2nds Casey Thread 2013

There's glass half full or half empty & then there's SSF's 'glass is not only empty but it is smashed the ground & you cut your wrists with the shards.'

I know that feel.

I led the Lucas Cook's in the 2's 2's delist charge, so it's only fair.

Failing to show up for the CDS? Poor.

It's not a good sign & does have a Cook ring to it but from all reports he has a little more steel to him than Cook.

Lets hope its true.

 

[fushy]

Did he have a major injury that he is recovering from? unlike Cooks just "i suffer from major softness"

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

He had stress fractures in his back last season, missed the whole year bar 2 or 3 games.

YEa now i remember, Cook had a stress fracture on his pea heart if i remember correctly too

The one full game Taggert played last year in the VFL 1sts, he was close to, if not best on ground. He would be a long way behind the rest of the squad with injuries etc.

Luke Shuey took 2 years to get on the park, Blease took even longer... gotta give kids time.

Max Gawn: Max backed up his positive return to football last week with another dominant display. He had 20 disposals, 20 hit outs, nine marks and kicked two goals. Max also led the team tackle count – it was an excellent contribution. He continues to make gains in his match fitness


GAWNSOME!

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Max was showing that kind of form in his first full year for Casey as well, if he can stay on the park and build his confidence I think he should be pressing very hard for a game come the middle of the year.

My boy Maxy!

 

[Bluelegs]

Yep, terrible news for mine. Cross another off the list.

That is a very harsh post off the back of two sentences about Rory Taggerts game in the Casey development league.

Toumpas should be treated the same way.

Hogan will have to be Carey-good to save this club but he just may be! We can hope can't we!

 

[Bartram_Class]

Gawn!

 

[LBJ6]

Got to have a midfield to kick it to him.

 

[RandB]

Gawn!

What is his engine and ground coverage like though? Hitouts alone in 2013 no longer covers it unfortunately - today showed that.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Great news, now all we need is a team around him in 2014.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

My boy Maxy again! Bring him in for Jamar next week!

 

[Crusty Demon]

Some hope for the future.

Strauss simply must come into the side. Our skills out of defence are deplorable. Gawn in for Jamar as well. Been torn apart in 3 games now. The game is well and truly past the big guy. Kent in as well please...

 

[Captain Jack]

Would like to see Strauss in, who does he replace though? Need to give Terlich and Jetta a good crack at it... the former looked decent today, the latter needs a few games consecutively to get a feel for it.

Does Strauss have the tank to come in for someone like Toumpas and play more in the midfield?

 

[Captain Jack]

Thanks for the report here Sylvia Saint

 

[Bluelegs]

As soon as Gawn has match fitness he'll end up being our first ruck.

 

[Black Dynamite]

I hope so cause whats happening now is not working out to well.
