We even duplicate the plan at VFL level week in week out. You'd think they might experiment occasionally

Spot on and it took May out of play. Buddy was the decoy dinosaur

Not the greatest weather forecast but a few degrees warmer than last Friday. Heading back to Melbourne in a couple of weeks after four months of 26-32 degrees every day. Looking forward to Melbourne weather lotto

Hard to disagree... The games against North and the Eagles were ripe for squad use even if it only meant resting Gawn. Anyway it's more a subject for post season discussion but I have not been impressed by our VFL team strategy at all

Did not think an aged team like Geelong could do that in the last quarter Well done

You would have to say that on recent last quarter form Pies are well placed

No we are just saying how 3 of the top 4 have a completely different gameplan to ours and their's appears to be succeeding

Amazing how quickly a style of play can fail. We are the new dinosaurs already

Trying to recall when they stopped curtain raisers. Must have been in the early 90's but it escapes me

Not in the 70's and 80's for home and away Kev

Kev curtain raisers were played in a different era Most weeks there were no reserved seats so crowds started to arrive at half time in the reserves to get a good seat. By 3/4 time the crowd was probably at 75%. In Finals it changed dramatically with only the unreserved MCC area having decent crowds pre match. Fast forward to now when the curtain raiser has to finish 30-45 minutes before the AFL match and 70% plus of seats are pre-sold and the game is being played before an empty stadium

Perhaps but they don't help if the delivery and gameplan remain the same. TMac showed nothing last week while playing for Casey except that he got through the match. If playing another tall means that BBB can play in the 50 metre arc rather than on the wing it could be worth it. The reality is that both at AFL level and at Casey we often lack flair

If the AFL team lose this week Casey will lose some MFC players for the GF (assuming they make it) Not sure who but definitely T Mac. Has Weideman qualified? Heaven knows about Bedford and his medi sub role

would be surprised if the Pies beat Geelong Hard to pick who will win in the West.

Friday night looking slightly wet and windy. Should reduce the impact of the Brisbane talls. Can't really see too many changes ... Bowey maybe but there's no messiah at Casey

But he beat Buddy aka The Titanic

Franklin is the Titanic he was never the danger

Not a yelp.. not a goal this quarter !!

coaching... gameplan

To think some were worried about Franklin

What a waste of a season Can the Bears be our bunny three times in a year

Do you think we could try some corridor play for the last 15 minutes Can't do us any harm

This gameplan was never going to cut it against the the other teams in the four hoisted on our own arrogance

well if you're going to play the same pocket kick game against fast rebounding teams what do you expect

Definitely not our night
