To not have Hibberd as an absolute certainty off a HBF is just stupid. Will nearly be the first Defender that Goodwin locks in. Goodwin will naturally be so keen to get Hibberd & Melksham back to Senior footy asap. Goody & Macca haven't brought these 2 Essendon buddies over to play at Casey. They'll get plenty of time to re-establish their careers I also think that Joel Smith could be the Pre Season smokie that forces his way into the side. I think Harmes slips to about 25 on the Pecking order.

AF, Harmes doesn't deserve to carry Dal Santo's bags.

La La Lumumba sums him up perfectly. When I heard that nutcase telling Tim Watson that he was struggling to overcome the loss of Mohammed Ali weeks after his death, I quickly realised why Collingwood pushed him out the door. Hopefully, in my lifetime, we never get so bloody bad again that we have to take other Club's damaged goods like La La & Dawes on such lucrative, long term contracts.

I remember speaking to Scott at the time of him leaving us as I was involved at Sandy and he was playing a lot of footy there. He told me in these exact words that he was looking to go back home as Daniher doesn't rate me.

Joeboy, are serious about Harmes???? Harmes = error after error

Harmes at 13 & Bugg at 14. That must be wrong, otherwise we'd be down with Essendon on 1 or 2 wins!!!! in a top 4 side Harmes is about 25 & Bugg isn't on their List!!!

Every time I look at Weideman, I see Michael Newton. Same build with those broad shoulders, same running gait. I am also worried that Weideman, like Newton is just a straight line, mark & kick player. Seems to lack agility, lateral movement & aggression. Gee, I hope I'm wrong.

Well said Monoccular!! Can't wait to rid ourselves of Dawes & Lumumba. We certainly appreciate why Collingwood more than just traded both of them, they actually PUSHED them out the door. I really resent both of them!!!

Two pieces of info I found it yesterday is that Dees have a 5 year ofer on the Table for Prestia. I wasn't told how much, just how long. I was was also told that Tom Mac wants $700,000 per season.

Totally agree. Club must make a serious statement as well relieving the pressure on Jones to allow him to play out his career without the burden of Captaincy. 217 games played for 159 losses & 58 wins. Time for change.

This game has confirmed that Mitch White & Jack Grimes are Delists. Just not athletic enough is White and not good enough is Grimes. Vandenberg & Kennedy are a real concern, both should be doing better on more consistent basis.

I hope I'm wrong because we need his kicking ability, however, big question mark on pace and athleticism. I think a defender with these defincies will struggle with the current defensive style. Can we clone Easton Wood?

Having just read that some fools think Stretch should be dropped after yesterday, I'll turn off and watch the tennis. Besides playing well, he has what we don't have much of and that's genuine leg speed.

The entire panel of On The Couch has just written Dawes off. Was singled out as being the primary player that now must make way for the future as we can now not possibly play finals. But wait, I'm sure in the true spirit of Demonland everyone on that Panel is a know nothing, has been [censored]. Oh well, best we ignore them and continue with this waste of space Dawes.

It has been stated that apart from being a good player, it his aggression & toughness that we seek so much. I can understand this as there certainly isn't any mongrel in our defence apart from a little in Jetta. There certainly isn't any chance of any "unsociable" footy from the 2 x MacDonalds, Lumumba, Frost, Salem, Garland, & Wagner. An opposition Forward has more chance of getting a hug from that lot than something that might have them looking over their shoulder.

100% chance of 30 mm of heavy rain forecasted for days in advanced and we go in with Gawn, Hogan, Dawes, Frost, Watts & 2 x MacDonalds. Surely we had to leave out Dawes & Oscar Mac and bring in 2 runners such as Harmes, Grimes, Michie.

One of your best Joeboy!! That said, I think you are a little harsh on Stretch and a little too positive on Jetta.

I must admit to getting so frustrated at the FD's insistence at playing Frost up forward that I personally approached Brendan Macartney at the Casey v Sandy game to firstly enquire about his personal opinion on Frost and then in a very respectful manner I expressed my opinion that I believed Frost was never going to make a Forward as long as his ass pointed to the ground but with his pure athleticism and closing speed was a real chance as a KD. i will tell you that Brendan was very engaging but made it clear that he thinks he will be capable at both ends but prefers him more as a Forward.

Wow Stuie, we're a lot further behind than what I think we are if either Matt Jones or Harmes are in our BEST 22.

Harmes doesn't get it enough and when he does, he's like a rabbit in the headlights. Has no tricks and no smarts. Kent is just an enormous tease. Harmes & Kent - Out Grimes & Alex NB - In

Why can't he mark?

Surely both Kent & Harmes must be dropped for next week.

Lots of limitations but I can't believe he hasn't been selected over Kent. Harmes also needs a 4 quarter performance.

Out - O MacDonald, Kent, Harmes, Garland) In - Dunn, Trengove, Grimes, Pederson,

I would suggest O MacDonald is getting picked ahead of Dunn and whilst I think Oscar will be a player, he is 2 pre-seasons away.
