you may be surprised with PETTERD'S inclusion this week, but you'll find he won't play in defence, but he will almost definately play in the forward line, in a Defensive Role on Joel McDONALD, who's been in great form running off half back, i just think you'll find he's been brought in to try stop that! And Nathan Jones will be a late inclusion for McLEAN, who from the whispers i've heard will be a late withdrawal with injury..

Just a few points for you guys! Cheers! Go dees!

i actually believe it coz jones is not even named on casey's starting line up.. normally they would be named on the bench but i think we will see jones 2morro night..

I think you'll find that they take emergency players with them on interstate games, hence Jones not being named for Casey.

Looking forward to match tonight. Will be interesting to see how they perform.

Last time Jones played up there he had his best game and kicked 4 or 5 from memory.

Said he was resting pretty much. Going up for experience. also saying that he was a little sore. But didn't leave out that he could come back in as the flu is rampant at melbourne as hughes and wheatley had it pretty bad today

So he's resting, he's sore, they took him up for the experience (why name him then drop him, when he could have just been the traveling emergency instead?), but he could play because of the flu <_< :wacko:

That is not at all silly or confusing.

(why name him then drop him, when he could have just been the traveling emergency instead?)

From a PR perspective it wouldn't be the worst move.

There'd be a fair bit of media heat if we were to drop him - much easier to take him up and not play him.

If we were to do that, the news of his omission would then be buried amongst all the other footy chat that arises from the weekend's games.

Not that I should be happy that anyone is unwell, but I'm very pleased that Bate is out and Jack gets another chance.

Hopefully Bate goes on to infect the rest of the group and we can lose to West Coast next week on grounds of not being able to field a team ;):lol:

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
