I don’t really think we are hoping for blokes to push for selection at this stage. The seniors are settled. If there are injuries though, we have some depth. Guys that play our system. 

Dunstan, Brown, Tomlinson, Bedford and Chandler are all very good Casey players and Tommy Mc’s obviously a level above.

But it probably is strange to see a very dominant VFL side without a deep crop of players who are really pushing for AFL selection. There’s not the standard collection of 30+ disposal winning fringe midfielders.

Ladhams is gone. Been looking to snipe blokes all quarter. That was dog 

Reportable surely

That’s dirty

Ladhams is [censored] weak. Absolutely grub and needs to get suspended 

That hit on Taj. And he was out of bounds when he was flattened. 😡

Can’t see T Mac playing Friday after this hit out. Been ok but needs another run

Looking slow, lumbering along, though has been getting up the ground, his setting up of the play and composure has been good.

Definitely gone there. He ran in after taj spiked the ball. Intentional and stupid.

Should miss next week

Tomlinson’s AFL career is over. His skills are so sub standard, particularly his foot skills

Sadly hasn’t looked right since the knee injury. 
5% mobility loss changing direction is enough at Top Level

He has just coughed up another kick that results in a turnover and goal.

Had a shocking day but his kicking has been great most of the year. If he gets his mobility back from awful to the standard very ordinary he’ll be ok depth again. Kicking is the least of his worries

T-Mac’s wearing second-hand boots that he bought this morning from Facebook marketplace! 🤣

He would put his own inner soles in, I'd hope.

these junk time goals are flattering Sydney atm

Is this a stock standard Dunstan VFL game, because he’s been very impressive. Should be playing AFL for someone.

 

Ladhams flattens a first year player half his size off the ball, then doesn’t contest the ruck contest he’s there for. Tuff 👍

Luke Dunstan must be worth considering for the Interchange Bench for the Seniors 

He could be useful in a tough Final.

Not without a big payout!  Brainstrust at the club gave him a 5 year x $500K a year contract and this is the third year by my count.

Ridiculous decision to lock him in for that long - and $150K a year too much.  He wasn't even a regular for GWS in 2019.

Luke Dunstan has had a number of chances this year and has not taken them.

Played 25 games for GWS in 2019

Has 1 season to go contracted

I can't understand why we haven't pushed him into another position, Wing or High Fwd

A full pre season and hopefully has 1 good year left

South Port Sharks have an old style man mountain as their ruckman. Will be interesting to see Weideman up against him if the teams meet in the GF

What are you on about he was a regular for GWS in 2019, played almost every game and was one of their better players in the grand final loss.

He’s no superstar but don’t make stuff up

Brown, Dunstan, Chandler, Bedford and Weideman all ready to go if there's injuries. 

Can't see TMac getting back in to the side this year. Too many cobwebs to be blown out yet, but he's on the park so that's a start.

I was impressed with Woewodin and Grey.

Depth for injuries only I reckon, he's great depth, but just depth
