In. OMc, Dec.

Out Weide.

TMC forward

Playing with 23 players? I like the strategy.

Fair chance of rain Saturday. Smaller players I think would be best bet.

I hope they stay with Lockhart and a bit more of a fleet brigade.. 

Keilty for me needs to have a breakout game in the 2s.. we need and will have a look at him but he has to come in with form. 

Look at Port Adelaide.. they are putting faith in kids and getting great service from their experienced leaders and players, we are the exact opposite. 

out: Viney 

in: Sparrow.

I think the idea is to give Weide a early morning  'wake-up',  call.

Dec has had a solid bit of good form,  and deserve s a game for his good efforts. It will give him some  'hope',  that he's on the right track...  and to stay enthused.

 

And I agree on the smalls,  starting with Lockhart.  and Sparrow.

Now is the time to put some games into kids,  before the mature players start to return from injury,  in a couple of weeks.

I really was only thinking about out talls.  not the whole team. or numbers.

6.0 coming up!

hopefully he is still scarred from the final against us last year, running into an open goal and hitting the post.

I cant believe a number of members on this thread believe that certain players who are out of form, shouldn't be dropped! Comments like: 'Its not going to be of any benefit' or 'its not going to improve his confidence'......what a load of [censored]!

I know our stocks are low, however, in my opinion, there has never been a better 'kick in the [censored]' for players to go back to Casey & having to prove themselves, rather than just accept that even though they are consistently playing poorly, that they are still gifted senior games.

I just can't see how Weiderman is going to 'all of a sudden grow an extra leg & be outwardly confident overnight. you know what.....its actually ok to be dropped & go back to prove yourselves.....plenty of others aren't gifted the opportunities that Sam & other players have had this season.

Anyway, enough by me, sorry!

Sometimes its just a matter of breaking the negative momentum,  that's built up so far this season.  Going back to Casey can do that for him.

And similarly, the other way for Dec...  Who last year,  I was concerned about whether he'd go anywhere...  but now, think he might be OK.
