The AFL treat the VFL with utter contempt. I wonder how any team can function under their control. Why would you want to play for Casey unless you firmly believed you were still a shot at AFL. How can you build club culture when you just fill holes in the AFL seconds team and are shunted in and out of your local comp. What the hell's the point? They've killed off a few clubs now, not to mention pulling club funding. It's like the VFL is their plaything.

Oh dear, forgot about him. Not sure I'd have him ahead of Laidlaw and Powell Looks like I'm the twit.

Who the hell's Parker from North Melbourne? Never heard of him. Do the twits mean Powell?

I can assure you that unless it says gluten-free on the snag pack, there will be gluten in, not only the snags, but the bread AND the sauce! You @thirty-one can safely tuck into a sumptuous serviette full of onions!

I think Kozzie and Langdon would laugh at the suggestion of being captains. Koz would then recoil in horror if he thought you were serious. He's made to be a leader of the indigenous players on our list, and he's already stepped into the role IMO.

Great news!

Can these draftees still name the state they want to play in? If so, how do you tell which ones will play in Vic? Thanks

Like these two: Thanks to Six6Six

As our (home) preseason game, we should be playing in Gippsland, showcasing our Gippy boys. Having 4 regional games in one town is bizarre. AFL are dumb as dog****!

Option 1 - Training jumper Option 2 - Training jumper with red v Option 3 - Ugly training jumper Option 4 - None of the above I vote Option 4

I wonder how long until this thread title changes to 'Farewell MA Services'!

I'm not seeing the AFL on your list of contributors. Surely they will be coughing up?

Thanks Stone! Now that you mention it, I do recognise him! Alas, I'm none the wiser and, to continue Little Goffy's tirade, your clues stink, ya [censored]!

I suspect I should know who this is to make the clue remotely useful. He should be in the Lookalike thread.

I would have been happy to have Mick for another ten years. I've never seen a coach get the players so invested as he does (including the men's comp). I certainly understand his need to move on and desire to end the Anglesea-Casey run. I wouldn't have lasted one year doing that. I wouldn't be surprised if the club had offered him a role with the men's team and I know he's worked with them in the women's off-season in the past. Best of luck to him! He will be sadly missed.

I don't see him as a defender and hope he gets shifted to wing / half forward. While his defending has improved, he does very little with the pill when he gets it. Typically, he will bomb it down the line and turn it over. We need this to be the last resort, not the first. A change in position will give him the opportunity to get off the endangered list.

I wasn't able to watch the game but listened in on the ABC app. Wonderful effort by the girls and shattering for them. Before Liv Purcell did her knee I thought we were a massive chance this year. For most of the game I thought they could go all the way the way they played. Not to be sadly. Notwithstanding this, a great year for them with big growth in the games of so many players. On the ABC coverage, they mentioned Zanker was off to WA (to my horror). Can anyone elaborate? Thanks

Yep, Anglesea! It would do my head in driving to Casey from there all the time.

Definitely worth the punt and lots to like - clean hands and speed from the contest for a big dude, plus dual-sided. Would've liked to see some tackling in those highlights and a contested mark or two.

Looking at his (brief) highlights, I think there's a smattering of Darcy Jones in there too, with his speed and tenacity.

Love your work six! Where did the song come from in the Vid? Every heart beats true goes Country!

I'm hoping he's lobbed out plenty of red herrings in the scheme of things.

While singing 'Don't cry for me Argentina'

Agreed!

No, I think it's Chris Dawes:
