Out - Rivers can't catch the ball, can't keep up with an opponent.

Wonna, not up to it yet

someone else for team balance because of Geelong's gorrillas

In - Bruce, can catch a ball and keep up with an opponent

Bate, need him

Warnock, to take care of a gorilla or two

Warnock, Rivers, Garland and Frawley = too heavy. Garland played his worst game today. Doesn't automatically mean he should be dropped but he needs to get back to jumping and punching the ball and stop holding on to his opponent!

Next week, we need to cover Mooney, Hawkins, Podsiadly, Steve Johnson, and then Chapman/Varcoe and co. Would be nice if, for once, Chapman doesn't murder us.

OUT: Wonaeamirri (not match-fit), Macdonald (Warnock is better than him)

IN: Bate, Bruce

So Warnock is better than MacDonald who you want to drop, but you won't bring Warnock back in? :wacko:

Warnock is easily in our best 18. He didn't play due to matchups this week and probably due to some soreness. Next week we'll have Mooney and Pods to worry about, and he will play if he's anywhere near full fitness.

I'm actually a bit shocked that people don't think we will not bring him straight back in. He and Frawley are our best defenders.

Tonight's game must have been about as energy sapping a game as you can get.

IMO we need to make a few changes simply to allow for this factor. Bring in a few who missed tonight and who will be fresh for next week and give a few a lighter load in the VFL or off the park altogether next week.

I think Jordan Gysberts might be a big chance to come in for Jordie McKenzie or Tom Scully (reiterate - resting purposes, not for form).

Agreed Aussie might need to go back to Casey to get some match fitness up.

Fortunately, we are developing some depth and there are going to be lots of players in the mix for Saturday's game at Skilled.

Clearly I intended to bring him in or I wouldn't have mentioned him at all. I'm not sure who else to drop though. I wouldn't bring in Bruce, but we can't fool ourselves that the FD would leave him out. I guess that there'll be someone who doesn't pull up well from the game, and that'll be the person who misses. I'm with you re Warnock. I think he's mega important and wouldn't think twice about bringing him in next week. I just forgot to include him in our INS. I hope the FD don't make the same mistake.

Warnock has to come back, for either rivers or garland. i'd say Rivers.

We need someone to support Jamar (great effort tonight). Lets try Spencer in the ruck and Jamar up forward, same as the Carlton match last year. It's only the Cats at Geelong, lets try it.

If Bate is fit we also can bring him back, possibly for wonna. They may also drop Garland for a ruckman, but Garland will be a long term player. It's very hard to reach top form without a decent pre-season.

Maybe Gysberts in to give McKenzie or Scully a rest, however i think Gysberts will play his 1st game against either Carlton or Collingwood, as both games are at the G.

next week we have the cats at skilled stadium...i would prefer to take fit and ready players rather than people on debut down there...would be a hell of a first game...for a bloke like gsyberts...serious...there is no rush to bring him in...watts needs the run though.

I agree Jack some players will not come up next week after tonights game. Expect some youngsters to miss with "general soreness". Aussie can also now go and get fit at Casey now that the promotional exercise is over.

Without doubt we will need to rest a number of players, and I'm sure some of the boys will pull up better than others, so a lot of the decisions about Ins and Outs will no doubt be left till later in the week.

Gysberts has to get a game soon, while Warnock and Bate are walk-up starts if fit. Spencer or Martin have to support Jamar, before he has a heart attack on the field.

Geelong played at the G on Friday, so they have an extra day rest and they played in good conditions. Fit and fresh players will probably be more important next week than necessarily having the most potentially talented players out there. This is where guys like Bail, Strauss, Cheney, Maric and so forth might be in with a chance. We are better off giving them a run than play guys who will struggle to run out the second half of the game. Even just a 10 minute snooze from us next week will result in a 100 point thrashing.

In: Warnock and Bruce. Out: 2 of Rivers, Garland, MacDonald or Morton.

In: Spencer Out: Wona - Wona didn't do much tonight, Bennell and Jetta have him covered and we need a back up for Jamar

Possibly

In: Bate or Gysberts Out:A young midfielder just for a rest, McKenzie probably, or Scully

IN: Bate, Bruce, Dunn (2nd ruckman/utility), Warnock

OUT: Bartram, Rivers, Wonna, McKenzie (purely for a rest after a taxing game, if Moloney is suspended then keep him in).

People want Bartram out, but think of who we are playing next week. You take out Bartram and who plays on Burns, Stokes and Varcoe?

They have plenty of smalls who can hurt us... well they have 22 players who will hurt us, but Bartram is our best small defensive option right now.

I'd have Garland on Pods, Warnock on Mooney and Frawley on Steve Johnson. Bartram takes Burns and you can have MacDonald on Varcoe and Grimes on Stokes.

Rivers will have no match up next week as far as I can see, because all of Geelong's forward will kill him on the lead.

Wonna needed to play this week to continue building his fitness, I agree he looked a underdone, but he was effective, Casey didn't play today, so Wonna would have missed a game setting back his fitness, &, we won.

I think we could say, the experiment just passed.

And Jimma has done it again. What a way to start to win that Darwin crew over.

Who do you give to Hawkins? I'd be looking at Rivers to take him when he's forward. Possibly even have him take Pods and Garland follow Hawkins around the ground. Who knows?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
