Still can't believe that Casey have only lost 2 games & are sitting on top of the ladder.
Being a glutton for punishment & being prepared to stick my neck out, I am going to say that they are not good enough to win the flag.
How many games have they won by less than a kick, surely their luck must run out soon.
Anyone agree ???

Few tough games coming up for Casey can they hang on to top spot, only time will tell
We know how many close games they have won but sometimes all it takes is 1 or 2 passages of play to change a result. Yes they have got the wins on the board but really they could have lost 6,7,8 games.
Geelong wont be easy next week. Collingwood all of the suddan have senior players returning and Sandringham in the final round will want revenge from their last meeting. Casey have also put in some shocking finals performances recently.
Wonder if Melbourne will want any fringe players to be booked in for early operations so they can start 2013 pre season fresh??
The VFL better hope "Casey"aka Springvale FC dont feature very much in the finals as their 100 or so supporters will make the already pathetic finals crowds look even worse.
They may get a few more to a home final but their ground is so lacking any kind of footy atmosphere in will drag down the VFL to country league status and most other VFL club supporters would be reluctdent to travel all that way when you can watch the games on TV.
Not a good look for the supposed best league outside the AFL!
I hope Melbourne under Connolly's influence keep resting their players like they did to Sandy in the last season of the alingement when the Zebras were going for four straight flags.
Casey has been ok. A full season of matches should sort out a pretender, and they've won many close matches so that says a lot about the team (despite all the cynics).
Nevertheless, any chance Casey has in the finals is dependent on MFC players being available and committed.
Home final in week 1 (and home final in week 2 if they lose in week 1) should see them get to at least week 3 this year.
They've finished on top of the ladder...you don't get there if you're a crap side...sure they've had a lot of close finishes but that would indicate that they're doing something right
Maybe Casey has that will to win and the Brett Lovett influence that keeps getting them over the line.
Didn't get many things right for the year, but managed to get this one right here. !!!
In reply to Didn't get many things right by digs
Yep digs you were right about Casey being pretenders.
As with all the alinged clubs it depends on the AFL Clubs / players commitment to winning at the pointy end of the season and Melbourne under Connoly has a habit of pulling their players out.
so they're pretenders because once the end of the season approaches and casey go from having 14-15 listed players to 5 or 6 at the end of the year and they lose, which is not surprising, they are shit? i recall last week willi dev side losing after being unbeaten all year..are they pretenders too? or did it have something to do with them losing half their team?
I think they averaged less than 11 MFC players for the season.
