Changes for next week.

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.

nathan2jones Great to have Aussie back & Jordie Gys in!! Both in super form! & worked super hard to get their chance. Stoked for em!!

 

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?

Re you serious?

Cant say any of them except Grimes and perhaps Morton have shown much yet. Too early to call whether they are good or bad picks yet.


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.

Bugger

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

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.

If garland is out then warnock gets the nod.

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'm really surprised to see Morton come straight in.

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

If garland is out then warnock gets the nod.

Brisbane dont have a very tall forward line, we have Frawley and Rivers and Martin could go back if needed.

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

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.

It's not so much fitness with Morton anyway.

It's regaining touch and game sense.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
