Howe as an effective forward, who would of thought?

No established side should lose a match by 186 points, they can and deserve to write what they want.

Got a sneaky feeling he'll be sub, he'll have limited time to make an impact

PR: Jack, your skills are crucial so you're excused from contests. JW: No problem, I'll work on my running and then falling over.

Interesting comment. Funny how we can pass on some nice feedback about a debutant before quickly deciding they need to be delisted. I remember when everyone loved Nicholsons run on his debut, Terlichs courage and effort on debut, Toumpas' kicking on debut.... now everyone calls them spuds, not up to it, cost the game blah blah blah

After reading the VFL player review and what Roo's said I think it will be Terlich and Nicho in, much to displeasure for the majority of Demonland.

I'd like Sinclair but I think the Eagles would be unlikely to give him up with Cox's career coming to end. He played well in the VFL years and was overlooked many times, not sure why but credit to him to move to the WAFL and credit to the Eagles to finally grab him.

Or AWFL?

Yep, done it on a few occasions.

Matthew Censored from the Swans sounds promising...

I'd happily give up our first pick this year for him. Whether he'll on the trade table is one thing, and whether he's willing to move to somewhere other than WA is another.

Funnily enough we've lost to 3 out of those 4 and still need to play Brisbane at Etihad... and we know what our record is like at Etihad.

Agree, we had one player start in our forward line under 193cm and for most of the game. I like Gawn, but if he doesn't mark it which is majority if the time the ball comes straight out and he doesn't have the pace to chase.

I'm surprised to be honest, I was expecting us to trade for a ruckman at the end of the year. While I like that he puts in 100% each week, I haven't seen anything else to suggest why he should get an extension.

While there was an exodus of players from Casey at the end of season I don't think people realise that these were delisted MFC players. Our better players for Casey last year were Couch (delisted), Magner (delisted),Sellar (delisted), Hogan (underage player now injured), Spencer (Played mostly AFL this year now injured), MacDonald (retired) and so on. Once your time is up at the MFC there is now reason to stick around at Casey, you take the best opportunity you can get and that mean another VFL side or it might mean a move to another state to another comp.

Big test for the Dee's boys, looking forward to see how we play. In that being said if we lose by less than 5 goals I'd take that as a win.

Dane Swan? This sounds like Dan Connors, otherwise I've missed something about this...

If your checked in and taking carry on only and willing to pay for a cab then you would be should make it by about 10 mins. Its tight, depends whether you want to risk it.

Good call, while I believe Chip would play if fit but if he's not then it would probably make more sense to lose some height for extra run in these conditions. Gawn may not be of much use in what looks likely to be a tough night for the tall timber.

No chance of reserves games at the G. However, if we could play before a Melbourne game in walking distance to G then I agree. Punt Road would be great but I highly doubt we could share with Richmond, would need to put up stands or something at training ground.

So being a 2pm game if we find out that Gawn or Fitzpatrick isn't out there we can probably assume they'll be in for Frawley.

Rather than chanting Melbourne each week should we switch to Defence for the time being?

Can we have the word "elite" censored on here?

Or they've been sent to the AIS to be further evaluated thus being 426

By the half way mark half our list will be booked in for surgery to "get them right" for pre-season. They'll of course be burning down the house during pre-season and then get some tightness a week out before Round 1 2015 and miss 426.
