GWS playing the boundary which is making it easier for Casey

My apologies to the special comments lady. This half they seem to have adjusted the audio and the gender is obvious to my old ears. Great commentary today

Much better quarter by Laurie Jefferson went quiet but JVR came into it. A reversal of the first quarter. (Could be they are interchanging but not clear)

Brilliant centre clearance and goal Casey getting it together

is he playing back today in the Bowey role?

Better by Jordon then

While Jordon had a lot of it other than his kick which was marked in a pack by Jefferson he hasn't been damaging. Forward entries as the quarter went on just got worse. Looking forward to some better system in the second quarter. Schache took a great juggling mark that went unpaid

The young guy doing special comments is rather good

Bowey forward is an interesting discussion. I would have liked to see him in that role during his few weeks at Casey with Laurie playing Bowey's role

That didn't last long

Crows v Roos closer than one thought nearing half time

Has always been their weakness. They had hoped Darcy would make it down there but he's been more out than in the team this year

The stadium at Carrara only has a capacity of 22.5k. Good that it's sold out against the Pies but you would think that after 15 years in the comp they could draw a decent crowd more frequently In theory they have a membership of 22k but then again GWS have a membership of 32k. Phantom members perhaps?

Fireworks.. love it... Do they still have no speed limit areas in NT?

If we're giving JVR a "rest" why is he named for Casey at full forward? "My kingdom for a functioning forward line"

Burra is one of my favourite country towns. Incredible history. For a relatively short while it was the largest tin producer in the world.

a draw would be nice

Loading of course !

there's some big games there from the MFC top 4 perspective Pies and Port to win hopefully and Essendon to lose Dogs v Freo (not sure)

They get a % of turnover. This does not appear to be included in the report. Ad revenue goes mainly to the broadcasters so in the first instance it's their problem. Not sure if the betting agencies sponsor any clubs. It's an insidious relationship that should never have been allowed to grow to that which it is today.

how was the drive best steak sandwich report etc

RG the day is predicted to be dry on Sunday but a fair bit of rain on the 3 preceding days. What's the drainage like

As you say if we had experienced key fowards this would be a worthwhile idea. Not every week but say one in three.

A good list but another question is can you see any of these players going into the top 5 during their careers. Perhaps JVR but the rest have a ceiling. Rivers has upside but I'm not sure how much. Watched a half of the Freo game against Essendon and yes......Jacko is very good

Perhaps he was busy getting Taylor Swift tickets for everybody
