How did that Hawthorn player have a phone on the ground. Against the rules!

No room for Tom McDonald?

I hope it is only to warm it up.

Please, please! No Brown, no Billings.

Amusing (to me) incident in our foward pocket in the last quarter. Both Pickett and McAdam flew very early for the same mark. The ball arrived a combined 30 seconds later.

Yes

I hope Andy Brayshaw gets in on the act on behalf his brother

3 players should never represent the Dees again. Jack Billings, Ben Brown and Narrm.

Billings was never replaced, it was Bowey.

I think that Disco Turner will be required to play the role that Joel Smith played last year. Forward until the game situation is so that he is required as a defender. Disco also needs a break with injuries.

Surely MFC admin will manage flights and accommodation for the family?

Chandler also in rehab group then with physio.

Maybe, In Harms Way, although PA are quick around the ball . Still think that Billings is an uptick on Hunter.

I love that Billings delivers a good ball but I believe the pace of the PA game was too quick for him. Must have the ball to kick it.

Exactly. Rozee had the ball in the square and Rivers wasn't to to know it was a Dee free kick. Umpire could have called "advantage". Happens through every part of the ground without penalty if a player has possession. No reversal paid.

Maybe start Petty forward and if things look chancy swap ends with McDonald and Petty.

Joel Smith may have been handy at this time.

A quote from The Age suggesting that the rule is the same except the number named? The substitute rule will remain the same with four players on the bench plus the sub, however clubs will now name 18 players plus five players on the bench with three emergencies. Advertisement

The sub has to come from the 5 players named as interchange. That is Ben Brown cannot be named as sub. The sub has to come from Windsor, Hore, McDonald, Petty or Oliver. I think Petty.

Hunter still doing laps. Tomlinson and Langdon walking laps. Looks a hive of activity around the ground. First time at Casey and it looks a treat.

Silly question really @58er I no more know what JVR is thinking than I do about what your thinking. I have, as is my want, made an observation about his actions both what they have been and what I consider they need to be.

I don't believe we are heading for a fall either but our forward line is also now without Joel Smith who kicked a few late season and finals goals. I thought Joel was quite handy and will be missed.Hopefully JVR has learned to let the opposition worry about him rather than the other way around. You cannot contribute by sitting on my side of the fence.

I would use Brayshaw on the wing. He deserves a game.

I guess you could throw Joel Smith in as well.
