We've got him for another year as I recall and the senior forward line for next year is looking shaky. I hope they are at least trying to give him direction but my expectation level is low

I suspect we're giving him a chance to show up forward (Melksham's spot) but not showing much separation etc

Lazarus has risen !!

What a comedy of errors is Casey ball handling

Hail Mary kick into forward 50 and goal off the ground... Nothing to excite

Carlton running away with this. Wheels falling off Casey.. fumbling.. bad passing... you name it

No about 5 minutes earlier

Lucky let off there Casey's only way is UP after that display

Nice mark by Jefferson Denied because juggled over the line but good play

The old out the back game and we're being comprehensively sucked in

Carlton parking the bus big time

Pies play a different style. Run and skilled delivery at chest level to a leading small forward with Mihochek providing the taller marking option on the lead We can dream but it's never been in our gameplan

Meant to post in this thread.... Four tall forwards injured and one ineffectual in any form of crowd. Not our year guys BBB being injured today after a bye doesn't auger well even for those of us who are desperate. TMac might provide some definition to the forward structure but I doubt that we can expect the TMac of old

PENALTIES !!!!

Crows dropping away steadily

Going nicely in the percentage area at present if we can't have a Crows win

A live game against Sydney in the final round. What fun that would be. Come On Suns !!!

I suggested this last Monday and was howled down. It makes sense. Do you see Max playing deep forward or more CHF

Unlikely though it seems I think TMac's performance in the VFL tomorrow will strongly influence Grundy's future for this season at least

Yes I think a low scoring boring game suits us at present. Accuracy on goal will be a heavy determinant methinks

I put it down to the development paths. Boys are quickly channeled into elite programs where success is necessary to stay in the team. In the olden days I knew a coach who would have his best players play for a season using only their non preferred foot. It just doesn't happen anymore to my knowledge

In NFL as I understand it the Football GM has the hire and fire say on everyone that is football related including the head coach. There are exceptions where the head coach is the boss of football and the GM is more of an advisory role. Not sure how it works in other professional sports https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_manager_(American_football) Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots is an example of a coach who is the de facto general manager; he has never been officially named or granted the title of general manager but he has the final say in football operations.

Out of interest... Do people think the head coach should have a say in who is appointed GM of Football or is this a CEO/Board only decision

Brisbane v Adelaide Percentage could well decide second spot. A high scoring close shoot out would be wonderful assuming we can't have a Crows win 120-118 is perfect
