You make a lot of sense but frankly I cannot see T Mac being dropped.

My point is that Goody did play T Mc at CHB on occasions in round one / two through need and even Goody admits that we have a good second string defense right now but it can only get better with the return of the fab four, and I say that based on the fact that we have Lever, Petty, Salem and Hibbo out so that represents over 70% of our "best" defense in rehab OR not in our "best" Team. e.g. the 2021 GF side. So I still see room for improvement when these guys get into form and return. Maybe all four, maybe just three...That will place pressure on our then Casey list and that's a positive for the year ahead so long as injuries are stable as they were in 2021through 2022.... Right now I feel T Mc has the attributes to assist the back seven given we have an inform Weed and BBB. Versatility with the Team grows even more so in the year 2022 as Gus did a few weeks ago on the HBF, now on the wing as against the Gliders....( BOG) Versatility is the name of the game at the Demons in 2021 and through to 2022 and beyond. That is what good sides do. We do it well. But hell what do I know. I am just a passionate supporter like everyone else looking for 2022 glory. We all have our views and we all want the same outcome.

Sorry. I did leave that out and my answer would be = Hunt who needs to get some dare back in his game. I still am a fan of no 29 but consider others ahead of him right now. Dunno who the second player would be but I just have a hunch that Goody will go as is.... and this selector will be ignored...lol

Look, I think you are part on the money except how can you not include BB , I agree , and then retain The Weed ? Frankly if I were a selector (and thank God I am not) I would bring BB back, retain The Weed and move T Mc to CHB to strengthen the second string back seven till Lever, Salen, Hibbo and Petty are available then re start our thinking then. Like, push the problem out till we have to make a really hard decision...lol

Brown should come out of isolation to take on the Power at the Adelaide Oval, but will not have trained with the team all week. Gee !!! I personally would play BB @ FF and The Weed @ CHF and move Mc D to CHB.. But to be honest Goody will be reluctant to change a winning formulae and BB may just fall short of selection. I would bring in Lever @ the expense of Hunt though.

Locked away till the end of 2024 is our Bowser.

I apologise, you did include them.

Look I never said it had not been done before. He would join the elite with the other AFL record holders. fyi: Buckley and Scott won at Brisbane as well in years 1993 and 1994 but he would join an elite group, that is my point.

Just sayin... If Bowser keeps this high standard up all year in 2022 he will be the NAB Rising Star and set another AFL / VFL record for a Club obtaining a NAB Rising Star two years in a row. Watch this space.

The 1 votes - no, no,no, way. Kossy was not in the best 10 players on the day. Maybe he needs a forced "rest" Spargo - average Bowser - yes, played a great game. Very reliable.

And Rutten says :- " But we have played three of last years finalists already" Drrrr And your point ?

DEMONS V port Changes: OUT: Hunt, Tomlinson In: lever, B Brown McDonald to CHB, The Weed to CHF, Lever HBF Med Sub: Dunstan

My advice:- wait till Game day !!!

Yes that is right, he has a case of the Footy being unable to detach itself from his retina. He sees eye to eye with it.. !!!

Let's finish this thread (please)

I reckon The Casey players from last weekend should all play and give our 23 a good "rest" - like they can sleep in, or enjoy some gardening at home...... That way we can expect to win by a reasonable but fair number such as 40 points rather than the commented 60 -80 points as mentioned here which would be so embarrassing for the Gliders. Let's be fair folks...

I heard sometime ago that Jacko's were uprooting their life and moving East so why would he sign with any "West" team ?

Maybe just maybe we are raising this subject a tad early in the Season but the way I see it is that the word "cull" will not be the prime motivation for space on the list at the seasons end rather than retirements in Melks, Hibbo, Daw and maybe a "cull" on Rosman. That's it folks !!!!

and don't forget, another Premiership..... and Coaches Award for the best player as well as the The Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy

Yeah.... He did it.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The game standard was low and I suspect that has something to do with the lack of game time over past two years in VFL footy.. Dunstan looked the standout to me, I don't say he is "knocking the door down" but I can see him play ahead of younger Bedford due only to experience. Dunstan got 11 Brownlow votes last year so he must have something in his tank to warrant that. Howes and Van Rooyen will have to bide their time. p.s. Liked Laurie's game...

Honestly I felt Dunstan was our best and got better as the game went on. I can see him playing senior footy soon. Other noted players I feel were Woey Jnr and Micth Brown of course.

How.... got rid of him to C'Wood.. Don't want him back.. We have a better Half back in Bowser thanks....
