Harmes had 45 touches for Casey and ANB 35 and a goal so they would have to be close 

Harmes is not up to it! Nor, for hat matter is ANB

harsh marker there pick... I think both are serviceable given more time...and it is now a luxury that we have 5-7 players that can rotate through the 20-22 mix.

Is everyone forgetting that Hunt was out cold for about a minute or more?He was seeing owls flying in circles.

He might be lucky to play this week .

Weids probably had the least impact so he will make way for Hogan.

Harmes has earned a recall after his leather poisoning.

In :Hogan,Harmes

out Hunt,Weids.

Too early for that I reckon.

They both play considerably different roles in the senior team than at Casey, so it's tough to change roles each week.

I wouldn't be surprised if Harmes really comes on. He's a burst player, and if he gains some confidence he could really cement himself as a marking high pressure small half forward. 

As much as I want him to play...No way Hunt plays this week. Would be a poor look if he plays the week after being carted off the ground with concussion.

Yes they can, but not when the umpire initiates the contact.

The umpire went back and hit Bernie on the face, with the back of his head.

Didn't look too much, very surprised the umpire went off and stayed off.

Doesn't the player have to get out of the way? Ie if he does bump the ump even if incidental the players gets suspended?

Hoges won't be coming in.

We probably need to talk about Wagner. I can't comment on his defensive efforts off the ball, but his disposal really hasn't been up to scratch since his return. Which I find odd, because I thought it was one of his stronger points last season. I would be happy to persist, as I think he has a future, but with Melksham waiting in the wings I can foresee an unforced change.

Apparently milkshake was sensational last week in the VFL.

Brad Green went off on a stretcher a few years ago and came back in the same game!!

Hannan was vital in keeping that forward pressure especially in the second half, I really like how well he competes in the air, launches are every marking contest with purpose. He created a lot of opportunities and explosive around stoppages at times. His team low 8 possessions were very important.

I very much doubt he is dropped this week.

Needs to get his hands on the ball more & be cleaner when he actually does have it. 

Out - Hannan

In - Harmes

Harmes & Bullen will both make it, still very raw, huge upside

So what do we know about Hogan, and why is there innuendo that he won't be back this week (or a while)?

i thought 'illness' meant man flu or some such.

we could replace a Kent with Hogan, if available.  I think this might be a good structural solution.

no-one knows, some posters are hinting it is part of his grieving but how they can extrapolate that to "a long time" would indicate they must be claiming clairvoyance.

Not a Wagner fan but he played pretty well I thought. Much better one on one pressure than I have seen before and his link play was very good. Disposal is one of my knocks on him but overall it was pretty good. He is also getting used to the team around him which is very important.

I watched a different Wagner to you. I lost count of the number of mistakes he made with ball in hand. Offensively he was very poor.

I mentioned elsewhere that I was at a function last Monday where Mark Bradshaw was interviewed. I'm certain he said that it was club policy that a player misses at least two weeks following a head knock (he may have said concussion).

Aside: he also said how his wife could not bring herself to watch Gus play (and that was before yesterday).

Can players get suspended for umpire contact or is it just fines, should Bernie be worried 

With the MRP it is anyone's guess, though it is a player in Red and Blue so probably time for them to set a precedent (which they will ignore at their whim later for 'special players')

I suspect that some posters like to try to claim inside knowledge even if they don't have it.

They weren't owls - they were crows so all is good

Hope Hogan only comes in only  if fully fit and emotionally prepared. We found other  avenues to goal without him and our forward pressure was better without him

If he needs a long break give it to him and hopefully he comes back and contributes in a big way to the team

Who? What would a musician know about concussions?

I preface this comment by admitting I haven't seen the game. However, in a purely structural sense, we are a better team when Hogan has additional tall players around him reducing the opportunity for opponents to double- and triple-team him. For this reason, if the decision for Hogan to come in is between Weideman and Hannan, we are a better prospect with Weideman remaining in the team. That doesn't mean that Weideman should definitely remain - only that if there was not that much difference between Weideman and Hannan (or Kent for that matter), I would keep the Weid in the team.

aren't percussions closely related to concussions?

Can confirm concussion can occur post percussion
