    Flying up to second place on %

    In a comp where % will be all important this is a very good win
  3. My logic is Port If we do get through to the GF I would prefer it not to be on the back of a match in the relatively draining heat of Brisbane. And we did win the last prelim we played in Adelaide
  4. A GWS v Collingwood prelim would be a fun match especially if ................

    You forgot to mention Spargo's ten screamers and 20 goals
  6. No but we have a Petracca In 2021 he had a finals series to remember as did Max. Need to recapture that energy somehow. A warm dry night in Melbourne before a near 100k crowd might be a good place to start
  7. We need to dominate the midfield. JJ is not the answer
  8. Petracca needs to play midfield with Brayshaw out. The Casey player who has been "good" up forward over the last 6 odd weeks is AMW. It's him Woey or Spargo. Spargo's form at Casey has been middling at best but he has finals experience. Can't see Jordon or Laurie performing meaningful roles. BTW... Time for Sparrow to play a blinder !!
  9. The radical move is Max to the TMac position and Grundy to ruck. Carlton will be forced to defend against Max on the 50 allowing space to Fritsch. Make sure Chandler is at Max's feet to take the crumb or handball. Max should not kick unless he has to.
  10. If Blues kick straight cannot see them losing this one
  11. seems that way from everything going around but as the appeals board can no longer up the sentence perhaps we go for it
  12. Remind me why some things go straight to the tribunal. Please
  13. Sounds like a sensible decision. I know he's been injured but only 50 AFL games at 28/29. Was he a late recruit?
  14. Must agree.. it was more of a front on tackle. Feet leaving the ground is the clincher.... Do it at your own risk
  15. Hard to see a better team from what is left at Casey. Next Friday's weather is showing as warm (24) and fine If Carlton I'd be including Tomlinson. Perhaps Turner if Sydney Forward... like the selection committee... I'm bereft of ideas
  16. I had hoped to say who cares but unfortunately..... Go Sydney and Go Port
  17. This is the answer...plus increasing accuracy is the other. We need to maintain a 3:2 goal to behind ratio. Last night it was 1:2. Finally the boundary line play through the two wingers has to be tempered by corridor run
  18. The barrel has been scraped
  19. Let's face it.. we have been NQR all year Win tonight and who knows but unfortunately all the usual flaws came screaming home Can't see us winning the next three
  20. This is starting to get embarrassing. Can we score
  21. 4 marks to zero inside 50 All on the wayward midfield
  22. Game getting away from us
  23. Simply because we never make it a media issue
  24. Need to score to win Come on
