Looking at reports from those who actually attended the Casey game, I don't think anyone said the Weed was ready for a game yet, but you obviously know better.

Picture of Brent Harvey would work.... the [censored]

I can't say I noticed him

I watched the Pies Saints game today and all I can say is: Take a bow Jeremy Howe! Love it

Lol - you've got 6 players in that are yet to play a whole game. I can see them blowing up in the first quarter.

Because he's still on restricted minutes in Casey practice matches FFS

Only if we can dress him up as a rag doll

I thought the lack of leadership on the ground was palpable. The players started worrying about themselves. At half time I was expecting Jones to pull the group in together for some words before heading back to the changing rooms. I thought he should've said something along the lines of leaving this 2015 [censored] on the ground and coming back in the second half playing 2016 footy. I thought it was line in the sand time and that our line in the sand was bigger than theirs (if you will). I wasn't at the game, but did this happen? I also don't question Jones as captain but he can't just lead by example.

Did Trengove get any midfield time or was it all forward? Cheers

Fair dinkum you could take your pick with the outs: TMac - back to dumb football with terrible decisions Kent - did he play? Comprehensively dacked by a 2nd gamer Hogan - Not going to be dropped but FFS he stops playing when he thinks he should get a free, when he misses a mark, when he's [censored] off with the world. Don't effing stop! Prince - Brought in for his run, translates to: brought in for his run and subsequent turnover Bugg - Wasn't the worst but what's his role? Watts - unsighted until the last qtr and the opposite of his last 4 games. He's been great this year but I was wondering how he would handle a bit more attention (and he didn't) Salem - not the worst but would've topped the 'frees against' tally. Brayshaw - underdone Gawn - tried hard but surprisingly ineffectual Tyson - 3 points that I can remember as well as some shyte disposal Jones - OK but not in the thick of things M Jones - One howler, but otherwise pretty good I could go on but this is the wrong thread In summery, looking at the Casey thread, the INS are maybe ANB and Dunn. The potential outs are endless. I'd like to see an end to the Frost in the forward line experiment thanks. PS Sick of being shattered

I expect Dunn and Stretch will be at the G as emergencies then will sorf to Casey for the game when not required.

If we play like we have over the NAB Cup and last week we should win well. We should positively ram them but we have no recent history of burying sides so I'm not sure we have the conviction to get on a roll and keep going. We tend to try and protect a lead rather than smash sides. Please smash them. I'd give up finishing 9th to Richmond (but only Richmond) if we could smash them. Not asking much, just 150 points.

If Langdon was right we would let Hogan out of his contract a year early to go back to Freo. Yeah right!

I would think, if it's only match simulation, they probably will.

I understand Dunn had/has a personal issue to deal with from last year. I assumed he was left out of the leadership group to take the pressure off and allow him to focus on his footy.

I don't think Hunt was eligible to play at Casey today.

I'm quite comfortable with the idea of Richmond looking like a cringeworthy laughing stock. Knock yourselves out!

Righto: B: Jetta Dunn Garland HB Salem TMac Vince C Bugg Viney Brayshaw HF Petracca The Weed* VDB F Garlett Hogan Kent R Gawn Jones Tyson Trengove Oliver Watts Harmes * Give this is an 'idealistic' team, then you need to imagine the Weed with an extra 12kgs and 3 years older. I also wouldn't mind seeing Hunt on a wing.

Going by our current fixture, all but 2 or 3 of our home games would be at Richmond, if it went ahead. Boooo

Lol

The bit where you said 'I made it up' - 'my opinion' would have sufficed

Didn't Newton come to the Dees as an inside mid who was never going to get a gig at Port with their line-up (Boak, Wines, Ebert etc)? Wasn't the plan to turn him into an outside mid and reep the rewards of that kick? I think he was putting in a huge preseason prior to the ankle injury, knowing the writing was on the wall for him. I hope he gets fit enough to get on the park and show his wares.

I've changed my mind and agree. Given the lower minutes played by Frost last week and no ruck time, I think he'll come out. I'd have this team minus Grimes and plus Prince, and Garlett with just the two t's.
