Changes v Lions

No, because i'm guessing he would have played under the same conditions whilst living in Fiji.

Only if he played in the under 3's.

[mitch 127]

I'm sure he did.

[stuie 7,374]

I'm sure he did.

[mitch 127]

Not serious..

[stuie 7,374]

Not serious..

Ok, I'm sure then.

Is the Fijian league a good league? Comparative to the NTFL.

Ok, so the meme above now relates to anyone talking about Rodan and Fiji.

[Deespicable 2,548]

Are you Spencils brother?He is really not in the mix.

Rest Howe-never.

Blease out?he is our best run and carry player.

MckEnzie is out because he cannot kick the ball to another Melbourne player.

I agree with you on Nicho because at the moment he is a three goal player-not for us.

Barry no.

Jetta yes-play him out to see if the glimpses were just that.

Biffo,

It's all about team balance and I reckon they will have realised after Geelong game that they erred in picking a dry-weather side, so they will probably correct it a bit with a bit more grunt - hence McKenzie and Viney. I'd prefer Magner to McKenzie but they don't seem inclined to go to Jimmy for some reason.

Dom Barry is a local Darwin boy and Aaron Davey is a god up there and this particular game is about promotion.

That's why Davey can't be dropped this week and Barry (at very least) will be emergency, but I suspect he'll actually be made the sub.

It doesn't worry me if Kent or Blease make room for Davey this week, because they both will be back in the following week after they've given Barry a taste.

If you saw the St Kilda game, you'll know Spencer is a monte to come in - the only decision is whether Fitzy or Gawn comes out.

As for Howey, I think he's everyone's favourite player, but I reckon he picked up injury a few weeks back against Pies (think he got heavy knock to abdomen area) and has lost a bit of his running ability as a result.

Hopefully he's right.

Jetta's had four season of glimpses and has had his chance - he's skilled but ultimately he's too slow and can't kick long enough to be dangerous.

So is Lucas Cook.

Also, Magner has been ineligible to be selected since Grimes was reinstated to the senior list

Hate to burst your bubble, Deespicable, but Gawn had nearly 50 hitouts last week and laid 7 tackles. He ain't coming out. Neither is the guy who has been a revelation the last few weeks and can actually play around the ground.

[The Yarra 83]

Viney & Tapscott in defence for Kent & Nicho.

[titan_uranus 22,365]

Whilst Spencer is now eligible, I can't see why we'd play him. Gawn is doing well at the moment, as is Fitzpatrick. Tough for Spencer who looked good in the St Kilda, but that's how it is.

Pedersen's playing good consistent VFL form, and maybe is worth a run over Dunn, who is a useless spud. But then we'd probably just be swapping spuds for spuds.

Yeah and for mine Dunn lifted his level from complete spud to intermediate spud last week so I'd say he's safe for now.

Although the players always lose a few kg's in Darwin so it might be the perfect match for Pedo.

Genius

[Nasher 33,047]

Taggert (worth a look at AFL level).

The VFL is the place to 'look' at players.

[Dee-licious 1,800]

I assume Dunn will be given the job on Rocky/Hanley as they rotate in the forward line so I dont think he will go.

I think Barry will play, had a good game in the 2's and we are going to Darwin.....Rodan got injured so without him having a run last week I would want to get him through a game in Casey to see him play a game to get recalled.

To be honest I am expecting Barry to go up as an emergency and be a late change to be the sub.

In: EMG: Barry, Viney, Pedersen

Out: EMG McKenzie, Rodan, Pedersen

[What 18,810]

out - Dunn, Nicho

in - Viney, Davis

Watch the 60 metre goal that Billie Smedts kicked last week to see why Lynden Dunn has no place in this team, or even at Casey. He is absolutely clueless, has no idea about positioning and cant even read a simple play.

The biggest spud in the AFL.

I have to agree with this, Dunn has no idea. I'm not a fan of Nicho but he seems to run to the right positions and have the ability to carry the football, just a shame he can't kick.

Strauss needs to come in, give him 5 games to show if he can play. The other reason is Strauss is more defensive than Clisby, Terlich and Dunn, if Strauss can lock down the most offensive small/Mid Forward, Clisby and Terlich can attack and we know Strauss is effectinve if he gest the footy.

Viney shouldn't come in, no reason to rush him back, another game at Casey will benefit him more than playing in Darwin.

[Crackers 67]

Hate to burst your bubble, Deespicable, but Gawn had nearly 50 hitouts last week and laid 7 tackles.

Dawson Simpson got 55 hitouts. They broke even.Gawn is not a lock. Might bevworth using Spencer instead of Gawn as Spencer covers the ground better and the humidity will sap the energy from the players.

Come on!

All true. Just for the record his Geelong opponent had more hit outs >55. Thanks to all the stoppages in the wet.

No way, when was the last time he was in the top 10 players in a MFC side?

Remember this a side that cannot beat time with a stick.

He is not trying to bust into Hawthorn or Geelong's line up.

The main reason we are so poor is we have poor players, Strauss is right up there in the "Not Good enough catagory"

Mind you he has a lot of mates, stays at Casey IMO

[baysidedave 246]

You know he's been playing forward yeah? You do also know we had the lowest inside 50s count on the weekend since the stat was recorded?

Just saying.

exactly, no-one in the forward line touched it
