Wagner is a first year rookie. The club has shown in the past that, no matter how you perform, they keep you as a rookie for the full two years. This will move his upgrade into next year. Michie is also a first year rookie who would normally be retained but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was delisted. White has run out of rookie options and a hard decision will have to be made. I will leave that up to the club. King has shown glimpses but nothing to indicate that he will be retained. Smith is in his own category; he will be retained.

Hip flexor, back next week.

OMac will not get dropped. Those here that say that Frost is a better defensive option are seriously deluded. I f we are going to drop a key defender, it will be Frost. For me, I would keep that same team if possible.

Yeah, Kielty played back against Box Hill, and did a good job. I would expect the same things again.

When is the game on? I might drop along, as I often do.

Trenners and Trac would have spent countless hours together in the Rehab group last year. Trac would be absolutely stoked to see him back in the side.

Picket, I watch football; it is plain that you don't.

I don't know why everybody wants Frost in in place of OMac. I have been to quite a few Casey games and I can tell you that OMac is a much better defensive option than Frost any day.

No way. Despite what others have said in other threads, OMac is a much better defensive option. Dunn was the emergency last week and also would come in before Frost.

We will upgrade Max King and leave Wagner on the rookie list even if he plays every game from now on. He would then enter next season as a rookie and be upgraded and available to play then. This enables us to keep both players and is in line with how the club has operated in the past.

I said to a friend the other day that the best thing about Melbourne FC these days is that, apart from our president, I cannot name another director. This is a far cry from a few years ago, when I could name quite a few.

He was ok, not any great shakes. As it was his first game back from a long lay-off, I would forget his performance. He will run into some form over the next couple of weeks.

There was hardly any wind, a strange occurrence at Casey. This piece was obviously written by someone who wasn't there.

Perhaps he need to join the queue instead.
