Casey radio not working here either. Please post scores, thanks!

Umpires should not be miked. There is no good reason.

This unfortunately seems to be the overwhelming sentiment on here. Im not sure that was what Kanga Kennedy was trying to instill at hawthorn.

Makes me reconsider my 6 possesion games. I guess Weid will print that line out and hang it over the mantle.

No I havent seen him live at Casey except on the internet.. I do hope he proves me wrong. I am against us trying to find form by playing in the seniors. Other teams dont do it nearly as much as we do. Look at who we are playing into form at the moment: Weid, Tom Mac, Hannan, Viney, your boy Harry and next week Lever. Looks to me Tracc has been played into form so a tick there. Other than Tom and Jack, Id let the other 4 prove it. And although Im a huge fan, Tom Mac isnt back. We saw a glimpse which if you like proves it works. But for 25% of the team? No from me.

I think Hannan gets a more than fair go from DL'ers. He hasnt done anything this year except show me his quickstep which is no good if you dont get the ball or cant outrun an opponent without falling to ground. And Id like to see some upside from Petty, but I cant see it. I keep hearing it is there though. Having said that, other than a good kick, Wiedermann gets a pass on here from little. Im a fan of Tim Smith. His efforts yesterday were very good. He seems to have got rid of his kicking yips.

any coverage?

6. Viney 5. Frost 4. Oliver 3. Max 2. Brayshaw 1. Lockhart

Everybody seems to have a slightly different take. My understanding was that Nicky Winmar was showing a typical Vic Park crowd that intestinal fortitude got the saints the win that day. But after the media published Wayne Lubdy's photo, showing skin, Nicky wisely decided never let the truth get in the way. I could be wrong but I think Im right.

You lost me with the royal We Fork'em. Who are you speaking on behalf of?

Id really like to know what is holding back some of our players. I had assumed Petracca and say Spargo have not had injuries which may or may not be true. I dont think Traccs knee has held him up much this year. Harmes has come good after his badly broken and dislocated finger in round one. I think Tracc and Spargo could be leaner and fitter. I think Tmac and Jack Viney are playing injured but to what degree i have no idea. Id say they are willing themselves onto the park. If thats so, how come they seem to attend and complete training? Is Hannan playing still injured? Is Oscar incapacitated or just not much good? If anyone can point me to information on the above Id be grateful.

I think TMac is injured but having a laugh at the end was a bad look. Disappointed.

Isnt that Preuss 2nd from the right on the top row?

If you cant kick accurately and you cant mark... might as well handball and run.

You would think Nick Reiwoldt or Wayne Carey would be available(payable) to come down and talk forward craft to forwards and mids.

TMac is too slow ATM to play back, he would be worse off. I agree with may forward. Thats where he starred as a junior.

It would be typical Melbourne if, in an attempt to gift Jonesy 300 games, we lost Brayshaw who doesnt like the wing and is better inside.

Im just waiting to hear how much the Weid is on in his new contract. We will then probably hear that Charlie S has signed a 3 year deal.

Should Play centre at Casey for the rest of the year, apparently thats his best spot. Bring on Lockhart.

We should argue who is our worst. Spargo, daylight, Hannan and Hunt.

Why if he is so good, he cant play in the centre? .I prefer Brayshaw, Harmes and Clarry so far. They have the tank to play in the middle. Not fit enough, me thinks. look forward to your votes.

I miss Melksham.

Ive put $5 on a draw.

Any one know if final sides have been announced?

I still hope Petracca plays well. We just dont give the ANB JKH types who try hard and follow instruction (generally) the latitude that "talented" players who screw up get.
