your sarcasm detector is due for a service

No, it's working perfectly.

But he's sarcastically implying that to make that sort of statement you'd need to have seen all of his games at Casey, but it's obvious he hasn't.

I'm saying that the only logic for making such a statement is if you were completely unaware of his form at Casey and were making wild assumptions.

If you had have seen his form at Casey, you still couldn't make that claim, because you'd know better.

Pretty much the same destination, but a slightly different route.

Gysberts & Aussie are in starting 18. Morton Warnock & Strauss make up the 25 (emergencies).

Meaningless minutiae, but Grimes has been named in the centre.

That's sure to make a few people happy, albeit only temporarily.

Hard call to say who will be dropped from the senior side.

I'd like to see Watts dropped for a game or 2, then back in.

I just think the short confidence boost from a few games at Casey would help him at this stage.

I don't see Warnock coming in, and I'd like Morton to gain some touch first.

I know he's not really a mature body, but I'd like to see Strauss included.

Shame about the 2 years prior

Morton (4), Grimes (14), Maric(21), Watts(1), Blease(17), Strauss(19)

not looking hugely successful at this point in time

Re you serious?

As opposed to Flash? They showed footage of him last night on AFL Teams when Burgoyne kicked a goal in "that" quarter. There was a 50/50 ball for him to win, and instead of putting his body on the line, he put his foot out and tried to clear it, the rest is history.

LIke Burgoyne put his foot out to trap it??

Agree 98% Not sure about Strauss has he done enough?

I see 5-6 games of Casey each year as well as televised games

and so far I thought he has been only average in the games I have seen.

Admittedly I have not seen him this year.

I think Morton, Gysberts and Wonna are all improvements to the team given the form and pedigree of the players going out. Over the Hawks debacle, ready to re-load for the Lions. Carn the Dees

I'm really surprised to see Morton come straight in. I wonder if he'll be used as the sub?

I'd like to see J Watts as the Sub, given his good half game last week.

Interesting idea, methinks Morton would have to be the most likely given his versatility and limited preparation. Suprised by this choice but morton must have really impressed at training this week.

Really surprised with Petterd and Morton. Thought for sure Morton was going to run at Casey this week- shows how much i know!!!

Petterd is stiff and i wonder if there is perhaps a slight niggle that he would have been ok to carry into a 4 interchange game but the club won't risk it with only 3 interchange?

In any event i am happy with the ins and am looking forward to Sunday.

Good luck to Maric, Jetta, Petterd, Bate, Blease, Strauss and Warnock at Casey. The better all of these blokes play the better it will make us as a whole because of the pressure for spots they will put on.

I reckon garland will be a late withdrawal and Pettered to replace him.

That wouldn't surprise me at all. Really surprised to see Ricky omitted .... he was a key to us salvaging a draw against the Swans.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a latte change.

I had it in my mind, that Morton 'Should' come back through the VFL,,, But in my Gut, I've had this feeling that he was in.

And Petterd out, that doesn't seem right. We'll see.

He had a finger injury. It's not as though he couldn't run and build fitness.

Yes Maurie but if you or anyone else has played the game you should understand that there is a mammoth difference between running fitness and MATCH fitness. If you have doubts, look at Chippa last week. Morton never played a pre-season game, that's why there is question marks.

Morton for sub.

    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
