[dee-luded 2,958]

HAHAHA!! i liked that.... Iwont be backin anything hes riding though!!

[biggestred 4,377]

out morton in davey depending on how he went at casey.

[Chicken Deelicious 0]

Out: Morton. He got in the contest, but it seemed every time he touched it, Port got a goal. Check Scully and others who don't pull up well after the conditions.

Ins: ?? - No mention of Davey At Casey (did I miss something?). No direct path to the firsts - needs to return via Casey and ensure he has fitness and touch.

[dee-luded 2,958]

Fev in, Morts out

I think the key this week is the outs.

I think Morton will be dropped unless we don't care about the finals. I think Nicholson will be Sub: or rested for poss' Evans/Jetta/Davey

I think Scully looks likely to miss.

And I wonder if Davis is getting close to a game?

[Sir Why You Little 34,957]

You did notice Strauss repeatedly running back with the flight and getting a fist to the ball right? His defence was really good tonight.

I agree, i thought Strauss was really solid last night, helped out chip frawley many times.

I have given him some stick before, but last night i thought he defended well.

[Bay Riffin 1,427]

I think it is more important that Strauss limits his opponent and the rebound will come. His defensive work last night was very good.

I think you have it right, his job and the way he goes about it at present reminds me of Frawley when he first started, he had pace and was learning to just do a shut down role. Helping out teammates and doing some grunt work. Once Frawley gained confidence to defend, he then he started being more and more creative as his confidence built. it may happen for Strauss.

I like Strauss effort tonight, there seems to be a lot of team work happening in our backline and Rivers, Frawley are starting to team ok with him there.

I reckon the coaches are happy as he is developing his weaknesses at present. Actually thought the same about Cale last night and neither set the world on fire mind you.

While Strauss did some useful things, his opponent got 20 touches and kicked two goals.

I thought he and Nicholson vied for worst-on-ground honours.

[Grandson of a gun 276]

Don't think we will see too many changes.

Davey didn't play today so definitely not in next week.

Joel Mac has missed too many games to come straight back in.

The 3 emergencies had their bye week this week (given they all played at Casey last week)

Possible to see Blease, Evans and Barty come in.

Possible outs of Scully (inj), Nicholson, Morton?

What were your thoughts on morton?

[Deano74 156]

No change except for injuries etc

[KC from Casey 6,673]

Aaron Davey didn't play today. I don't think he can go straight into the AFL without at least one VFL game and the Casey Scorpions have a bye next week.

Catch 22?

I'd rather Strauss continue progressing this year, than start to progress next year.

In the scheme of a premiership list, we are still in development and that should take precedence over going for outright winning towards finals this year. I think the footy dept seem to be ontrack.

I'm relieved to see Straussy coming on nicely so far this season. A breath of fresh air.

With Tappy, Strauss & I think we need Bartram in the backs as well, with Frawley, Rivers & Garland,,, thats a fairly well looking defence to grow.

Catch 22?

What about Davey off the bench for 2 1/2, - 3 Qtrs with Nicholson/Evans to Sub:

No.

Davey has no match fitness and form before injury was appalling. Must have a week at Casey.
