For anyone ignorant like me: A hip pointer is a contusion on the pelvis caused by a direct blow or a bad fall at an iliac crest and / or hip bone and a bruise of the abdominal muscles (transverse and oblique abdominal muscles). Surrounding structures such as the tensor fasciae latae and the greater trochanter may also be affected.

Forget Pedo - is Petracca a smokey to squeeze in a game or two this year to encourage potentially lapsing members? Not saying should, but could?

Oh, and is 'about a month' for Frost now considered less than 426?

This is curious: Reid (something something) slotted three (something something) at Victoria Park on Sunday. Coach Nathan Buckley wants the 26-year-old to string together a month of footy, but Reid says he will put his hand up for selection.

For the Casey-watchers - who was on Reid on the w/e?

May have been Fitzy for some of the game (I got there after quarter time) but Reid started to look better once Fitzy left with an injury and I think got a couple of easy ones on the goal line

Good news, Cloke and Blair have been ruled out this weekend

This should help us keep the margin to 50 instead of 80

My point being that I would rather establish consistency with the team when there aren't any injuries. I think there is a clear issue in player's breaking down in knowing their role, and dropping players all the time for this team in particular could be detrimental to the club's plan of winning games and getting people to games.

Consistency is the next turning point for this club and it just can't turn the corner. Establishing a team and putting faith in players might actually help them play like a team, as opposed to playing like they hate one another.

Trouble with the consistency is that it is consistently under performing as a team. Fresh faces needed, and of course more leadership of the field from the seniors.

Cheers JRS. Buckley wants him to string a month together returning from injury apparently. Do you take this at face value according to what you saw?

Regardless of who you bring in and personell etc

The big ins need to be

2 way running

100% effort

back yourself

2nd efforts

tackling pressure

Out:

waiting for a team mate to do it

not taking the 1st option

second guessing yourself

lack of run

Agree and could we add to that handballs that don't have players reaching below their knees, above there heads to get or that miss the target completely. Great teams rapid fire the handball at times until they find an outside runner, we struggled to execute handballs last week constantly putting teammates under pressure.

if Darcy Moore continues as last week he will make up the slack.

FFS Roos make a selection statement & drop 2 high profile players (omitted).

If its the same old Toumpas Jones Bail rotations I'm gonna vomit.

enough with the cool calm I've got everything under control [censored].

lol - may as well accept you're going to vomit, budge

most of us here have been vomiting for a few weeks, some even for a few years (but not always for mfc reasons)

maybe we should rename this forum to vomitland?

yes, we want panic instead

So you want players dropped, but you don't want the Casey players in?

Unfortunately, the AFL players are struggling and the VFL players aren't terribly exciting prospects. Someone has to play.

Sadly that probably describes our situation perfectly

i dont understand what you are talking about, its irrelevant who the replacement players would be.

I get the feeling Toumpas has played his last game for the club. I believe he will be traded out at years end and it doesn't seem like the FD have much patience with him in the seniors this season.

How did he go in the VFL?

Lumumba has proven to be a dud.

Finished 3rd in the Pies F&B last year in a good side.

Thought he'd dominate in our team this year.

Has been rather underwhelming indeed. Flip the coin between him and Terlich at the moment.

I was talking about Tyson HB

yeah sorry OD i meant to use your quote prior to the Tyson one..... Anyway, expect to see a little more of Michie in the next few rounds. They either rate him or they have told him he has a few weeks to play for his career.

I despair

They should all be told they are playing for their career

Because they are

They should be told to train like it's their last game

They should be told to play as a team because they can't win alone and if they don't win they will be nothing

The

They should be reminded of how they played to beat the dogs and the cats

They should be reminded that they are as good a player as their opponents but must be a better team

Fitzy had his number until he went off.

ANB had 37 touches and 6 tackles.. Get the kid back in!!! Tell Dawes if he doesn't give us something this week he is finished! And maybe Give Hunt a crack? The kid has pace! Play him as the sub.. See what he can do?

Out: weakest stats from last week whoever that was

I'm a little confused about the hate for Tyson this year. Sure he hasn't had his 2014 year but he is only 22 and still averaging 21 touches a game.

If I remember correctly did he not have an interrupted pre season as well?

Also his goal from the stoppage yesterday was reminiscent of what he did last year... the guy has talent!

... surely we aren't making him a scapegoat already?!

It's about quality, not quantity.

I would like to see them play with some confidence and boldness and I don't know if Roos can teach that - maybe he just moulds those that already have it in spades...

Anyway, I would like our improvement to include a desire to play good football.

The second healthiest game this year was a loss to the mob we are playing this week. We played some great footy. Exciting footy.

But "It ISN'T good enuff coz we didn't WIN!1!"

Reinforce good behaviour when you see it - otherwise you get people who think you want to see what we have seen the last month instead of good football.

I hope the Pies bring it out of this team again.
