Harmes or JJ Harmes tried to do a Viney and break tackles when playing for Casey on the weekend. It worked for him a few weeks back but was not great on Saturday against North

the resting time was North, Eagles and Hawthorn... not one unforced change. We even took Gawn to WA while injured so he could sit in the box. Okay I know nothing about high performance management but we seem to take the same approach. Winter is coming as they said............

Richmond coach Damien Hardwick, the man who guided the Tigers out of the wilderness to win three premierships in four years, is set to quit, The Age has confirmed. The Tigers will hold a press conference on Tuesday to make the announcement, which will be effective immediately. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/damien-hardwick-to-depart-tigers-20230522-p5daf0.html

Three time premiership coach. Pioneered a style of game we called chaos ball. Deserves respect. Has left Richmond as a stronger club than when he started.

he got every chance in 2022. If he had come on we might have had a different outcome. Good luck to him at the Bombers but his time with us was up. Jesse Hogan on the other hand...

Did something happen in GWS' game Second quarter showing 37 minutes on AFL site

they'll trade with Hawthorn/North for a first and second. Would you want to play for North though?

2-4 coming up is my guess.....based on it's Melbourne

There's a lot in that. AFL has a greater degree of speed and therefore openness compared to VFL. A lot more scrums. I wouldn't mind seeing a few rounds with 16 players on the ground just to open play up a bit. Not helped by Casey playing one boundary line 70% of the time

it's positional people Tomlinson played well but for whom? BBB plays the JVR position Shache plays the T mac position Joel Smith ?? Deakyn Smith for whom ?? Bailey Laurie for whom? The questions go on but it's not easy

There must be a few potential high draft picks dreading being selected by North

Oh North........... fold now

I'd be prepared to replace JVR and TMac with BBB and Schache on that game (Perhaps)

Adelaide didn't come to play

Casey scrambling North dominating 15

BBB seals it First good kick into 50

Casey stopped Terrible forward entries not great

North doing all the running this quarter only 21 points down

Okay but not smashing it Schache showing a little

Brown needs a strong last quarter Has been thereabouts but not quite right. Same for the other contending forwards. Tomlinson almost suffered leather poisoning that quarter

Cunnington Bear ???

Schache putting his hand up (maybe) Joel Smith .. is he on the bench?

Exchange of goals... both from technical free kicks Casey by 29 Tomlinson having a purple patch

Dogs crowds are usually around our numbers.. perhaps 20% less Only 5k seats at Ballarat so it's not difficult to fill They would have had 17-20k at Docklands for this game
