May has been fantastic since returning, and quite frankly one of the few reasons I've continued to watch games, and not resort to full blown alcoholism.

This year just keeps on giving.

[Demonland 73,482]

Neither Jack Steven nor Dan Hannebery are in for the Saints. 

[Red But Mostly Blue 4,558]

Also, why is the official statement that OMac took time off mid season to get his body right? I thought he'd just been playing terribly (I know there are some who disagree), and was dropped. 

If I underperform at work, and am relegated to the mail room, I don't get to say I'm building the skills necessary for my substantive job?!

I'm so confused.

He was playing terribly, right? His form at Casey has not been much better! Why is he back?

Little to do with Burgess or Misson if players are put back on or not, it's the MEDICAL team who make those calls.

Further, you would need to be able to show that May going back on is the reason he's missing 1-2 weeks (with a hamstring we presume), as opposed to he would have missed that in any case.

This the season that just keeps on giving - turds

[Damo Demon 0]

If JKH can't get a game, they have decided he is gone

[bing181 9,422]

Not sure why the surprise re O'Mac. He had his break/rebuild after a non-existent pre-season (hip operations), and his form at Casey has been OK to very good.

But apart from all that, with Hore and May out, and Petty now as our emergency forward because both Tom Mac and Weideman are out (and Preuss isn't up to it as a forward), who else was there?

Though I'd take an in-form Oscar over Petty as a back any day of the week, and Frost as well - Frost's attack and general mayhem is worth having, but as a one-on-one pure defender he's too easily beaten by smarter/experienced forwards. Oscar's also a more reliable kick coming out of the back line, something we desperately need in any case.

[DemonOX 8,837]

Oh joy Omac is back. 

Preuss still should be in the side to develop the chemistry with Max. I know Preuss form wasn’t great last week but most of team has been pathetic for the season so it makes no difference  

Our season is dead so I don’t  see the point in not playing them together this season so that next season they can hit the ground running.

This season has been abysmal and an absolute waste of a season. 

I cant wait for it to end. That’s how much fun our team is to follow.

JKH cards must be marked

In-form Oscar?? When was that??

[640MD 3,491]

With OMac back

at least I can smile at the expected

(rightly or wrongly) outrage from posters on land. 

I have no idea if it’s the correct choice or the wrong  but ........hell we might even win

Go Dees

[sisso 2,588]

Horrible looking side this week sadly 

[CHF 2,817]

Will be interesting to see the Casey side this week with the emergencies available to play on Sunday. I see the selection this week a a balance between being competitive against the Saint and trying to keep Casey in the race for a finals berth.

Rubbish.

Oscar was getting outbodied and outmarked by 185cm no names forwards against the doggies in his last VFL game to the point where they had to shift him forward.

He is depth now and the sooner May is back the quicker Omac is back at Casey.

Petty has already shown be has more tricks then Oscar. Time to put all of our development into Petty once our forward line is up and running.
