Yeah but we'll make a decent amount from the away gate takings I suspect we need it

Mercy rule time Casey definitely needs a rethink as to strategic goals etc I don't mind losing but are they gaining anything skill wise

Karma strikes

Getting killed out the back

A ruckman would be useful

he's hiding in the grass

Dare we expect more

Amazing that they could match the Eagles offer.

Sounds about right Langdon was traded from Freo for a mid second rounder and a future second but he was five odd years younger

We'll be lucky to match that. Adelaide will play hardball in the extreme unless Port get involved. Ironic given that if the move was in reverse (Adelaide to Melbourne) you'd probably have about six clubs after him. We could of course pay a large chunk of his salary and "buy" a higher pick. Not a completely dumb idea

GWS v Dogs and Freo v Port/GWS are the real shapers Carlton could easily replace the Dogs and GWS could miss if they lose to Freo and the Dogs Similarly Freo are vulnerable Of course if Carlton lose to the Eagles this weekend the 8 is fixed other than its order

Eagles at $1M per year if he goes anywhere is my guess

We traded LJ for two pick 13's. Luck saw Freo drop and the subsequent year's pick was 7. He was pick 3 and was at the time of trading clearly the best of his draft year. Freo offered a record contract. Yep we didn't do well in that trade if measured at the time of trading Looking at it three years later it looks better but would (could) he have made a difference in 2023?

We leak all over the ground

The ease with which they move the ball is worrying to say the least. That last minute was diabolical

We have zero structure

Oh well Cats to go top 4 Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Goal for goal slugfest Come on Freo

Come on Freo Win and top 5 are interstate teams !!

GWS please Just makes it that little bit harder for Geelong to go top 4 and of course if they lose to Freo it's almost a certain lockout of the top 4 by interstate sides.

Lovely weather this weekend in Melbourne. Perfect days for the young ones to show their wares and we have a VFL bye. Love this competition

They heard you

My perverse interest is in a fully interstate top 4. If this happens at most there are only two finals in Melbourne (first week) and the GF. Am I being unfair

the question to ask is how are we going to turn Casey into a decent development environment. For numerous reasons it has become almost dysfunctional.. often no ruck or midfield (besides White), a ground that is simply too windy with nothing done in thirty years to plant windbreaks, assuming Schache BBB Tomlinson go and Jefferson moves to AFL level zero KPP's left

Fritsch, Rivers, Oliver.... Hell some are in a counter universe
