Getting to the point where this is now more than a distraction. Anyway if he goes I want a player and a top 5 draft pick. If Freo I'd be demanding Darcy assuming Brayshaw is off limits. If it's the Eagles I want them to facilitate the transfer of Jason Horne Francis from North. If LJ commands the biggest contract ever we should also be demanding sky high compo

Pre covid the Casey players rarely trained with the AFL listed players even those who were not vying for senior selection. It makes sense in that AFL players are full time and train during the work day as compared to VFL players who have outside full time jobs

Good point. While they weren't 60 point losses our three losses involved turnarounds of 50-60 points. Hopefully we are through that patch

8 games left Win four and we are 15 wins which normally gets you 4-6 Win 5 and we would be unlucky not to be top 4 Win 6 it's second or third Win 7 and we should end on top Going to be a wild ride Wins against Adelaide and Geelong would be a great start and of course there's Port in the Red Centre

Good idea but too much resistance given that you are upsetting two clubs

Probably too late to merge North with the Suns but it could be worth doing the sums. No one has an appetite for 19 teams unless we move to an 18 round season. With say three split weekends you would end up with a 21 week season so really not that much different to now. I suppose there are so many clubs hooked on blockbusters it might not work

JKH and Stretch used to regularly have 30 possessions in the VFL but they couldn't deliver at the next level. A lot of those possessions were in close handballs. To my eyes VFL is slower which means it's more prone to packs and there is far less breaking of the lines. Rivers was strangely down yesterday and didn't see much of the ball. I'd like to see him on a wing or similar for a half or so. I suppose it's hard to get excited about M Brown kicking a bag as it has little upside. A little surprised to see Melksham in the best players. Game was okay but.... And why did Dunstan see so little of the ball. All round a strange game

Chandler had a great third quarter but was only serviceable for a lot of the rest of the game. Agree for such a massive win there was not much to excite

Okay From an MFC perspective (other than a draw) what is the preferred result of the Kitty Fight

That top 4/5 is looking very crowded. Take a wrong step and you could quickly drop to fifth. Ruing that loss to the Pies

Rivers has a lazy shot out of defence to two Suns players resulting in a snap goal to the Suns

Wouldn't mind an occasional entry into the corridor by Casey

Would like to see Rivers play on the wing at Casey

Brown with 6 goals

No one really standing out Baker getting a fair amount but just going albeit at a fair level

Rivers just called so he's there No emergency required as we have already played

Mitch Brown 5 straight behinds AND now he kicks a goal on the run

Click on the settings wheel and drop the resolution to 540p Still very watchable but the stream should be steadier

A lovely looking ground. Is that their training facility. Wonder if they hit the BMX jumps after training

I wonder why. Can understand the Telstra control over streaming rights but that applies to the AFL comp. You can't even download the AFL app onto an Nvidia Shield. Good to have the VFL televised but being tied to a laptop/phone is a pain

Looking at it with my red and blue shaded glasses Bulldogs (simply to keep them in the hunt so they can do damage) West Coast (LJ) Freo (positions 1 and 2 are much the same and this will take the Blues out of the hunt for those spots) Geelong v Tigers (draw please) Saints North ( but Crows will win) GWS ( who could barrack for the Pies unless you had to) Port v Suns (neutral) Assuming we keep our winning mojo it will be interesting to see which Victorian team snatches fourth

Strange fixture I wonder why we are not playing the Lions somewhere Next week we play Port at Casey (no Burra burgers this year)

mmmm well if loading caused the Collingwood loss we may need to rethink the process. There's a balance and we missed it Why would you load the whole team at once for example I can understand tapering etc but why would you load against Freo and Sydney. Had we won those 3 we could now load and manage to our hearts desire

Time to play smart and think of this as two games. Adelaide and Geelong Rest Petracca perhaps. Bowey? I do think we wasted an opportunity with the North and Eagles game to strategically manage players

Dare I say We've got this!!!!!!!!!!!
