Conditions today were appalling but Lynden Dunn with eight goals was sensational. Didn't miss and was solid throughout.

Box Hill goaled on the siren to get within 14 points but it was the wettest I've ever seen at Casey. Had to make a quick getaway because the car park was getting inundated and the iPhone battery was threatening to erupt like an Iceland volcano if I would have kept it open.

So Dunn in for Watts next week?

Thats the no brainer of the week. Dont know why Dunn has not been used as a forward that's what he came to the Demons as when drafted.

It is not as thought we have six good forwards forcing him up the ground!

Geez, it's like beating my head against a wall. Dunn should have been playing forward for the last 3 years!

I'm still at a loss why we dropped him.

Wouldnt it be Dunn for Miller instead of Watts?

After yesterdays performance there are 5 spots available.

The only one of our forwards who earnt his place was Green.

Dunn should get any of the other five spots he wants.

He was dropped due to poor form! People must forget how bad he was playing.

He was rightly dropped, but he was getting to the right spots but panicking and not finishing off good work. 8 goals indicates that he's found some confidence, lets just hope he can bring it to the big league.

Dunn needs to play as a forward for the remainder of the year. Inside the 50! Full forward or in the pocket as a leading player!

His career is on the line at the Dee's. Our luck we will delsit him and another club will pick him up and play him forward where he will do well.

Dunn IN

Miller OUT

Dunn deserves a chance forward before Miller & Newton. With Jurrah & Pettard out. This is hs time! Versatile player too. Just needs to be given time forward. I think he is a real trier. More than what I can say about some of the others in the senior team at the moment.

Still not sure why Mckenzie didnt play at the "G" yesterday would have thought match ups and conditions would have suited him. Great too see him in the Best and Dunn has done everything right for a recall good on him others need to look at him and learn as he is a bit of a whipping boy!

Versatile?? More a master of none who had a day out at Casey.

A week ago all these know alls about Dunn were very quiet. He has been a terrible and repeated disappointment at AFL level. We have not got a functioning forward line and after a full pre season Dunn cant nail a position in the side. Hmmm

For 8 goals at Casey he deserves his opportunity (once more) to grasp a role at AFL level. I did not see the performance but I hope it is a sign that he has turned the corner and not a demonstration of the expanding gap between the AFL and the VFL.

But after six years and 60 games on the list, I have yet to see any aspects that suggest he is more than a trier who is borderline AFL at best.

A poor return to date on pick#15 in 2004.

Deanox for the win! B)

Is Dunn a key position tall? No

Is Bate? I think not.

The only reason why Watts is believed to be a Key position is because he is 196cm. Truth be told, he plays like a Forward flank for a VFL reserves team.

Key position tall prospects:

Jack Watts - 196cm

Matthew Warnock - 192cm

James Frawley - 193cm

Jared Rivers - 192cm

Cale Morton - 192cm

Matthew Newton - 193cm

I noticed early in this thread there was a mention that Jack Fitzpatrick was injured in the reserves. I haven't been able to find any more detailed information on this anywhere at all, so am wondering if anyone here might know what the extent of the injury was and how well he was performing up until the time he left the ground. Thanks in advance.

    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

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    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
