Will Martin get his chance back or will they give Cook a go....

Certainly Martin adds size, skill & ruck attribute to his game.

Or will they blood the youngster in Lucas Cook at full forward.

I think Martin may get the nod ahead but its a good time for Cook to step up.

Thoughts....?

Cook, please.

There's finally some structure and some discipline to this footy team.

Having Stef Martin in the team is like having a big labrador run through your freshly laid concrete.

 

Cook.

It's time to unwrap the cotton wool. You've got blokes like Cameron who is as skinny as Morton, Watts debuting as a stick insect- injuries can happen to anyone- just ask Clark FFS :(

Unleash the cookie monster. It's time, I'm growing impatient. Been looking forward to his debut ever since we drafted him and I need something to look forward to now after the bad news we just recieved

JR did you see him on saturday?

Cook is still a skinny kid who looks average at Casey.

He would get killed by the Lions back line as well as be pushed out of the road by an average size backman.

He would be as imposing as the sea gulls that wander around during the breaks.

If cook is to make it at AFL level he has to do a lot more yet at Casey.

First step would be to put on 20KG.

IMO it is Martin In, there is no one else at present, all the other possibilities are injured or not fit enough for a full game at AFL level.

So it is your Labrador I am afraid

That is a really poor reason to play him SMF.

Cameron is played by GWS because there is no one else and the kid has talent.

Watts was played too early and we know what happened he should not have played till the following year.

Cook is the same, it is 2013 when he is up to playing with men.

Don't feed him to the Lions because you are impatient.

Good point.

Old dee I don't think it matters if he gets pushed around a bit, this season is shot. If we wait for him to put on another 20kg we will never see him play.

Time to start getting games into him now!

 

Cookie is miles too small and should play out the year at Casey. Martin for mine.

Or give the Fitz a run at perma-FF, he knows how to play it.

Cook is skinny at 196cm and 86kg, Cameron & Watts only 3kg heavier, but from reports has been doing well at Casey kicking a couple of bags and on different days presenting and marking well.

Sometimes a step up in competition can make people improve quicker also. I couldnt imagine good delivery at VFL level either.

Having said that if its Martin I would also be supportive. :)

We are going to disagree on this one SMF.

I think it matters a lot.

Cook is seriously under size

Playing too early could ruin him.

If the season is shot then why risk him?

Let him play at Casey for 2012.

Oh for Darling right now!!!

Agree on one Striker

Fitzpatrick is under done follow his illness he only played Casey 2nds on the weekend.

I doubt we will see him at AFL level for some time yet.

If we were in the running for anything this year I would say Martin, but we aren't. We aren't going to make finals, it doesn't matter how many more games we win, so get some games into the kids.

Cook doesn't have to be the replacement for Clark, I just want him in the forward line getting a taste. This week I would bring in Cook and Tapscott to replace Clark and Moloney. I would play keep Tappy and Sylvia around the forward line to make Cookie walk taller.

Don't you start!!!!! :lol:

That was quick Hells gate

Just threw it in for a little fun.

Tonight we need a little humour.

Amazing how quickly things have changed in just 24 hours.

High to despondent


Old dee- yes Cook is undersized, but playing him too early isn't going to ruin him.

This isn't the 80's :P

MFC Site has him at 81kgs not 86kgs.

Can't say I watched the entire game, but, from all reports it was a 'difficult' day for all.

I understand where you're coming from, but given the choice, Cook has great hands and he's a converter - Stef has always had the yips.

Yeah mate that hasnt been updated since the start of the year. It has Watts at 91kg when he is actually 89kg & I know Lucas is 86kg. :)

I doubt that Neeld will want to play someone that needs a couple of minders, if he can't look after himself he shouldn't be there.

This is starting to look like the "play Juice campaign" we had on here and on Ology, it was only after we did that we found Juice was where he should be, at Casey.

Yeah someone on this forum who knows the ground well said it was a shocking ground for forwards down at Sandy, quite narrow from memory. Cook has been doing well in different roles.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
