Dreadful first half but I can understand why Casey played the way they did....... lack of matches due to lock downs. B.Brown was o.k without setting the world on fire but he needs to play seniors . Jones was good. Vanders played well in patches. I would like to see Daw and J.Smith play forward with the Weid playing wing/ruck.

Someone stated we can't select BB because he has not had a great deal of game time . Yet we select Viney after 8 weeks (approx.) what is the real difference ?

If Daw kicks 12 goals in the reserves he shouldn't get a game in the seniors unless Gawn is injured. You need forwards kicking goals and defenders saving goals, the latter we have.

Not selecting a Daw based on having forward/ruck covered is a strange way of thinking. Why would you bother to try you hardest in the reserves if are playing 2nd fiddle. I think Daw could become a Posidadly ( probably mis spelt ) who kicked many goals for the cats in their last premiership era.

The Weid should play defence in the reserves for a while ( with constant covid lock downs, may never play again ). He could become another T.Mac. Change of surname not an option.

It appears that Casey has a bye round 17. Does anyone know if the VFL are going to implement catch up matches?

How does the braintrust running the VFL factor in catch up games. Example Southport have played 8 matches whilst Casey have played only 5 matches. Why did we (MFC) need a bye ? does not make sense.

The idea of playing Weid back without experience is not the way to go. When he returned to footy this season he should have played in the back line(for Casey). We have the Browns , J.Smith and Daw who all can play forward.

I think there are team i.e interstate ones that would have played 2-3 games more thanCasey . No need for Casey to have a bye , the dopey Afl/Vfl clowns need to fix this problem. Covid is always going be turned on when it suits them.

The Weid should have been dropped 2 weeks ago . M.Brown would have been a better option , he could of played back with Petty going forward . B.Brown needs game time in the 2nds , I would give him ruck time to boost his confidence and fitness.

At this stage of the year perhaps we should try B.Brown and M.Brown/Daw. The Weid lacks confidence for some reason perhaps it is due the arrival of B.Brown. We cannot afford to play him any more.

Baker preferably on the wing otherwise JJ . If we play in the night , I wouldn't consider B.Brown , Daw maybe . Weid to be given another chance.

We should pick up Brodie Kemp from Carlton, he is 20 yr old. This kid will be another Cripps.

Either Brown or the Weed need to be turned into a defender via the reserves . Having these two up front reduces their optimum output and impact the way we play. M.Brown so far is a better option as he can play both ends of the ground. Daw can play in different positions also. Not convinced Brayshaw is a winger , Melksham has reached his use by date. The Dees will win by 50 pts.

in salem,the lesser known brown and daw( only if plays well against swans rerves),viney if fit. Out weid ,jetta and melksham. We have to get excited when Weid and B.Brown kick lots of goals against p.ss weak sides.

No changes most likely . Daw is probably a better bet than weid and brown as he is more versatile.

2019 draft where by we picked up Kossie and Johnson was a great get. Picking up B.Brown and the resurgence of T.Mac and the pick up of Langdon were get plusses. Trac and Oliver along with Jordan has improved our midfield. May and Lever in defence are also great gets. Given all these players we should end up in the top four.

Is 1-2 weeks for Jackson proportional to 1-2 weeks for Viney or is a different scale being used ?

Our current problem is that we lack a quality Wingman (Gus and Baker NQR ) . Baker looked the goods late last year. Gus is a inside mid perhaps he could fill Melksham role as we do not not get enough from. Why do we suggest and play J.Smith in defence ,he is not up to it and perhaps he gets injured so much. Don't know why we gave Viney such a long contract. If the Weid is not getting a game forward perhaps he should be trained to play defence. Neitz was capable of playing both ends of the ground.

We need more fire power , I would bring in the Weid or Daw ( a bit left field ) , Viney ( if avaiable) . T.Mac has been trained to play the wing. Drop Melks and Gus. Possible include Jetta for Hibberd. The weid and Daw can do some of the ruck work.

We have a postponed match due to the virus may be considered fair. What I really hate is that VFL teams have at least 2 byes in their season which means no game time for Casey players this weekend and no game time for Casey players on the 22nd May. We have an even amount of teams in the comp , so why do we need byes?

He will get selected this week and won't look back. If we will a premiership he will stay. May crystal ball tells me expect the Dees to do the fifties all over again. i.e 5 premierships.

In Petty, Weideman ,Chandler. Out Jones (RDO) , Melksham (med sub) , Tomlinson. Almost same as Supreme_Demon with out the Jones boy.

What would be ironic if Weed leaves year's end , he goes to Norf and we get a number one draft pick who happens to be an injury free Rowell or another Petracca. On top of it the Weed ends up like Tyson. ( TYson who you may say ).

We wouldn't be able to fit him into our side.
