Daniel Bell ROFL

We are tanking for sure.

Na! I recon it is his last chance opportunity to stay with MFC in the long term. I would say that a few player may get this last op to in the next few weeks.

Not overly impressed that neither Cheney nor Bennell is playing, but I suppose we're playing for a priority pick as well as the future.

Including Bennell & Cheney is not going to have a major effect on weather we win or lose this game. Both have shown steady form in the seniors so this is a decision I simply dont understand.

They (Bennell & Cheney) both are young and have shown enough in the early stages of development to be secure on the list. By playing Dunn & Bell (list managing), the club can determine their future having played 45 & 63 games respectively. Read threads for confirmation.

Exactly.

As an aside, Valenti, Hughes (both rookies), and Bail (underwhelming mature-aged recruit), you'd think, will all get one final chance at some stage to consolidate their spot on the list before the year is out. Even if it's just for one or two games, the pressure will be huge for those 3.

Your on the money here HT.

Personally, I'd rather give Bennell the experience than play Bell.

List management at its finest!

Both Bell and Dunn have been good at casey from all reports so they deserve to show if they have something to offer the club for the future before seasons end. Perfect time to do all this. We know the position we are in and looking at these fringe players to make an assessment on them of if to keep them or delist.

Hoping for a good contest but for the first time think its a must to lose this game in the grand scheme of things. I dont care about priority pick but i care about getting Tom Scully, he is that impressive.

Bail has a 2 year contract, as he was drafted in the national draft... He's safe for the time being...

Valenti, we have to either promote him or let him go I believe... If we don't promote him, we can re-rookie him, but would have to do so through the draft...

Hughes is in the first year of his rookie contract, so we can extend this to a 2nd year if we so wish... Which I think we will do...

This is tanking. I don't see how Dunn and Bell deserve to get another chance to prove themselves. Haven't we seen enough of them already to know that they're not good enough at AFL level and are just wasting space on our list?

I think we can all see what's going to happen. Neither Bell nor Dunn will do anything spectacular, they will continue playing mediocre football and will be delisted. I would much rather see Bennell playing instead of Bell.

It is not tanking, your thinking into it to much. Giving these players a game is about giving them another chance and working out if we should keep them, delist them or trade them. Its not tanking.

Not tanking. Dunn and Bell aren't going to give us any further chance of losing than Bennell, Miller, Bartram etc would.

I think Bails just wants to see where there at before the end of season delistings.

Dunn and Bell have been around for long enough to realise they don't cut the mustard at the highest level.... I believe Dunn may one day cut it, but it won't be at this club....

This is tanking.

Both Bell and Dunn have been in the best players at Casey for the past two or three weeks. One of them replaces a player out suspended. If we really were tanking, we would have tanked it big time last week when it really would have made a difference. The fat, swarthy looking bloke who runs the caper got it right when he said that clubs don't tank!

How you could not care about getting gifted a free pick in the top 3 is beyond me.

"Here, have Griffen for nothing". "Oh, no thanks, we're right". :lol:

Makes perfect sense H.

What support in their right mind would agree to taking Franklin...or Pendlebury... or Kreuzer/Judd... or Mclean...Koschitzke...Pavlich...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
