18 players available that is a very strong team I think we will give Coburg a 100 point thumping. 

Extremely strong side. Should be a very convincing win, especially with players pressing for senior selection.  Kent and Frost's good form was rewarded with selection this week, so players must perform if they hope to play with the seniors.  Hopefully Brayshaw can play well.

That could go close to beating the seniors.

Will be interested to see who puts their hand up for selection.

Keen to see if Spargo makes an impact.

Anyone know why Jack Hutchins our skipper isnt playing at the moment? Injured?

First time in possibly ever I can remember the entire starting 18 being MFC listed players.

I wonder when people saw Lewis playing for Casey they hoped it was Jordie and not this Lewis.

I believe Hutchins had surgery over the off season, so he's still probably a few weeks away.

Really should be an absolute belting by Casey. Coburg played against Frankston in an unofficial praccy match during the Pre-Season, which Frankston won, and since Casey beat Frankston by 111 points..... things could get ugly for the Lions. 

This game will be broadcast by Casey Radio on 97.7 FM or over at http://www.3ser.org.au/ from 12.50 pm on Sunday, so if you can't make the game be sure to listen in.

I think you're getting Corey mixed up with Josh...

Was Corey the one who played for North?

18 MFC players named plus the 22 for the seniors leaves very few out injured. That's a great position to be in at any time of the season. Part of the reason for Richmond's success last year was having few injuries. As a consequence they not only won the Premiership but their VFL team came second.

We've just got to hope it stays like that towards the pointy end, the Tigs only had 1 player from memory on the injury list come late last season/finals and I don't think he was anywhere near best 22. Pity that Viney and TMac are part of our 4 injured, as they are automatic best 22.

Can't ever recall a start to the season where we've had 40 players to chose from?

Tell him to miss a week, if its that close to not right.  He's at the beginning of a long career, hopefully.

Don't want it to linger thru the early part of season, which can inturn put stresses through other areas of the feet & legs.

Is Gus out of contract?

Yes

Getting more nervous about his future

Hope they wake up and play Brayshaw. He is AFL quality. Do not want a young star to decide his future is elsewhere.  He would slot into Vince or Lewis role or Salem.   Not sure how much Angus has to do.

sadly this game won't tell us much about form

will be like a training run with witches hats given they were beaten by the frangas

Prepare yourself, he might not be a Dee long term.

Corey is on the bench and not in the starting 18!

Based on last years Casey form I'd expect Munro, Gent, Scott and White to get the bench spots.

No Ed Morris on the bench from  either?

Wagner should get a game ahead of Munro.

I've tried mate haha but after 6 months of not playing a proper game he's keen to run out round 1 and I don't think I'll change his mind

its in the hands of the physio staff now

Seriously, you don't play someone because you're scared they will leave if you don't.

His opportunity will come and he will have to step up and take it...
