  1. mmmmmm not how I wanted this game to go
  2. Don't you hate an arm wrestle
  3. Absolute dominance that quarter Well done
  4. Game slipping away but effort has been there
  5. Thanks guys.. good reward for all the effort this quarter Let's keep it up
  6. We definitely seem to be playing a fast get it forward game at Casey. I don't mind it as a development game as it's sink or swim if you have the skills. How you build in that last kick into 50 is a challenge with this style particularly if the side is bereft of fast moving/small forwards. At least you can see the germ of an idea. I prefer it to the long kick boundary game of previous years as far as skill development goes
  7. Inability to get clean possession inside 50 hasn't helped. Sandringham much better going inside 50
  8. Hunter... well let's see how he goes
  9. Dan Butler.... wasn't he the hottest property in AFL pre pandemic
  10. Long time since I can recall a time clash with the AFL game. Many have been close but basically one half and then the AFL game starts... Strange timing... Even a 12:45pm start would have avoided a clash
  11. Go the Orange Men
  12. They are not as bad as they play methinks. Tigers keeping them "honest" so to speak Won't make the HR mistake they made last year
  13. An extra team does nothing to help the number of TV games. Additional viewers in Tasmania would be few. Twentieth team... come on down
  14. Have the leaves finished falling yet at GP? Many thanks PS Out of interest does the oval suffer from dog droppings or is someone on pre training pooper scooper duty
  15. Plays for a little country town in the Central Vic wheat belt... Tyntynder. Last year he played for Bacchus Marsh after moving over from WA where he played for Peel Thunder. (He has been around)
  16. Is he on the Casey list... I don't think so If not there are rules as to when he can be used. (Not sure if he meets the 23rd player rule as I think that has an age limit)
  17. Definitely worth a thought. I can also see Kozzie racing from the 75 metre mark in to assist leaving the backman in his wake. Tactically though can you kill this set up by positioning a Lever type player at 50 who will just close down the forward kick. We could trial it at Casey. Last week we often had zero forwards when we got a rebound as they had all pushed up the ground
  18. Seems that no one likes Docklands (Beware the flip side is we will go there more often) Three of Marvel Stadium’s tenant clubs – Essendon, Carlton and St Kilda – have asked the AFL to reduce their number of games at the stadium that is wholly owned by the league. Essendon are asking that the Bombers’ long-standing split of seven games at Docklands and four at the MCG be changed to six and five in favour of the MCG. The Bombers have been the anchor tenant since the ground’s inception. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/grounds-for-complaint-why-dons-blues-and-saints-want-fewer-marvel-games-20240523-p5jfz7.html Interesting to see that the Pies are looking to sell their game at Marvel against GCS
  19. Hunter.. very strange selection
  20. It's a long season. AFL have finally got their wish of a relatively even competition. Luck, injuries, weather, travel breaks between games, fixture and umpiring have now become major competition deciders. In the past my interest went up a notch post mid season bye. Before then I looked for trends. From that perspective it's not encouraging at present but still a way to go. A win over the Pies would be nice
