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.

    Think wona is weeks off, how much footy has he played in the last 12 mths

    would expect him to play at least another 2 - 3 weeks at vfl

    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?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
