  1. The joy of being a supporter is imagining ... what if....... turn for the bye at 8-3 and we can dream. Just imagine finishing fourth and playing the Tiges at the MCG in that first final. Living week to week is what the other teams do. Time perhaps to think like the entitled ones !!
  2. Sixth on the ladder .... are we going higher let's make it easier for those who like to use the ladder predictor. Where are we at the bye please?
  3. Thanks to all our Casey reporters ... wonderful as always. Next week at Frankston .. may make the trip Looking forward to the more detailed reports when time permits
  4. I am tending towards the theory that the inaccuracy reflects the pressure of the game but I am unable to explain the seeming growth in the level of inaccuracy from set shots other than to suggest that the modern game shares the set shots around a little more than the past where it was dominated by dedicated forwards. PS: Of course as I post that Geelong kicks 2 and their goals to behind ratio is not quite as bad
  5. High level of inaccuracy at 10:11. In Melbourne it is perfect conditions ... assume it is the same at Casey? what is garlett's score and tackle level if anyone has it. Thanks
  6. sounds similar to another team Go Tiges ..one less team in that 12 -6 area
  7. One question ... are North better than I thought.. Had them as a 12-18 side
  8. the thing that some posters often miss is that he has rarely done anything at VFL level either. Sure develop him but other than one game against the Hawks at Box Hill last year he has failed to impose himself upon a game at VFL level. Good time to play him against the lesser lights of the competition but he does need to show something. I put very little faith in Goodwin's comments as he will not often if ever criticise a player in public.

    pity they had a win... was hoping for the usual deserted ground... they will be there in their delusional thousands. Guy rang into the radio spruiking them as a definite finals team for next year. I think they are destined for that 10- 18 rung for several years yet. 40 point win next week and more if we kick straight. Jeffy is a possibility for next week if he has 6 tackles and four goals this afternoon. Don't quite understand the baying hounds for Tyson .. (sure he had a bad game) but last week the hounds were baying for ANB.

    Whoever gets dropped next week will be unlucky. Let's wait and see how the Casey game unfolds tomorrow. 5 goals or more to Garlett could pose a fascinating conundrum.
  11. Have been posting a little about the trip on the Demonland soccer forum. Games start June 13. Come and have a chat. I'm trying to give some colour and a dash of Vodka. Russia is another world but who knows
  12. need to see some quarter by quarter stats but IIRC his stats to half time were minimal. Could be wrong. Wonderful to see his final results. Love your work Joeboy by the way.
  13. Yep WWS: AFL is special in the whole crowd thing... like other areas it seems we are losing our innocence. Not sure it's necessary but rather it's a reaction to some security anlayst's what ifs. Have we ever had a serious crowd invasion incident? Off to the World Cup in a couple of weeks .... will be interested to see how the Russians deal with it.
  14. Haven't seen a match from the new dome in the West before. Don't like the cattle fences keeping the crowds back. Hope it doesn't become a trend....
  15. I'll give you a clue.... white carnations
  16. Just went to sit down and watch the Dogs v Lions on FTA and what do I find.... Freo v Saints ... yawn Inspector Morse re runs for me tonight !
  17. No reason we shouldn't repeat it next week BB .... that was a game of absolute domination ... if we had kicked a little better in the first half it would have been a plus 100 point win. Beat Carlton, Adelaide and that other team who play in the black and white and the football world will finally take notice.
  18. now .. don't spoil the party. I am now starting to think that next week against the Blues won't be a repeat of round 23
  19. From the AFL site: Jack Martin can hold his head high on a tough day for his team. He has matched his career-best of four goals, along with 15 kicks, five marks, two clearances and five intercepts. He has been involved in eight of the Suns' 22 scoring possession chains.
  20. Junior mac where are we with that record inside 50 stat ? Would be fantastic to hold a positive record for once
  21. Imagine if we do this against the Blues next week Could be more than fun
  22. don't mind them .. with this lead you play risk ball and really bury them
  23. long time since we have been able to say that !!
  24. this thread is starting to sound like Hounds who have found the scent .... VICTORY
  25. Time to play final margin Lotto.. It says a lot about MFCSS but I'm feeling good .. for once Dees by 64
