spirit of norm smith

Spargo is looking tired and not physically strong enough for the contest ahead. But who are the options for next week. Corey Wagner was Casey’s best but he is not MFC listed. No real alternatives in my opinion no change until Viney ready week 1 of finals

Yes most improved. Has lifted since Viney went down. Brayshaw equal most improved!!

Yes. Very good today. Ruck work. Contests. Good marks. Gave us a target Needs to 1- improve body work and strength 2- kicking for goal (needs work) 3- tackling. Some were good. Some were not good enough

Hogan to be traded. No way. He has the ability to take us to number 1. We must show the loyalty to the group. If his personal issues mean he wants to go home, then we need to consider that. But not looking to offload Jesse. Remember he’s still only 22-23.

6 big Maxy Gawn 5 James Harmes 4 Christian Salem 3 Clayton Oliver 2 Nathan Jones 1 Jake the milkshake Melksham

Wtf. Vandenburg went for the contest Not high not in the back. It was man on man. Submit a please explain somebody

Chances. We should be 5 goals up. Harmes. Jonesy. Tyson. Petracca. Weideman. All missed (2 points. 3 out of bounds). Excluding Petracca shot, all were 25 metres out. Please kick the goal.

Get Darcy Tucker. Similar type. Tough and skilled. Fits out half back needs perfectly

Lockhart and Corey Wagner will be drafted. We need Lockhart. Huge upside.

We don’t ask for much. Just a win. 1-Point. Ugly. Wgartefhfhhfdghf type of win.

Need Viney back. Oliver Harmes Viney centre square A team

Swans Cats Gawks all win. We need to win

Elimination finals start now

Weakest Casey team in 2018. Crippled by demons injuries. No cavalry ahead likely straight set finals departure again

We have to win. Cannot rely on Port losing to the bombers. Port should win meaning we need a win v Giants or Eagles

47 years and its in the blood. Optimism? What is that? I have heard about this mystery feeling

Port must lose cats percentage ffs. They have the Suns next week !

Struggling again today. Kicked a goal but just a handful of touches.

No surprise. Hard to see a depleted Casey overcoming the odds again. Aside from Sicily, Roughead and Birchall, most of Hawks list is available.

Still think in the late 20s the best option is a youngster like Tom McKenzie, Mitch Riordan & Hugo Munn. probably Valente, Duursma & O’Halloran will be gone by 29-32

I would draft 24yo Alex Barns from nth Adelaide. Big ruck/fwd. 201 cms. Physically ready. Can play as a key forward as well. Shhhh

Update post round 21 Retired. Balic. Vince (likely). Delist Johnstone (re rookie). Bugg. Jkh. McKenna. King. Filopovic (r) Trade - Garlett to Freo pick 55-60 ish rookie upgrade - keilty T smith and Maynard stay as rookied that gives us 7 picks plus a rookie spot add - 2 x free agents add - 5 through draft incl Toby Bedford add - 1 rookie need to get a ruckman for Gawn backup

Close games v injuries. Lever and Viney. They play. We beat Saints, Swans and Cats.

Yes Goodwins instructional play is handball or short pass until it’s 20 metres out. We are unlikely to kick running goals from 40-50 out even with open goals

Flower is still the best player I have seen. Better than Ablett, Carey, Dangerfield, Buckley. He carried Melbourne with skill and pure footy smarts. Simply the greatest.
