VFL team in full anywhere?

Goodwin mentioned that a raft of Melbourne players will play this week either in JLT or the VFL. Is there a Casey game? Has been referred to in a number of articles but I can't find any specifics. Be good to know if it's on and when.

Is there training at Gosch's tomorrow morning?

Is there training in the morning?

Is there training on Wednesday? If so, what time? Thanks.

Yes it is. May alone is not worth a first rounder.

Exactly. Picks 9 & 10 is a fail. Minimum picks 4 & 9. Doubt that we've ever 'won ' a trade deal. Sadly I think we will roll over yet again . Sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Selecting a bloke because he is captain. Clearly u havent watched him in the finals.Given absolutely zero. Rawlings needed to make the tough call and leave him out today. Glaringly obvious.

Why? The blokes had two possessions in two matches. Played one short.

Lose this and Rawlings has had a lot to answer. In a close finish Hutchins has cost us. Clearly sentimental garbage being captain influenced selection. Fat, slow, barely a suburban footballer.

Fritsch simply outstanding.

Must pay Garlett out. Pederson about to retire.

Hutchins best work has been in boundary line interviews.

Playing one short with Hutchins. An absolute liability. Only stat last week two tackles. Might be captain but shouldn't be playing. Hopefully he contributes before his last game at Casey is over.

Totally agree.

Will the club be likely to have a big screen somewhere for thousands of Dee's supporters to congregate and watch? I'm sure it would be very well attended.

Who is the speed from last year? Spargo? And...? Maybe Fritsch. I like Baker but he is a bit of a dasher, not speed. Anyone else? Balic? Lever? Petty? Long way to go to get the outside pace we so badly need.

Hoping one of the first items on his agenda is to dump the NT or, at the very least, negotiate a minimum 7 day break. Queen's Birthday negotiations could be very interesting!

Don't forget Joel Smith!

Jackson Trengove for me. Much cheaper, restricted free agent and can play defence, forward and ruck. Proven.

In essence I agree with you WJD, however, if May is gettable I would think it is a priority. He brings leadership, strength and a mongrel we are so badly lacking. At his best he would make OMac,TMac & Frost and others around him better players and free them up for what they do best.Yes, we don't want to sell the farm. First round pick is probably too much, unless we have stellar run and finish high on the ladder (unlikely). Prefer a player and second round pick. GC won't like that but if he really wants to go players usually hold the whip hand. $600,00 may seem steep but after forking out similar for Chris Dawes it seems like chicken feed. Agree, re second forward/ ruck and outside speed but I'm not sure any more vital than the potential qualities May would bring to us. Anyway, probably a moot point. He will most likely re sign with the Suns and after they beat us this week why would he want to come to the Demons? *Money on Lynch to kick 7 given reasonable conditions.
