FFS you just know Brown and Cadman will be marking everything next week

I suspect they want the majority of this lineup playing the majority of the games FB: McVee May Lever HB: Salem Petty Windsor C: ? Oliver Langdon HF: ? JVR ? FF: Pickett Turner Fritsch Mid: Gawn Petracca Viney Int: Bowey Rivers ? ? Sub: ? Could change Tmac and Petty based on last years form but probably hoping Petty gets back to 2021 over Tmac who is on his last legs. But Petty could be swingman. So that leaves three groups for the last 6 spots Experienced, you know what you're gonna get: Melksham Chandler TMac Sparrow Campbell Promising high draft picks: Langford Lindsey Tholstrup Jefferson Want to see improvement over preseason: Sharp Fullerton Johnson Laurie McAdam Howes Hore AMW Kynan Brown Woewodin Billings So my opinion is I don't know. This is a useless post I wrote at work to count down the clock till work Christmas lunch. One selection I'm much more certain of though, drop McSweeny for Konstas. Very harsh on McSweeney because Bumrah is an elite bowler, but that's the selectors' fault for picking McSweeny to open the batting in the first place. Happy holidays all!

Great to have melk back in for his kicking, but I've been really impressed with a few of chandlers passes today

I'm guessing more than anything but I reckon Melksham is in for his leadership and defensive forward role more than anything else. He was pretty ordinary since 2019 till the end of last year, and I reckon he kept getting games because of his experience and footy smarts. Might also free up Fritsch a bit. When our forward line is in a shambles it makes sense for him to come in for a bit of direction than a younger player who hasn't played a game with any of them. Fullerton had a [censored] preseason and only recently looks like he's getting back into at Casey level. Will have to reassess next year.

Kozzy went down to the rooms early in that quarter. He was limping a fair bit behind the play

Half watching, half working atm. Jefferson looks like he's finding a place. Some nice repeat efforts there to give off the goal assist.

Reckon we'll probably lose tonight and again next week off the five day break. Only reason I'm posting this is because I have a habit of always being wrong in my tips.

Needs to shave his head. Can't have confidence with a hairline like that. Only half joking... For what its worth I've always been a big Petty fan, he'll come good soon enough.

They have the players playlist up on the big screen and apparently Jake Lever selected Strawberry Kisses by Nikki Webster. Maybe we do have a culture problem after all...

Said pregame I didn't care how it looked, just wanted the 4 points and no injuries. Really annoyed at Kozzie tbh. His lack of discipline really hurt us in the sf against Carlton last year and he still does dumb stuff like that. Still very pleased overall though

Don't care if it's one of those "we won't beat the top teams if we play like that" kind of games. Just want to bank the four points with no injuries

So Brown played really well but seems to still only have a half of good footy in him. No idea how he will pull up for next week. Judging by the public comments, Goodwin seems to think that Petty will find more form playing in the AFL than the twos. But from the people who went to the Casey game it seems like he's not going to be kicking bags for a few weeks. How did Fullerton look yesterday? Second tall forward/ruck still seems the week link but I reckon Brown deserves some congrats for his game today.

John Ralph just said Oliver was likely to play against Sydney. Said he just needs to get through training tomorrow or something like that

The commentators have mentioned it a few times but the one positive from today seems to be Viney's inside 50s
