Dayne Beams officially ruled out with hip injury.

I think the kid they will have coming in (Sier) might be a better bet than Beams at the moment, whose form line hasn't been great.

Sier will have a lot of clubs chasing him in the off season if he can't nail down a permanent spot.

Would suit us with Jones coming near the end.

Agreed. Offer Sier a 3 year deal and see what we can land.  Oliver Harmes Viney and one more bull. Though an outside running skilled mid is the Priority!!

No Taylor Adams, Elliot, Dunn, wells, Beams, Langdon. Question mark over Cox and Grundy but they reckon Grundy will play. 

After just beating Sydney Bd losing to freo at home they are certainly not in their best form

thats right, I’m getting my hopes up already!

 

Yes Definitely Dub keep your hopes high. I have a really good feeling. Cant wait to smash them.

Is Mason Cox available to play? Are we the only team who makes him look good?

If he does we need a gorilla minder ie not Oscar!!!!!!

Would they bring him straight in to AFL? He hasn’t played for 5 weeks. Richmond also made him look like a superstar in the prelim.

If playing jeffy,  or other passer by,  gets us artificially up the ladder...   and cost us a  Hayden Young,  Lachie Ash,  or a Dylan Stephens/Caleb Serong.  I will go  berko,  after this wasted season.  

Too much wasted already,  to give up a top 6 pick for something lesser.... unless we traded say a pick 4 or 5,  for two 1st Rnd picks.

 

And a classy sounding forward... Dylan Williams.

 

Surely by now we recognise that this type of thinking is fools gold. Much better to get our best side on the park and build some momentum and confidence going into next year.

 

Bloody hope the Bucks vs Mick feud will take the Magpie's minds off the game.

Get stuck into each other fellas! Don't hold back!

They're not - media just pumping up a comment from Buckley who was pragmatically answering a question regarding Malthouse. He was very complimentary in a diplomatic way, whilst also being clear they don't get on... nor should that matter.

Thanks Radar.   I've been looking for this post, Re the idea of the Pick swaps.   I couldn't find it earlier today.

 

Of course we would be trying to win all games,  but players who are carrying long-term niggles need to go off to get them right...  Or fixed up by the surgeon.  We don't need to find that old manic form of last year,  now.  It would only be for supporters to hold faith. 

The longer term skills  &  abilities of our list,  is far more concerning than our early 2019 season form, which is now history.

We can't manage him in the firsts...

At Casey he can have long periods off the ground, he's more likely to get a soft tissue injury with the intensity at AFL level.

Agree, no Lever please.

Ins.  Accurate goal kicking, coat beanie & scarf

outs. Car parking, singlet & shorts

Garlett averaging 7 kicks over last 2 seasons. Averaged 1g3b this yr 1g 6b last yr.

Delusional

I should have known I needed to do more.

Garlett can find the footy in the forward line. 9 touches in the 50 last week, 9 against the Eagles three weeks ago. 

No forward is prolific but he is the closest we have to a functioning forward who can find it in the right places.

I don’t really care, this season is done and Garlett is probably in his last season in footy. But our forward line has been an absolute disaster this year - not all of it is at the feet of delivery. It is also at the feet of how we set up in the forward line and also how the FD place defensive pressure well above above forward nous. 

Was there a Goody presser today? Looks like both Lever and May will play should the former get through tomorrow’s session. 

Simon Goodwin not prepared to write off 2019 as Steven May and Jake Lever look to play

Add Salem and possibly Hore, the outs will be interesting.

Based on our weakest/worst 4 players from last week's squad the outs would be:

1) Wagner - Lever

2) O Mac - May

3)  Stretch - Salem

4) Spargo - Hore

The last two outs are not like for like so it may not be as simple as that.

JFK may be in danger, Hannan did nothing (but will remain as he's best 22) and Weid and T Smith are always on the borderline. 

I have a gut feel one of Hore or Lever doesn't get up.

Wagner and O Mac are the two certainties. Wagner has actually been serviceable insurance this year.

That can work if Fritsch moves to the forward line in place of Spargo and Hore takes Fritsch's position in the backline. Alternatively, Fritsch could go to the wing and JKH from the wing to the forward line.
