CASEY: Rd 03 vs Williamstown
I agree Laurie was played in the midfield for Casey on the weekend but I can’t see him within the current rotation. Rotated forward and did 1-2 clever moves including a nice goal that indicate he is a more natural half forward imv.

AFLW: 2022 Best & Fairest
Amazingly close count. Daisy is a star ⭐️ Lauren Pearce had a great year as did Tayla Harris. I think Hanks was solid yet can keep on improving. Paxman, Birch and Mithen tied on 47, equal 5th and all three could have easily been higher up in the count. I think Birch was my player of the year. Premier defender in the game (Steven May like) and was rewarded with All Australian honour. Big 23 awaits. Go Dees

CASEY: Rd 03 vs Williamstown
Howes ✅JVR ✅ Woey jnr ✅ all looked good and should develop this year at Casey. Howes might even be considered later in the year perhaps for a senior run. Moniz-Wakefield was involved in the contest, cracked in and kicked a beautiful goal from the 50. One to work with imv. Bailey Laurie was ok but seems to be pencilled in as a small forward. Smart and creative type. Will aim to keep fit in 2022, and develop. Most promising game from Rosman. Still only in his 2nd year but held down key position in defence alongside Petty. Got the athletic ability, just needs to develop his footy skills and decisions. We have time to let him develop over the 22 and 23 seasons then assess.

CHANGES: Rd 05 vs GWS
Seriously / Mitch Brown hit and nothing reported. BenBrown niggled all night and gets two weeks. This week Weid and Tmcd get a reprieve. They need to STAND UP this week v Giants.

Finn Emile-Brennan
Agree. Tell the kid to settle down. He is a good prospect and would like him in red and blue.
-
Toby Bedford, Kade Chandler and Bailey Laurie…
Bedford and Chandler certainly are on the edge of selection. Spargo is ok and gives enough but his spot is still one that Bedford or Chandler could grab in my opinion. Laurie is in a development year. I agree he is more half forward than midfielder. We have plenty of small forwards so he’ll need to find some more tricks or pace to get an opportunity.

My 3 word player analysis V Port
Spargo has twice in last 2 weeks been within 30 metres with open space and tried to pass to a player in the goalsquare 🤦🏻♂️ 3 words - kick the goal !!!

AFLW GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Adelaide
Crows as the Sth Australian womens AFL team. Port AFLW team will break up the group. Crows too strong. Too skilled. Too professional. Dees were brave. Tackling was amazing. The effort was unquestionable. Heads up … a great year despite today. best: Libby Birch ⭐️⭐️⭐️Fitzsimmons ⭐️⭐️⭐️Daisy ⭐️⭐️ Paxman ⭐️⭐️L.Pearce ⭐️Goldrick ⭐️

AFLW GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Adelaide
Slow and slow and kick to a contest. What’s the strategy !?!?!?!
-
AFLW GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Adelaide
Need to move it more quickly. Run and kick. Crows setup is strong and composed. Defenders ready for standard kick. Skills of AFLW don’t support high possessions game. Just run run and run and kick. Overlap run. Crows are very very good contested footy team. who can win it ? TAYLA Harris. We’re still a chance. Go Dees

VOTES: Rd 04 vs Port Adelaide
Yes not tonight. Little handballs to no one. Trac was held by Drew in tagging role. We had others contributing
-
VOTES: Rd 04 vs Port Adelaide
Yes just missed out. Maybe it was his torpedo to no one in the last or his handballing to players under pressure. Definitely better and you could throw a blanket over Neal-Bullen, Langdon, Jordon, Sparrow, Viney, Oliver, Brayshaw. Just did enough but uninspired. We are hungry and must be ruthless. Too many hammerings in my experience and I’m not satisfied that let them off the hook. Wanted 10+ goal win!!!

My 3 word player analysis v Essendon
Agree. But I’d like to see Kozzzy more in fwd 50 and crumbing the footy and creating danger. He’s too far up the ground imv.
