He didn’t look great is this confirmed?

Lalor looks a talent - just 8 disposals though ?

I don’t think so and he looked rather p155ed off Strange decision imo and there would be a could I would have given a rest before him

If Butters played for us we win tonight even with a mostly disfunctional forward line We need skilled mids that can hit targets and be creative with the ball in hand - right now we don’t have any

Another very stark example as to why we desperately need to get into this draft and find some quality mids that can actually dispose effectively The contrast between Butters and JHF and what we dished up skills wise was light years apart Endeavour great but skills are deplorable

Yes that last little bit seems to be missing 😂

Wish we were that average 🤔

Fair points but there isn’t a problem for finding him a list spot as I expect a number of older players to be taken out of the list at seasons end - if we don’t see a pretty big refresh of this list we are in for an extended period of mediocrity imo He has not shown much that is true - but he is a very young tall and we all know they take time - he has shown enough imo to warrant at least another season to deliver something He may show more at training that the FD sees as potential - as usual I trust their judgement to make the right calls on players - having said that my faith has been sorely tested recently with some highly questionable trade decisions

Start panicking they look bereft of confidence and system

Like so many so called journalists Cornes see the game through his 20/20 hindsight lens It’s rather predictable and boring 🥱

Interesting that you don’t think quality talls is an area we need more depth in - it’s certainly high on my list of wants for this list

Good advice - I’ll swap Trump for Albo though if that’s ok as I’m used to him making zero sense

Fine mate if you like reading the same stuff over and over that’s great Btw my last post was more about defending the unnecessary bagging of H Petty

Yes I know 😀

I’m not sad nor am I surprised 😳

I like the fact we all have different opinions and challenge things - but it just gets a little tedious tbh when someone continues to endlessly and frankly pointlessly keep posting the same thing. Good for you that you think he is ready - personally I don't but acknowledge that when the season is 100% dead in terms of finals then maybe he is given a taste. That way he can realize first-hand just how much work he has to do to play football in the AFL I'm not being critical of the young man and genuinely hope he has a great career but having watched him in a lot of Casey games he is still a long way off - just my opinion!

Just curious to know if you will bag him just like you are bagging Petty when Matthew finally gets a chance and gets 2 possessions and zero goals? Not saying that will definitely happen but there's a fair chance and I'd hope that you then acknowledge that he has a long way to go, and your constant nauseating carry on for him to be selected was a bit premature

Cannot see them beating swans in Sydney or Brisbane in Melb Both have to keep winning to ensure home final - big big incentive Granted Sydney have a hole to climb out of atm but they are too good not to bounce back at home imo

Actually I know inaccuracies have cost us games before but Fritta, JVR and Dan Turner all have pretty good goal kicking routines

This game is likely to be a dead rubber - strange that the AFL would allocate prime time for that !

Being a bit of a tragic I try and watch most Casey games either live or on replay His kicking technique needs work because imo he often gets too close to the man on the mark and as a result he is forced to kick the ball higher than he needs to. This means his kicks are more susceptible to being pushed offline due to any wind and they can lack penetration and fall shorter than would otherwise be the case I am not saying I’m an expert but I also think his ball drop looks a bit high which also may result in less consistent contact He isn’t terrible and I really think it’s a matter of making some small adjustments to get better results

Great player and career hard not to respect what Dusty achieved on the field Hopefully he finds life after footy rewarding as he is coming off a pretty high base Always thought he would follow Dimma north but it appears not

I’m not sure he deserves a promotion yet but to be fair he is more physically ready than Jack Watts Atleast he has spent two seasons playing against seasoned bodies in the VFL If he does get a chance this season it would be wise to temper expectations regarding his output imo

Hardly a compelling case for promotion then - but I’m sure the FD will determine the right time for Matthew It might be this season or it might not If it’s the latter I just hope PF can keep atleast one or two toys in the pram

His stats might be a bit better if not for his poor technique and execution when kicking for goal - lots of OOTFs and not making the distance efforts I suspect This is an area of his game that needs a lot of work - that and his second efforts which to be fair seem to be improving slightly
