Tough Kent

Definitely #46 Michael Reynolds.

Where'd you hear that?

I'll be there. As bad as we can be I love the weekend ritual of going to the footy to watch my beloved Dees with hope in my heart. I miss it like [censored] when the season is over.

Brayshaw to a half back flank. He'll find the footy there and I'd rather him with the ball in hand streaming off half back than a few others.

Our lack of depth was sorely tested. We can't replace Tyson, Salem, Kent, Frost, vandenBerg, and even Petracca. We have a solid 25 at the moment and some developing kids. It doesn't help when one team is up and about and playing for a top 4 spot and the other one has little to play for and looking for the end of the season.

Is Mitch White a chance for this week? Obviously the kid is not ready but he has been consistent at Casey, shown he has some AFL qualities and he could slot into Nev's back pocket. It's a nice time to give Mitch a look at the tempo of an AFL game at the end of the season so that he knows what it's going to take to make the grade in 2016.

Would that be due to a lack of interest on SM's behalf or the clubs?

A recent tweet from Ch 7's Tom Browne: Max Gawn has been in great form , and I understand he's right on the verge of re-signing for 2 , possibly 3 years @melbournefc ‪#‎afl

You think there's anything in that Chaser?

Bringing in Toump after his 6 possession performance against Box Hill yesterday??? Michie will be further exposed against the WB at Etihad. He is so slow and doesn't have any hurt factor. I watched Higgins start behind him at contests yesterday and comfortably get past him and run away from him with ease. He is not an AFL footballer.

Sorry???

We play NM at the MCG.

He'll play as the 23rd man.

Close family links.

It looks like Jake will debut for Casey this Saturday. It will be a good chance for us to have a look at him in the flesh.

Jake kicked 3 and was named 3rd best today. He's found some form, the kid.

Goals: King 2, Muir, Newton, Page, Salem, Terlich, Toumpas Disposals: Fitzpatrick 17, Newton 17, Riley 16, Gent 14

In: Matt Jones. Turnover merchant but who isn't in our side?? At least he provides leg speed and defensive pressure in our forward 50.

Jake Lovett was BOG for Dandenong today. It was his best performance for the year. Hopefully he is firing at the right time.

Stats: Goals White, Newton, King. Dis: Bail 22, Terlich 16, Neal-Bullen 15

Thanks for sharing wjd. Do you know why Dan favoured North over the other bidders? Better terms?

They're out there. Hard to find, but back to White. A bird in the hand.... The kid will be okay. In what I've seen of him this year we'd mad to get rid of him.

You reckon we should've brought in some more mature, ready to go Michie/Riley/Newton types??? Give me kids who could turn into something any day. Patience is a virtue.

If you've got a kid on your list you think could be a good player, you don't let him go. Especially when he's on your rookie list. You back your coaches in to do something with him.

I feel we need good players. White looks like he'll develop into one. He has some attributes that in time could make us a better team at AFL level. That's enough for me.
