CASEY: Rd 21 vs Carlton VFL

[Diamond_Jim 12,529]

Woewodin showing strength... looking okay for next year but needs that X factor

[Deebauched 1,220]

If Tmac and Tomlinson get through unscathed at Casey atleast one has to bepicked to play next week. We have try something up forward again FFS.

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Woe having a solid game around the stoppage.

A good chance to come in for JJ if he continues

So Petty, JVR and Jefferson are not AFL standard? Ok Jason Taylor tell me more 

Agree JNM. As we won our 2021 flag he wouldn't have been thinking of BBB  or Tmac so near their end due primarily to injury. Also Petty snd Fritata st same time. 

Also JVR and MJ plus are great prospects. 

By your standards Goody and JT should be looking at defenders now to add to Disco and Jed Adams and you may be right.

Dunstan’s stats line looks impressive. 

Any chance next week?

Probably not but I'd have him as an emergency everyday of the week over Harmes.

[Diamond Tim 291]

Has Tmac shown enough to usurp Brodie??

[KC from Casey 7,057]

Goal to the Blues puts them 10 points up.

[Chook 15,012]

Been watching the dodgy VFL webstream all day - didn't realise it was on Free To Air lol.

He looks like someone who hasn't played a game of football for three months.

In all seriousness, he's competed ok in the air and ruck. Our inside 50's haven't helped.

spargo a moral to play afl next week if he gets thru the rest of this game and training during the week unscathed

too good for vfl level

Not for mine. I think we go with Grundy for another week.

The cupboard has Ben Brown, TMac, Petty and Fritsch in it. The list has plenty of tall forward talent, the problem is injuries.

Ben Brown and Tmac dusted, Petty is a possible, milkshake dusted, Jefferson looks to be a 50/50 at the moment. Van Rooyen and Fritta are the only true positive targets. We should traded for a forward rather than Grundy. 2019 we new weid was a lost cause.

[M_9 2,078]

Yeah. Schache is the answer. Not.

Ok, and which key forward was on the market last year?

[chook fowler 19,444]

Laurie is class - great ball use

That makes three!  Duh

[Chook 15,012]

McDonald going pretty well as the game goes on. Tomlinson too.

I wouldn't be upset with Spargo, Tomlinson and McDonald into our best 22 come finals time. I think McDonald needs the time in the VFL but could very well be the answer for us for the 4 weeks of September.

[Heart Beats True 1,180]

Tomlinson is far too good for VFL.

We may replace Jordon with a non-mid but if we wanted another mid (and I’m of the view our midfield depth is too thin compared to our competitors) surely Dunstan is doing everything we’ve been asking of him. 

31 disposals, 7 tackles and a goal to 3QT is a fair effort, although admittedly I’m not watching and therefore have no insight into quality of his disposals or the impact they’re having.

Those disposal figures differ greatly from the AFL Live app for Dunstan (app says 31) and Harmes (app says 25).

Dunstan rarely hurts with his possessions at VFL level.

At AFL level he doesn't get enough

[The heart beats true 18,109]

Spargo will play seniors next week. Disposal forward is more critical without 2 contested markers forward.
