Changes for Round 4

Yes drop watts and dawes, bring in ? We don't have any other key forwards, many speak before they think about the attentive.

I wouldn't drop Watts, he is a valuable contributor. I would look at Pedersen for Dawes though.

If Dawes gets a game this week then it's in his court, Peders needs to keep the pressure on at Casey.

Dawes has always taken at least two or three games to get his touch back, when he has an injury interrupted period it makes his game stop and start, he has now had two games back, yesterday at training he looked really sharp, hopefully this Friday he will be on all cylinders, at least he has still been crashing and bashing

I hope he is 'TDI', it would help the cause no end if he had a big one on Friday.

I thought his first game back last season was his best, and I didn't think he came close to that game for the rest of the year sadly.

That said, he's a big body in the forward line, he is talented enough to require one of the two best defenders to mark him, and he is providing a foil for Hogan & Watts to snag a couple each which makes the forward line more potent.

disagree.

In the past 2 years Dawes has had injury interrupted preseason but did actually start really well but faded through the year.

Was suspended for one game this year, not injured.

Dawes is important but he hasn't been good enough this last 2 weeks

To nail my colors to the mast, lest i be accused of calling for his head and then being bagged after he stars against the tiges i do not think Dawes should be dropped. That said i'd drop him before dropping Watts

You're just lucky Mark Jackson didn't play HFF.

Wacko Jacko was just a crass full forward...!! Didn't have the class nor polish to be allowed anywhere near the HFF! LOL

Now, look here, Ernie!! Just because most of the posters on here are barely out of nappies and wouldn't have the foggiest idea about us great players of the past, it doesn't give you the right to rewrite history! I was CLEARLY far more talented than Bobby, a far better goal kicker, and WAY more important to the team! And, if there's anyone on here who really is so old that they remember us, and disagrees with my comments, then they are obviously suffering from senility!

So, just to put it clearly, Barrie Vagg was the greatest half forward flanker in the history of the MFC! (Written without even the slightest hint of modesty...)

Now Vaggie just you listen up! Modesty prevented me from replying to this earlier. You, a far better goal kicker than ME? Look at the stats. McKenzie 125 games for 252 goals (av. 2 goals a game). Tunbridge 117 games for 129 goals and you Barrie, 115 games for 132 goals. I was also better looking than you!!!! Good on you mate.

He really, reallllllly isn't.

Both figuratively and literally.

3rd wheel to open and protect space for JH.

Garlett would be our most productive atm.

Fans of a certain inside midfielder with the initials VM will be very happy with the only change to the team this week.

Roos rewarding players that knock down the door as promised, and not just making rash changes from one bad performance.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
