GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Dees v Blues. It’s another huge test. Blues lost last 2 and face Dees and Swans. My 50 cents. If we butcher the ball like v cats and v tigers, we are truly “fire-trucked”. Can’t rely on defence EVERY WEEK. You have to score. One score over 100 in 8 games is poor. We need goalkicking accuracy and better connection forward of centre. Go Dees

AFL Mid-Season Draft 2024
If big strong midfielder is needed to bolster our midfield depth, contender would be Riley Collier-Dawkins. With the departures of Brayshaw, Jordon, Harmes, Dunstan … midfield depth is seriously eroded. Having an excellent year at Williamstown and one of the best in the VFL comp. Good size and pace. Would be good at the contest and drive hard at second chance.

CASEY: Rd 06 vs Williamstown
It’s daylight. AMW is the only one deserving of a call up really. What are we waiting for ? Probably offers more than Billings right now.

2024 Injury List
Bowey back would be a bonus for this week. Missed 7 weeks with that shoulder injury. Assume he’s been running over the last few weeks to maintain fitness.

AFL Mid-Season Draft 2024
Hateley was drafted with decent form as a junior but never showed enough at the Giants or Crows. Never seemed to find a spot. He looked off pace or lacking intensity whenever I saw him play. Still in the unfulfilled potential basket perhaps.

CASEY: Rd 06 vs Williamstown
Agree I’m a fan of AMW. I think he is worth a chance to debut this year. His tackling (from his rugby background) is very good so he should adapt to the pressure.

COACHES VOTES: Round 08
Scott is a tool. He lost but likely gave his players 5 vote and 4 vote outcomes. Coaches votes are a joke.

Brownlow votes 2024 progress thread
V the cats, like to see either May or Lever in the votes. With the Dees win, likely it’s 3-S.May 2- M.Holmes 1- M.Gawn so projected votes have Gawn between 10-12votes, Trac around 6-8votes , May on potentially 6-7 votes and Clarry modestly on 2-3 votes.

Jason Taylor getting some well deserved kudos
Lots of ticks for JT. He’s been a big part of our success. Not just the first rounders like Trac, Gus, Clarry, LJ & kozzzy but guys like Fritta, Petty, Rivers, Bowey that have really shown out as great picks. McVee also a rookie bonus. Some busts of course like Weid and Rosman however cannot complain at all with out drafting.

2023 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Very happy with Windsor. Would have grabbed Darcy Wilson ahead of the Kolt but can see why JT opted for the Kolt. Got something about him. Just needs the year to develop his footy more. Class of 23 is very strong. Class of 24 is as good or better in my view.

CASEY: Rd 06 vs Williamstown
Again MFC being conservative with players. Brown, Hore, Schache, Hunter all saved in case they are called up for Thursday night. Unlikely except for Hunter who may come in. Certainly robbed Casey of 3-4 more senior players. AMW had a good game imv. He has developed well and I think he thoroughly deserves a debut shortly. Good intensity and tackling. Wins rhe contested footy. 1-2 turnovers but that’s not unlike others including our senior group. Certainly offers more than Billings or Laurie in my opinion. Otherwise good chance for some Casey youngsters to get game time. And for talents like Roy George. Edwards also looked classy in patches.

CASEY: Rd 06 vs Williamstown
Too many out. Brown. Hunter. McAdam. Hunter definitely is an IN this week.
