WERRIDEE

Congrats to May on a fantastic career. I thought Langdon played on Wanganeen-Milera last time and got a bath. I don't think anyone played well enough in the VFL to be considered. I think Culley has to play at least 1 VFL game before being considered. I think Steele would know Wanganeen-Milera's game inside out. I'd consider him to do the job on Wanganeen-Milera in the middle and Turner to go on him when he goes forward. The only change I would make to my side is Sharp to emergency and Melksham out. Is Chandler Pickett's new Spargo? B: Lever, Petty, Salem HB: Jiath, Turner, Lindsay C: Langford, Steele, Langdon HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, K.Pickett F: Fritsch, Miocek, L.Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, Windsor IC: Sparrow, Howes, Tholstrup, Laurie, McDonald EMERG: Culley, Heath, Sharp

I didn’t watch the St.Kilda practice match but he played a lot up forward didn’t he? I’d like to see Disco go to him but in the midfield I don’t know how to stop him, hopefully Kos, Riv, Duke and Steele will have a bigger influence than the Saints midfield.

I’ve answered the call. With Heath being poor in the VFL I’ve picked McDonald as the second ruckman. B: Lever, Petty, Salem HB: Jiath, Turner, Lindsay C: Langford, Steele, Langdon HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, K.Pickett F: Fritsch, Miocek, L.Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, Windsor IC: Sparrow, Howes, Tholstrup, Laurie, McDonald EMERG: Culley, Heath, Melksham

Do they have a list of players who are playing for Casey?

Our key talls are going down like 9 pins, unfortunate for Kentfield. Windsor and Langford were fantastic. The tap work from Gawn was sublime. Team V Saints B: Lever, Petty, McDonald HB: Jiath, Turner, Salem C: Langford, Steele, Lindsay HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, K.Pickett F: Fritsch, Miocek, L.Pickett FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, Windsor IC: Langdon, Sparrow, Howes, Tholstrup, Heath EMERG: Laurie, Culley, Sharp

6 Gawn 5 Windsor 4 Langford 3 van Rooyen 2 Rivers 1 K.Pickett

I expect Petty to play up forward with Miocek and Jefferson out. Possible line up: B: Lever, McDonald, Salem HB: Jiath, Turner, Tholstrup C: Langford, Steele, Lindsay HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, L.Pickett F: Fritsch, Petty, Kentfield FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, K.Pickett IC: Langdon, Sparrow, Windsor, Howes, Laurie, Sharp, Taylor, Matthews For round 1 I expect Miocek to come back in and Laurie, Sharp, Taylor and Matthews to be emergencies. I expect they will take a cautious approach with Culley who hasn't played a preseason match. My Casey team would be: B: Bergman, Adams, W.Lual HB: Taylor, Berry, Bonner C: L.Lual, Onley, Culley HF: Mentha, Melksham, Matthews F: Cross, Ah Mu, La Planche FOLL: Heath, Laurie, Sharp IC: Henderson, McAdam, Moniz-Wakefield, D'Angelo, Sinnema

Rolling best 23 B: Lever, McDonald, Salem HB: Jiath, Turner, Tholstrup C: Langford, Steele, Lindsay HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, L.Pickett F: Fritsch, Miocek, Petty FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, K.Pickett IC: Langdon, Sparrow, Windsor, Howes, Heath EMERG: Culley, Kentfield, Jefferson

I wonder if they will play Petty forward with Miocek out? Jefferson to get first crack in the pocket and Kentfield to come in later

Now that I read this my Casey team is this B: Bergman, Adams, W.Lual HB: Taylor, Berry, Bonner C: L.Lual, Onley, Culley HF: Mentha, Jefferson, Matthews F: Cross, Kentfield, Melksham FOLL: Pipicelli, Laurie, Sharp IC: Henderson, McAdam, Moniz-Wakefield, Ah Mu, Sinnema

HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, L.Pickett

Now that I have read the Casey report I will change the team B: Lever, McDonald, Salem HB: Jiath, Turner, Tholstrup C: Langford, van Rooyen, L.Pickett F: Fritsch, Miiocek, Kentfield FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, K.Pickett IC: Langdon, Sparrow, Windsor, Howes, Heath EMERG: Petty, Culley, Jefferson Casey B: L.Lual, Adams, W.Lual HB: Taylor, Berry, Bonner C: Bergman, Onley, Culley HF: Mentha, Petty, Matthews F: Cross, Jefferson, Melksham FOLL: Ah Mu, Laurie, Sharp IC: Henderson, McAdam, Moniz-Wakefield, Laplanche, Sinnema

There are probably 20 locks. If Jefferson doesn’t get a kick against Richmond then he doesn’t even get into the emergencies. Petty could replace McDonald but McDonald has been in such great form it’s unlikely, Melksham could replace Kentfield or Jefferson if he plays better than them against Richmond depending if he’s over his injury Culley could replace either Tholstrup, Windsor or Howes. I think Howes has done enough to keep his spot, Tholstrup is always on the fringe and Windsor better perform better against Richmond than he did against North

The more I think about it the more I agree. B: Lever, McDonald, Salem HB: Jiath, Turner, Tholstrup C: Langford, Steele, Lindsay HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, L.Pickett F: Fritsch, Miocek, Kentfield FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, K.Pickett IC: Langdon, Sparrow, Windsor, Howes, Heath EMERG: Melksham, Culley, Jefferson Casey B: L.Lual, Adams, W.Lual HB: Taylor, Berry, Bonner C: Bergman, Onley, Culley HF: Mentha, Petty, Matthews F: Cross, Jefferson, Melksham FOLL: Ah Mu, Laurie, Sharp IC: Henderson, McAdam, Moniz-Wakefield, Hampton, Sinnema

I'll try and pick the team for next week B: Lever, McDonald, Salem HB: Jiath, Turner, Tholstrup C: Langford, Steele, Lindsay HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, L.Pickett F: Fritsch, Kentfield, Jefferson FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, K.Pickett IC: Langdon, Sparrow, Windsor, Howes, Heath, Petty, Sharp, Melksham EMERG: Taylor, Adams, Laurie

I'm going to Ballarat with a Richmond supporter should be good.

Does anybody know Melksham's injury? No one has said anything.

6 Kossie 5 Steele 4 Moose 3 Langford 2 L.Pickett 1 Howes

Great effort by the boys it's only preseason but it's easy to get excited by the Pickett's, Moose, Kentfield, Steele and others. The disappointments were Jefferson very quiet and Windsor after an exciting intraclub match it was back to earth. The rest played well I thought. Now to the round 1 team I wouldn't be playing Petty, Melksham, Miocek and Culley unless they play 1 game at VFL level and excel before round 1. Here is my round 1 team. B: Lever, McDonald, Salem HB: Lindsay, Turner, Tholstrup C: Langford, Steele, Howes HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, L.Pickett F: Fritsch, Kentfield, Jefferson FOLL: Gawn, Rivers, K.Pickett IC: Langdon, Sparrow, Windsor, Jiath, Heath EMERG: Petty, Miocek, Culley Does anyone know what happened in the VFL game? Would give me a better insight into Casey.

Just watched the utube version and can't add much the 46 stay the same but I will add how inpressed I was with Taylor and Howes.

A report said McAdam was running well so should be back soon he'll definately be back in the first half of the year.

Haven't watched it but will watch the utube version even though it's missing the first 5 minutes hopefully I'll watch the first 5 minutes on the Melbourne site. I won't put Salem, Jiath or Petty in the side until they play some football. Really concerning about Petty he's been out a while with concussion should have come back the same time as Kentfield. Cross and Ah Mu are interesting with Campbell out with a neck injury which are never good,May out for a while with personal issues and White out with Glandular fever we could see them on our list at some time.
