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.

And the statements coming from the footy club about 2019 being behind us and all looking just peachy for 2020

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 ?

hows he tracking? Anyone got some dead horse 

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

it will come and

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
