This was slightly odd, considering he just mentioned that we had 3 debutants about 15 times.
But anyway, why would Dal or Milne come straight back in? If we're picking a team to win games, what would have changed from last week in regards to these two by one run in the 2s?
RL has made a statement and is clearly trying to send a message to the whole playing group with last weeks axing of Milne and Dal Santo, and IMO would be foolish to recall either of them this week. Otherwise the message would be lost and RL would look weak in the eyes of many including the playing group. RL only has to look at Richmond and the Joel Bowden saga, it was a win win situation as Bowden has come back a far better team player as a result of a prolonged stint in the VFL.
IMO opinion Kosi will be the only inclusion this week at the expense of Geary.
We have a much better chance of finals than mathematically as the next two weeks we play North (8th) and Carlton (10th).
If we wins these we will be entrenched in the eight with several winnable games to come.

i think they both did everything asked of them last week and have earnt their way back in this week
we need our best team on the park, and Milne and Dal are a big part of that
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.

Obviously these two are part of our best team, and yes they probably did do everything asked of them last week.
I just think the massage that RL was trying to give them would really be enforced, not just to them but the whole playing group if RL stood firm and left them at Casey for another week or two.
Sure if they back last weeks performance up again this week then maybe they could be consider for the game against Carlton.

problem is that they might be the difference between us winning or losing on saturday.
a couple of goals from milne or a dal santo special like we saw against west coast in harvs's 350th last year could sway what is bound to be a hard-fought match.

Agreed, but haven't they been there and done that this year.
