[chook fowler 18,392]

out: JKH, Watts, McKenzie

in: Jetta, Dawes, Riley

[Ethan Tremblay 28,536]

Agree with all.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

out: JKH, Watts, McKenzie

in: Jetta, Dawes, Riley

JKH needed to use the first option more but at least he created opportunities.

That problem has been a constant feature of his play and needs to be ironed out at Casey.

Thought JKH tried enough, about our player who tries to be creatve.

Agree that Watts needs a spell now, the fear has to be will he ever bounce back. Is it worth Watts having a sit and moving Howe back forward? He did alright when he was today. Consider keeping grimes when Jetta comes back.

McKenzie is shocking. When is Viney back?

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

A midfielder who gets 12 touches and places limited defensive pressure. Looks good when he gets it but doesn't find the pill enough.

our highest disposal count was Cross with 21. so some perspective needs to happen.

At least Newton looks dangerous.

[Jaded No More 59,134]

Viney any chance?

[barneymfc 152]

watts ,tried to keep the support for him ,but really today destroyed it all

[Young Dee 1,303]

out: JKH, Watts, McKenzie

in: Jetta, Dawes, Riley

I think Bail is probably a better option then Riley. Riley has shown nothing at AFL level and is basically like McKenzie.

Bail has shown he can play as small forward, kick a few goals and run through the middle. He also brings good aggression.

[chook fowler 18,392]

Viney any chance?

We need him badly - so much for him not being in our top 10 most important players

[DeeZee 6,853]

Bail needs to fill that Kent role so I'd pick him

Dawes and Jetta need to come back and I'd give Toumpas a chance.

Outs...Watts,JKH,Mckenzie and Michie.

[jackaub 1,402]

Admittedly I spent the first half in the blazer bar watching the fight but I would like to see Watt's tackle count today before dropping him. I thought I saw him stick a couple. From reading all the training reports that is the area of his game they are really working on. If he is improving on that we have to keep him in. We know he uses it well when is and running.

How many pints did you have before making that assessment?

Yeah nah..

No more excuses

Interesting Stretch was the spare today. Given our lack of pace he might be considered. I believe he can kick as well.

For the record, Watts had 3 tackles today.

For context, Michie and McKenzie had 0, Pedersen, Cross, Tyson, Hogan and Dunn had just 1, Salem, Vince and Garland and 2.

With McDonald, Howe, Jones and Grimes on 3, that puts Watts in our top half for tacklers.

There is plenty to dislike about Watts right now, but tackling at least isn't one of them. I'd be wondering why Michie, Cross, Tyson and Vince laid just 4 between them.

[Demon3 2,541]

I have it on authority that Jetta has been asked to rest for more than 1 week.. 6 concussions suffered since Xmas has doctors saying a 6 week break might be better. Jetta though reportedly wants only 1 week off. It's a fine line.

[Bobby McKenzie 2,206]

What did Michie do wrong to be dropped? He provides hardness in the packs.

[Deespicable 2,567]

A bit early to tell with confidence before a verdict on Salem, but if he went off with concussion from the late attempted spoil in middle of ground by Taverner (I think), then you would have to assume he'll miss one.

There are a lot of players under the microscope this week but I suspect there'll just be 3 or 4 changes.

1) Salem out for Jetta.

2) Stretch (23rd man) in for McKenzie.

3) Dawes (if fit) in for the only under-performing tall forward that we have - Watts. If Dawes is not fit, then Spencer/Gawny come in to play for Watts.

4) Riley (24th man and best in reserves) maybe in for Michie or Newton. Newton may have a few more runs on board, meaning Viv will be the unlucky fourth.

JKH to get one last chance to shine, with Stretch the sub.

B: Jetta Dunn Garland

HB: Grimes T-Mac Howe

C: Lamumba Vince Cross

HF: Brayshaw Dawes Vanders

F: Garlett Hogan Tyson

6 weeks?!?!?!

Put a helmet on him and get him out there.

(Obviously I'm joking and his health comes first!)

[What 18,810]

OUT - WATTS

[Slartibartfast 16,021]

our highest disposal count was Cross with 21. so some perspective needs to happen.

At least Newton looks dangerous.

Which one of his 12 possessions at 66% efficiency in 83% game time. But of course McKenzie, with 9 in 42% game time and 78% disposal efficiency is definitely out. Don't let the facts get in the way of your bias.

Reality is we are embarrassed with options for those to drop. Newton was found wanting today and has been disappointing so far this season.

wow. What about the goals he kicked this season. Were they disappointing too?

[Mydee 288]

OUT - WATTS

Tedious and unnecessary

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,333]

wow. What about the goals he kicked this season. Were they disappointing too?

He is a mid playing good game time and aside from the odd goal is having little to no impact on the contest.
