I'm with rpfc on this. From the outside it's hard to tell who's beat up the most and would benefit from a break, but we do have some fresh players: *Schache who didn't get to even play VFL this weekend after coming off 4 goals for Casey the weekend before *Laurie, who as sub, played all of 5 minutes on Monday night after a BOG in the VFL the week before The VFL team will be coming off a 6-day break so it's not a such a huge "freshener" as we might be thinking, but nonetheless we have Harmes, who was never actually dropped, who has had 2 outstanding games for Casey in the last 2 games, and 2 weeks off w/o actually being injured. That's before we even think about BBB and McD and others.

I came to the same conclusion!

While Bompt plays for the Bulldogs they'll always be a Premiership threat. He is a champ for sure.

I wondering if the 5 day turnaround (vs 6 for Casey to AFL) is playing a part in selection? Brown, Schache and Harmes (8 coaches votes in the VFL last week, Laurie got 10) are almost on standby to come in and be 'fresher' than those with a 5 day break, especially if their VFL game time is limited/managed.

I'd love to see how he would go as HFF/small forward

I'm barracking for soft tissue injuries by Tigers and/or 1 match suspensions

He went #2. I'd pick Kozzie above him, but he'd definitely be top 5 in a retrospective draft

Anderson is a gun. We have a game!

Big comeback by Freo but Gold Coast with the breeze last Qtr. Personally I'm finding this fun to be so invested in another game. I tell people now that my second team is whoever is playing Freo.

Pretty sure I just spotted a Demons scarf!

If you're a Freo fan the game started at 3pm Perth time. They'd never schedule West Coast at that time.

With Brown back in , do we think Petty will be down back again?

Oh this is good. LOL. It appeals to my inner trollness.

It's not cool to claim someone else's joke, rpfc. Next you'll be saying you're high on potenuse.

I'm happy with an unbeatable Brisbane team at home that is [censored] away

You've been cutting onions. Making a lasagne ... for one.

No. It's hard enough to find someone to drop for Kozi and Harmes aint no Kosi.

And if Harmes is available, what do we do with him?

I thought that Oliver's third quarter, when the game was on the line, was something special. 6 Oliver 5 Petracca 4 Grundy 3 Hunter 2 Rivers 1 May

McVee and JVR (if we ever play him) would be our most likely in 2023? I'd be disappointed if we went through another year w/o a single nomination because they're one of the indicators of future success.

Fitzroy are on this list so it goes back to at least 1995. if you listed it as average no of Rising Stars per year, Gold Coast and GWS would be at the top.

First 2 picks

That really sucks for the boy. I think last night showed that McD really shouldn't be the back up ruck. Schache would have been great given his game today. I don't think we should drop McD at all. His body work helps the other forwards and he's back up for defence. Just don't put him in the ruck. Is this the time to (finally) unleash JVR?

I was in and out watching the game and missed the Schache injury. He was excellent in the parts that I watched, kicked a few goals and took some contested marks. I thought he looked like a shoe-in for next week. What's the prognosis?

A few days ago we didn't know who to drop, now we don't know who to promote.
