Deelectable

Back to forward.

I know it won't happen but is it worth trying Tomlinson up forward and as relieving ruck? Turner has gone from black to forward. If my memory serves correctly Tomlinson played some time forward for the Giants. Arguably Casey's best player this year. For mine nothing to lose and he might surprise. Waiting to be shot down!

Hearing from a moderately reliable source that JVR has entered concussion protocols and will miss the Eagles game. Apparently on 9 news?

Agree with all of that.

Do you know what I was thinking exactly the same thing but not brave enough to post! Superb tonight, consistent performer and very good user. Surprised to see he is only 28. We could do a lot worse.

I'll respectfully agree to disagree. Just got a really hard ball get at a crucial time. Won't be surprised at all if he's on the plane next week.

Really? Just about Casey's best for me.

Hunter very good. Does BBB come in for Turner? Should have kicked 6+!!

Jed Adams a long way off it.

Tholstrup worth another try against the Eagles. Home state, family in attendance, probable good conditions and potentially a weaker opponent. His debut was a baptism of fire against the Lions. Chandler needs a rest.

His gut running is immense!

Tholstrup staking a claim.

Superb goal by Tholstrup in greasy conditions.

Bailey Laurie 🙄

Tough loss to take but I honestly believe there are more positives to take away. Would like to think it could be a turning point in our season. Would have been easy to 'turn up the toes' and cop a hiding.Despite the despicable 5 day break we were full of running and endeavour. Obviously Petracca was outstanding but most others will improve even if it's marginally. I reckon we will win a minimum 5 of the next seven games and go from there. Our draw is reasonably favourable. Stay healthy and I'm confident. Finally, perhaps a bonus of being mid top 8 for awhile could be that we'll fly under the radar for a bit. Good spot to be.

Salem should ready after another 10 days to recover.

Forgot about McAdam. Presuming he plays tomorrow night and plays reasonably well in the VFL he HAS to come in and play in Perth. Our forward line is screaming out for an 'X factor' and this bloke could well be the answer! I'll be watching with interest.

I've been a supporter of Turner and he has a bright future. Fullarton had a very good game against Port Melbourne a few weeks ago and has been moderate since. If he plays well tomorrow night I would promote him for Disco who needs to regain some confidence at Casey. If Fullarton plays it would mean JVR could stay at home and hopefully build confidence against the Eagles. Chandler clearly playing injured. Give him a rest. I'm also in the AMW camp. He looks classy. If Tholstrup has a cracker tomorrow he might be considered.

There are always isolated examples. I can guarantee that over a long period with teams that swing the changes more often than not lose. Also, making multiple changes early in the season is a different beast to mid season. All teams crave continuity. Having said all that who knows? Hoping for the best!

Underdone legs not to mention team imbalance.

4 changes = loss.

Prior to the Geelong game I was confident. All the love was for the Cats and they were due for a loss. This week we've had all positive media so will need to live up to the hype. 5 day break is a concern although Carlton are coming into their third tough game in a row in 13 days. That is definitely a mitigating factor. Blues are possibly getting a few back also. Reckon we're the better team but we'll need to be at our best. A win would be massive for our season but the Baggers will be desperate to stay in the race and the eight. Team selection could be telling.

Pretty sure 'Loys' were the home delivered crates of soft drink. Loved it! A dozen per week and you got to select the flavours.

Thanks for that. Good news in part although it seems totally incongruous and unfair that we'll still be one short on the list with no avenue to find a replacement.

Pardon my ignorance but because of the absence of Brayshaw and Smith are we eligible for two picks in the MSD? I really hope so. Depth is a worry and developing players desperately need a more competitive Casey.
