T mac still playing??? take him out of his and our misery for the love of god

and Petty in? he must do a lot at training coz he has looked poor at AFL level.  I'd play Keilty at the back before Petty

The rest of the year was supposed to be a trial and acclimatisation for all our youth and second-line players. The FD are still nuts.

Petty ahead of Oscar..

Quiet a statement there.

Not really - not only is he not even named in the VFL this week, Oscar hasn't played since he was dropped, having missed the last Casey match as well. 4-6 week case of mystery injury syndrome?

Fair enough, I don't know much about the intricacies of a collar bone plate repair. From what I've heard though, it's a 4-8 week recovery for civilians, so he did come back quite quick for someone playing a high impact sport.

On Lever, I'm not saying it's the cause, but the incident in which his knee was injured was when he was just not up to the speed of the game. Watching the replay it was even commented on at the time that he was not ready for the speed of AFL. My point is just that the contest he was injured in may not have happened if he had had more match time leading up to his return.

And in the end, I'm not trying to make it sound like that's how it is, just saying you could potentially argue those things.

 

Hogan last year, back within a couple of weeks.

Also why would Omac come in for an intercept player like Lever? May yes, but not Lever. Petty for Lever makes more sense.

As statements go it's a pretty limp one.

Tonight's outs make stuff all difference. Freo was winning yesterday and is still winning tonight.

Not sure Petty is needed.

May can take Hogan.

Frost can take Cox.

Hore can also help out in the key defenders department.

The rest of their forward line are full of dangerous smalls such as Walters and Matera.

Hoping the Petty selection isn’t a waste of time.

The Petty selection is one in maximising development. Season’s over, may as well give it to young player’s who show potential, as opposed to bringing in duds and geriatrics.

Didn’t we draft a big weapon from , was it North, to park up at Ff and chop out max ?

I hear he had a promising pre-season and is looking ripe for debut in the JLT series in 2020

why wouldn't we bring in a player lacking mobility against a  side who loves to create run and carry opportunities from their back half

Yes quite.  Oscar has not convinced too many that he has the goods to be a consistent KPD.  

His strengths include a good defensive punch and being a very tidy kick.  However his game day handballing skills, body strength and ground speed will keep him at Casey.

You could potentially argue anything. But you continually to "potentially argue" that players came back too early.

Not sure why you're so mad mate? I'm not stating things as fact just putting forward a discussion point about the injuries.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
