  1. Pies by 30 plus unless they kick inaccurately and we do the reverse.
  2. GB may have his Brownlow invite cancelled not to mention his lifetime Disney pass
  3. Not the most impressive start from the Matildas.... was looking forward to a little dynamite and it was a quiet fizzer. Early days and let's hope they can find form... reminded me of the MFC game plan not to mention Ange's... push forward and bugger the counter attack.
  4. the famous case is about catching the ferry from Circular Quay. There's another one about a spectator that enters a tourist mine and then wants to turn around without paying.... (They're the false imprisonment cases) For this one we have the "ticket cases" perhaps of which there are many... Is not calling the umpire a %^&&^ a condition of entry and has it been made clear before entry. Finally we have the issue of whether he was restrained or was it volountary.... I sense a new question on the law exams at our local Unis ?
  5. A lovely day at Casey beginning with a hot egg and bacon roll after joining a very long gate queue filled with Magpie supporters. Very little red and blue by comparison to the ubiquitous jail stripes. Luckily the score board kept the Pies supporters very quiet. A stiff breeze across the ground made precision football difficult. I think Casey could have won by 100 points without the wind such was the dominance. I'm afraid the numbers stumped me from a player reporting viewpoint but I was impressed with KK's first half. Definitely something there. Preuss marked and rucked strongly and could perhaps have had a couple more goals. Hard to judge the result as the Pies were in the main woeful... which was of course pleasant in itself. Looking forward to the next day out with Casey.. but hell it was getting cold at the end !!
  6. Brrrrrrr Getting cold here as the sun goes down. A goal to the demons to warm the heart
  7. In the quarter time address the key word on the board was space. There certainly was a lot of it in our forward line at times Like the physical make up of kk. Nice size and build
  8. Very strong breeze across the ground favouring the end Casey are kicking to this quarter. Pies have picked up their game
  9. At least Casey should make a few dollars
  10. Crowd wise like a Collingwood home game Very uncomfortable on the Berwick hill where there is generally only around twenty people
  11. Hi can someone explain what's happening with the Casey numbers? Are the numbers listed in the OP those that will be worn tomorrow? Many thanks
  12. The Age is reporting that the ejected patron claimed that he called the umpire "a bald headed [censored]" PS : How is the alternative word for whip... censored... obviously I live a sheltered life clue.. it is the verb for a flogging
  13. Looking forward to sitting on the Berwick Hill tomorrow and enjoying a bacon and egg roll (provided they are not sold out pre game like last time!!). Is Bradtke really playing ??
  14. My pick is Stretch as the hold over emergency so the Casey team will be a good one. Pity that Omac is not there.
  15. Must have missed it.
  16. the stadium the AFL purchased for negative equity ??
  17. Powerful sentiments Little Goffy.... but damningly accurate:
  18. I thought you were joking but just saw the article.... unbelievable
  19. watched 15 minutes of the Carlton v Brisbane game... as well as being poor standard impossible to see due to sunlight and shade. Off to clean up the shed instead.
  20. Geelong are lucky enough to have senior players who contribute significantly week in week out. They have four or five players who are plus 28 who feature in their top 15 each week. Remind me in that sense of North with Harvey and the Saints withe Riewoldt, Montagna and Milne. They have also lucked into youth in the form of Kelly etc. Hell..... I'm jealous
  21. 'Tracca..... if you don't get it I have to wonder where you have been for the last fifty years. There is no room for what happened to Goodes. It is an event albeit small in comparison to the events of the last two hundred years that should make us all stop and reflect. Sure there may be room for discussion about what changes should flow but definitely there should be change..
  22. I have nothing to go on but perhaps Gill may get a gentle push in the next year. While the financial KPI's are good there has been some stuff ups that haven't' done the "brand" much good. If I was a club chairman I would want to know why we weren't onto this concern some years back. The apology now runs hollow as LH says. The turning point if not before may be the next round of TV rights negotiations. It may not be pretty.
  23. you have it in one MR or should I say three
  24. yep at least four men attacking the ball carrier and of course when we have the ball our players run away, refuse to shepherd and then the ball carrier fluffs the handball or handballs to the player one metre away who gets closed down. PS.. it did work against GWS and the Hawks last year I must admit.
  25. Would like to think you are right but I think that Goddwin will believe that with his three "ins" in the backline that his chaos game will get them through. It may well but as we all know it's not a sustainable gameplan over a season.
