Because the coach has drilled into them... boundary line first especially on the other team's half of the ground

The gameplan almost cost us the game despite Carlton rarely using the corridor. Handballs along the boundary line mean you're going slowly the long way round. We know it won't win us a flag and will fail against Richmond, Swans and Pies. Probably Geelong as well. It's not just about forward play but our defence pushes up prepared to leave attackers goal side. Looks good if the opposition are doing dump kicks from our forward line but if they can release the overlap we fail and the opposition can score easily. Too late to change the plan but I'm hoping for some strong centre clearances a la bang bang bang to take us home. Let's win next week and then see what the fresh September grass can deliver

One poster suggested covid but it was not confirmed. Moniz Wakefield was also out but that apparently was due to a groin strain or similar IIRC

Conditions at Casey were not great and we played a boundary line game mainly. Smith didn't do enough. Weideman contested very well and Bowey was solid (kicked his first VFL goal). Chandler and Bedford didn't play. Bowey for Spargo is a possibility Harmes was a solid contributor with lots of possessions without starring

Can't see a result that favours us greatly but for the purpose of keeping top 2 possible....Go Swans Eagles fading in last night's game against Freo did us no favours

Excellent team goal to Steel

Definitely missing... Chandler Bedford and AMW.. on a day such as this

Gameplan...

Game plan Goody !!!

Learnings

Have not got vision what was our kick out strategy with 50 seconds on the clock ?

well well there's life in the corpse

And so we start to witness the end of a season that started with such promise

Didn't even get out to our customary 26 point failure mark this half

Anyone else for a game on a damp cold Saturday night in August

and people said the Blues weren't that good what has happened to this team in the last ten weeks

Well dominating the inside 50's and getting nothing will always be rewarded

Has the game started yet or are we still warming up

Perhaps Max needs a change of boot

Here's the rules in 2016 Other than the references to the Development league I doubt that they have changed much https://websites.mygameday.app/assoc_page.cgi?c=1-118-0-0-0&sID=277333

strange.. perhaps they are unloading

was about to ask the same thing

So you think Pies are hiding him from the rest of the season (no VFL even) so they can sandbag us on a deal. I love a conspiracy theory

Hard to get excited about the game.The team is firing on four cylinders out of 6 at best. If we win tonight which we should it all comes down to a 50/50 Brisbane game. The Pies loss last week with our dominance inside 50 shows we are simply not clicking
