Weed won't be dropped Tmac Will if Rick Lever is fit.

Who is that ?

Some have earned immediate spots others have had to work and on both cases it's all made proper sense. JVR does not need a distraction to his development at this stage. Let him be at Casey unless Covid rears it's ugly head.

That's the first I have heard that. Who is your source.? I am very happy with JVR and don't believe he is in line for selection vs Port on Thursday night. What other tips etc have "Storm and Wiz" given us of any reliability. Sorry sounds about as credible as Mrs Havershams cats having a mid morning milk sip meeting. We don't need to do a "Jack Watts debut any time soon" so get your gear ready BBB and kicking boots on. T Mac medi sub ?

Clarry Helped majorly win us the game and Gus stood stoutly and strong to save us any embarrassment.

Agree

1. Bannon ( 3 goals in AFLW relates to about 6/7 in AFL) Her speed is breathtaking. 2. Paxman ( Absolute best game of year and controlled that wing all day The D/L er who wanted to retire Pacy about R3 should voluntarily retire from Demonland !) 3. L. Pearce ( very lucky they missed the goal from near the square after her brain fade ruck jump all over her opponent) but fantastic game around the ground and goal as well. 4. Rest plenty of even choices but some forwards need to move around more and provide targets 5. Wonder if Gillard is in best 20 would it give us another tall to have some flexility down back or even up forward or are our mediums diverse enough to present problems to the Crows who like the Lions have more put footy skills but we excel in providing extra pressure to wear down our opponents 6. No need for a nervous start like last years Prelim use it as an advantage we had more shots and overwhelmed up forward so kicked badly. We need to make the most of our forward moves. Daisy Kate and Tayla say Hi!

The key word was ANOTHER but it can be read either way!

Christian Salem is starting to threaten the above 2 players as an elite defender on half back. Leave a key position player out of comparison as a half backs comparison snd Lovey was a gem. How are we going to judge Rick ( Jake Lever) as KP half back or interceptor ? As he will be in the mix like Salo in 2/3 years time especially if we win another flag or two.

Chandler 97 dream points 22 possessions?

Half forwards in our Seniors need to be better on the ground crumbing from the talls rather than in the air. Ten possessions from Spargs is 2:/3 goals to us either to him or more importantly as score involvements. Can't see Chandler or Bedford ( although I liked his effort in Round1) as better at this stage after nearly 30 games in a row from Charlie. Too Many D/Lers regard only one or two good games in VFL as enough to change players eho have proven recorded over a season or more. Pressure acts are the other requirement and both Kade and Beddy are not bad. But Charlie is elite and Kossie best in AFL for pressure. I don't think the conversation should come up until both hit the scoreboard and pressure tests consistently. Maybe a med sub at first also.

Boy Sams got a busy game coming up! He is there to kick goals and provide very limited ruck role which I think suits home getting him warmed ip and involved. Hats off to Sammy last night he was great and that's the Sam we hoped for !

Yes agreed to a point but I thought our team mantra went a bit too far last night with overuse of a fourth and fifth handball!! Very half full Binman and yes there were some great pluses Weide good Gus another great game 3/4 on trot now inc. GF Harmes on the scorebieard Vineys all round game and speed Bowey continuing stellar firm and Maxy marking again.

I would rather Trac's 40 disposals than 20!! He does so much damage. Thought enough of their on ballers got enough of the ball around the centre bounces!! The major question was what was Trac hiding under his knee bandage? That's why he wasn't the usual match winner. But what a goal. Was in front if me when he let his kick go and never looked like missing True class. Great to see Wiede play his second best but most important game. We probs Lt wouldn't have won without his four goals although we butchered about 8/10 set shots early. Harmsey good and great our wingers Ed and Gus. This Wingers Club is gaining points week after week now!

May ? ???? More like Weidemann One scores four (4) goals guest yome in his career and other has (4) Gour goals against for the first time in ages. Glad your not on the selection panel Chook.

If Injury cover then form cover is just as important. 2/3 goals is fine if Mitch comes in.

Tmac should have been switched onto Wright last night and Maysie spending a stint up forward for awhile. I believe we need Tmac in defence sometimes as very big players can monster May ( Admittedly this us the first time in about 35 games Maysie has lowered his colours. Not a bad effort.

Yes it's a real debate Casey our home ground advantage but I can't help thinking about the great footy ( against admittedly an under strength Freo) on the big stage at Optus. Let's be positive and this gritty and resourceful team can win no matter what. Belief is high and confidence also. Go Dees your inspiration are our mighty 2021 male heroes.

Well Fox does On Thurs Fri and Sat night and 3.20 Sunday ( AEDT ) take the great commentaries from BT and Co.

That's very strange OD. Both 2020 and 2021 have been completed and signed off as "done and dustied" by the Tigers. And you are well aware that despite the revelry and celebration of our Demon masses the games finished in 2021 on that last Saturday in September!! So your assertion that " a game will even happen " is totally incorrect. What is more accurate is "when it will happen" as we all understand what Covid ( sorry to mention) has affected even the AFL. BTW have you actually got to the G yet? Threatened for late July etc. last year but no games had spectators. Did you get to the Grand Final replay in Round1 ? Or even to the Dec 5 celebrations?

Probably Need more phone clarification from Club but also Melb FC have a separate temporary style building just off the walkway between Gates 3 and 4.for this very reason. If need be it seems best to go early if you can to sort out. Obviously your phone is prime evidence unless you have been able to print out the Guest Pass. Good luck .

Fox Footy start their coverage at 6.30 pm after AFL Tonight. That's their ploy to get viewers early and not go back to Ch 7 after news or whatever !! At 7 pm. If you look at the game day or MFC team listing the game time start is always given correctly. Don't be fooled the AFL also jump about with starting times just to keep us on our toes !!

Most D/landers do not always take into account conditions or "players playing their role " when calling for change. It was a game played in slippery conditions with a ground that had a lot of water that week. No forward ( or defender other than our great Stephan May ) looked like getting votes off the mids and rucks. That surely indicates mostly small cameos or the also anomaly of the smallest ( and smartest and whatever other accolades you are able to throw around) player in Bowser got votes either. In a way it was a pretty good slog between two sides having a go and providing some high class mid field dominance and when we turned for home at orange time our "rider" declared that the whip was not to be used to extend our percentage. A Very good in racing terms "jump out" for our boys with the conditions especially against taller key position players who depend upon marking first their game. How many times did Maxy or Tmac get hands on the ball only for it to drop to the ground? Stats are every thing to some D/Lers and no matter what are always king. But Goody and Co are too smart for that trick and don't pull the lever for team and role players if they feel that circumstances considered justify no changes. There is an opposition and again has any player been totally out if his class in two Rounds yet? Hunts game vs Dogs on Weightmann was good so one poorer game does not mean changes to an already unsettled ( but playing near to its best considering availability) defence with a 70 pts average in 2 games following just 60 plus ( best since our '56 backline) or similar in 2021. Now that Casey are up and running we also get some reliable form to compare. Boy I can predict what will be the D/L call if Mitch Brown gets another 7? Tmac will need at least 3 or 4 to hold him off! And Hunty a few dashes with great disposal won't be unnoticed!!

Christian Salo says HI

Because he was contracted I reckon.
