I know that VFL is far less intense than AFL but what does it say when Oliver finishes a game off so strongly a week after given a rest from the AFL?

Are our selection policies too conservative or did the win over Richmond mandate that there be no more that one change notwithstanding we were coming off a six day break?

The Saints made three changes to their losing team. In hindsight, you can mount a good argument that their inclusions tipped the balance in their favour.

It's interesting WJ, but I think overall, most would have this year's selection policy as a huge win for the club. It's hard to crack the side, and hard to keep your spot. Nothing wrong with that. Roos rewards unheralded players with a game, and then sticks with them for at least two to make sure they have a decent chance. Expects more from senior players than from younger ones. And he's unwilling to change a winning side... those are all, really, the policies we want to see week in week out. What was it he used when he won the flag? 28 players or something?

Post Tigers, I assumed some good performers would be down against a fast Saints side, at the dome where they play a certain brand. I didn't think it would be Hunt or Wagner though. Personally I reckon he made the correct choices at the selection table going in, and you can't fault him for not having a crystal ball. His gameday execution? Yes. Fire away. But selection has been a strength.

Verily.

I partially saw the ANB kick which concussed Brayshaw in the VFL goals package on the MFC website.

Does anyone know if it was a direct kick to the back of the head or was their a slight deflection from the smother, having it go into the head?

How was his defensive intensity? He's always interested me in how he can get and use the ball, even though he lacks a yard of pace, but has mostly looked like a passenger without the ball. 

He played all but 15 minutes on the half back flank. Thought he was probably Casey's best. Very attacking but also saved at least 2 goals on the last line. Must admit one of these probably should have been a free to the bomber player but it wasn't paid. 

Straight kick into his bonce. Dropped like a stone. Lucky it wasn't CP5 kicking it because it would have taken his head off.

Viv has been our most consistent performer at Casey so far this year and surely must be due a recall. Reward for effort. Problem is I'm not sure that Roos rates him.

He's in.

Deserves it.

Well done skid! Hopefully he puts on a good performance and keeps his spot.
