Well deserved!

Good luck Viv.

Yeah. Another selection tick from the committee. Rewarding players who perform. They'd better give ANB his go though.

I'm wondering if someone can answer this as I haven't been au fait with the rookie rules for some years. We already upgraded Wagner, doesn't that mean someone has to be added to long term injury list for Michie to get a spot? Is King that?

Get to upgrade one at start of season and we also get to upgrade one to replace Melksham I believe

 

ed. Good luck to Viv

That's a fantastic effort - hopefully Jetta mrk 2.

Very well deserved. ANB and Viv have been consistently good at Casey and both deserve a shot.

Oliver surely comes back in as well.

Great stuff. All aboard the Viv train.

Agree wholeheartedly!  Very happy for Viv, and really hope he takes this second chance (third chance if you count Freo as his first...) with both hands and, like Nev, pay back the Footy Dept's faith in him by becoming an important part of the team.

The way I read it Dappa is that we had one spot to upgrade, which was Wagner, then we've got two guys out for the year in King and Melksham, who can also be replaced?
Very confusing when they frequently change rules on the fly.

So this would suggest he's getting a game this weekend? Maybe emergency?

He will play and play well. Underrated  player.

you don't get upgraded to be emergency. he's in count on it

I hope ANB gets a game, he has been consistently in the best and keeps getting passed by others...

He'd have every right to be disappointed if he missed out again.  

We lack speed and outside run. Not too sure how Viv will help our one paced attack???

May come in for Pedersen?

By delivering pin-point bullet passes to his team-mates, maybe...?

The #MichieMyths are beginning....

Oh dear. I hope he doesn't cop a ban. Anything but that.

I kind of understand the "btdt" attitude of those above, but he's been consistently in the Casey best all year, and apparently killed it this week playing on a HBF. Read the Plapp report, it was as glowing they come. And it just so happens, we have a HBF vacancy this weekend.

The guy has well and truly earned another shot. How about getting on board and showing some support?

He'll play half back this week then. Good luck to him and I hope he plays well for us. We need some tight defenders who know when to run off and attack. Maybe he can become a key for us?

Michie has been in and out of the seniors many times in the past,he probably is a good reserves player.Surely we need a defender,perhaps White would be the go.

Ta for that.

Really happy for him. Gives his all. Hope he makes the most of his opportunity

But the dream team?

Balrick takes Darlings tunic?

Oh.  Been there, done that.

Grats Viv.
