That's the best sledge on Mortons performance so far tonight!

Morton "played" tonight.

Correct and to name two forwards out when they hardly saw the ball? Bennell was ok through limited opportunity.

Thought Trenners and Jones did well, the rest can fight over the outs.

If it was based solely on tonight's game, you would drop 18 players. So realistically:

IN: Petterd, Maric

OUT: Morton, Woneamirri

Morton is a soft player. I have never been so frustrated by a player. Wona is a touch stiff, but he played in the midfield for alot of tonights game and got smashed. I can't think of anyone else I would drop though, even accounting for how bad they were.

Based on tonight and the previous few games I could see a reason to drop almost every player.

It is hard to blame the forwards, as the ball never gets there, and when it does, the delivery is usually average.

It is also hard to blame the backline, as the are under the pump for the majority of the game (even when we are winning) due to our tactic of letting other teams carry the ball into their own forward half before we decide to put pressure on them.

That being said, without even watching the Casey game I would bring in Petterd, Maric, Blease (if they think he can run out a game).

I would drop any of Green, Davey (but I know they are both safe, despite the fact they have iven little to nothing this year) Bennell and Dunn.

My god we need Scully and McKenzie back. We need speed and tackling pressure and we need to bloody atack the ball and opponents and start to gut run. It is so frustrating.

Brad Green was the most disappointing last night. Can't drop him though. And we delisted our performing captain.

Without a doubt, Bennell has to go.

So many players were rubbish, could drop them all . . . .

OUT: Bennell, Morton

IN: Two guys who give a [censored].

Unfortunately I doubt the FD has the balls for it but after 5 games this year it is time for

A large number to be sent to Casey if for no other reason than to show we need more effort.

Out: Wona,Bennel, frawley, Morton and Green ( that will not happen )Tapscott will be suspended.

In: Warnock, Mcdonald, Strauss, Maric, Petterd and Bate.

I am very serious about Green I have only seen 1 game from him this year where I thought he earned his spot.

It is time for a big statement how much bigger would that be?

But alas I don't expect much from our Coach.

Playing half a season we would have got more out of Mcdonald that we have so far out of Green.

Tapscott will not even be cited. He didn't hit him in the head. He didn't raise an arm. It was just probably a little far from the bloke with the ball but he could mount an argument like Barry Hall that it was in the motion of making a play or run...

Out- Dunn, Bennell, Morton (as much as it annoys me)

In- Petterd, Maric (as long as he plays ok at Casey), Blease or Strauss (if they put in another good Casey performance)

Bennell, Davey AND Wona should all be dropped. Soft passengers. Morton and Grimes have stalled and deserve a run in the two's.

MAcdonald, Petterd, Bate all deserve games and we may as well see what guys like Cook, Blease and that have.

Not sure Tapscott will get week though, wasn't high contact and he was fine after it.

Out:Bennell (sure he does a couple of nice things a game, but it his work off the ball that concerns me. When was the last time he applied some forward pressure?), Morton( I'm not sure what his role is these days), Dunn

In: Petterd, Maric, MacDonald

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
