  1. Agree They are only counted if you leave the square but with the present rules almost every kick involves you leaving the square. In the old days I used to wonder how Rhyss (?) Shaw had so many possessions until someone on this forum explained the "kick in" stat
  2. Agree.. His 5 goals was great but he didn't dominate. (By comparison Weid did dominate in his breakout 5/6 goal game against Box Hill) Trending nicely and all the better for sharing the forward line with BBB as Weid did against Box Hill that day If we manage to be in a good position for that final game against North I'd risk him as a sub and give him a half as a sign that he's doing well. A long way to go for a player many wrote off a few weeks ago
  3. McAdam needed a month at Casey followed by a half as sub at AFL level. We're not going well enough to "train up" players at AFL level. Now it's no mans land. If he's dropped will hit his confidence etc etc
  4. Better but still not clicking. Windsor had a very quiet game. McAdam and Petty have been mentioned. Anyway off to Alice for a 50/50 game against Freo
  5. More like it Foot to the proverbial floor please
  6. Let's get a few more goals and end this game. Hard to see this team "clicking" but you never know
  7. Good effort by Casey
  8. mmmmmm not how I wanted this game to go
  9. Don't you hate an arm wrestle
  10. Absolute dominance that quarter Well done
  11. Game slipping away but effort has been there
  12. Thanks guys.. good reward for all the effort this quarter Let's keep it up
  13. Accuracy please...
  14. We definitely seem to be playing a fast get it forward game at Casey. I don't mind it as a development game as it's sink or swim if you have the skills. How you build in that last kick into 50 is a challenge with this style particularly if the side is bereft of fast moving/small forwards. At least you can see the germ of an idea. I prefer it to the long kick boundary game of previous years as far as skill development goes
  15. Inability to get clean possession inside 50 hasn't helped. Sandringham much better going inside 50
  16. Hunter... well let's see how he goes
  17. Dan Butler.... wasn't he the hottest property in AFL pre pandemic
  18. Long time since I can recall a time clash with the AFL game. Many have been close but basically one half and then the AFL game starts... Strange timing... Even a 12:45pm start would have avoided a clash
  19. Go the Orange Men
  20. They are not as bad as they play methinks. Tigers keeping them "honest" so to speak Won't make the HR mistake they made last year
  21. An extra team does nothing to help the number of TV games. Additional viewers in Tasmania would be few. Twentieth team... come on down
  22. Have the leaves finished falling yet at GP? Many thanks PS Out of interest does the oval suffer from dog droppings or is someone on pre training pooper scooper duty
