Agree. He has shown enough at Casey for his chance. 
 

Jake might have had a tough week with the newborn coming home.  Might be a chance for him to get 2 hours sleep on the bench. ??

Kossie to get more midfield time with Chandler in I wonder?

[The heart beats true 18,076]

Really exciting day for us tomorrow. Get to see the forward line we’ve been trying to build for a few years. I also think the weather will hold out which will make it easier for us to evaluate the dynamics of our forward structures.

I really hope Chandler takes his chance. That will help the balance of our list and set the standard for work rate for our forwards.

Not only do good teams get good tv times, they also get good umpires.... Never knew that was a thing! Been so long

Good to go on Sunday. Chandler and Weid now have their opportunity.   Lets see what they do against  Carlton.  Take the bull  by the horns. 

Bring it on.

If that is the case Mitch & Maj played a full game today.  Do players ever back up from the VFL the next day in the seniors? 

Normally Mitch would be an auto in here if he didn't play today surely.

Huh? Why would we bring in Mitch Brown for Petracca?

Melksham would be the obvious choice should that be needed.

I would have thought Sparrow would be the one to play if Petracca couldn't

Haha well it is Saturday night, play on.

[dazzledavey36 54,038]

There's footage going around that Trac was moving freely at today's captains run??

After seeing that I would be surprised if he is not playing.

I realize that but if Petracca is unable to play tomorrow they would have known before today and made sparrow an emergency

Uhm where is the vomit emoji?!

Not sure why people are happy Melk has been dropped, while I don’t see what others “have” this season he’s still one of us. Hopefully he can go back and find his game again! Or is it more a self congratulatory high 5 to yourself…

Sorry, thought we were dealing in the current realities; not taking your opinion as fact. As you were.

I doubt most are happy as such Cards.  Melk is a fringe 22 player so he needs to up the ante' to maintain his place.

There's always going to be a bottom 6 or so in a similar position who are fighting to do so.

Opportunities sometimes then occasionally arise for fringe players waiting their turn at VFL level to step up and see what they can do, provided they've earned it of.course.

Provided There's quality depth coming from underneath i would think this is a healthy thing all round.  Player in waiting gets a chance to perform and some experience at the highest level.  Coaches get to see whether he can play the role being asked and where he's at. 

I see this as a very healthy situation.

Compare this to the alternative of a bottom 6 or less, say 2, 3 or more under-performing and/or few injuries and no one coming through to take their place.  I know which position i'd rather be in as a club/FD/coach.

Sorry I should have said the self congratulatory group. 
 

Can’t wait for tomorrow, after tonight the Dees need to step it up again, Togs not done, Dogs are top of the pops.

A long way to go ...plenty can happen.  Fingers & toes crossed every week from here.  Luck plays a fair role also.
