Morton to GWS anyone?

Shuffle of the list at least!

I cannot believe the club still accepts his lazy attitude and poor output

I don't see what dropping Davey accomplishes besides lowering the ceiling of what the team could achieve.

This is the wrong mentality. Davey too probably has this mentality. "they won't drop me" = lack of intensity/desire that is obviously haunting many of our players. Watts played a good game, nobody can dispute that, but is it right that one good game out of five guarantees his spot for the next five weeks? I think not.

Look at Adelaide, one of their star players Bernie Vince was dropped back to the SANFL because he wasn't performing. Adelaide went out and beat the Saints, i know the Saints are struggling, but they're still the Saints.

I almost guarantee you we'd be in serious strife against the Saints if we were to play them this week. And we're going to be in even more strife against the Crows this week because they want it more. They'll walk all over us, because we have blokes like Davey in our team who think their spot is guaranteed. (Davey isn't the only one)

Also heard some murmurings about J.Riv missing out this week TDW.

Would you agree this move hehe ;)

I think the Vince dropping had more to do with his attitude. He can boogy. If you know what I mean.

"His form has not been great," declared Crows football operations chief Phil Harper last night of the Crows' 2009 club champion. "He has not lost his ability overnight but he may have lost his confidence.

"And, on form, Bernie does not deserve to be in the side."

We are SOFT, FFS drop people if they are not performing. Reinstate them if they prove their worth in the VFL, just don't let them drift through a season of AFL football without doing anything. Be hard.

Aussie the sub.

Give the experienced guys a chance to redeem themselves this week, if they're poor they get the chop... Newton been more consistant than Bate, and will give us that long option...

Yes, my view is short sighted, because I believe form slumps are generally short term things.

FWIW i believe there will be 2 changes

In: Bate, Maric

Out: Morton, Dunn

Newton was ordinary on the weekend.

Petterd didn't set the world on fire either and if i was a betting man i would suggest he's been sent back to Casey to work on a particular area of his game- when he gets that right he will be back.

McDonald still has sloppy ball use and barring an injury i can't see him forcing his way back in.

Warnock is stiff and must be close, it is also possible that melbourne do a bulldogs and bring in Warnock for Frawley to get some form at Casey.

Agree with all of this other than I rate McDonald higher than this, he is showing form at the moment.

    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
