You never know Jaded. The club have a number of measures that aren’t obvious to people outside the clubs inner circle.

Or people with eyes. Or fans who have half a clue.

Certainly would look at bringing the Weed back in. His last two weeks have been excellent and I reckon he has gained confidence 

Agree, but suspect they'll leave him there for a while, let him really build on the work he's doing.

Majak Daw? Are people [censored] serious?

It doesn't make much sense to me. If they were only going to play Brown a half at Casey,  why didn't they just select him for AFL this week?

I thought they were holding him off as a loading exercise, but it doesn't seem to make much sense.

Cmon its MFC Some selections are like Bingo numbers!

Wouldn’t it be the same old story though? Bloke dominates at VFL level and comes into the seniors and literally has no impact. We’ve seen it all before. 
 

Did Brown actually play reduced minutes or are some posters just giving him an out. Plenty of people on the MFC Facebook page disputing that he played limited game time. 3 disposals for an entire game is very very poor. He was great last week. Would love to know his total minutes.

Well Goody can't give his usual inaccurate reports on any players in the Casey team. Overstates form and training far too much IMO. 

[titan_uranus 22,219]

Well, we’ve put ourselves in this situation by not picking Brown after he kicked 5. Now he has this weird “did he play” game and the angst sets in further. 

IMO it can’t be Weid next week. We gave that an extended crack and it didn’t work.

Didn't Weid have 20+ touches and kick 1.3 or something last week too though? In thought I read he played week just didn't finish.

Great, just what we need … a another player who ‘can’t finish’

It’s perplexing. The MC seem to have done that thing where you tie yourself in knots convincing yourself something is the right thing to do. And then when you look back at it in the cold light of day - it’s just stupid and self defeating. 

You recruited a FF, because you wanted to have two talls plus a resting ruck, and then TMac form and the first 6 games scuppers that planning? And to play a bloke on and off for a half only invites ridicule and pressure.

We have 7 weeks to fashion a forward line that has TMac, Brown, Jackson/Gawn, Fritsch, ANB, and Pickett. That is talented enough to score 80 points…

Mitch brown rolled his ankle last week..Bedford was ok tonight & Lockhart …chandler not so. 

Where did you find out that’s what happened to Mitch Brown? I’ve found it frustrating to get info on it! He came off at quarter time last week and didn’t play this week, but they didn’t mention him at all in our injury list. Surely they could of mentioned he was a “test”.

I wonder if the late announcement of the Thursday night game through planning out?

ie teams were picked for Sat arvo already (not including Brown or Weid), then Sat arvo happened and they decided that the forward line needs changes, and with the short turn around they decide they want the "in" to be fresh enough so they don't have time to wait until after the game to decide so choose Brown and only play him for a half.

No mention of Bailey Laurie either was apparently in a sling at the footy..

Why didn't we try Daw or J.Smith up forward.  We seem to be back to making dumb decisions. 

Worthy of consideration.

Last week on TV I thought Weid looked good but he is playing a role similar to TMacc who is excelling in that fed roaming role up to the wing. We need a deep target for him to kick too.

It was listening to the commentators who said he had rolled his ankle & the other comment was that Bedford was the top small forward in the VFL at present. So no other source of info !

Two fat ladies- 21.

All the 3's - 24

A 1 and a 4 - 32.

Maybe that's why I was banned from calling Bingo.

We didn’t know the fixture for R17 was going to have a 5 day break when the team was selected.

I’d like to see Bedford come in for Kozzy this week… he’s earned his chance and Kozzy needs a break in the VFL; hopefully he’ll also take a break from believing the hype.
