Mitch White officially in tomorrow!

http://m.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-06-29/white-to-play-first-game-of-season

Wouldn't be surprised if White and Wagner come in. Wagner to play in place of Salem, Hunt to push forward in place of Garlett to add some x-factor and defensive pressure to the mix, and White to fill Hunt's usual role. 

That's the only rationale that comes to mind if White is selected ahead of Wagner (barring any other outs).

These reflect my thoughts too.

I'd say they're also making sure they have another back that can play on a 2nd/3rd option forward. He compete's really well in the air and I think is insurance knowing Tmac could spend the majority of the game in the forward line like last week.

Didn't see that coming! 

Good luck to him competitive and ferocious!

Wow! Just as Saty predicted! ?

don't need 2 left foot back flankers

Personally I thought White's game last week was outstanding and it excited me more than any of the other MFC players bar Weeds first 45 minutes. His foot skills were sublime

Not not a huge fan of his but the footy department see him every day at training and are doing a pretty reasonable job so happy to back them in

Another who finds new ways to injure himself, hasn't had a clean run at it for last 18 months,  has had a solid three or four weeks, rated by FD

He's a beautiful kick so in that sense he's a good replacement for Salem

Hadn't seen the posts. It makes sense though - can't see them picking White ahead of Wagner so I assume both are in.

Are you sure this is politically correct

Relax- we never recruit Roman Catholics.

Unless standards have slipped.

As others have said a raking left foot kick, is tough and has served a good apprenticeship in the VFL.

Has been in the bests 5 times this season which is more than anyone else at Casey so has obviously been consistent and carrying out coaches instructions.

Also has a winning AFL record (2W/1L)

Hopefully White will prove to be a good choice and will acquit himself well

Still hoping that Weiderman gets a game

White was supposed to have the booming left foot wasn't he? Am I thinking the same guy?

Yep! Long accurate kick and a tough kid as well

Kent?? Kennedy  ?? JKH??  I thought one would come in for extra forward pressure 

Geez their either really really making JKH, Kent, Kennedy knock the door down or Goody has no interest in any of them. Strange as JKH has been in his best ever form, just got an extension and can't get a look

There is of course the (admittedly really remote), possibility that the FD might know what they are doing and have chosen the replacements they think will do the best job against the Swans.

Just sayin'

Interesting demons squad. It's so far from the predicted best 22 many of us had at the start of the season, yet I'm not doubting this group coming out swinging at Sydney.

Times have changed at our club. Belief is a powerful thing!
