I think the only thing we've learnt for sure through this whole preseason is that we're going to play this year with a hell of a lot of #demonspirit

I’m pretty sure a commentator mentioned JVR during the broadcast. Sounded like he’d watched the 2s and JVR was good. Think it was Healy.

If he thinks JVR is good we should delist him

Digging into the why
Couple reports on demonland didn't say too much but apparently JVR got better as the game progressed. Someone said Schache kicked 5.
While we're at it, can we delist Healy as well?

I quite like the idea of a total information blackout on Casey games. Will save a heap of time speculating who should come in each week.
Well done to the club for this initiative.

I saw JVR kick 2 goals after taking marks inside forward 50 on a dees fan vlog and nearly nail another from 55. He cant have been that bad if in the 4 or so minutes of footage he did that

This is why ATG's are better supporters than ones who watch from home.

Hopefully the person responsible for this gross leak of classified information is found and punished.

i think it was actually Derrwayne Russell who said that.
the poor bloke looks a bit down for a pre season VFL scratch match loss. i think he's definitely got the #demonspirit

Does this mean JUH lines up for us this weekend?
Schache kicked 5? Just give us the cup now. It's over
A little off topic, anyone notice Dwayne justifying the additional 'end zone' umpires late in the game. He was talking as if fans will still complain about missed free kicks even though the additional umpires are there to pick up missed free kicks. Pretty sure most fans aren't worried about missed free kicks but rather worried about the game will be over umpired. Having said that I thought the umpires were fine on the weekend (mainly it's because they are instructed to be bias against Richmond of course)

Nah idk I'd say a lot of fans are worried about missed free kicks, cos it just shows the inconsistency
I flipping hate when there's a missed holding/dropping the ball. Bugs me more than a lot of howlers.
The golden years of footy had a a shitton more free kicks

Only thing I'm worried about is the AFL trying to play music between goals again. I absolutely hate that shit.

Free kicks back in the day used to actually mean something. 60 free kicks a game for a fingernail on a shoulder or looking too angrily at an opponent don't improve shit.
The golden years of footy also had blokes punching each other's teeth out behind the play so therefore that clearly made it better

I've never been to a game at the Gold Coast but that trumpet thing after every Suns goal would do my head in, it's bad enough on TV. Actually had a flash back to the early 00s with the roar-o-metre with Richmond, or the Doggies, Doggies, Doggies, woof woof woof, or the clip of the hawthorn mascot jumping infront of fireworks on the big screen. I don't remember a Melbourne one, but I'm sure there was something.

I hate the soft frees, it's more I wish they would "overumpire" dropping the ball.
To me missed HTB/Incorrect disposal calls is worse than a few soft free here and there

Digging into the why
According to afltables the 60's, 70's and 80's had huge free kick counts. Way bigger than today, high 20's and 30's each way and in the low 40's each way in the late 70's. It wasn't until the 90's they started to drop down. They've increased a bit in the past couple of years but still sitting around 20 odd per team per game which is about what it was until '94.
Obviously players belted each other way more back then though.
