  1. Well done Dees..... flying back to Oz next week and will be coming to the MCG to watch the GWS game with my fellow Dees supporters. Let's go into this final series with momentum and belief. Go Dees
  2. is it safe to turn on the radio now ?
  3. Not again.....
  4. Sam's usually a pretty good kick for goal at VFL level. Needs to get a few and get over the nerves.
  5. I'd prefer 8 but I know where you're coming from. A stress free last quarter is such a wonderful thing
  6. 7 inside 50's to two and not really much to show for the effort
  7. Thanks I'll catch up with the replay. Not exactly party central where I am.
  8. Some people forget that there really is no such thing as the Casey team as one usually thinks of it. There are three groups.... The AFL listed players.... The regular Casey listed players... the fringe Casey players. Rarely do these three groups train together, they do completely different pre seasons and of course groups 2 and 3 have fulltime jobs or education commitments. As the AFL player numbers decrease the more one gets from group 3. It was a wonderful credit to Freeman ( a group 3 player) to be named amongst the best.
  9. For the third week in a row Asia misses out on watching the Dees. Instead we have the big ones.
  10. ☝️☝️☝️ Wow .... that is almost poetry.......... Can see it in my mind
  11. a lot happier than our mate Goodwin... but I get what you are saying
  12. Yes Virginia .... there may well be Saints in Heaven..... the next 20 minutes may tell
  13. Repeat after me..... We are not allowed to have good things !!
  14. Scores level .... nah it can't happen.... can it ???
  15. yep... the scenes of them holding down the commentary tent were classic as was their commentary under what were very difficult conditions. I increasingly find myself turning the channel7 AFL commentary down
  16. wonderful win by Winx... in a good field and a strong wind
  17. Bit warmer where I'm watching from. Imagine if the game was at Casey. The Box Hill area is not that windy except the ground is exposed on the Middleborough road side. I am starting to favour 16 a side at VFL level for a year or so. May open it up and improve the talent base. The games have become very scrappy in recent years. Jeffy almost unseen so far.
  18. This is why the ruck position is dying.
  19. This 6-6-6 business which I freely admit I have no idea about could suit Garlett.
  20. The Melksham "non block"springs to mind as something that should have been questioned but as usual nothing. A bit like hanging Oliver out to dry last year when the umpires continuously called him for throwing the ball. In so many areas we are irrelevant. Where for example is our view on the priority picks. As the team most recently denied such a pick our public stance is very relevant...but nothing.
  21. no...it makes them a lot easier to hand out and we are the losers. No way would they give round 1 picks but top of round 2... just watch this space
  22. Looks like we are all being softened up for the priority pick that is not a priority pick. Given the MFC has no round 1 pick this is extremely important to us
  23. now that is a juxtaposition of themes... do they serve rum on board ? I have just been reliving some of my train trips across India.... definitely no rum ! Richmond 24..bombers 15... Tiges on top ... Bombers getting some favourable umpire interpretations
  24. spin it as you like... five changes = instability in anyone's books
