So Jamar isn't being 'rested' as some have suggested.

I was wondering if he was injured or something when I saw he was left out of the side. I'm liking that White is in the starting side. I have high hopes for the lad.

I think it's probably a bit to do with having a look at Spencer to see if he is up to it. He's had a good run of form at Casey and we need to know for sure if he can step up. It's make or break time for the big fella...

King not even starting in the ruck in the twos.

Given that we are entering Round 6, the thought of anyone needing a "rest" sickens me. Not sure how anyone (posters) could come up with that idea in the first place.

whos injured?

Trengove

Petracca

Frost

Kent

Viney

Jetta

Interesting to think we haven't got many injuries but 5 of the 6 would arguably walk straight into the side. A quarter of the team. Kent, Viney and Jetta were in the best prior to being injured. Hopefully Viney and Jetta are back next week.

Good to see Hunt starting back in the 2's. Hopefully he can develop into an AFL player for us.

I imagine this has been asked and answered before, but what's the role of the "23rd player"?

I hate barracking against the Zebras. I grew up next to that ground.

Go away St. Kilda. Let me enjoy Sandringham again.

Dam you AFL...

It allows a player from the TAC Cup or similar, under a certain age, to be given a run, without taking the spot of someone in the 22.

Someone else will be able to fill this in with more specifics..

Same boat mate, the first VFL games i went to where back when the Zebras were winning everything in sight

Great club. I still check their scores but i can't get passionate whilst the Aints have infected them!!

Just a heads up, nice bit With Plapp at HT on the Broadcast. Mate went down there to film it, from all reports he is really popular and the system down at Casey is run super professionally.

Thanks DemonDave. Just to go one step further, is the 23rd player an additional interchange player or a substitute? If a substitute, is this as well as or instead of the 22nd player being the substitute?

I don't think they have substitutes in the VFL.

He is an additional player. He must be 20 years or younger and must not have been previously listed by a VFL/AFL club.

And he can only play a certain amount of games as the 23rd player (10 I think). The idea is to bring the younger guys up and see how they adapt. Younger Heppell was 23rd a lot last year.

Unless they've changed it, the number is 3.

Has been playing forward this year, and has actually show a little. Doesn't mean anything that he's not in the ruck.

Most teams are able two play two ruckman (or a good second ruck) - we don't really have that luxury so Jamar has probably had a high work load.

He also seemed to fade out last year so I don't think it would be a bad idea (against the Swans) - if he goes down with an injury we could be in some trouble.

He is listed at Casey though - maybe he will play 50% or as a resting forward.

Never really had much faith in Spencer (not sure about his tap work) - hope he takes his chance.

Have to say, looking at the team I struggle to see how Harmes will be offered another Rookie contract next year.

Have you actually seen him play? I've watched the last 2 Casey games, and aside from Stretch and ANB, he's shown more ability to be an AFL player than most. He got injured last week and may not play, which is why he's been named on the interchange. I'd definitely give him a rookie extension, and I'd keep him ahead of Bail, Jones, Riley and McKenzie.

Rather than look at the team, perhaps you might want to take a look at how he plays before making that call.
