CASEY: RD 8 vs Southport
So much lateral movement by Casey. Problem is they leave plenty of time for Southport to get back

CASEY: RD 8 vs Southport
Southport are playing a loose and fast game which should favour Casey if they can get their skill levels up

Woeful kicking for goal

CASEY: RD 8 vs Southport
Good to see We actually have too many tall forwards at Casey (unfortunately) Pies VFL team playing at Vic Park this morning... nice venue for fans

Does the man mountain still ruck for the Sharks? Expecting a slog in the wet but at least not much wind

Kayo is 4K in 2024
Kayo standard price to increase by $5 per month from 1 June. This will bring the price to $30 per month. Kayo hasn't published its breakdown between premium and standard subscribers but it will add millions to the bottom line. If and when they add $5pm to the premium level that will be around $100M per year extra revenue https://eftm.com/2025/05/price-rise-kayo-standard-jumps-to-30-from-june-dazn-cashing-in-on-their-best-new-asset-262777

Time to go Goody?
Agree but we never experimented with a Plan B at either VFL level or in games where we were dominant. We then slipped into a dour uninteresting brand that increasingly put a toll on both fans and players. Fans looked for a glimpse of that GF play but were just met with the python squeezing its prey. It was better than Ross Lyon's ultra defensive style but everyone knew that it was just time until the blitzkreig style of another team overran our high defensive model.

NON-MFC: Round 10
May take an interest. Need a second team with no emotional downside if they win. GWS v Suns would be a GF for the more cerebral fan.

CASEY: RD 8 vs Southport
But why at Casey which means that the four travelling emergencies won't see a game. Will be interesting to see if Billings plays. Not sure what his plans are post AFL but a mid season retirement might be on the cards.

We're Not Dead Yet - The 2025 Season
Love the enthusiasm but in simple terms you need 14 wins plus percentage to make the final eight. That means we can only lose three more games and to increase percentage we will need three wins by more than 50 points. Not seeing it.

Judd McVee contract
Thought the same but I don't mind it as he's backing himself to take a step up into bigger dollars on his contract after this one. Unfortunately my guess is that it won't be with us.

NON-MFC: Round 09
Enjoyable game to watch. I keep expecting Reid to take the game apart but he's just a player.

PREGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
2025 is all about laying the groundwork for 2026. Post 2026 Gawn will be getting slower and May and TMac plus Melksham will be gone. It seems that most like the gameplan but it requires refinement plus a few more easy avenues to goal. Realistically 2026 is the last chance for a while. Time to move some pieces on the chess board and see what we have. Let's not run Max into the ground for a middling end to 2025. From Casey I'd look at Bonner for the mid season draft. He's a link player which is the type you need for the modern game. Sestan and Adams are worthy of a look but other than K Brown who is not setting the world alight at Casey I'm not seeing much talent at Casey. Our AFL players often rank behind the Casey listed players which is not a great sign. I'd be rotating our first and second year talent so they get a rest say one week in four. Laurie can fill in and be given one last chance. Perhaps use the sub position to manage game time for May and Gawn. I can't think of one instance this year where our sub has impacted using the traditional "quick" player. Might also be wise to manage Tracc into 2026. That injury was horrific and he's obviously not the same player. As the song says.... Gimme Hope Joanna (aka Goody)

PREGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Time to manage May and Gawn. Melksham is not the future. Unless there is a gameplan reason time to try someone else. Foward line solution... Like the coach I have no idea

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Season over for all practical purposes. Only thing keeping my interest is denying Essendon a high draft pick. Continual injuries haven't helped but there's little joy to be had this year
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
You have to score to win Same problem as in previous years ... inaccuracy and insufficient forward presence
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
May as well take a few risks and go for it. Losing by one or two goals is simply face saving
