Rosman concussion? Looked like the bump didn’t get him high

Didn't appear that way but came off with a blood nose. Must have had some high contact that wasnt obvious on the coverage.

I’d be comfortable with Tomlinson back in. Turner could be one pre season away from exploding as well. He’s looked great all year at VFL. 
 

Geez that forward line does sound refreshing!

I'd had Turner ahead of Tomlinson. Most of the damaging AFL key forwards are either mobile (Curnow, Cameron, Naughton, Hipwood, Daniher, Riewoldt, McKay) or beasts {Lynch, Hawkins). Tomlinson is a straight ahead player with poor agility. I don't see him as an AFL defender any more.

its a joke we played Hunt ahead of Bowey

Hunt earnt his spot. Rivers and Salem were poor in both finals.

Looked a medial for Tom. 

I think we simply can't plan around TMAC being available next year. If we can't find a KPF, then we find another mobile KPD and play Petty forward.

[Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 3,818]

Tommy trots back on.

[chook fowler 18,211]

Weed just might turn out to be the Jackson replacement in the second ruck. Has had a good game

I see what you’re saying. But I think you’re writing Tomlinson off too soon. It’s his first year back from an ACL. 

[KC from Casey 6,514]

The forgotten forward Sam Weideman gets in the goalkicking action and puts Casey up by 46 points.

He’s bounced back on to the ground.

I’d say ideally McDonald and JVR could be good for 22 between them if not both of them.

Definitely would love a Brown/Jackson replacement in addition to the 2 bigs.

Wakefield has been awesome. So exciting. Has a bit of Fritta about him. 
 

Mitch Brown is an amazing VFL player. I think we should delist him but Casey should sign him up. He looks like he can play 10 more years at this level. 

[dees189227 10,755]

It is so frustrating watching Weiderman clunk these marks.

A shame he couldn't take his opportunity in the seniors.

A concussed nose

[Nascent 7,232]

Weids been huge today and capping off his afternoon with two contested grabs and a goal. Ruck/forward will be his way back into the team going forward .

Just means you're not developing a forward.

He's not a tall so he's not much good for training small forwards.

Winning is nice but it's not really the main reason why we have a VFL team

And as some pointed out last week the VFL salary cap is so low he could make more money playing in the suburban league

[adonski 9,136]

AMW an intriguing prospect

I expect JVR will play much less VFL next year and the prospect of Weideman is well, not the best. 
There is plenty of space to develop another tall both forward and in the ruck. 

[KC from Casey 6,514]

Mitch Brown joins the goal feast well into time on.

[Jaded No More 57,784]

A brilliant performance. The tackling and hardness at the ball a real stand out. 
Casey doing us proud after last night’s very disappointing effort. 

[layzie 28,693]

That tears it 

[Pennant St Dee 11,257]

Weird has shown plenty the last couple of games as a ruck forward.

Be interested to see him played in that role for the pre season and into next. Just might be his future role at AFL level.

Couldn’t play him, Tmac and Brown in the same forward line but you could play him Tmac and JVR who has a lot more mobility and much better below his knees

The ruckwork of T Mac and JVR when up forward has me thinking that Max plays 85% game time as a pure ruckman, and T Mac and JVR could share the other 15%. Ditch the idea of playing Max up forward. 

I've liked how Weid has developed as a ruckman, but he's not good enough as an AFL forward.

[3183 Dee 2,602]

That’s kind of how I imagined last night panning out.

[wizardinoz 2,015]

Just reported Milkshake should be eligible for Casey next week. Peed off about Bowey, though.

[Jaded No More 57,784]

JVR is so cute. Spoke like a true first year player. Get him a girlfriend ASAP so he doesn’t contemplate doing a Jackson!
