  1. Can't say I can remember him playing forward. The "other" Smith and Weid were generally the talls. TBH he was injured so often I'm not sure how many Casey games he played. (from his Wikipedia listing it looks like around 15-20 tops.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Smith_(footballer,_born_1996)
  2. My guess is they are already crunching the numbers on moving out of NSW in the next 24 hours. Much easier to locate everyone in Qld and then if you really want games in Sydney fifo on same day. SA just announced they would not be opening borders to NSW residents next week as previously planned.
  3. Not many players really crunched their game against the Suns but each probably did enough to go round again. Melksham and Lockhart would be the two I would look at but I would be fine if they stayed. Would be looking for a greater contribution from AVB. I thought Brayshaw showed touches of class.... If we are playing Salem on the wing we need a good kick on the backline. Is Rivers as a replacement for Lockhart that person? (I'm not sure.)
  4. in these days of lockdown I think it does. Strangely enough this year the "big" game is probably Thursday night PS... Was anyone not at the Cross Roads hotel? Must be a big pub
  5. Do the teams still fly in and out on the same day?
  6. 5 out of the 9 games are now night games. No matter how bad we are there are enough to go around. Seriously a night time win over the Hawks would be great for our future prospects. The next two against Sydney and GWS will probably be low rating fixtures win lose or draw PS.... I see we got Brisbane in a 6pm Sunday game... at least that's a start
  7. Although the Sydney numbers are small one more week of similar numbers and Qld will slam the gates. (It's an election year up there.)
  8. Given that there are now night games Thursday to Monday inclusive is it too much for our sponsors to expect some night time FTA cover. Another Sunday afternoon game I think against the Hawks... grrrrrr
  9. Heart breaking last lap for Dan....but a good race especially as I have become used to ignoring the usual front runner. (Credit though to his drive in qualifying.)
  10. mathematically without finals he can't make 300. Would prefer to see Sparrow etc trialled. Same unfortunately for Jetta I expect.
  11. Think they may try and take the game on a little more but there is no doubt that they will pack our fifty metre area and then quickly precision kick out. The gameplan needs a scalpel approach to our foward fifty entries rather than the usual sledgehammer. Would be nice to have a 55 metre goal kicker.
  12. Bulldogs are playing an attacking game which leaves space for the other team. Blues won the "Space" race yesterday because they had less fumbles. The Bulldogs could suit our gameplan.
  13. Should have been the original decision. Games will be outside Victoria for the next 8 weeks minimum. Hearing that we might be regularly playing 3 games in each 2 week cycle
  14. I have noticed in some games at certain grounds they are positioning a camera that is close angle but looking down at the play on say a sixty degree angle. It does give you just that little more coverage than the usual close shot. There is nothing more frustrating on TV than seeing a player in the clear prop and then go sideways while at the same time being denied a view of why that decision was made.
  15. 4.0 to 1.4 in that last quarter Where did such luck come from ????
  16. Running under the ball has been a Weid trait for years. Why it has not been coached out of him I don't know
  17. A regulation win on the way just like.... (Hell I can't remember our last regulation win !!!)
  18. Sam .... where have you been !!
  19. I like the forward 50 count 3-0 GCS Shows we're not bombing it in ?
  20. Adelaide season officially over. Will be interesting to see if the Adelaide media and followers give them a pass due to the bubble. Freo and WCE just scraping out of the Qld bubble. If we had not given them the win in Round 1 WC would be on very shaky ground. I can now see them winning the next 4 or 5 in Perth
  21. Agree... the Essendon fiasco has skewed things and probably kept us alive an extra week. Minimal rain in Sydney at present and around 16 degrees. No excuses.
  22. As they used to say... Does not compute... Perhaps less crowd = less security guards = less costs But who knows. Ticket transferring is not allowed as the pre booked seat etc is how they track attendees in case of......you know what
  23. In their defence this season they have been using tighter camera angles to hide the crowd absence. Out of interest why are they sticking the crowd in spots they are rarely seen
