Out: JKH

Not sure if we give the young blokes more of a rest in Neal-Bullen, Stretch Harmes etc.. if so

In: Salem, Grimes, Michie, Newton

Out: JKH, Neal-Bullen, Stretch, Harmes

Salem? Is he ready?

What about Kent?

I think, for this week at least, Stretch and Harmes are safe. JKH and ANB would be the logical players to miss, with possibly a Michie/Newton/Riley to replace them to give them a rest for the week.

I can't see Roos making 4 changes to a winning side.

No way Salem next week. Couple of the young ones looking tired so time to rotate them out. JKH has not made the most of his two weeks in.

Neither can I but the four mentioned were poor Jhk and ANB definately did not earn their spots.

I honestly don't think Grimes is coming back.

JKH had a shocker, no doubt about that. He is clearly struggling at the moment and it wouldn't surprise to see him dropped.

ANB has plenty of upside but, after being the sub, you would think he might have a rest in the magoos as well.

We have a few who can replace their current output, such as Toumpas, Michie or Newton as well, so it would make sense to make 2 changes and stick with the rest.

Purely speculation but let's be honest,

- ex captain

- senior player

Plenty of opportunities for him to have played this year and has been left out. I think the coaches have moved on.

JKH should spend the rest of the year at Casey learning to take the first and best option rather than trying to do the flashy stuff.

In Hunt.

Be interesting to see what they do with Jamar.

Salem is going to play in the development league next week, if all goes to plan. He's absolutely no chance of playing against St.Kilda.

In. Riley, Newton

Out. JKH, ANB

JKH is a worry, if you're small and not fast then you need to be clean and creative, he was neither today. ANB had no impact as the sub so I'd give him a spell.

Yes he did but he attacked the game all be it turned it over a lot. We're not playing finals and have an easy draw, I'd like to see him get a run of games. Others have had their chances. He manages to find himself in space with the ball. Needs to work on awareness and disposal. Has potential.

Stretch i reckon will get a spell this week

I don't doubt his potential at all, and if he can show improvement then he can become a very handy player for us.

But he was poor today (I assume we are talking about JKH... ?) and, in light of a quiet few weeks, might miss the Saints game for one of the players I mentioned earlier.

It feels like yesterday that we played St.Kilda and here we are playing them again. Meanwhile, we played the Suns in Round 1 and won't be seeing them again for at least 8 months, and we haven't played Carlton in 15 months. Strange fixturing! Not that it really matters.

We are really going to struggle against the Saints midfield next week. Also their tall forwards will be a headache.

I can see Bruce having a day out.

Salem back??

Salem back??

No way, been out for yonks with consecutive hammies. If he's ready, he can join Kent for a half in the VFL Dev league.

JKH and ANB for whichever of the VFL revolving door players are currently at the front of the queue. Grimes and Michie I guess. Wouldn't be averse to only one or neither of those changes. There definitely won't be four changes - Stretch and Harmes going OK for mine.

Salem?? News to me. I'd say JKH is likely to be dropped until he finds form, but his ideal replacement (Kent) won't be ready for at least another fortnight.

no way Salem is ready, might play for Casey though

In - Grimes, Newton

Out - ANB, JKH

Salem back??

After watching him train during the week I'm confident he'll be in the mix

In Grimes.

Out JKH.

If Hunt has done enough, then bring him in for ANB and give stretch the vest for this week.

If Brayshaw needs a rest (has looked a little flat) then bring in Newton or Michie.

In. Grimes , Michie

Out. Stretch, ANB

Yes, JKH. You're right he was poor. The names you've thrown up Michie/Newton/Riley all deserve another crack. We've got 8-9 games left?? I'd like Roos to try and get game time into those guys. Maybe say well play Michie/Riley/Newton for 4 games regardless of form, giving Stretch/ANB/JKH a rest then swap them back for the last couple. Maybe keep Stretch and rotate the others. Something along those lines.

INS- grimes, Newton, toumpas

OUTS- ANB, JKH, stretch/brayshaw

Neal - Bullen was sub so he doesn't need a rest I would have thought. I'd be surprised if Salem and Kent were ready. Maybe Toumpas for Stretch.
