I actually forgot he was an option, great news because I rate him highly.

Who do we drop for White?

In Grimes, White

Out Dawes, Bugg

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?

With respect to our losses after six day breaks, if my memory serves me correctly, we didn't really make many changes for those games and ended up paying dearly.

I wonder what happens this week.

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

Melbourne have announced their team early it seems.:

Grimes is in the 22 at last!!

I/C: Jack Grimes, Ben Kennedy, Mitch White, James Harmes

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!

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.

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

Dawes and Bugg out...

Grimes & White in...

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

Woohoo! Good changes!

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.
