Tyson was better off playing a full game at Casey to gain some match fitness not as the sub.. And no Brayshaw will not be rested this week. I dare say they will be managing his workloads during the weeks anyway

Sometimes you got to select the team to win.

I'm all for management (Brayshaw this week) but Tyson could have been the difference in the last.

What's better for the team- QB win or Tyson regaining match fitness at Casey?

To the people saying drop Toumpas, yes he made a few poor decisions, but overall he actually had a decent game. He had 21 disposals, 8 contested, 80% efficiency, 5 score involvements, 4 clearances, 3

Say what you like about Garland being scarred or not being able to overcome the mental demons of the past few years. He played 3 quarters of footy with a broken hand! That is commitment and takes some

I understand the resting Brayshaw philosophy.. But there is a bye around the corner and the evidence is pretty clear, the kid is getting better and running out games better than early in year. He is the exact type that gets more out of playing.

Orrrrr Tyson could have re-injured himself seeing the sub ended up playing half the game.

How does that go for your "management" policy?

I wonder how long before Kent and Frost become "season"

They have been five weeks ever since they were injured.

There is only 12 weeks to go.

Kent was originally 10-12 weeks... Misson has said all along he has been ahead of schedule but by the time 5 weeks is up and he regains match fitness thats 8 weeks, might be back for the last 3 or 4 games

I bow to your superior knowledge JV7

Those figures look season ending to me.

My management policy is pretty simple:

First year player- perhaps don't rely on him to win games Hogans Heros.

Fourth year player- is given plenty of time to recover, bring in as sub to help win important game.

Irrelevant about further injury, that could happen anywhere. Match fitness? Team win first.

Which players would make us better?

Chris Dawes - POSSIBLY

Sam Frost - POSSIBLY

Jay Kennedy-Harris - NOT AT THIS STAGE

Dean Kent - YES

Christian Petracca - ONE WOULD ASSUME YES

Christian Salem - YES

Jack Trengove - HOPEFULLY, POSSIBLY, BUT WHO KNOWS IF HE EVEN CAN RETURN

Aaron vandenBerg - YES

I doubt many agree with me re JKH, but I feel he still has a lot to learn and improvement to make before he is in our current best 22.

Tyson hasn't played since round 7 and has missed large chunks of seasons due to injury.

You say management and then you say "team win first". Ridiculous.

you could argue that at the start of the year next year:

B: Jetta - Dunn - Garland

HB: Howe - T. McDonald - Salem

C: vandenBerg - N Jones - Vince

HF: Watts - Dawes - Kent
F: Frost - Hogan - Garlett

Foll: Gawn - Tyson - Viney

I/C: Trengove - Brayshaw - Petracca

Sub: JKH

is our best 22...

(cross presumably having retired.)

easily arguable that if not best 22, those injury list players would be in our top 25.

Looks a pretty decent 22 - dream that they may all get on the park together

Christian Salem has apparently re injured his other hamstring and could miss another 4 weeks.

Is this fact or are you talking out of your ass again like you were regarding Vineys scans?

Stuie, management isn't only taking the safest option.

If Tyson played as sub instead of M Jones do you think the result might be different? I'd say there's a significant chance. M Jones isn't an impact player, Tyson is.

People here want Roos to stop making excuses, start going after wins. I agree with that, certainly to the extent of putting Tyson in that position.

That game is over - I'm saying resting Brayshaw will be considered but is a totally different case to Tyson.

I think most supporters will lose interest for the foreseeable future if we drop this game:-

In - Dom Tyson, Jack Grimes

Out - Aaron vandenBerg (injured) , Matt Jones

Speak for yourself. We are a team in transition and the reality is we are transitioning to the Goodwin era. There are a host of things to be of great interest to the serious supporter that understands winning is only one goal of this period. I look forward to much more in every game and I will do so to the end of the year.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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
