Are you talking about Watts or Wunders?

Hope so that would make them two down - well done Garland. Maybe we should ask Pedo to take another one out - he can cop a week for the team

Thanks KC How are Toump and ANB going?

Don't speak too soon

Just don't know if he has the pace. Don't want to have to watch him trailing his man every inside 50

I have a feeling we are all going to be upset. Next 3 weeks will be tough - all we can hope for is the boys don't drop their heads and go back into their shell like last year.

Round 5 injury report said 2-3 weeks. Hopefully its sooner but I assume he needs at least 2 full weeks of training before playing

Yes will be interesting to see who comes in given the oppositions ruck. I think Spencer Jamar combo is a double liability. I have my doubts over Spencer although Pedo proved himself last year so maybe Spencer can do the same. I think Pedo is less of a liability as he can play a genuine forward role and just relieve Jamar a few times however not sure if he can 2nd ruck against Freo. Could Spencer maybe be sub and come on at half time. Dawes and can relieve Jamar a couple times and that means we don't have two Ruckman on the ground the whole game.

Oh I thought that officially started half way through our round 1 match

Last week was a defining moment but apparently Richmond just played crap. If we win this week the media will probably put it down to a comet passing

Talk of finals outside of pre-season? Can we do that on here?

Looks like there is a bit of free space for another tat on Jones left leg maybe he could dedicate it to the man in question...

You make a fair point re Spencer but it is just to much of a risk/weakness having him as the main ruckman. I have never really believed in Spencer but maybe Spencer Jamar both get 50% ruck time (meaning when they are in the ruck they are rested). Jamar has proven to be somewhat effective up forward however Spencer would be a bit of a liability and slow the team down. Alternatively [Pedersen] could come in as he is less of a liability up forward and could ruck 25%.

Shame - think he was just on the verge of becoming a consistently good player Best of luck!

I wouldn't worry - the commentators wouldn't be able to identify their own thumb if their life depended on it

Thanks guys for the updates! Keep em coming

Injury to Lake - hopefully <2 weeks

Probably wouldn't have had the chance if Viney was still in the team so I guess that's a positive. Give him a full game next week - hopefully he can produce another fine performance.

That's what I was thinking - our team structure was perfect this week (don't want to ruin that spread and speed) If we want to win this one we will need to take some risks. Pedo could also potentially come in for Watts as well (I want to show faith in Watts but at least you know what Pedo will deliver)

McDonald is fantastic but he does make me cringe watching him run himself into trouble

Looking at last weeks game - that would have been paid in the back (at the end of the tackle he lied on Garlands back)

Outs: Jetta, Kent Ins: (depending on game) Grimes Bail/Toump I think some forget that Bail can play and proved himself last year. Is hard at the contest, has a big tank, can tackle and can play forward/mid role. He also gives us speed and spread which we need given that we have a slow inside midfield. Would replace Kent. Grimes for Jetta - bit of a loss there but hopefully only for a week. Toump is another possibility although I would like to see him build consistent form and confidence at Casey.

Loved that moment when up for a mark, clashed with Drummond and then drops to the ground but somehow keeps his balance and takes off grabs the ball with one hand and then passes it off - all in the space of a second. http://www.afl.com.au/video/2015-04-24/debut-to-despair Then there are those moments when he grabs the ball and just works his way through 6 people then delivers a perfect kick. He did it with his pass to Hogan and his snap on goal.
