Not sure why in the scheme of things we're playing bbb -
It is hard to find a stand out. Game by Casey is either chip it around or play through congestion often with a turnover. Very few periods of open play
-
They're playing the Hawks gameplan... keep on chipping it around until you turn it over
-
How bad can they be
-
We get the ball at the centre bounce and then hand pass to a running Tiger who connects for a shot on goal Terrible
-
Skill levels not that great by Casey
-
Yes that was bad but also lots of up and under high kicks
-
Not the greatest delivery inside 50
-
Have we got it to the 50 yet let alone inside it
-

Don't disagree but the logical conclusion of your proposition is scrap the VFL and replace it with closed door scratch matches. That works fine for Melbourne teams but one of the reasons we have the present dysfunctional competition is that we admitted interstate clubs who were complaining that their local competition standard was inadequate
-
The clubs have a big say in VFL structure. I think it's time the AFL came clean on what if any vision they have for the competition. The reality is that as a competition it's dying. That in itself may be no problem. Several years ago I posted that it was not necessarily in the interests of the competition to increase crowd numbers as that would require new toilets, staffing etc. The byes have also dramatically impacted any form of competitive integrity

He will if he can't get a game. It is the way of things
-
It strikes me as a square peg in a round hole move. We need a 40 goal plus forward which BBB can be. Would have preferred this move to be trialled at Casey for a few weeks. If Oliver is at full strength I can't see much sense in Laurie's inclusion. Unfortunately he may well go the way of Jordon and Bedford at season's end
-
The Casey continuum is definitely a conundrum. I'd prefer to share an inner city VFL ground going forward as the match day option. Port Melbourne or Coburg for example
-
No BBB or Fullarton ?
-
JUH not being at Monday training after being at the boxing on Saturday is curious. Could not help but notice the following in the next SEN article: Former Docker, Sun and Demon Harley Bennell kicked 6 goals to help guide the Lions to a 9-point win over Dederang Mount Beauty FNC 15.8 98 to 12.17 89.
-
Interesting that no matches to be played there which puts Casey firmly into play for VFL etc
-
In the Hawthorn game (who can forget) Dipper and Brereton lined up Robbie (obviously a planned move) and sandwich bumped him from left and right. A horrible look
-
-
Not a stupid idea given the growth of the West but the reality is that they should merge. All quiet on the Tasmanian stadium front in the public arena.
-
Very small ground for spectators and now that the old stand is no longer even smaller. That being said I wouldn't expect many attendees. I wonder how many emergencies we'll keep back for the evening
-
Thought this might be a good game but Sydney too good
-
Glad I didn't go If there's one thing worse than a Magpie win it's a comeback win
-
AFL have admitted to an umpiring error on the Draper HTB play The AFL has conceded it erred in not paying a free kick against Sam Draper for a controversial dive on the ball on Friday night, as the Essendon cult hero said he had no other choice but to do what he did with the game on the line. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/crows-won-t-bite-on-costly-non-call-against-bombers-20240419-p5flat.html
