I know as much about Brock's injury situation as you do RR.

On yesterdays form i would hope he would be carrying an injury, because he had no influence on the game.

If he is fit then his days could be numbered. A major concern for the club.

I understand WYL.

I share your concern. I have made some pointed comments about Brock's overall performance since 2006 and got howled for it. My view is that he has plateaud in that time where injury and I think the changing game have impacted him. I would expect in a press conference he would say he is not injured. Does not mean he is not. I hope he gets a good pre season under his belt and he lifts his performances where his body can stand the rigours of a full season of AFL.

Agree. Also he will be a better player with quicker and more talented players around him.

Thats my hope

Hope he gets it together next year. It's mind boggling how different a player he is now (limited pre-seasons taken into consideration) to when he first burst on the scene. A pale shadow of the young gun he once was.

I really hope he comes out and plays some great footy in '10, because at this rate he'll be on the scrapheap as just another NQR before you know it. Would be a massive shame because he's a talented and determined individual, but his body just won't do what his mind is telling it to at the minute.

Yes i hope you are right. I know Brock has opened his wallet for the club so his heart is definately in the right spot, but he needs help in the form of speed in the middle.

Maybe he is more like a greg williams type player-bullet like handballs fed to runners.

Time will Tell, but we must be hard on him next year-no passengers...

McLean had a decent game against Freo.

And he hasn't done any PS speed work and his season has been stop-start with niggles - he may not be injured now but he hasn't been able to build a decent base of fitness.

And anyone alluding to us 'tanking' against Carlton are delusional and arrogant.

Carlton are at least a 6 goal better team than us.

We didn't need to try to lose, we are just that awful.

Rotations were down yesterday, i don't believe we have ever been Tanking myself, but Bails was being conservative yesterday.

A times we are awful and Carlton are better team than us but we left little to chance.

By the on field structure we had at times we were certain not to do a North or Freo this week.

Lucky we were experimenting..*Cough*

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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
