I wouldn't be dropping Salem tonatopia. For mine, with what little be did, e looks the goods.Depending on how Toumpas plays, I'd consider him or Blease for Byrnes. Edited by Return to Glory

I can't believe we just beat the Crows in Adelaide.

It's bloody unbelievable.

No negativity to any player this week please.

Fair call Ron.

PR,doesnt give games to reserve players unless warranted.

likes to stick with same 22 if possible.

learn how to defend a game together,and learn when and how to attack.

classic shutdown footy is a team thing and PR wont change things when everybody is sticking to the game plan.

macdonald is growing in confidence every game,lets not sweat on his mistakes yet.

Salem.may not have got big numbers but his pressure, tackling, bumping and shepherding was outstanding for a kid in his second game. I reckon he would have thrived had georgiou been subbed in the first instance.

Give him a full game.

I am amazed by the continual hope for Blease to get a game over player x. I think that horse is close to bolted and would take a mammoth turn around in the boy that I dont think he has in him.

Agreed. Has done nothing to speak of at Casey.

At the moment he is completely and utterly undeserving of a spot in the side, and as long as Brett Allison's reviews continue to say things like 'he needs to work on the defensive side of his game' he will remain undeserving.

Bit harsh on Frawley. He was injured. Presented.

Grimes : Gutsy & Great

Jetta : proving me and a few others wrong. Well done for persevering

JKH : Thought he was NAB /Foxtel flavour of the week. I was wrong !!!

Bail/Terlich/Dunn : Roman road builders (everything in a straight line)

Howe : Confidence returning

Watts : showed good heart and chased.Next step confidence return.

Coaching Staff : Patient & Progressive

Macca: Another dragon slain.

Dangerfield : dont need him ( he is good, though !!)

Jones/Dawes/Grimes : Leadership and courage

Viney: Learning from Cross

Cross: Great pickup because he plays with heart

Doesn't a win change attitude ???

Notice in last couple of weeks : no head dropping when things go awry.

Frawley - hampered early with injury, but gutsed it out and kept one of Crows best defenders busy

...and allowed us to keep the rotations going. Not his best day but he did his job under trying conditions...injury.

He now reminds me of Kane Tenace. Has the pace but could do little with it. Like you say - needs a mammoth turn around to retain his spot on the list.

I am surprised that some posters were unimpressed with Salem. The goal that he kicked when he was first substituted was inspiring! I am sure the Roos will select him again next week!

A la Blease I think we all live in hope, that is all. At least he was one of the picks from that abominable period where BP was calling the shots and he had an obvious weapon, that maybe BP actually saw, who knows. He is quick and gee do we ever need leg speed on the outside but unfortunately it seems Sam's brain will never catch up with his speed of body. And if after 5 years he is still learning to be defensive in the magoos well, let's just move on, which is a real shame.

I have watched him play in the VFL and he looks the goods but he so often wins the ball and unloads a spearing pass straight to the opposition. It is so frustrating.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
