Colvin Paxman Bannan L.Pearce Goldrick Heath into the GF 😊

JVR out. Loss of Weid and JVR reduces our attacking targets this week.

Another woeful umpiring effort. Three poor umpiring efforts

6 Clayton Oliver A warrior Definitely a 3-vote game 5 Angus Brayshaw Seemingly everywhere and linked up creativity all night 4 Ed Langdon runs and runs and gets footy and runs 3 Max Gawn Battled on around the ground to drive the ball forward 2 Joel Smith Defensive efforts were important at key moments 1 Sam Weeeeideman Better attack on marking and kicked crucial goals apologies to May and Bowey who were solid all night

Riv Spargo Hunt Sparrow Pickett Fritsch Jordon tmcd passengers tonight need to lift !!

Inside 50s. Wtf Dees 34. 4 goals. Dons. 18. 3 goals.

Captain Jack Sparrow 👋👋

Arrogance. Bathwater game so far. Need to be more Ruthless.

6 Christian Petracca Fantastic game Strong and skilled (but 2 goal misses were disappointing) 6 Luke Jackson Wow he’s a star already … sign him up for 7 year deal 6 Jake Bowey undefeated premiership player… composed and skilled plus competitive… rising star All 3 were clearly the best for us. 3 Steven May - dependable all game , leader of the backline 2 Angus Brayshaw - used the footy well, brave and smart, ran and defended equally as anyone on the day 1 Clayton Oliver - gets the footy and super contested but difference to Trac is that Clarry often wastes it and needs his 2021 decision making back Honourable mentions : Joel Smith defensive efforts all night. ANB for his tackling and run but still misused the footy on occasions. You stink award: all 3 umps especially “34”.

1/2 time. Casey up by 6 goals. Brown is a standout. JVR will be a very very good player. Woey jnr moves well. Howes also. Good signs. Daw ok v Ryder. Dunstan and Bedford just seem to be poor decision makers. That’s what let’s them so far. Munro is Casey heart and soul player. Rips in. Weid is still too timid in my view. He needs to just demand it and crush anyone in his way to get it. Nice boy still.

I think if Melksham has a good game, he might replace Sparrow. Tommy hasn’t had the best two weeks and I think Melksham across half forward still offers good goal scoring power. Dunstan is the other key player who’s probably going to get a chance at promotion.

I thought Brock Smith (delisted by Lions) was a good option for Casey this year and one still to watch. Not sure where he is playing in 2022. Was a strong rebound defender in 2019 drafted at pick 33 by Lions (captained Gippsland Power in 2019) . Showed some good parts in NEAFL comp but obviously not enough to remain on the list.

16 AFL listed. Casey’s defence obviously looks weak with us missing 4 premiership defenders in the AFL !!! Loss of Hutchins also reduces their key defender stocks. Strange they didn’t look to bring in another key defender from the suburban leagues over the summer.

Who’s missing round 2? Sslem, Lever, Petty , Hibbo (all premiership players) and young Turner.

Absolute gold !!!

I think these added blokes like Lonie and Zaharakis are AFL Covid impact cover as opposed to being Casey recruits for 2022. Casey in 2022 will be AFL listed plus guys like Munro, Buntine, Freeman, White, Etc.

Yes not sure. It was only a practice match anyway.

Agreed. Love the fact we have gun defence then pretty good backup coverage. Want to see Hibbo, Riv, Lever and Salem back (Petty to miss 2022) but ok to cover in short term.

Lots to like. But still very green and can only get better. Love to see him and Kozzzzy together.

Great news. I feel Sparrow is ready to have a break out game and kick 3-4 goals this year and 20+ possessions. Lots of improvement ahead.

Beveridge. Embarrassing. Disappointing. Needs anger management. He bullied and belittled, then reckons he’s worried about mental health. Needs a big fine and an apology to Tom Morris. He even was cranky about the Sherrin and the McDonald’s sponsorship. They pay into the AFL and his club gets financing assistance from the AFL. WHAT A JERK.

Christian Salem. Any early news? One of our keys. Really hope it’s not too serious.

6 Petracca 5 Langdon 4 Oliver 3 Brayshaw 2 Brown 1 Hunt ANB unlucky - but missing that goal from 10 metre out all alone in front was a shocker

Bulldogs and ump scum beat us last year. WTF FREES 12-4? Not even touched him weightman!!?!?!

Agreed. Let him be under the radar. Certainly was a key player all through 2021 and especially on GF Day. Salem is a star.
