Smart move by Collingwood. I bet they get what they want next year

He's a work in progress. He has often played with TMac, BBB and Schache in the forward line so his time upfront has been compromised. Today he was ok without starring. Roscoe the Magpies fullback was very strong after quarter time Hoping for glimpses at VFL level but the earliest I would expect him to challenge for an AFL game is second half of 2024

No one likes a loss but I think there were a few "learnings" from that match. The fringe is still a way off I'm afraid. Schache is unfortunately a bust despite many of us wishing otherwise.

TBH I'm not too upset that Casey is being challenged. The inclusion of older AFL listed players and a strong Casey core has not really developed many younger players over the last ten years. Perhaps we are seeing a changing of the guard. VFL is not just about winning

Umpires practising for tomorrow perhaps but that was a seriously bad quarter by Casey. Did Laurie have a touch. AMZ has shown little this year after a decent season in 2022

Pies hit the front Casey nowhere to be seen

and another to the Pies.......3 points

Jefferson pushed off far too easily in that one on one

Casey miss a few easy ones and then Collingwood goals... Demons need to get some poise

You rarely see the outer Bar open at Casey. Love those Pie supporters (money wise)

and another goal to White

Great to see Jefferson as the main forward. Just the challenge he needs

What was that Kick out straight up the corridor... goal

Zero is my guess in the sense that some content offerer would have packaged up a number of "off beat" sports and wholesaled them. Mongolian wrestling perhaps and of course curling

need to change the gameplan to match our resources. Bomb it high is not the way

As Ted Lasso would say... Well Done Richmond FC !!!

Most of the streaming sites are now obliged by their content providers to run a third party VPN tracker. This tracker updates daily with all the IP addresses for VPN sites. As fast as they add a new IP address at your VPN provider the tracker will find it within a few days. Even ABC iview started running a VPN tracker last year. The new system is to use a program that changes your DNS but it's way too complicated for most of us by comparison to VPN's. Would be much better if Kayo had a stand alone sub for AFL overseas. This would not upset the other content providers to Kayo and would be much better quality than WatchAFL. Of course the mega dollars paid by other streamers overseas (lol) for the AFL rights might be in jepoardy

that's considered a given among the pundits... the question is what pick one is worth. 4 and 7 for example? 4 and a very good player. Have a look at the show Gettable on the AFL site where multiple possibilities are discussed. Strangely enough they say that everyone agrees that the Gold Coast pick is the key to the trades for the number 1 pick. It's beyond me save to say that the eagles cannot be this bad.

o no what a shame Should we offer to split the points

who is the Brown out listed as injured Not BBB I hope

Must say the live ladder is doing my head in with games played by the various teams. Not looking forward to the world of 19 teams.

Like our game and Port's game (quick corridor) both are easily countered in theory. Similarly each style is easily imitated in theory. Where the difficulty arises is does the opponent have the skills to do it once, every now and then or often. Collingwood clearly has our measure on the basis of our traditional game plan. Sure we can beat them but 8 out of 10 times they will win. Port.. I'm not so sure. I think it's closer to 50/50 simply because corridor play as against the Pies angular delivery mode is just that much harder to maintain. Countering the Collingwood and Port styles requires close checking. With 4 umpires it's become more difficult to do this. Sure you can outnumber the opposition at the ball but we all know that such a tactic is a recipe for a loss

Himmelberg, according to at least two clubs contacted by The Scoop, could command as much as $900,000 per season, if he were to leave the Giants. A long-term deal at that price would trigger first-round compensation, meaning GWS could have three first-round picks in the upcoming draft. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/magpies-show-giant-interest-and-what-will-richmond-do-with-a-prized-asset-20230607-p5depm.html

lose on Monday and both Pies and Port are 3 games clear. That's a big break

If you stop striving you go backwards....... Sounds like bath water to me
