I said on Sunday straight after the Toiges game Chip was hobbling, hopefully I am wrong and my eyes deceived me, otherwise Warnock will play tomorrow & Chip will miss.

No doubt your eyes didn't deceive you, but nor does it mean that Frawley won't be playing.

Morton and Miller played.

Good win by Casey against a team that had a few names.

Well at least more established names. Another positive sign for us. Very keen to know how Blease went today after what I saw of him last week, live. I continue to rave about Blease because from what I see he will be a well established member of the Dees 22 by this time next year.

I was in the rooms after the game last week and chip looked fine...

The guy i was worried about was Jamar, but clearly he is playing...

If warnock plays and so does chip who comes out? IMO Garland (who should def keep his spot) isnt big bodied enough to play on roughhead or buddy...

Maybe Joel Mac or R. Bail to miss with Garland playing that running role while Warnock and Chip handle the twin towers...?

Very true. I hope to see Chip run out as I imagine you do. As important as Chip as quickly become it is relatively calming to have someone such as Warnock to fall back on.

Joel Mac will not be withdrawn unless injured. Our defence is rock solid at the moment and Joel is crucial in it.

Bail perhaps the unlucky one or maybe Warnock is simply on notice for if Chip doesn't pull up well on Game Day. The worst thing would be if Warnock played for Casey and then all of a sudden Chip is sore on Game Day and Warnock will need to play 2 full matches over 2 days!

Correct "Hannabal" when Casey plays on Saturday and Melbourne on Sunday someone misses out playing for Casey

Because the emergency player has to stay fresh in case there is a drop out in the Melbourne side before the game on Sunday.

Because Warnock did not play today does not mean he is the side for tomorrow.

This has happened in the past.

I think Warnock will miss out.

If they already knew that Frawley would not play Either Miller or Morton would not have appeared for Casey Today.

If Warnock was in for Frawley there would be no emergency player to cover a problem e.g. someone comes down with the flu tonight!

I think Frawley is playing!

I'll go with you Old Dee.

So, back to Casey, what was the final wash up of Grimes? Did he come back at any stage?

Other good players? Another good kicker to the Multi taken today, Casey paying $2.75 to Bullants $1.60, money for jam!

Which is at odds with your original statement.

Grimes did not come back on and hobbled off at the end of the game. He will not play for a couple more weeks a trainer stated.

Blease played OK, however his leg is still troubling him. A good rest and a big pre season will help though.

I really enjoyed Juice's game today - lifted when the match was in the balance.

Cheney played another blinder also.

Fitzpatrick surprised me - played quite well against some big boys.

Garland has stopped Franklin before. I see no reason why the job won't fall to him again.

Yes, in essence. I just liked the enthusiasm in the last line of old dee's post which was what I was referring to, in my own head anyway. I can see how answering old dee's post in that fashion could lead another person to summarise that I was going against my original statement when in fact I was not.

I do thank you though for picking up on that oversight and I will ensure to explain in full, explicit detail the reasoning behind each of my posts.

I do appreciate the policing you do around here though Hannabal, especially when it comes to hypocrisy or grammatically challenged posts. Keep up the good work.

Quite a few Melbourne players were there watching in the stands including James Frawley who looked to be walking around without any discomfort.

Franklin still kicked 3 against him.

Agree and all the coaches were there also.

You know... Warnock COULD possibly be coming in for another backman due to Hawthorn having some talls down back in Buddy, Roughead and Skipper who floats forward.

We have Garland, Joel Mac and Rivers who are mid-sized along with Frawley. Then there's Bartram and Bail (and Bennell too) who are "smalls".

We are not an overly tall backline so Warnock could come in to add height. All will be revealed...

Posted

Yep, three goals when Franklin was in Coleman winning form when we were on the bottom of the ladder.

I repeat, Garland has done the job on him before.

Yes, in essence. Keep up the good work.

No worries. If people didn't make silly comments my job would be a lot easier.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
