  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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!
  4. Underdone legs not to mention team imbalance.
  5. 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.
  6. Pretty sure 'Loys' were the home delivered crates of soft drink. Loved it! A dozen per week and you got to select the flavours.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Hunter more versatile than Billings.
  10. AMW must come under consideration soon. Improving all the time. Silky smooth.
  11. Unless injured I reckon he'll play against Carlton. Replacement for Billings.
  12. Some tough calls to make. 5 day break against a contender is a killer. Feel like we have to go for some fresh legs. Bowey(if fit) I would put straight in. Hunter, Mcadam and maybe Tholstrup could come under consideration. Billings will go. Can Laurie play at Casey tomorrow? Big call but does Windsor need a rest? Certainly think Chandler does with that knee. One thing I'd definitely be doing tomorrow would be to take off the aforementioned players at halftime or soon after. Keep all options open and see how players pull up on Monday. Unfortunately Seagulls will runaway with it but so be it.
  13. Waiting for Rohan to kick the winner.😏
  14. It will really test my loyalty to this game and following AFL should Kalani end up at the Suns. On one hand the AFL, media and football world spruik the romanticism of the notion of a son following in his father's footsteps at his beloved club. On the other, a contrived academy rule can gazump this notion to rob a club the opportunity of recruiting a 'favourite son'. Read Nick Blakey. Make up your mind! It's an absolute farce. To lose a 10+ year potential KP is unpalatable. If the AFL really want F/S to remain it should always take precedence over gluttonous northern academies.
  15. Geelong 10 flags in 125 years. Massive underachiers having had a massive home ground advantage throughout that period. We had a near 60 year hiatus from winning a premiership and they still can't catch us!
  16. You make good points. Just think Geelong are playing to their absolute capacity. At the moment we've got half a dozen consistent contributors and that's it! Still 5/2. Viney, Petracca and Clarry can all improve. There's only one way for JVR and Petty. Fritsch to a lesser extent. I think we're ready for a big challenge. We were rusty off the bye against Richmond. Second half was good. Just get a sense we're ready to launch!
  17. Geelong gave up 105 points against a depleted and also inaccurate Carlton. We won't allow that. Geelong's conversion rate was off the charts. Unlikely to happen next week. Add to the fact they're due for a loss we will win.
  18. We will beat Geelong. Our midfield is overdue to fire and too strong for the Cats. If any team can cover Hawkins and Cameron we can. This scoreline has massively flattered them thus far. Return for much lower entries is remarkable against an undermanned Carlton defence. I'm confident.
  19. Meant to say they won't risk McAdam etc. May well target it him for the Eagles game. Carlton might be too soon.
  20. Zero chance Tomlinson comes in. Be very surprised if they risk even though his cameo performance was outstanding yesterday. Could be the difference maker in the forward line eventually. Bailey for Woewodin is possible. The only other change could be if they feel need to give Windsor a rest. If that is the case it's Hunter for me.
  21. This! People are forgetting that Petty had an extremely interrupted pre season. I'm surprised he's even on the park. Yes, his form hasn't been great but watching the replay he had a 'nearly' game. Maybe his foot is shot. Dunno. But if fit we must persevere. Went to watch Casey yesterday. Fullarton definitely shows promise but very lightweight. I wouldn't fancy going in with him and youngsters Turner and JVR against an experienced Geelong defence. Throw in the fact that for the most part delivery into the forward line last night was atrocious,Petty stays for me.
  22. Can somebody please tell me to never make a statement like this again!!
  23. At the huge risk of getting ahead of myself and not wanting to jinx the team🤞to go on and have a big win would be excellent. As I'm sure all are aware the lower the opposition score the better the percentage. The % difference come the end of the season could be critical. Having said that I'll take any win atm!!
