Those calling for Kent to be included: He had a woeful second half of the VFL season he was put up for trade over the off season and no one wanted him even as a fringe player On Friday Casey played Frankston... they are a scratch VFL side like the original Gold Coast Bears... cobbled together from players who were not at the top of their game in other VFL sides... (no disrespect intended to Frankston but that is the reality.) In the previous practice game I cannot remember him setting the ground alight... (could be wrong on this.) Sorry ... not yet from me.

11 kicks ... 24 handballs Needs to reverse that and then he will start getting the accolades he probably deserves from the commentators

Would like to add Goodwin to these wonderful assessments: After two rounds mine is: "Wasting the list" It is obvious we have a decent list but we are simply not realising the potential of so many players. Salem is a good example and Petracca could be so much better just to name two.

It was not too difficult to realise we would slow down in the second half due to the conditions. At the half time break we had a 36 point lead.... Smart coaching says let's take a little heat out of the game and chip it around. Slow possession football mixed with five minute bursts of frenetic attack. Play the game between the opposition half back line and our fifty metre line for ten minutes. We seem to have only one plan and it just doesn't work in all conditions. Remember our bad form with the wind last year cost us two games. There are lots of variations but this is what we pay big money to the coaches for. One dimensional game plans are just dumb.

The Casey practice game was against Frankston who are just a scratch team this year. Nothing really can be read into that game. If Kennedy plays well against Coburg next week and Bugg fails against Norf then I think you might be right in calling for a change.

Bombers have lost in the west ... big result in the context of our season with the Saints also losing. A Hawthorn loss on Monday would be good as well.

thank you ball boys ... I think we can mark down a Freo win

fingers crossed ... a Bombers loss would be pleasant

because if Norf had not beaten us twice last year they would have been the wooden spooners last year. And FCS we just cannot lose to them again

lots to think about after that game. Would like to believe that we will easily dispose of Norf next week

relax ... we have this don't we? What could go wrong with a team vying for top six against the wooden spooners ??

at this stage I'll just take a win by any margin

no goal since the 6 minute mark of the third quarter .....against a bottom 4 team .... not much more to say

Brisbane will lose to most teams just like Norf Saying we have to win this is an understatement re our longer term prospects

come on WB.... they are a bottom 2 or 3 team .... since quarter time we have kicked 4 goals .... not great at all This could have been a 60 plus point win and who knows what it will be now

3:3 to 2:3 that quarter ... a tad disappointing but I'll take it after last week The humidity will slow us down in the second half so I would like to see a 5 goal to 2 third quarter so we have some breathing space for the last.

a few more minutes to go in the half... now is the time for two more goals

come on 3 more goals to zip to finish a good half

well done Nibbler one more before quarter time and keep them goalless please

7 minutes without a score ... we are better than this

GWS better team than the pies but gws cannot get its running game going. Dunne not being disgraced

Hwmnbn possible season ending injury

Not many orange people here at the MCG. Not many of anybody in fact. Half the ground is still reserved seating so the pies make money. Go orange men. It will be so nice watching the pies go down.... I hope

remember the AFL considers their list so exciting they have been rewarded with ... how many??.... key Friday night games !!

think it's time we rated the coach and perhaps the positional coaches in our Joeboy three word thread. Have not been impressed by Goodwin so far but I am open to my appreciation growing.
