VFL | Casey names magnificent seven (melbournefc.com.au)

Don't know if there is another thread on this? if it is merge it.

Strong side 16 Melbourne listed players playing.

Bedford obviously the medi sub.

Great to see a genuine curtain-raiser at the MCG. Equivalent to a reserves match, just like the good old days.

I reckon the Roos or Eagles would love to have that forward line. 

I wonder what times they will open the gates.

This team would probably get the job done over North and Weagles.

Is Rosman injured or unwell?  Haven't heard any such news on him this week.

Bedford named as an "In" but doesn't appear in the team, which suggests that he may again be our Injury Sub in the main game.

I have to go through gate 5 so that means I can't get in until after half time or can you still attend going through gate 3 if they will let you.

Fantastic outcome.   Need more of it.

Get down there and support all the boys if you can.  Plenty of good talent running around including our Permiership players Hibb & Rivers.

JVR, Moniz (silky and could be a beauty given time!!), Ellison (not on list but a real goer....possibly a better watch up forward), Mitch, Turner, Daw,  Weid, Chandler.  Munro & White great stalwarts for Casey both play a very high standard.

What a great lineup and incentive to get to the G early, just like old times, and support the boys.

More likely unwell?   Looked fine last week although i didnt see the last 10 minutes

What a great opportunity for JVR., AMW, Laurie and the like to get to ply their wares at the coliseum that is the G vs a windswept suburban ground. 

Hopefully no big issues with Rosman. He's been doing well in the games j have seen. 

 

Have to feel for the young Casey boys trying to get into this team. Each week the regular Casey boys such as Munro, White, Grey and Ellison doing very well.

Well done to them all. Seems to be a good spirit in the team as well.

You can enter through any gate and walk around to your designated area once inside.

Gates open at 3:30pm. 👍🏽

My prediction as to the line up after the elevation of Mitch Brown to the AFL team. Josh Smith who was so impressive last week on debut is also out. He has been replaced by Roan Steele.

Yep, no Mitch.

(Aside from the White variety)

First blood to the Swans who lead 6 - 2.

Having big problems establishing a decent stream

McVee's started off nicely.  Weid getting involved

Nice pass from JVR to Sam Weideman who kicks his 100th VFL goal (a dubious distinction?).

Confirmed here: 

The emergencies were Bedford, Rivers, Melksham and Brown. Looks like Brown is either the sub or taking TMac's spot. Which of the other emergencies are playing right now for Casey?

Rivers puts a lovely pass out in front of Weid who didnt take the opp.  Rebounds back around to Grey who picks it up from outside 50 runs in and kicks a lovely goal from about 45
