With Smith and Petty both playing forward it also gives us a choice if one should need to go and play in the back half. They are both desperately needed marking options forward as well.

No Oliver?

"Tacklee" is now firmly planted in my Oxford dictionary.

Agreed Sydee, that is on BBB'S form. BBB is a very ordinary pack mark, always has been. Watching his VFL skills he begins a lead but is soon overtaken by his opponent who then marks and runs on. Should BBB be then able to spoil his ground skills are negligible. Hard to see BBB now ever improving where necessary

Winners and losers. WINNERS Football, MFC, Jacob van Rooyen LOSERS Adrian Anderson, Will Powell.

Soon be Saturday.

At that time of the game and with the result up for grabs van Rooyen had to make a contest. If he is suspended for that then he rightly or wrongly has done the team thing. Twice, if he is suspended.

Well, that should take racism off the back page...or was that the plan?

What and when was the Pickett incident?

It is Demon case...straight to the tribunal.

Before tonight it is long time since Fritsch has been held to zero goals in a match.

Agreed but Chookrat suggested that he flew up as sub. I merely clarified that he was at the venue regardless.

MFC and Casey are playing at the same venue on the same day.

Turner a late out for Casey, May a late out for Melbourne?

The bounce handpass is good for a player to dispose of the ball however for the receiver it slows the ball up after bouncing. This adds pressure to the receiver to then take and dispose of the ball. Also, quite often, the ball is fumbled as the bounce is inconsistent.

Luci, I agree with you. In fact I could not agree more. We cannot afford not to play Petty forward. Although he marks very few he is competitive and rarely outmarked. Conversely BBB is led to the ball and outmarked more often than not even at VFL level. This, of course, is a great rebound for any opposition. Up forward, Petty also has a spark of aggression and I reckon our small forwards walk taller because of that.

Between the lines I am asking as to who will captain the Dees on Monday. "Tossing the coin" is just an old saying saying meaning who is captain today.

Should Max not play and Viney is a late withdrawal, who tosses the coin?

I agree, our fumbling, especially out of the centre, is a concern and a block to our gameplan. As you have also mentioned our kicking to target players last week was atrocious.

That would be news to Carlton and the AFL.

Petty forward anf Tmac back..try something

I am sure Tom McDonald could spell your name correctly.

My highlight was in the first quarter when Oliver ran down Smith over about 60 metres from the centre to the HBF eventually worrying Smith out of the possession.

Hand and foot injury?

Has Casey a practice match against Footscray today? The 3 players mentioned may be playing this afternoon with Melksham as the sub tomorrow night?
