Petracca needs to play midfield with Brayshaw out. The Casey player who has been "good" up forward over the last 6 odd weeks is AMW. It's him Woey or Spargo. Spargo's form at Casey has been middling at best but he has finals experience. Can't see Jordon or Laurie performing meaningful roles. BTW... Time for Sparrow to play a blinder !!

The radical move is Max to the TMac position and Grundy to ruck. Carlton will be forced to defend against Max on the 50 allowing space to Fritsch. Make sure Chandler is at Max's feet to take the crumb or handball. Max should not kick unless he has to.

If Blues kick straight cannot see them losing this one

seems that way from everything going around but as the appeals board can no longer up the sentence perhaps we go for it

Remind me why some things go straight to the tribunal. Please

Sounds like a sensible decision. I know he's been injured but only 50 AFL games at 28/29. Was he a late recruit?

Must agree.. it was more of a front on tackle. Feet leaving the ground is the clincher.... Do it at your own risk

Hard to see a better team from what is left at Casey. Next Friday's weather is showing as warm (24) and fine If Carlton I'd be including Tomlinson. Perhaps Turner if Sydney Forward... like the selection committee... I'm bereft of ideas

I had hoped to say who cares but unfortunately..... Go Sydney and Go Port

This is the answer...plus increasing accuracy is the other. We need to maintain a 3:2 goal to behind ratio. Last night it was 1:2. Finally the boundary line play through the two wingers has to be tempered by corridor run

The barrel has been scraped

Let's face it.. we have been NQR all year Win tonight and who knows but unfortunately all the usual flaws came screaming home Can't see us winning the next three

This is starting to get embarrassing. Can we score

4 marks to zero inside 50 All on the wayward midfield

Game getting away from us

Simply because we never make it a media issue

Need to score to win Come on

mmmmmm

Originally known as the Reservoir line... Very traditionally Magpie country Went to school in East Reservoir... only Demons supporter at the school as I remember

One of my favourite players but hell does he ever butcher set shots for goal. (Nail em Riv's)

Agree Tonight due to the weather it won't be a true test so hopefully luck falls our way. Lose and it's likely Carlton followed by a draining game in Brisbane heat and a GF against a fresh Collingwood. (Possible but unlikely) Win and the Stars and Moon will follow Go Dees

A pity that Turner didn't have more time to establish himself in the side. Just have to back the selection committee on Hibberd being the better choice. The game will be decided by midfield turnovers. Let's hope we have less

De Goey worries me. He has that X factor like Petracca We must kick straight.... 10 goals 3 or similar ratio

GWS v the loser of Port v Brisbane could be a great game. Can't see GWS winning but they are hot (Needless to say I can't see the Saints beating GWS)

Not necessarily. Many clubs see ruckmen as a necessary evil. Sure you take an injury risk but it's all about balance and rotations. Realistically it's an admission that neither ruckman has a role forward and with 2 "fresh" ruckmen they will attempt to play Max closely and nullify him.
