Anb - starting to decline …. May be dropped … must do better

I think they need to play Ben Brown for the next three weeks if he’s fit. They need to see how he fits in. It’s a big call but he was traded in to be running around at Casey fields.

Still wishing Tomlinson hadn’t gone down. Petty needs a double shot of confidence.

Agree. It’s a fu@$&(&&?n disgrace. Top team. Huh. We’d be 6 goals ahead if muffties like Harmes could kick straight.

We need a Ben Brown or a Sam Weideman as a tall forward as a target. The LJ and Tmcd combo is not effective enough. We need 3 talls and someone to stand up. FFS This is our year.

Add Ben Ainsworth. Really looked ok for periods of today’s match v Kangas. Good hands. Good skills hitting targets. Good pace and strength. But something missing in his development and could really benefit from coming back to Vic and a lift in intensity. After 4 1/2 years at the Suns, he hasn’t lived up to draft pick#4.

Dumont is having a good game Suns. Would be hard to shake him loose from the Kangas.

Except the AFL rules state you have to take a first round pick within a certain window. Not sure of the exact numbers.

I agree DD36 that’s he’s previously problem was kicking errors. But in the last few games I’ve seen Petruccelle play this year, he seems a lot more effective with his possessions and disposal. I nominated him because he might want to come home to Victoria and be reasonably priced for $ and trade price. He is very dangerous up forward and loves a goal. With his pace, he’d form a dangerous combo with Kozzzzy.

5 targets ? I agree that Trent Dumont is certainly worth a call … others to see if there’s any interest based on what we could reasonably offer oliver florent- swans brayden maynard - pies Ed Richards - dogs Jack Petruccelle- Eagles

Cameron drops the mark. And still paid it!! Wow. Opsm!!!

Unbelievable home team favouritism by umps AGAIN. I hate the cats but the lions are getting the absolute run from the maggots. Cats get it at their home. Eagles are definitely another team that gets the extra benefit at home from the umps.

Casey boys mainly playing suburban footy this round. 19 AFL LISTED in the Casey team. (18 probably given 23rd man medi sub call up). Like to see Zac Foot still given a run.

Sorry werridee. It was a joke. The point was Hibbo is 31. That’s the age bracket the cats like.

Jones on the bench for Casey. Wtf

I think we should give Narkle a good 3 year contract. But what trade bait can we offer? Perhaps let’s look to trade out a player like Hibberd for Narkle. Nothing against Hibbo. He’s 31 so right in the Cats perrrrrrfect age bracket!?!?!

Agree that a “Brown” must come in to replace the Weid. Harsh but fair given he can’t stick his marking and offers little else.

Essenscum getting a trip to Geelong. Ffs

Bring in the Fish. Might be handy in the wet !

Too soon. Plus another Geelong boy that they will try to grab in a few years.

Ben Ainsworth. Unbelievable that he can’t get a game for the Suns. I have only seen a few games but he is strong, good kick for goal, good overhead and has skills. Not sure if it’s his workrate or simply that Suns are preferring to push Flanders and Rankine ahead of him.

Kelly is an absolute star. Would love to have Lachie Whitfield in a Dees jumper. He’d fit in beautifully.

Ollie Wines. 43 possessions. 8 marks. 6 tackles. 700 metres gained. Clearly BOG. Had good pace on the outside run. Won plenty of contested footy. Along with Bont, Oliver & Parish, he’d be another getting close to Brownlow favouritism.
