[Whispering_Jack 30,329]

Some big changes for this week’s game.

In: Harmes Jordon Melksham Woewodin 

Out: Baldi Buntine Munro Sheridan

Jimmy Munro out injured is a big loss. 

All four MFC players named as emergencies for tomorrow are named four Casey. One will be the substitute and, depending on whether he’s used and for how long, may not play on Sunday for Casey.

[Bystander 903]

Hard to see bombers beating that line-up.

Bummer I enjoy going to windy Hill not sure why  be honest, it was [censored] when bombers played there and is now in a serious case of decay. Weather is rain and windy on Sunday should just peachy at Tulla! Looks like tv game to me.

With two Smiths and two Turners on our list, it wouldn't hurt to include players' intitials in the team lineup.

My last trip to Windy Hill was in 60's. My cousins and I, plus neighbours' kids, were conveyed there in the back of my uncle's ute. But we had a blanket.

34 = Deakyn Smith

42 = Daniel Turner 

Joel Smith and Kye Turner are both on the injured list.

[Roger Mellie 4,058]

Baldi and Sheridan are stiff to be dropped. One will go back in for Jordon. The last time Casey lost Munro didn't play.

It's changed... no ticket required..just walk in. They don't have a scoreboard so they wheel in an old fashioned yellow light board.. so small that as a visitor you have to ask where it is.

Have seen some videos of the outdoor oval at the Hangar. Looks fine but nowhere near the memories of Windy Hill

Loss of Munro and Buntine (and White still out). Very young Casey group.   Jordon probably will be sub so expect Baldi to play.

Looking forward to the commentators going ape droppings every time Tippa goes anywhere near the ball.

I don't know why they scheduled Sydney at home.

You could have done VFL gather round this weekend in Melbourne.

Too easy for supporters...AFL would have gone for Cloncurry.

[Whispering_Jack 30,329]

This is probably the first time in several seasons that Casey have gone into a game without both “heart and soul” players in Mitch White and James Munro but to offset that they have a few Demons with a lot to prove and some up and coming Casey players to make this an interesting contest.

[MadAsHell 4,213]

Essendon with both Lenny Hayes and Aaron Lord playing off their half back line.

Playing out of position, but good to see they're both still running around after all these years.

We have a very inexperienced backline.

It will be a real test for them.

With respect one of our Smiths is only half on the list

[Demonland 72,524]

Melbourne’s form yesterday opens it up for a few players looking for promotion to the Anzac Eve game.

[Roost it far 8,329]

We need Laurie, Turner, Schache and Jefferson and perhaps Adams ripping this game apart, oh and the coach as Goodwin needs to bed dropped after yesterday.

Rare opportunity for a small forward to strut their stuff and take Spargo’s spot, for a week at least.

I know the theory behind TMac’s running but also think Schache as a 200cm 26 year old  has an opportunity to show how he can be a more potent second ruck as well as forward.

Is this game televised on 7?
