chook fowler

Had a colonoscopy- an even worse omen.

He couldn’t have done it without you

Wimp.

A good insight. He has done so well to get the best out of himself

He’s only 19 so I hardly think he would be frustrated at not being played at this stage. I believe our player management and development is now first class. Also I think he has just extended his contract. The days of players pizzing off at the first opportunity seem to be over.

I remember him being laughed at as well - that changed very quickly. A great man, sorely missed.

Gee, Rawlings is impressive- wouldn’t mind betting he gets a senior gig one day. Great to see Casey play the same high pressure contested footy as our firsts. Everyone is singing from the same songbook at last.

I remember seeing him play in a reserves game wearing glasses, against Footscray I think.

My bad

Thanks for the reminder

He’s a bit stiff to be limp.

Well done to Gerard Whately - I thought he conducted that interview very well and Simon was fantastic.

Well, that’s put roundup on the Weed theory.

If Weed comes in it will give max some ruck respite as well. His inclusion makes sense. The Smokey is Pedo.

I think Oscar will take Cox. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Weed come in and Smith and Fritsch spend some time down back.

Interesting that Vince played Jenkins against Adelaide,who is obviously a tall, and beat him well. If he could take a similar in the Pies forward line it would allow us to play a medium sized defender to replace Lever e.g. Wagner

One of those heart and soul good stories that make me happy to be a Dees supporter. I hope a deal gets done ASAP.

How good is that! Shows what a tight unit the players are. Cudos to Godwin, PJ and Mahoney. Next up to the plate - Gus.

I also heard Melksham say in a presser that Tim Smith may go back. He is a good one on one player and loves to tackle. Not overly tall but plays big. Could work in combo with Fritsch whose disposal from the backline would be a weapons.

I’d settle for the ball

The best way of overcoming Levers’ absence is for the midfield to win the clearances and give our forwards good supply. We didn’t do that well against the Dogs and were lucky their forward line was such a shambles. Can’t afford to let it happen against the Filth.

I think our tactics guru Craig Jennings may have a lot to say about the Pie matchups in the absence of Lever. I have a feeling his fingerprints are all over our recent success - and that is not to denigrate Goodies contribution

Frost to negate Cox, which shouldn’t be too hard, releasing Oscar to play a centre half back type role with Fritsch helping with intercept marking and run off half back.

I think Melksham will get up but with 3 recent BOGs and still only 21 I would much prefer Stretch.

Can’t for the life of me how Garlett has done enough since going back to Casey to justify another game. Goes against everything Goodwin is about.
