Did I hear right... Casey to play in Brisbane next week?

Nice coast to coast team goal

ok here but not a great game in the conditions

Casey do love the forward pocket

The Gods do laugh... Next year maybe

7 straight kicks for goal in a quarter I'm in heaven

From the AFL match website Since Round 12, the Demons have posted a shot at goal accuracy of 42.1% – ranked last. They have conceded a shot at goal accuracy of 63.0% – ranked last. Tonight they have a shot at goal accuracy of 17%.

Accuracy is so rarely our thing Unfortunately neither is quantity these days

Playing Woewodin, Brown and Tholstrup in a must win game? Good luck to them all. Like others I think Salem is doubtful

If this season was not almost over from an MFC viewpoint you'd say that was a "reasonable" injury list

The Afghan team is doing a Stephen May according to one forum poster.

A lot of Casey's success pre 2023 was due to a core group of Casey listed players who provided a solid base for the AFL players. Most of them have now left. I suspect that is the case with a few AFL affiliated teams. Would you like to play football where your main task is to make AFL youngsters look good and be liable to being dropped purely based on the number of uninjured AFL players. And then there's the problem of rarely training as a team and being paid one tenth of some of your less well performing team mates. Strange competition... the VFL

I'd be training him in both roles. Same with Woewodin and Brown but differing roles. Their role in this season and the next is as depth. To be a good depth player you need a few arrows in the quiver. Perhaps training as a tagger or teaching players how to break even with a tagger. On Jefferson if we dare I'd play him against the Eagles, put Petty down back and rest May. Unfortunately the Eagles game may well be the last chance saloon for the AFL side if we lose to Brisbane this weekend.

No

No one really starring McAdam disappoints me as does Billings. Jefferson.. doing enough AMW.... not sure what we are trying to do with him

A nippy forward would be handy. Where's our Chameleon ??

That was a goal that went begging

Our hit rate on these players goes a bit of a way to explaining our present woes

watched until the end of the third quarter when I left for the airport. Checked the final score after immigration. Definitely not in a hurry to come back

Do we have a forward capable of leading. Think it was Langford with a minute or two to go.. he's clear on the wing with clear space in front and we kick to a pack 20 metres out

Petty wheels, evades two has space and time and bombs to Fritsch who has three North players on him. Such forward connection

Not exactly moving like a well oiled machine but.... Great quarter from Tholstrup. Oliver and Sparrow are going backwards

Agree... AFL need to come out with a clear mission statement for this competition. I suspect they have one and a successful competition in the eye of supporters doesn't rank highly on the priority list

Harsh but fair. Casey are now playing the fast corridor game and more often than not one handball too many. The most powerful weapon these days is the 30 metre kick at a 45 degree angle to a free running player. Unfortunately because we push up so high there is rarely a player to take advantage of the counterattack

Like the orange offsets on the Carlton jumpers. Time to drop Ampol perhaps
