Enjoy that Maric was in the best, would like to see him get going

Would like to see Jetta and Gysberts get a game soon as reward for consistent efforts

Posted

I've got no problem playing Wona in Darwin. I'm pretty sure he'll perform as the hometown hero.

If we ever play a premiership match in Ringwood or wherever Gysberts is from then we'll give him a free pass into the team too.

So in summary... Bruce has a questionable hamstring for a few weeks while Gysberts is tearing up the VFL, and the forward line is looking worn out and short of repeat-lead marking targets and Miller is BOG in the VFL.

Depending on how Bate's ankle goes, it could be as direct as Gysberts for Bruce and Miller for Bate.

Has Miller been doing any ruck-helping at Casey? Because PJ hasn't added too much.

Thinking out loud, the players most likely to come in this coming week would be -

Miller

Gysberts

Morton

Plus Aussie in for luck up North. Which might make Maric cry or might make him get some traction at last.

Why would that be? AFAIK this is the first time Maric's been in the best for Casey, and of the two Wonna's the one who's shown he can cut it at AFL level.

If anyone would cry because they missed selection it would be Cheney and McNamara who have been doing well down there for a long time.

Think wona is weeks off, how much footy has he played in the last 12 mths

would expect him to play at least another 2 - 3 weeks at vfl

Colin Garland played 1 and a half games of footy in 12 months and came straight into the senior side. The FD have shown that if they think someone is capable they will happily promote them after minimal gametime despite long absences.

I don't think that would/should apply to Wonaeamirri.

Im not sure how Morton can be behind Gysberts.

Id love to see Jordan get a game, but I struggle to see Morton being overlooked if he is right to play.

I'll have a crack at answering that one.

Gysberts has been in Casey's best players in three consecutive matches and was a significant contributor in each win.

I saw Cale Morton in his first game back and he looked good but was really eased into things after a longish layoff. I'm told that he struggled to shake off his tag on Saturday but being the quality footballer that he is, he still managed three goals, one from a soft 50 metre penalty. The selectors would have at the back of their minds the fact that he would be required to play his comeback game to AFL footy in the heat and humidity of Darwin after a long flight. Might not be the best idea for a bloke who is a very valuable asset to the club.

So do you suggest we do not play Morton and give him a week's break as there is no match at Casey this week?

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
