Bad luck for Michael Evans. The letters TBA suggest some problems at least in the short term and it's a great pity because he would have been close to a promotion based on his last two or three games at Casey.

On the matter of injuries, I notice that the Bulldogs, who were close to full strength when they played us (bar Lake) have been decimated by injuries. Had we been drawn to play them this week rather than before the bye, we might have been a good chance to beat them.

It would have been nice to have played the Hawks without Rioli, Sewell and Lewis.

That's life, I suppose.

And now the cats are set to welcome back Mooney, Ling, Stevie J and I think one more big name. Oh well no good praying to just play depleted teams, no improvement will come from that! Then again maybe a little confidence. I'll take any wins at this stage.
