DEJA VU REVISITED AGAIN

Featured Replies

Almost here, I get the pleasure of driving past the MCG every week day, I can't wait to get there tomorrow. It will be hot tomorrow we have been smart at the selection table. I think we will line up as follows:

MacDonald Warnock Frawley

Bennell Rivers McDonald

Davey Moloney Bruce

Trengove Miller Bate

Petterd Jamar Green

Spencer Jones Grimes

Scully Dunn McKenzie Strauss

If we can stick with Hawthorn early I believe we have the running capacity in our team that can over run late in the game. Get the ball deep Jamar will smash Gibson in the air.

 

It used to be all about the W's... Whelan, Wheatley, Woewodin, Walsh, et al... Now it's the J's. Happy for the J's to take charge. May they prosper.

Maybe it's time for me to become J Boy

I'm all for being optimistic, but I think the class of Hodge, Mitchell and Roughhead will get the Dorks over the line. We don't have anyone (Davey included) who is at their level.

(I'll be there though, hoping I'm wronger than I've ever been in my life...)

 

If I was Clarkson, I'd play Hodge off half back. That'd almost kill us straight away.

Does anyone know what Casey are up to this week, and if playing are there any MFC listed players running around?


Despite the youth in both teams (HUN says Hawthorn's average age and average games played are both less than ours), Hawthorn's experienced players are all better than ours. Mitchell, Hodge, Roughead and Brown will dominate in their positions, and that will hurt us.

Having said that, if we can kick some early goals, and maybe get a quick lead established, who knows? We haven't played a game from in front against a decent opponent since who knows when.

Josh Mahoney round one preview, bit of an insite heading into round one.

Also a press confrence with sculgove and bails.

Where so close ;) dont dissapoint me dees !

Edited by Carn dees

Yes alot of J's...

I like the look of that side on paper... if in fact they do line up in those exact positions. A few surprises thrown in with Junior starting at half forward, Grimes at half back, Miller Green Trengove forward line & the inclusion of Strauss Spencer Dunn & McKenzie. I guess Junior is up there to create forward pressure & not for his goal kicking prowess. Grimes spent most of his game time in the backline last year so not a total shock, however, most figured he would play more in the midfield this year(still may). I like Green close to goal to take advantage of his accurate kick. I like Miller close to goal because he is a good size and can take a grab. Also I think that it simplifies the game for him. He doesn't have a natural footballers instincts and is always slow or unsure of himself when he takes posession further up the ground. At least at full forward he should get his touches inside 50m(preferably within 30m) and just go back for a set shot and not worry about being out of range or playing on. Trengove will provide some added forward pressure and from all reports is a good mark for his size and can slot the occasional goal so thats another tick. Dunn may be used as a tagger as in the past and hopefully use his big frame to soften up a few of their mids and create space for ours.

Does this mean Spencer & McKenzie have been elevated onto the senior list? Haven't seen much of McKenzie or Strauss so will reserve judgement & if Spencer can win his share of the ruck and manage to land the ball on his boot this year I will be quite content.

Hope they all get amongst it and provide the 1st boil-over of the year.

They won't line up as they've been listed there.

 

Weren't we quick to forget about J Watts...

I think the original post might have said similar to "only fit players". J Watts is far from fit enough to play seniors yet.

The J factor.

I bought this up a few weeks ago. for those who didnt see it....

It used to be the “W” factor – White, Wheelan, Wheatly Woey, Ward etc, now the biggest influence I believe in the clubs history will be the “J” factor

The J’s

Fitzpatrick Jack

Grimes Jack

Watts Jack

Trengove Jack

Spencer Jake

McDonald James

Frawley James

Strauss James

Bennell Jamie

Rivers Jared

Macdonald Joel

Meesen John

Gysberts Jordan

McKenzie Jordie

And don’t forget!

Jurrah Liam

Jamar Mark

Jones Nathan

Jetta Neville

Johnson Paul

Our team could look something like this

Backs: Bennel Jamie Frawley James Strauss James

HB’s: Macdonald Joel Rivers Jared McKenzie Jordie

Ctr’s: McDonald James Grimes Jack Gysberts Jordan

HF’s: F/patrick Jack Watts Jack Johnson Paul

FWD’s: Jetta Neville Jurrah Liam Spencer Jake

Rucks: Jamar Mark Trengove Jack Jones Nathan

Res’s: Meesen John Coach: Mahoney Josh

Pres: Stynes Jim V/Pres: Jalland Guy


So that would be:

Backs: Jamie James James

HB's: Joel Jared Jordie

Ctr's: James Jack Jordan

HF's: Jack Jack Johnson

FWD's: Jetta Jurrah Jake

Rucks: Jamar Jack Jones

Res's: John Coach: Josh

Pres: Jim V/Pres: Jalland

So that would be:

Backs: Jamie James James

HB's: Joel Jared Jordie

Ctr's: James Jack Jordan

HF's: Jack Jack Johnson

FWD's: Jetta Jurrah Jake

Rucks: Jamar Jack Jones

Res's: John Coach: Josh

Pres: Jim V/Pres: Jalland

:)

You bet!!

Does anyone know what Casey are up to this week, and if playing are there any MFC listed players running around?

Bendigo at Casey Fields in a clash with Melbourne v Hawthorn.

One of a few unfortunately.

Someone mentioned a need for a decent creative forward pocket.

Cue - Scully's three goals and as many assists on debut ;)


Could all these J's be the planning of a J curve?

Watch out for Carl Peterson debuting for the Hawks. Showed a lot against the Dogs in the nab cup, theres a lot of Jurrah about him, they look similiar, his got a high leap and he wears number 48 (like Jurrah last year)

Hmmn, good call Steve.

I said last week we shouldn't go in with too many débutantes.

We played like hacks with too little talent & experience. Its hurt our confidence now just when we couldn't afford it.

Now we'll need to rush back some experience, hopefully that in itself won't backfire on us with further injury problems.

Goodluck to the Col's, & poss Martin, Cheney & Maric.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
