Who do we drop for White?

It's a fair question.  Roosy loved Hunt's performance, so I can't see him being 'rested', Jetta is a lock and he won't take a tall backman's spot.. I think.  Possibly Tommy Bugg?  Billy Stretch gets a rest?

    I hope it's Bugg if out of those two. I love Billy's speed and Toms hair gives me the shits

    Emg: Viv Michie, Alex Neal-Bullen, Jake Spencer

    In: Grimes, White

    Out: Chris Dawes, Tomas Bugg

    Edit: Roos said it would be a fresh team.  So bringing in Grimes and White attests that

    Good luck to Grimes as he well and truly deserves his chance. White is an exciting prospect too so happy to see him back!

    I am surprised that Oliver is not in, especially as Casey has a bye this week.

    They must have decided he needed an extended rest.

    two fits guys that can play 80% game time.

    Bugg is a form slump. Dawes was too poor to keep, even though our structure suffers.

    Good accountable changes.

    White seems a logical replacement for H (if H was playing!). Both listed as 188 cm and 88 lg.

    Now that we are clearly out of finals contention, it's a good opportunity to have a decent look at a few players who have been consistently amongst the 'bests' for Casey for a while, but may or may not be in our jumper in 2017.  The ball is now in their court to prove their worth.

    From the website: "Going out of the side is key forward Christ Dawes and utility Tomas Bugg. Midfielder Viv Michie, second-year player Alex Neal-Bullen and ruckman Jake Spencer have been named emergencies."

    Hard to believe he can't play with a name like that!

  • Quote

    Happy with those changes.  White and Grimes certainly deserve their opportunity, while Dawes was poor last week and Bugg has been down on form as of late.  

    I like the fact we are going in a little shorter which I think will suit the conditions a little better as well.

  • Quote

    Yep - I like these changes. Hope Grimes had a good game and backs up next week for his 100 th

    Happy 2 c how Grimes & White go. Hope Grimes plays well & gets a 2nd game. I think Vanders is lucky 2 b in team. Wonder if M Jones can get more than 118m with his 20 posses this week if not swap him for Trenners.

    The holes in his hands is probably why he can't mark anything

    That's what I call him, although there's usually a comma in between the names.

    Just shows what wonderful pundits we all are on Demonland

    Cannot remember anyone mentioning White as a possibility. (If I am wrong please accept my apology and my congratulations)

    Looks like Grimesy will get to 100 games, thats great.  And glad to see White in, he was impressive at the end of last season.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
