Frawley for Dawes

Michie - Matt Jones

Snowflake's chance in hell Matt Jones will be dropped.

I'd love to see Kent back in the team, possibly for Salem to let him get some touches in the VFL.

    Matt Jones is No chance of being dropped.

    Jetta I think will come in at Toumpas expense as Nev has the speed to stay with Ports small forward's and always seems to relish playing up there.

    Gawn I think should stay - his ruck work to Vince for the goal was a beautiful thing.

    Frawley in for Dawes.

    If Jones junior isn't born early then We'll need to replace him, so Kent or Jetta to come in.

    Other than that no change.

  • Quote

    I thought Jones2 played very well, as he's done most of the year. Another of the clear improvers to date.

  • Quote

    How can Salem sub if he's replaced by Kent?

    Cunning plan to play 23 men

    My bad.

    I don't know what I was thinking...

    Is there a doctor in the house?

    Induce the future father son this week.

    Seems some on here don't quite get how highly valued Matt Jones is by the coaches. His work rate in providing run and linking from half back is singular in this team, and it's very hard to remember when he didn't come away with the pill in a 'one on one' contest. He is the kind of competitor and role player that PR loves. Yes, he can turn it over, but this is a diminishing weakness, and matters much less than his qualities. However, that appears to be all some see.

    What do we do with Grimes?

    He was very poor yesterday, almost a liability.

    Wish he could put a bit more weight on. He gets pushed aside to easily.

    Not according to Roos - he was one of our best.

  • Quote

    I would definitely not drop Riley. He was not subbed out due to poor performance. Like any other player coming off a serious injury he is being managed. Give him a fair go.

    I'd probably be looking at giving Salem a rest, but i wouldnt argue if he stayed in the team.

    In: Frawley, Michie

    out: Dawes, Salem

    Toumpas looked ok on the weekend, worked his way into it. I'd give him another game, but also wouldnt be surprised if he went back to the two's. If so, i'd bring Kent in

  • Quote

    Agree give Salem a rest. I think first year players need to be managed through the year.

    In Jetta and frawley

    Out Dawes and Salem

    Having a girl....

  • Quote

    Jones said his wife is only 34 weeks along. Unfortunately she's unlikely to go early. First pregnancies rarely do, so he's definitely in this week.

    Let's hope the baby comes mid week... And that the ultrasound was wrong and it's a boy (it can happen!)

    In: Jetta, Frawley

    Frawley for Dawes is straightforward if Frawley is fit. Think Salem needs full games at Casey to develop his match fitness and make sure he's not over exposed. Don't like having both Salem and JKH starting because we might be short of run. JKH deserves to start games. Salem is wasted as the sub, he's had enough goes as sub. Toumpas becomes the sub. Jetta comes back in. I'm not convinced on Aidan Riley just yet. I don't know if he can run out a full game (yet alone against Port) but the reality is we wont know until he tries. He did play reasonably well and was hard and tough as advertised. I've got memories of him in (late) preseason blowing up doing 300m sprints with Viney and doing a lot of walking and low speed running to build up fitness. But I'm hoping the time spent at Casey built his footy fitness.

    It wasn't a joke.

    So you think that everyone here thinks I know nothing?

    Other than your best bud Ben Hur, I don't think you would find a sane individual on here to agree with you.

    If you have a problem, PM me.

    Or just suck it up and keep it to yourself.

  • Quote

    What do we know about Frawleys toe/ hamstring? Wouldn't count on him being ready. What happens then - ? Fitz - apparently went OK at Casey.

  • Quote

    frawley for dawes- pretty straight forward

    toumpas for jetta- there but for a case of the trots, jimmy wasn't quite significant enough to hold the spot

    salem for evans- kent/michie/mckenzie stiff. evans is a good runner who can play through the mids and kick goals

    i don't think salem or toump played particularly badly but they did seem to contribute less than others and there have been some massive efforts for casey lately which deserve reward

    Was going to comment and got a headache trying to figure it out. So give up lol.

    Why would you rest Salem ? I wouldnt thought he needs it, specially with the bye.

    Jetta to come back in but for whom ? tough one.

    Frawley in for the suspended Dawes is the only one I can think of.

    Everyone is contributing, so going to be interesting to see.

    Roos is clearly in the mindset of making as few unforced changes as possible - however, Jetta lost his spot through illness, he had earned that spot and deserves it back

    don't know why everyone wants to drop Salem and Toomp though, I would have thought pigdog would be the appropriate victim

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
