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.

Incl. Bennell&Cheney isnt going to have a major effect on weather we win or lose this game. Both shown steady form in 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.

agreed mate, they dropped bennell for QB clash,i had the pleasure of having a chat with him that day,he was very dissapointed,out of the kids we drafted last season IMO bennell is the lad that has stood out.

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...

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
