Not so much OD. After his second (IMO) [censored] poor game I thought Jack would get a holiday - although I didn't post this.

Then Roos came out and said (words to the effect) that Jack wasn't the major issue. That made it clear that Jack would play. I don't understand this, but I'm not going to question PR - obviously.

However, I reckon he needs to put in a blinder this week!

Would be good if he showed some god dam aggression and repay Roos faith in him.

First time in a long time that I can recall that I would be happy with any of those emergencies in the firsts.

Howey training with the backs again?

Realistically I think we'll need Dawes, Frawley, Howe and Watts forward in order to kick something close to a winning score this weekend. Not being scored against seems to be more important than scoring at the moment, but let's not forget the overall objective.

Should have been dropped

Any known injury clouds suggesting late changes?

I wonder HM emergencies they take over? If only one I would guess Riley.

When do Scorpions play?

Who was it got the corky in the buttock late in the game... Vince? How did he pull up?

Should have been dropped

Apparently a 100% certainty...

Better luck guessing next time

Moving well at training today, should be OK, I think.

Obviously the coach thinks otherwise.

McKenzie's 20 something pocessions and 9 tackles for Casey must have been ineffective.

But he is always right

McKenzie's 20 something pocessions and 9 tackles for Casey must have been ineffective.

From the reports it was a reasonable performance in a terrible team effort.

Unfortunately for him I think he is going to struggle to get games under Roos.

Just not AFL standard IMO

P-Man, the overall objective is the same in your mind as it is in Roos', just that you have different routes to get to your destination.

You believe that we need to kick a higher score than our opponent.

Roos believes you need to keep your opponent under your score.

Same same but different.

Apart from being our leading goalkicker?

Not exactly, he's fighting it out with Frawls and Dawesy who also have five (5).

Millsy's 2008 AFL Club-Low Record of 26 is in serious danger of being eclipsed.

When was the last time a Demons team had no changes?

Well i certainly was in the should be dropped camp. That said i'm strangely happy that Roos has decided not to. For one thing he played a complete dead bat to suggestions he might be dropped and immediately took the air out of the watts wrong with watts clamour. I am of the firm belief that Watts problem is related his confidence. Dropping would have reinforced to him that he is no good.

But also perhaps going back to the twos would helps JW avoid scrutiny. I know this is a bit of a contradiction of my previous point but maybe playing under the glare of of senior footy is more helpful than running around at Casey.

I trust Roos to take the right approach and if this it it then terriifc.

Bum is officially bitten ?

I said he should be dropped as well binman.

I was referring to some who were definite that he would be dropped.

I hope M Jones has another blinder.

Watts, Byrnes and Terlich need to lift.

To be honest I'm kind of glad they are all playing this week. It will be a bit of fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me but at least there will hopefully be a definitive answer from all of this; If they don't lift - that's it.

No ins or out but there are some positional changes and emergencies are also telling.

Positional changes ?

Surely you don't look at how the positions of players in any teams are selected in and read anything to that at all ?

at any other club it would have been 100%

and you know it should have been

Now you not only know what other posters think but also what other clubs would have done.

You have been officially promoted from club doctor to club nostradamus.

I think Saty asked him at training what he need to do - and the answer was - be more of a link player and kick goals. He can tag but needs more involvement - and I suspect that means "clean" involvement. Jordies problem is that he is not a two way runner. He has his good days and bad days defensively shutting down players but he doesn't spread and find easy uncontested ball when we are in possession.
