Yep - one shocking umpiring decision can turn a game around and if one game’s turned around, it can change a whole season.

All over for Hawthorn and $cully.

That game v Essendon from Round 3 is now officially a bye.

Demonland is now the club’s unofficial selection panel.

Can we now take it that our Round 3 game v Essendon has been cancelled and both clubs officially had byes in that round?

The strong sides often take the opportunity to blood new players in games against lowly sides and so, with due respect to Adelaide, that might be the game for James Jordon to debut.

Too right. If Tomlinson kicks straight, we're 3-2 and they're 3-4. I know if your auntie had hairy armpits but ...

You’ll have to make binman a regular guest!

Daniher hasn't played for two years. I can see another Harley Bennell scenario where he plays once every four weeks because he needs to be rested. Enough.

As often happens when a new coach takes over a dispirited team in mid-season, Teague had a good start to his career. He gave them freedom, their confidence lifted and after a win at home against an over-confident and cocky Brisbane, they had a run of games against other teams in the lower region of the ladder. They won a few games and Teague was appointed permanent coach. He’s going to have a tougher job now with the clubs having more time to scrutinise the players and the game plan.

They are mostly Casey players with a sprinking of Demons - mainly younger brigade like Rivers, Bradtke, Jordon, Bedford, Hore, Baker plus Jayden Hunt and Josh Wagner.

Just wondering whether with these injuries (including Nietschke's season ending acl) it might make it more likely that a Pre-season Supplemental Selection would be utilised?

Would we take both Jackson and Kemp - two players who will take a few years to develop?

Yes. Go for Kemp if he’s available.

The plot thickens. The Suns get to pick a player from Darwin and the Dees get peanut shells. Suns' likely Darwin pick set to bring pace, pressure and tricks

Freddie Clutterbuck for one season only.

No biggie about APS beating AGSV. It happens every year. The APS have won the last nine of these games in a row.

No full stop really. We have one place on our senior list vacant at the present time and therefore have the capacity to select one more player under the PSSP system between 1 December and 15 March next year. The beat goes on.

What if the free kick is given inside 50 and the result is a goal?

So Kolodjashnij got through his first session with no adverse concussion signs?

His father won the b & f at Frankston in the early 90s. I think he might have tried out at Melbourne at some stage but not 100% sure. I have doubts as to whether we would recruit him if he was available at 23. I think we will be going for a more seasoned big man or some more mids.

Is Partington related to the Phil Partington who played with our reserves in the 80s?

Jed Lamb will be rookied by Carlton.
