I can't see him leaving this season. He still has another year on his contract and I don't think there'll be much interest considering his current injury issues.

Wowzas, haven't heard the names McKenna, Johnstone and Filipovic for a long while. It's interesting looking back and seeing that we missed out on some serious ruck talent in that rookie draft. Hannan played some great footy for us in 17-18 (epic finals goal against the Cats included) before injuries took their toll alongside Jayden Hunt taking his spot in the forward line. He always struck me as a good solid clubman so I was happy to see that he played some good games at the Dogs before injury sadly ended his career. I remember him absolutely tearing Port Adelaide apart in the '21 prelim.

I think it bodes well for his f/s draft chances if he's been given a run at Casey. If I can recall, we gave Kynan Brown a few weeks in the reserves last year as well.

Cam's best goal haul for us in a match was 3 which he did several times. He did however boot 3 in a final quarter (against GC, I think) in a runaway 10 goal win. Here's a great vid from YT featuring some of Cam's best work during his time in the red and blue.

No Fullerton and Verrell is genuinely surprising. Really don't want JVR in the ruck for large chunks of the game as he was superb in the forward line on Sunday.

Love the series! I was always disappointed that Vanders' career with us was hit heavily by injury. Definitely one of my favourites from the last decade or so. Happy he got to be part of the '21 flag though, albeit off the field. Loved watching Jeffy Garlett back around the '15-'17 period as well. Played some very handy games for us in exchange for essentially a packet of chips.

I've been taking my own sandwiches/drinks/snacks etc into the 'G all season so far. At some point, you just have to ask yourself if it's worth lining up for 10 minutes just to spend $6 on a lukewarm pie. The only exception are the jam donuts outside the G following a win!

What a player. Hope Gus is doing ok at the moment.

Tom Fullerton, Come on down! As big of a loss Max would be, it might make us a bit less predictable.

Really liked his game yesterday. Kept working hard up the ground and took a career high 8 marks (the late one on Reid was a particular highlight). Lines up for game 50 against the Bombers this weekend (alongside Kozzy for his 100th).

Had a good game last week. I think we just have to accept that with his current conditioning, we're going to get a down performance every few weeks.

I hope we don't look to rush Petty back into the side, especially considering today our forward line looked as dangerous as it has all season without him. Both Melksham and Turner deserve to hold their spots in the forward line for another week.

I still see him as a defender long term, especially after May retires in the next 2-3 years but he's made a great fist of it as a forward thus far this season.

Big result at Docklands with the Saints upsetting the Swans Meanwhile, the Crows who are 8 points down have all the momentum against the Lions at the Gabba in the 3rd.

6. Rivers 5. JVR 4. Windsor 3. TMac 2. Langdon 1. Pickett

Gawn subbed. Precaution?

Missed some really easy goals in that quarter. Should be up by at least 70 points or so

Brilliant smother Nibbler JVR has four for the half!

Disco time!

Few turnovers so far but otherwise ok.

Van Rooyen has had a terrific month.

Clarry still hasn't touched but I can't say it's mattered a whole lot so far.

Three goals so far from our first round picks from last draft. Good signs early!

TMac deserves to play into '25. Been a great comeback story this year

Melk has been impressive early.
