Changes v West Coast

Recommended Posts

In a perfect world Gawn and Bail would get another week at Casey to settle in and Tappy would need to prove himself 2 weeks in a row, but we barrack for Melbourne so it's a far from perfect world!

Yes Gawn would get an extra week but jamar is so bad, we don't have that luxury.

Conservative approach long gone .... This as conservative as I can be.

Was at casey today .... See my post in the Casey v Frankston thread

Sellar, Gillies, Nicholson, Watts, Toumpas (like the kid but think four or five games in VFL would do him good.)

Pederson, Strauss, Bail, Evans, Jetta

Thin ice for many others - I'd love to include manger ! But who are we going to put on long term injury ! :)

In taggert gawn magnet barry

Well ...that's my laugh for the day. Unfortunately Taggert played in the 2's at Casey and didn't make the best in that match, Magna is back on the rookie list and not available, Barry doesn't like the contest at this stage and Big Max, well he would be a chance but I hope they don't pick him just yet. If Big Max is picked this week then the footy department should be accused of not looking after their players.

He might have to take it into his own hands at training this week.

Get rid of Jamar and Sylvia. Replace anyone who's marking time with someone who actually gives a [censored] about the colours and the club.

Int: Sellar Dunn Blease Evans

Not sure the exact ins and outs but there is a lot. I'm not keen on keeping Sylvia in the team but the bottom of the barrel was being scraped.

A very shallow comment Bobby. If you had read the site carefully today ( you can read I presume) you would have noticed that I had put aside and got over last night's anger. If you are going to make aggressive comments make sure you have the full facts. Otherwise you risk looking like a DH - as you just did.

What exactly was aggressive about my question? And what was aggressive about my FACTUAL statement? Who is really being aggressive now? Do you change your mind often?

Tappy kicks goals against Frankston,Woopee,he won't get a sniff against the Eagles,like Port last week.

We need to see 3-4 weeks of consistant performances instead up and down each week.

So you'd leave at the BOG for Casey when MFC gets beaten by 150 points?

Hmmmm....

Think it's unfair to keep Toumpas in the team any longer. His confidence will be absolutely shot with any more games like last night's and we'd only be hurting his future development.

edit: grammar

What position did Tappy play today?

Also Toumpas needs a couple of weeks at Casey to get some more experience

My understanding is that he played predominantly up forward.

Agreed. We ruined Cale Morton by giving him games he didn't deserve, and I don't want the same thing to happen to Jimmy Toumpas.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
