Enjoy that Maric was in the best, would like to see him get going

Would like to see Jetta and Gysberts get a game soon as reward for consistent efforts

I've got no problem playing Wona in Darwin. I'm pretty sure he'll perform as the hometown hero.

If we ever play a premiership match in Ringwood or wherever Gysberts is from then we'll give him a free pass into the team too.

So in summary... Bruce has a questionable hamstring for a few weeks while Gysberts is tearing up the VFL, and the forward line is looking worn out and short of repeat-lead marking targets and Miller is BOG in the VFL.

Depending on how Bate's ankle goes, it could be as direct as Gysberts for Bruce and Miller for Bate.

Has Miller been doing any ruck-helping at Casey? Because PJ hasn't added too much.

Thinking out loud, the players most likely to come in this coming week would be -

Miller

Gysberts

Morton

Plus Aussie in for luck up North. Which might make Maric cry or might make him get some traction at last.

Why would that be? AFAIK this is the first time Maric's been in the best for Casey, and of the two Wonna's the one who's shown he can cut it at AFL level.

If anyone would cry because they missed selection it would be Cheney and McNamara who have been doing well down there for a long time.

Colin Garland played 1 and a half games of footy in 12 months and came straight into the senior side. The FD have shown that if they think someone is capable they will happily promote them after minimal gametime despite long absences.

I don't think that would/should apply to Wonaeamirri.

Im not sure how Morton can be behind Gysberts.

Id love to see Jordan get a game, but I struggle to see Morton being overlooked if he is right to play.

I'll have a crack at answering that one.

Gysberts has been in Casey's best players in three consecutive matches and was a significant contributor in each win.

I saw Cale Morton in his first game back and he looked good but was really eased into things after a longish layoff. I'm told that he struggled to shake off his tag on Saturday but being the quality footballer that he is, he still managed three goals, one from a soft 50 metre penalty. The selectors would have at the back of their minds the fact that he would be required to play his comeback game to AFL footy in the heat and humidity of Darwin after a long flight. Might not be the best idea for a bloke who is a very valuable asset to the club.

So do you suggest we do not play Morton and give him a week's break as there is no match at Casey this week?

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
