With Frost out, it certainly wouldn't surprise to see T Mac go back with his brother to play on Bruce and Membrey.  I think Watts survives as Goodwin has shown a preference for 3 talls in the forward line, so I can see him going with the mix of Watts, Pedo and Weideman down there.

Make no mistake, we are a big chance this weekend to turn our season around.  We've had a very disappointing two weeks, but we've hopefully gotten those two weeks out of the way before the season is a total disaster.

Always love your positivity WB, and agree with everything you suggest. I only hope the coaches don't do something stupid like putting Pedo at CHB and leave Tmac at CHF until we're 7 goals down before they make the switch.

Me too.  T Mac has been handy up forward but Bruce and Membrey have the capability of kicking multiple goals, and dropping Frost and adding Weideman suggests that T Mac may well head to the backline this weekend.  I think they'll continue to use Pedersen as a chop our for Gawn, which keeps him in the forward half of the ground.

When Watts is bad he is really bad, looks like he is not trying!

Usually when the Demons are good, Watts disposal skills standout. Close to our best shot at goal, when he gets the ball normally puts it to our advantage, unlike a few of our players.

These changes smack of desperation. Frost should be playing. St Kilda kills us with tall forwards. Weideman is not AFL standard yet. Brayshaw is being brought back too early. Salem must be semi-injured. Watts needs a stern lecture from the coach.

If Watts is out why not name him "omitted" like regulars Frost and Salem?

Wagner likely in with Hannan IMO.

Yeah you are probably right. Perhaps having him on the extended IC is a shot across the bow

St.Kilda hasn't won without Riewoldt or Montagna since 2005... Usually were good at letting sides break hoodoos/records against us

Agree JV7 u watch them smash that record against us and we will offer little resistance imo.

I note that neither Salem nor Frost was named in the VFL side according to the Casey team

Watts out according to the footy show 

This is staggering selections in our most important game in ten years. Ffs. .dropping class for guys like Wagner. I admit Watts has been poor, but do we remember what Weid and Wagner looked like at AFL level. Bloody awful. We lose this week ..Watts stars in the VFL and we are back talking about how we lost it at the selection table.

Tough [censored]....It's on him, he played like trash 2 weeks in a row could say 3 weeks but it was his return from injury.

Has it been confirmed that Wagner is selected in the 22 this week?

More like Wagner for Salem.

Watts for Weids isn't too much of a stretch either. watts had a better 2nd half last week but his efforts have been close to putrid.

Give me sustained effort over patchy shows of class every single day of the week.

No the horse has bolted. At a crucial time watts has come back and been so disappointing. Pity as his year prior was quite good. But where was he against gws. Play him and see the same thing happen then what would you say ?

Frost has been going horrible for a over a month.  

Brayshaw has had 3 games back and will be ready to go.

Might be drawing a long bow, but I reckon it's a pretty safe bet that Watts has been dropped given he just posted a live video on Instagram from inside a nightclub.

What will we say about Weiderman when we see Carlisle push him off his line all day and watch him be physically challenged at AFL level, again. He is a talent, but his body is not up to AFL

I was hoping Watts would get one more chance at a proper AFL venue but another failure would've been a disaster for him and the team. He probably needs the wake up call and will be better for it and may incentivise him to kill it in the VFL to have a chance at finals footy.

There's 3 best 22 coming out of that line up so it's pretty big risk taken by Goody, so I'm hoping it pays off.

Depends. How were his dance moves? We're the cops shooting at him?

Video cut short just as he was about to moon walk.

If true re Watts then I am very concerned. Goody himself admitted we butchered the ball last week and he responds by omitting our two best ball users??

Makes no sense, and I am very nervous about this game.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
