Essendon to go 0-3 ? Of course they could have been 0-4.

or perhaps Bonner

He won't go this year for the reasons you mention. If however they find the right up and comer I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Hinkley type transition next year. This will keep the payment level down while allowing the new coach a degree of input

Transparency and the VFL are words rarely seen in the one sentence

No Roy George? Would have been interesting to see him against North

Agree but it was always a bridge too far to bring him straight back to AFL level before a 3-5 game stint in the VFL. Laurie was the logical inclusion.

Marty Hore played for Casey yesterday after breaking his hand around four weeks ago IIRC. All are different though

With the cumulative injuries and Pickett's suspension it will be a tough game to win. Personally I'll be happy if some of our players find form. I think Goodwin made a mistake not blooding Jefferson and experimenting with the gameplan in the last 6 matches of 2024. Many argued that we were still a chance of playing finals but most knew the season was shot. Liked the Casey gameplan even though they could not execute. It is the future

But what I want to know is... Are we in the window !!!

Could be a long season

Well who would have thought it.... Now let's get this season on track

Missed the last quarter but it was mainly play on and fumble for the first three quarters. A pleasant change from hugging the boundary line. Let's see how it develops as the season goes on

Casey with its wind is not a great ground for practicing goal kicking. That said the wind doesn't look too bad today on the broadcast

Would have been interesting to see Roy George today Langford goals from 40

Fullerton.. a nice mark on the lead... 30 metres out directly in front GOAL

Other than the Yze miss the shots were from around 45 metres including some blazing on the run. Fullerton's two misses were from perhaps 35 on a 45 degree angle. Percentage wise you could expect at least another 3-4 goals

And North take the lead... Some good play by Casey between the arcs but the forward play................ PS... We got one !!

Casey open the second quarter with a set shot and.... a behind

Yze.. strong mark and hits the post from ten metres on an angle

Casey 2 goals 8 Probably should be 5:5 Bonner getting a lot of the ball

Another mark to Fullerton and a miss

Fullerton with two strong marks in the forward line but misses both. Casey doing well except up forward. Blazing away

Tis the sun no good for TV You would have thought that on a greenfields site they might have got the alignment right but no.. they couldn't even get the grass to grow

Well.... that's accurate kicking to say the least

A perfect day tomorrow for afternoon football at the empty MCG and we will be under the lights of a closed roof
