I think you're on the money. Plapp's reports tend to indicate that's the role they have in mind for him. They won't make the same mistake that they made with the Weid (elevated too quickly IMO).

Is Filipovic injured? Or is that his just not been selected?

Flipper's out for another week or so with a hip flexor injury.

The MFC's injury list stands at 9 players:- Angus Brayshaw (concussion), Lochie Filipovic (hip flexor), Colin Garland (knee), Max Gawn (hamstring), Jesse Hogan (testicular cancer), Pat McKenna (hamstring), Joel Smith (shoulder), Jake Spencer (shoulder) and Aaron vandenBerg (heel).

Players whose names are in bold are not expected back any time soon. The other's are expected back within the next month or so.

To a couple of those posters who are discussing field positions and ins and outs,

Fritsch played in the WAFL v VFL state game last week so I assume he'll be rested this week having missed out on the bye. Also the field positions are never accurate, Weideman, Keilty and Bull in the backline? Yeah don't think so.

I think it was 2010! 

Tempting to be there though!!

Been there once. Batted first drop for Sunshine Seconds. Got a dodgy LBW - the bowler approached me during post game beers and said I was stiff to be given out.

The next week the captain of Sunshine seconds dropped me to number 10, told me I'd had my chance during the Coburg game.

Has McKenna played many games, have heard nothing of him since the move.

VDB is the one we could have used.

Just got the word that both Keilty and Hulett will be playing as Defenders this week because Casey will have a very strong MFC presence in the forward line and needed some key players to push back

Does Dec have a favored position @Drunkn167? 

He seems to be swung around a bit?

Fair call, you do know what the wooden thing's for right!

I'm surprised Melksham isn't playing this game. His form in the AFL looked like someone that was way out of touch with the game, obviously not having played for the 12 months. At one point he simply froze with no idea what to do next. He just needed more footy. After going back to the VFL for some touch he subsequently produced on the big stage.

I would've kept him going rather than have the week off.

Hulett now only has to play on a wing or rove to have covered every position in the team!

I know he's been played down back before, but I'm wondering if the FD are thinking he may replace OMac at some stage. Doubt he'll be needed forward any time soon with Hoges, Pedo and Watts there.

Has anyone seen him in the ruck?  Is this a role he can or may be able to fill?

I'd give him a run at Casey if he trained well for a week or two.

Still can't see them lining up anywhere near as selected. Mitch White and Jack Hutchins can play in defence and Ferreira is knee high to a grasshopper and won't be playing at FF surely?

Made 38 the previous week, got caught on the boundary because I had to go to my cousin's wedding.....I knew a thing or two about the willow, my friend. I was known as the greatest living German cricketer.

He probably won't line up down back, but I posted this re Weideman last Tuesday in the Steven May thread, "Also, Weideman is also struggling, but he's a smart footballer with good hands.  I'd give him a crack in defence at Casey and see how he goes.  It only has to be for this season, but he may prove his worth as a defender and be a viable option at AFL level later in the year."

I agree with that sentiment. There's nothing to be lost by moving a player around the ground as part of his football education especially someone like Weideman who has talent but is still probably a year off being a regular at AFL level. With Jesse Hogan, Tim Smith and Melbourne's bigger ruckmen poised to return from injury, it's unlikely that the Weed is going to get the opportunities on the Demon forward line. Pedersen and Watts are ahead of him in that department as well. Often you can learn to become a better forward by playing down back. Ask David Nietz.
