CHANGES: Rd 21 v Collingwood

[Dee Zephyr 17,666]

Preuss a shocker around the ground but did win some hit outs in the ruck. There’s no one left to back Max up if they omit Preuss. Won’t even attempt a guess on Tim Smith’s availability.

Lever in some doubt perhaps with May (if we aren’t playing it safe with him) coming in. Hore the standout for Casey from all reports. 

One change I’d like to see is turnovers out.

Slim pickings at Casey, thoughts?

[whatwhat say what 19,091]

Looks like May will definitely be back in, as should Hore be

I imagine outs will come down to Lever’s ankle and whatever mystery injury of the week there is

I really don’t understand playing the likes of JKH - he pretty clearly isn’t going to be with us next year - but it seems the cupboard is empty

IN: May, Hore 

OUT: Lever, JKH

[Wrecker45 3,378]

In: May, Hore

out: don’t care

let’s beat Collingwood then rest everyone who has event a hint of a niggle for the rest of the season

From here, it really doesn’t matter.  The cupboard is indeed bare.

may back in.

Preuss was an absolute liability, but pies have Grundy and Cox , so who supports Max if concrete mitts gets dropped to Casey?  Maybe give Petty a couple of goes to spell max.

hore perhaps in, and maybe move Frosty to the wing?

otherwise, whoever plays, just stop with the stupid mistakes, the terrible skills and the complete lack of understanding of how to play the game.

exit interviews start in 3 weeks....

Out. Oscar and Preuss.

In. May and Hore.

[dees189227 10,808]

May walked past me last night after the game and it looked like he was limping. Not sure if the hammy will come up but I hope it does.

OMac must be dropped for this game - too unable to contest the ball against an opponent, shirks the issues, reliant of chasing whilst getting further and further behind the spoiling zone, creates significant gaps in the backline arriving to the contest after the ball has been marked or delivered by hand and/or foot.

Sportsbet offering $1.45 on the filth.

I know the filth aren't playing well, but fairly generous odds.

[jumbo returns 6,493]

May in - play him forward (if available)

JKH deserves another chance

Omac stays in, albeit by the hair of his chinny, chin chin

PS - A boundary umpire that throw the ball back into play further than 5 metres!

 

[Optimus D 283]

Omac stays, I am expecting 3 BOG's in the coming weeks, will give good currency for a mega trade. Otherwise don't really care.

[Sorry kids 635]

I know Preuss had a shocker but he should play for two reasons. He is our backup ruck if Max goes down and needs to get to understand the game at AFL level. Secondarly we owe it to Max to give him some support for the remaining three dead rubbers for his enormous 2019 performance.

Agree.... He was awful but we've got nothing to lose by playing him for the final few games,  it's perfect opportunity to get games into him and a chop out for Max. 

Hore in for Lever (playing sore) 

May in for Hunt.

Oscar in same boat as Pruess.... Was god awful but we need to play him,  maybe throw him n May forward rotating. 

Result is irrelevant, time to experiment for 2020.

[rolling fog 1,146]

Oscar stays simply for more match time at AFL level - then we can reassess post-season, probably likewise for JKH.

Preuss to stay in purely so Max isn't carrying the full burden - he can only improve surely...

Don't really care who comes in - I've lost faith in our injury timeframes now

Nah

He goes out next week when May comes in. Just watched the reply and... no I wont comment any further on this.

Hore comes in for Lever if he doesn't get up. 

[Megatron 834]

Didn’t Oscar play his school footy as a forward? Why not throw him down there and May back if he’s back in. May as well coz his confidence is shot as a defender at the moment. 

Goody said in his presser that he’s throwing some players around to see what flexibility they may have to offer.

Yeah look if that's the choice then of course May comes in. Issue for me is more around the pliable nature of our injury return dates and whether May will actually be available for selection

J Wags was dropped last weeks

Corey was going well for a bit, but his second half was awful

 

I think we play the likes of Dunkley, Baker, JKH, Petty (and even Preuss and perhaps Omcd) for all remaining games. Need to get them game time at the right level

As bad a Preuss was last night, if he clunks a few of those grabs, and sticks a few tackles, he could have a big impact next year and he's only going to get better for the experience

Season's over, play the kids

[Lord Nev 13,511]

IN: Hore, May

OUT: Lever (inj), Preuss

Play May forward.

May, Petty and Fritta would be an interesting experiment.

Also keen to have a directional leader like May in the forward line and see how it goes.

As i recall, he also played forward in his early days at Casey. Wasn't a spectacular success and you don't want to pin any hopes on him to impact a game, but he didn't look all at sea there.

This hit the nail on the head for our entire season. 

Its an indictment on the coaches and players. 

ITS PATHETIC.
