Dont need  Watts or care what he does in his next life He is not a demon in his heart

Team is better without out him

 

Jack Watts will Never ever "Kick down the door" at Casey but is he isn't a better bet at this stage of the season than Weeds, I'll streak naked down Kings Cross and hope I escape unscathed!

In: Stretch, Saelm

Out: Petracca (rested), Viney (rested)

Gut feel/speculation - Viney could do with a break from loading his injury. Petracca needs a freshed up too. 

Goodwin sounded reasonably happy with Weidman in his presser

I reckon you'd be safe picket.

Thank you uncle that is gratifying news! 

Off topic....but it must sting saints fans losing 2 in a row to us....a team they could always count on smashing.

Cant wait until we beat NOrf.

Why is Watts required to have a "blinder" for Casey before being considered for selection? Nobody else has that requirement. Surely all he needs to do is demonstrate a willingness to contest most of the time which is what he was dropped for.

Tom Bugg? Suspension up?

What's all this about Hogan back. That's not for real is it?

Keep the same side, we need some consistency. Weeds was probably pretty nervous he needs more time playing in the seniors to get used to the pace and the teams style and confidence, picking him and then immediately dropping him it not a good way to go. We may need him in the finals if we progress and have injuries/suspensions.  Watts needs another week at Casey, he needs to get his form back for the collingwood and hopefully the finals.

For all those who dont want Watts back in.

I think the things around what we wanted to see from them (Salem and Watts) was certainly a significant improvement to what they had been delivering at AFL level,” Plapp said.

“I don’t think we could have asked for too much more from them.

Out weid and someone

In Watts and Salem.

Bring back Watts for the Pies game so he can strike another dagger through their rotten hearts.

No Change.

 

Out- Wagner

In- Frost

Petracca plays just forward to support Weed.

Absolute rubbish jackaub. Have a look at his emotions when we kick an important goal. He is usually the first to congratulate the scorer.He encourages and urges his teammates too. He is a demon mate, true and true. Forgotten the crucial goal after a gut bursting run against Collingwood? Have a look at his form before injury. 

One change only.  Young Weideman replaced by Watts. He has still got a long way to go.I also think Jeffy's output would improve greatly with Jack back in the team..

Salem will be suspended won't he?

We can win without Watts being included.I reckon Goodwin want bring him back yet!!

If Hogan is fit and good to go, straight back in for Weideman, otherwise he holds his spot

If Salem gets off, straight in for Wagner

Who knows tho; the way it's going we could select Kennedy, Trengove and Keilty to debut and I wouldn't be surprised

For those suggesting Salem is back in - According to MMM he certainly was reported: https://www.triplem.com.au/sport/afl/news/christian-salem-reported-after-vfl-incident-against-northern-blues?station=melbourne

I agree with Demon Andrew that he swaps with Wagner if he gets off. Wouldn't mind seeing Stretch get a game (perhaps give Petracca a rest to freshen up for the pies?)

Can anyone please link something official that alludes to the fact that Hogan could be right for next week? I have no idea where people are even getting this information?

Dec's form definitely warrants it, and it doesn't hurt Goody gave him a mention in the press conference. 

Might be a good chance to blood him against a team we should beat.

prior to today our form has been pretty terrible without him

Who?

I didn't see the Casey game, so will not comment specifically, but Watts is clearly being challenged to show physicality and pressure. If he showed it, he will come back in. If he didn't, he won't. Pretty simple.

To bring him back otherwise goes against everything that today's win was built on.

Again, I stress, I didn't see Casey, so no idea how he went.
