Changes vs the Tigers

OUT: Green, Macdonald, McKenzie, Sellar, Bennell

IN: Tapscott, Moloney, Morton, Couch, Tynan

Green is gawn; Macdonald is too slow, too short and his disposal is wretched; McKenzie can't dispose of the ball properly and is still not fit enough because of his injury; Sellar only came in to match it with the WCE talls; Bennell has no idea or willingness to get the ball

Tapscott is hard at it; Moloney is still our best midfielder, and as long as he hasn't cracked the sads, and is one of the few senior players who has a shot of taking us forward; Morton is just a hail-mary, hope-he-shows-something selection; and Couch has had some good form of late; and Tynan should never have been dropped.

Is Sylvia a chance of playing next round? If so, then he's straight in, perhaps for Colin Garland, who's been woeful all year.

I saw the first half after the first 15 minutes. Then the bar witch from the west got me dragged for me complaining about her 2 weeks a go. Barman apologised to me again re her, told me he couldn't serve me but let me stay until the boys in blue came an hour later. Barmen asked me if I wanted a beer 10 minutes before the boys turned up. I needed an ATM so He gave me a wink & said, "My shout".

I'm going to take it further next week.

The teams: Green was quiet again I think. McKenzie should be Sub, with his lack of fitness base, although that may put him back further. Maybe your right, he should get fit with Casey, but I can't think of anyone who'd be better.

I'd keep Sellar for height balance & it frees up Frawley to matchup on others tall or small. IMO the Rivers/ JMcDonald/ Garland thing isn't working. TMac looked OK, encouraging.

So, I'd bring in the likes of Morton for run, Davey for run & pace, Martin in, Moloney if fit? Couch for McKenzie, leave Green for one more, Maybe Bail goes out for Tynan, Bennell > Sub:

Not Morton, please. I don't want to see him play again.

Morton is better than half the blokes we have in there at the moment.

At least he has a bit of run and good disposal.

We need more VFL players

Well at least in Magners case he just plays footy unlike our overpaid players

I agree we should look further afield the sooner the better

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
