advantage and lead out to space more and command the footy - he does have good hands - I guess with relatively poor delivery and zone defense by most teams the ability to do this now is very difficult. One thing I do know is that atm trying to tack pack or contested marks is not his go he needs to find more ways to get involved in the play and have some impact

And yet they can't beat anyone bar a rabble in Norf ? go figure

Got it more than lots of his mates He is one of the very few that is capable of creating and hitting a target I’d be waving bye bye to others before him

Our learnings don’t seem be learnt then I guess maybe that’s the problem

I think some people over estimate our list - I’m still trying to work out if some of them are just done at this level or our system / passion is just not right

Haven’t watched this game yet but I’m starting to get a little nervous about Jefferson - I know he’s got a fair amount of physical development needed to play a key forward role but he really seems to struggle to have any meaningful impact atm You would love to think we would have a few guys really knocking on the door for promotion given the AFL teams performance but apart from Tomlinson the cupboard seems a little bare

Narrm aren’t much chop I’m afraid

Are you sure you shouldn’t go home ??

He was very very ordinary tonight against an undersized swans team

Well, I'd like to think they have plenty of motivation to perform well without this prod but I do hope it stings them a little bit Great chance to make a statement - I haven't forgotten last years performance vs Flogmantle love the tables to be turned.

Gee I do hope you are wrong - I do agree that the next few weeks will be telling in terms of getting a read on where we sit amongst the contenders.

No it’s not yours You don’t even get a say in what your team is called these days You don’t get consulted before your club board makes public statements about issues that are unrelated to football You are useful only for your membership $ Rant over

How is that relevant now that he has returned from injury and not performing I just don’t think you can promote a guy who is struggling to impact at VFL level If he kicks a few goals and puts some serious pressure on the opposition backs when he hasn’t got the ball now that’s a different situation - unfortunately that isn’t happening

Well you’re not alone there

If Hunter goes (which he shouldn’t) I’d put McVee on the wing he was far from our worst last night

Struggles to get a kick at Casey but I guess it must be easier at AFL level Not sure why people seem desperate to promote a player that isn’t in form and seems incapable of making a contest and chase when not in possession Plenty looked slow last night and you want to add potentially our most immobile player - struggle to see the merit in this

Not ready imo

Pretty pathetic that he gets fined for demonstrating a bit of personality and humor. AFL - talk about the fun police!

Huge blow this one as he is without doubt a crucial player in our structure

Geez I'm now kind of relieved my betting account has only 15 cents left 😀

funny show - unfortunately wouldn't be allowed these days

Is this a real person or someone they hope to recruit in the mid-season draft

Fair enough - I was not criticising Hunter simply saying which position I would target if I was JJ - which I'm not As you correctly highlight other positions on the field are a low probability for him to get a regular spot in the absence of injuries

For me JJ's best chance is to somehow push Hunter out and play wing - I'm not being critical of Hunter but if I'm JJ that's the spot I'd be looking to take
