spirit of norm smith

Obviously not rated by other clubs. Crazy. He has the speed and goal sense that is sought after.

Meets our needs. A classy player.

Smokey!!! I didn’t see this coming. Not in my top 100 to be honest. In JT we trust.

Real strength and a booming 60 metre kick. Happy days.

I like him. Someone who likes it tough. He will be handy in ruck or forward rotation and will relieve Gawny from being exhausted by August.

Again mentioned as likely draftee. AFL website article lists Lockhart and Corey Wagner. Both has excellent year at Casey.

Lockhart is probably pick 85-90 or rookie selection.

Fair question. Need to ask every year about bringing Andrew Brayshaw back to Victoria. But the Brayshaw family also has strong family ties in WA so need to prioritise keeping Angus Brayshaw.

We have 9 MCG home games ; with 5 big games incl Sydney; 3 v interstate ; 1 v Sml Vic club 3 MCG away 2 Interstate home games 2 Etihad (marvel) both away 6 interstate/hostile (Cats) away games (7 interstate trips - 2 home, 4 v host state, 1v host club nthmelb) no trip to Adelaide!!

We play over 6 days Monday afternoon 1 Wednesday night 1 Thursday night 1 Friday night 3 Saturday afternoon 6 Saturday night. 4 Sunday afternoon 5 And mystery round 23 = 22 matches A mixed bag. Not too bad. Some 9 night matches.

Lockhart will get a late draft call up or rookie chance. Dees could use pick 91 (probably be 83-85 after other teams use picks for academy and father/son point needs) or a rookie pick for Lockhart.

Tougher draw in 2019. Much tougher. Better for $$$ and Friday nights. Expect minimum 4 Friday nights. Expect to play 5 of top 9 (top half) teams twice. That’s hopefully Eagles x 1 in Melbourne Collingwood x 2 round 1 & QB game Tigers x2 incl Anzac Eve Hawks x2 Cats x 1 home game Sydney x 2 Giants x1 away Kangas x 2 hope it’s Pies (away) Round 1 on the Friday night

I’m afraid Butters is “soft”. It’s not great but in theme (Seriously Butters is very very good. Think Trent Cotchin or Brent Oreilly ex Crows. Highly skilled. Light frame. Always composed and great decision maker. I have him 16-20 so a chance).

It worked with Bailey Fritsch last year. He was undisciplined, crazed and injury prone. Bargain selection at 31.

I think Bedford has some injury concerns and discipline issues. Very risk pick for any club to nominate except for the Dees

Good luck Jesse. You are welcome back anytime. I know how important family is, especially given your last 2 years.

Bedford is quick. No doubt. Whilst he doesn’t get the footy 25 times a match, his danger is tackling, pressure, goalkicking and assists. Definitely worth any draft pick after 50.

Jay Lockhart is the 178cm Tasmanian who joined Casey in 2018. Impressed more and more as a solid small defender with good skills and decision making. Would be very handy backup to Jetta. Pick 62, 91 or rookie.

Petracca can step up with a 40+ goal season in the stars.

Agree. We will likely use 54 or 62 on Bedford or those points. I think the earliest nominated offer for him could be Bulldogs at 45. He has the skills and pace that we need. Needs 12 months in Casey development at least.

Welcome to the real AFL. Suns are a disgrace.

Yes Peter Bell wins. Mahoney caved but knew Jesse wanted to go home. We all move on.
