So we could be playing Brisbane in the VFL prelim

Didn't know that the cap for stand alone teams was so low. Goes a way to explain why they aren't the force in Victoria they once were. I assume Southport Sharks have less competition for local talent

Bedford had a "nearly" spectacular game A bounce here, a few more inches there and we would be singing his praises. Aussie Rules can be a tough game Don't think our boundary line game favours his style. Needs more room to use his speed to run onto the ball

South Port Sharks have an old style man mountain as their ruckman. Will be interesting to see Weideman up against him if the teams meet in the GF

Needs to impose a little more around the ground Rucking alone is not enough in the AFL

Great play by Chandler

Strange team Casey 50 point win but once again no one really starring in a pushing for selection sense

Oh Bedford !!

Love Mitch Brown but.... I would like a mark or two from TMac or Smith

JVR !!!!

Clutch reply by Dunstan Mc Donald looking a little lost... perhaps the game is too crowded for his style

Not a great start

Too slow on the transition from defence and way too many high dump kicks into the forward line. Add in bad inaccuracy (Swans have also missed some easy ones) Have we had a switch of play all day

Way too much handball

Another miss (JVR)

Terrible handball by Smith to Bedford Smith was free while Bedford had two on him.Should have waited until the players came off Bedford and onto him before releasing the handball

Probably should have been another two goals up. Lucky goal to TMac after the strange ruck infringement

Looking forward to reports 7plus has blocked my VPN and it doesn't seem to be on the AFL site

You mean Kev has been hijacking closed training sessions ?

IF we win the big one will it be cheese boards and hipster food trucks at Gosch's or can we talk the MCC in to letting us into our home ground.

BBO sounds like you may not have visited our palace of pain at Casey Fields. Bar = shed selling cans They only open the shed on the far wing on big days

Other than Dunstan there's no genuine mid from the MFC playing at Casey not to mention a ruckmen. Given the age and quality of the MFC senior midfield one can understand this but it's only a few years ago that most on this Board used to say you can't go wrong drafting a mid fielder

If Collingwood can do this deal for $300k and get back a late first rounder .......... speechless 300k is the price of a player bordering on the lower end of a clubs bottom 6 of best 22 I assume the Magpie forums are full of how Brodie will do the right thing for the club and go where the Pies can get the best deal

One can see the argument both ways for the one v two year contract. At a salary cap planning level it makes sense in that you try to avoid having too many outliers in your plan. If we give him one year and he plays say 14 decent games at senior level his value in year 2 goes up a lot. Similarly he's out of contract and open to other offers. It's a gamble but it makes sense. For his sake two years injury free would be wonderful

It's an AFL training team so I think MFC players are safe The problem is usually the other way in that when the AFL team ceases to play many of the MFC players are retired for the season
