Also a school of thought is that Martin should make way for PJ so that can leave either Miller or Hughes for Petterd

Yeah true. I think he has a very good argument. I think Watts also fits into this mould as well... With the need to be able to move around the ground a lot the monster will find it more difficult. But there will always be a need for a brown or hall i think

I didn't say he didn't have a good game i said a bit over rated. Newton didn't because he is no good. Hughes took ten marks as a lead up forward which i think he had a better game.

Millers game was highly over rated on saturday. He stop NATHAN Ablett, who has barely played footy. Has little interest in the game. Then he went forward and played on a 17yo. THere 3rd key defender.

Lost me when he said Bate was deceptively quick! Has he seen him try to turn?

np point putting hughes as an emergency as he is a rookie so if they promote him they play him. Has been the best forward for casey so far. Great as a lead up forward more than a stay at home goal kicker sa petterd was. So maybe play bate closer to goal and hughes up. Watts is still a long way off playing i think, just going at casey. Maric is very patchy and not a marking target but i think will replace bennel soon enough. Aussie isnt fit enough yet. Miller and Newton have been tried and failed..

Shattered i can't make it this week. IM in singapore but found a aussie pub that might show it. Anyone know if i can watch it on the net??

Brennan also got pinged for holding the ball when he was barely tackled. The oof one was terrible! They were guessing all night the boundary umpires!

perfect summary!

I'm not sure whether it was the herald sun but one article i read Davey got Aaron Davies! Typical moron journo's.

Give them Spencer and Meller as they will not be on our list surely!

Even funnier that it was his own club/bar too!!!

Not sure about the incident with GRimes, didn't see it. But the Bennell one has been spoken about. He is just keeping his spot as it is. Batram showed him how to on the back flank yesterday. He doesn't play tight enough to be in the back line. The main issue though is every week he gets off the train and it's horrible to watch. I've seen it at Casey and for Melbourne, opposition sides will have seen it and know if they go hard at him he will be looking around all game.

He has to be dropped. It will teach him when it's his time to go he has to go. Every week he is scared to go for the hard ball. He doesn't do enough in the game anyway to warrant selection. He was moved forward because he can't play on an opponent. I think he will be replaced by Maric.

Dunn was ok, didn't have a huge impact. Kicked a couple of goals but missed one late. Just doesn't influence a game enough but was better.

He should be made to apologise to his team mates. It just isn't good enough in a team sport to do that. Worse that he does it a few times in every game.

I have never seen anyone shirk as many contests as Bennell has. The conest just before 3qtr time was embarrassing and cost us the lead going into the last quarter. HE was played forward because he doesn't man up! It was impressive how we played as a team and how good Grimes is! Petterd was fantastic and is presenting very well. Trengove and scully are getting good game time. Frawley is sensational as with Warnock and MAcdonald. Bail was great, ran hard all day and uses it quite well. Juice wasn't good enough either was Bate who is just a plodder and lucky to be in the side. Also Batram was very good.

Juice and Sylvia are in. Spencer and Miller out is what i have heard!

Watts doesn't deserve a game. Has been struggling at Casey and other guys are playing much better than him.

The fact is Newton is at the point where he will give more than what Dunn, Bate and Miller is providing us with. I'm pretty sure we can promote at least one more rookie with our LTI's.

Well said wrathchild. Roughhead only kicked 3. I know he missed some but at least he was forced wide on a few occasions. One of his goals was from a turnover that wasn't his fault. Warnock had very little help.

Spencer had 1 handball to 3qtr time. He is horrible and surely no one can say he deserves another AFL game.

Spencer was laughable. He was terrible for Casey last week and was just as bad today! Dunn everyone knows he can't play except Bailey same with Miller. Bate is a joke, sooo sllooowwww! Can't make and makes poor decisions. Bennel is just scared and Bruce stop handballing to bloke under pressure because you don't want to get tackled!!

With no forward why did Bailey play SPencer and Dunn over MArtin, Newton and Hughes? Because he has little idea!

We actually re signed Bailey!
