That still means that one of Rivers or Brayshaw plays midfield if we play 7 defenders. 

If Hunter goes (which he shouldn’t) I’d put McVee on the wing he was far from our worst last night

Daniel Turner has to come in imo.

Jake Levers form has taken a complete nose dive ever since they moved Petty which has left him playing as 2nd key defender which it's been proven over time that he plays his best footy as a floating intercept defender.

We built our our premiership defence off the back of playing 3 tall defenders. Stick to that.

Amen to this until Petty returns.

Who comes out though?  Or straight in for Bowey (inj)??

If we lose this match at the MCG to Freo like last year then this year can bugger off.

I think the FD will persist with JVR. They love the fact that he competes. Those calling for Nibbler or Langers to be dropped are wasting their breath/ keystrokes. Won’t happen. Those two and Spargo are always going to be picked when fit.

I don’t reckon TMac did enough to hold his spot. Has Turner ever played forward?

Don't think so. 

BBB most likely gets the nod over Macca provided he has an injury free run at Casey

There's little at Casey.. perhaps they will get desperate and try Joel Smith up front

Bowey out allows Sparrow back in

Could well be no change

Struggles to get a kick at Casey but I guess it must be easier at AFL level 

Not sure why people seem desperate to promote a player that isn’t in form and seems incapable of making a contest and chase when not in possession 

Plenty looked slow last night and you want to add potentially our most immobile player - struggle to see the merit in this 

We would run all the great leading full forwards out of form, it's a dysfunctional forward line, we don't have a Lockett, Brown ect but hey lets just bomb it in and expect it to be done.

just watch Casey today

we'll play the boundary and bomb it forward. Even have the left side kick out.

Do we ever practice anything different ... even for a quarter or two at VFL level let alone at AFL level

lmfao and we do that to.

If Hunter is suspended does that allow Langdon to play on the other wing for the week. They seemed to swap sides at the start of the year. 

[Orion 328]

Have to start thinking outside of the box.  Maybe try Brayshaw forward

[whatwhat say what 15,082]

Prior to the Casey game, I would assume…

OUT: Hunter (suspended), McDonald, McVee
IN: Sparrow, Brown

JJ needs either a full game at afl level or straight up get dropped - he offered little last night after coming in for Bowey

Brayshaw must return to defence - too slow to transition between offence and defence as a mid

Bring BB back in. No point waiting. I think JVR's indiscipline was due to frustration at his lack of impact. Give him a few weeks at Casey to refocus.

I'm not very confident about TMac but maybe he'll be better with a game under his belt. He did kick 2 goals.

Sparrow to replace JJ.

And a kick

[leave it to deever 10,349]

Out. Softest tackles ever.

In. The occasional mark.

I hate everything about Freo.

That's it. Thats my post.

Is it too late to call up the great man?

[Bring-Back-Powell 10,629]

Will be our best win of the season to date if we salute, given how in form Freo are.

Hand the great man a mid season draft lodgement form.
