No Sam Blease!

Great to see Bail back playing football.

It will be hard for him to break back into the team, if we don't sustain any injuries (fingers crossed), but nevertheless, good to see that he's recovered from that corked thigh.

Dissapointed Blease hasn't come up, but as long as it's just the one week off then that's ok, it's all about the long term picture for Blease. I'm just shattered that the game was moved from the sunday to the saturday otherwise I would have been there for the 2nd week in a row.

Geez How's the fwd line:

Half forwards MacReadie Dunn Wonaeamirri

Forwards Jetta Newton Miller

That's a fwd line that could well have played for the Dees in the past two years.

Any word on whats happened to offseason Casey recruit Scott Simpson from Geelongs VFL side?

I know he was injured pre-season but thought he would be back by now.

Still no Stefan Martin listed in the side either...

Must have heard what's been happening at the G ... a few of the Dees playing for a place next week I'd imagine!

Absolutely a good day for any Demon in the Casey team to perform well and Brad Miller with four goals would have most certainly thrust his name before the selectors. Gysberts is also pushing strongly for a midfield place.

A good eight goal win for the Scorps who now have a well earned week's break.

MMM said Gysberts had 30 possessions, Miller kicked 4 and was BOG and that Morton, Jetta and Aussie all got through.

Surely Gysberts is getting a game next week. He has really pushes his case in the last month.

Makes selection in the seniors this week interesting......

Morton 3 goals- a certainty to play.

Wona a certainty if he got through for the Darwin game. The club wants him to play in this game. Plus, he needs to get back in the team eventually, we desprately need some good forward pressure.

Miller or Dunn or Newton >>>> PJ up forward. Surely one of these guys come in.

Gysberts could also get a game if he played well

Thanks KC. Any views on Bail's game.

Be ridiculous to play Wonna now, especially after coming back overweight and out of condition this year. make him earn it and get in the best a couple of times. make the bloke put in as hard as everyone else.

Gysberts is way ahead at present.

Don't think he was selected!

When a spot opens up in the midfield sure Gysberts is a definite selection, but Wonna in needed in the forward line, he would do a lot better than Jones in the forward line. Last week Wonna looked good & to be in the best today well lets face it, he should be selected providing he is fit.

Surely Gysberts is getting a game next week. He has really pushes his case in the last month.

Fingers crossed, it was my first time watching him play last week and he looked pretty good to me. 30 today, hope he is in for the big trip up "norf"

Anyone get an "evenerupper" on that in-bred Robinson?

Simpson actually looked really good last week. The tackle he was reported for was entirely legal. It's pretty much the same thing as Mumford. Also, the guy came up very sick, vomited and had to be helped from the ground B) . I was actually thinking he might get a rookie spot if he continues to show that sort of spirit.

I'd say we need Gysberts in for his ball handling ability in the slippery Darwin Heat. Can't think of too many others atmo.

Is he known for his toughness?

Thanks for the wrap KC. Any news on Bail and his game? I saw he was named on the interchange bench, do you know if he took his part in the game?
