No change. Maybe we just got Birss to warm up to through a bit of confusion into the mix. Probably not though, more likely that Dal or whoever got up.

If they make more than one change and feel the need to bring in another forward as well as a ruckmen Geary could be a player they could bring in as a half-forward/midfielder. Say Gardiner comes in, that means he can push forward as could BJ if needed which means it wouldn't necessarily have to be a ...

From listening to it on radio Geary was our easily our best. Kicked 4 goals which takes him to 9 in his last 3 games where he has been best or second best for Casey. Gardiner sound like he got a bit of it but seemed to turn it over quite a bit and also kicked 0.4. In regards to him limping, he was l...

It'll be interesting to see what happens. Subi is a vastly different ground to the Dome and thus needs to be played differently. We don't wan't to lose much run but due to the size of teh ground the HF area is so much bigger means you probably need two key forwards at all time with one to stay in F5...

He's been doing very well in the last few weeks and kudos to him for that. Since he got the job last year I thought he'd had a real tough job to meet some high expectations with a list that was not performing. I thought he had struggled a bit to cope with such a hard gig but I think he's starting to...

Lots of positives to come out of the match. It was interesting to see us play a different style of play involving lots more handball and play-on. We had way more disposals than we've ever had in any game before. It looked questionable at the start as our skills couldn't hold to such a style of play ...

For me its Allen and Gwilt out for M. Gardiner and Schneider. Schneider is a talented player and has played a good game in the seconds an should come back. Regarding Kosi, he'll struggle against Hawthorn's bigger ruckmen. Plus, we were lucky that Riewodlt was playing well when pushed deep which mean...

I was critical of Jones last year, but I am a massive fan now. His disposal will always be his weakness but it does seem to be improving and t really looks as if he has been working hard on it. I see similiarities between him and Priddis and see improvement in him to the point where I think next yea...

I watched some of the games today on Fox and was quite interested in Duncan. I didn't see all of that game but from what I saw he looked pretty good. Without being dominant he was definately one of the better performed players for NSW. Playing as a midfielder he found a lot of the ball, particularly...

Blake was very serviceable tonight and really gave it his all as he always does. I'd just love for him to stop giving away so many free kicks. I think one was a bit dodgy, but he still gave away another 3, and some were in positions once he had already outpositioned his opponent. However, for me it ...

He presents an interesting scenario for when Gardy comes back hopefully next match. As shown by the last few weeks, he's much more capable than simply being a #2 ruck to Gardy only playing 40-50% gametime. I'd like to see Gardy spend a bit more time up forward, where he has very briefly shown he can...

Was really good toight and has had a few good weeks in a row now. Has definately relished the role with Gardy out as has Gardy when Kingy's been out. He's relatively good around the ground and adds a physical presence once the ball hits the deck with his tackling and follow-up efforts.

Just on topic of the footy on TV, I noticed last (in Melbourne) was a replay of the 1.00 foxtel game on Seven about 10.30 or so at night. Is this a regular thing every weekend? Mind you, about the only decent thing Seven does for footy.

I don't really mind some of the recent players who aren't playing much footy, but I definately draw the line at players who are running around in the VFL like Lappin and Licuria.

The proof will be in the pudding when in a months time we can see how he has turned it around. I don't think it will have that greater negative impact yet it could have a profoundly positive effect.

In relation to McEvoy, I think from this point on he should be brought into the side whenever one of King or Gardy is out with possibly one exception being Freo because of Sandilands because of his sheer size and weight. Its just unfortunate that this week happens to be against Freo. That means Rix ...
