Yeah Trav might be in trouble, not sure if he's contracted but Vossy won't pay him. In fairness to Trav he is in there best 22 and always seems to play well. Not sure why he doesn't get more games! PLaying some spuds ahead of him. Voss deserves the flick!

Healey will be delisted and may not even get a game for Casey.

Tapscott did look to have a sore shoulder, came off for a bit. Looks like a tough bugger.

The forward line of Hughes Miller and Maric will go a long way to helping the scorps go deep. They were great on the weekend.

Yeah Healey must have qualified. May have left out Healey and Tapscot becuase they played a lot of games in the twos which means they will still qualify but may not get a game. Bail not sure about he may have not played enough games.

Geez Watts gets far to many easy votes!

out moloney and jones

both overrated and go missin too often for senior players

im over them and wouldnt get games in top sides

warnock is a worry

First game back and moloney had 27 touches.

Watts and Bennel should go first, tired of these guys getting an easy run at it. Bate and Hughes were both in the best for casey, although Hughes is just back from a long lay off. So maybe Miller. I was at Casey and Tapscott is still not quite ready. Maric is put of by physical contact and shirks it to much.

Bennel is woeful at the moment and Watts is providing little.

Strauss was dropped because of form.. Not sure why people always try to come up with other reasons why guys are dropped.

And people were saying Fitzpatrick to play for Melbourne lol

Um fail...they are in A grade amateurs. Hardly 'soft' footy. do I detect a hint of jealousy or did one of their players beat you up or something?

They will be B grade next year! When we play them and have beaten them the last 4 or 5 times we always know they don't like hard tough footy, maybe thats why we are in the top 2!

I think most will depend on each other, in this I mean if we keep Paul Johnson then Spencer should not be elevated. I think he shouldn't as he is no good and never will be!

If we delist Miller and say Bate goes and even Martin then we should look at Promoting Hughes. He was good when he got a go!

As our Ruck and forward stocks are the issue it would seem Bell and Mcnamara could be in real trouble.

With the gold Coast coming in this year it gives a lot of fringe and young players a good opportunity to go somewhere to prove themselves like Mcnamara and Hughes.

Well no. Of course not. That's the point. He was number one for a reason.

Regardless, his progress has been steady. He would have impressed more yesterday if he had been a little more selfish but his tendency to look to give off the ball in the first quarter cost him (and us) an early goal.

But he has already shown he knows:

#how to find the ball in a contest and give off with quick, accurate hands;

#how to take a contested mark;

#how to run ahead of the play to take an uncontested mark in the forward 5o;

#how to kick steadying goals when they count.

That's enough in 15 or so games, I reckon.

(As for Maric, I've yet to see anything.)

Kicks steadying goals when they count????? When has this happened?

He missed an easy shot against Freo to put us in front. Put one out on the full on the 3qtr time siren in the same game. Missed a shot on the run against essendon at a crucial stage, only to be given a second chance when he took a soft dive!

If Watts wasn't a number one pick he would have played most games at Casey like Maric. But there is a reason he went number 1.... He has a hell of a lot of talent!

He was placed on the rookie list at the end of last year so I think he has known his fate for a while. Another who has been unlucky and struck down with injury. I was impressed by his early form last year!

INteresting that two of our 'private school' recruits lack intensity - Strauss and Watts. Its a pet theory of mine.... Particularly when compared to a Dustin Martin type who plays as if his life depends on it (It probably does)

I agree where Watts is concerned being a Brighton Grammar boy. The school is known for it's softness. Playing them in Amo's it's well known they are soft. But I think he should be judged after 3 or 4 preseasons with more bulk. It is taking time for him to adjust which is why i think he should be playing at Casey. He has the right tools to become a good player, he just needs to cope with pressure better which comes with experience.

Not sure about strauss. Has had injuries but may miss out on a spot in Casey's finals team (if its still the 12-10 rule! but again another preseason and we will know more!

He has done it after every loss this year. THey still think they are the best club going around. Too many arrogant wankers that need to be brought down! Hope we smash them!

Bennel for anyone!

Watts - Looks like Jane, plays like Jane

Getting very sick of him not going hard for the ball when it is his turn.

X2 very much a school boy!

Very generous on Bennel to!

Dunn was sensational. Green and Jamar continue there good form! Was worried about Jurrah there for a bit but he came good!

The thing about the two goal umpires is that the goal umpire in the pies v cats game was in the perfect position same with the boundary umpire. I am still confused on how he thought it wasn't a goal. Quartermain is right he should never goal umpire again!

On our ones against the bulldogs that was overturned because the dogs player where carrying on, last night the pies just played on and got away with it!

Will be demoted to rookie list then delisted following year. Experiment gone wrong. Shame he is a great friendly bloke!

Not true. Watts has had one of his best games tonight, but Bennell's had a bad one.

You Serious?

Our forwards

Kicks only

Dunn 7 - 2 goals

Watts 6

Bennell 4

Aussie 3 - 1 goal

Green 10 - 2 goals

Jurrah 2

Apart from green we need more especially from the smalls in the wet

We are better when watts and bennel dont have the ball!

Wona, Jurrah, Dunn and Bennel have gone massively missing!

Watts could stuff up wheaties!!!

If in Bayside the Brighton Hotel. Sean Wellman is a part owner and some players usually watch the game there. Seen a few guys there in the past.

Yeah was a melee. Started with rioli and a port player behind play. Then turned into about 20 players. Rioli continued to wrestle and prob through another two clear punches. Should be sidelined for the remainder of the home and away season. Not really sure what set him off because he was going mental. Few other players will be looked at from both sides which is good for us.

Well at least Rioli won't be playing against us!

A player being frustrated at being left out. Who would have thought? If this was the case 60 players would be asked to be traded every year!

Not this again?! FCS.

If Brad Miller can tackle Matty Whelan at OO against Carlton, we can have a clash strip. It looks fine.

And the MFC at one point was called 'the Invincible Whites' early in our storied history, WYL. So stop being so excitable.

Move on, nuff-nuffs.

I know that hurt but it's a nuff-nuff/Hun/fork-and-spoon issue and we are above that.

Well said. Can't believe i read these people talk about this issue for so long. I must be bored!
