I doubt the published team positions will bear much relationship to reality on game day IMHO

Agree.

Whilst Montagna is a big in for them, the Saints desperately miss Hayes. Our mids will need to be on top. Clearances, contested ball and tackles. That's where it will be won.

    Doggo there are no Casey games this weekend they have the Bye.

    Not sure what happened to Campbell last weekend i have seen nothing on him.

    Did not get mentioned in the reserves scratch match.

    Mystery man at present.

    Cheers old dee. Was wondering the same thing about Robbie, would have thought for someone coming off such a limited preparation that playing against Cranbourne in the scratch match would've been an ideal opportunity to get some run in the legs. Perhaps he didn't pull up too well from his first game back?

    No player who lays more than 10 tackles in a match is ever "lucky" to hold his spot.

    Fair point, but when you're slow, don't get terribly involved in the play, and don't really have any offensive talent to add to the tackling, the tackling itself sometimes isn't enough.

    IMO, whilst he ought to be commended for putting his body on the line, chasing, and doing the team thing, Jetta last week didn't look like an AFL player. Of course, it's OK to have defensive-minded players in the side, but my impression of Jetta based on last week's game was that he was not adding a lot to the side.

    Agree, but a few posters have got a little excited by Watts being named at HBF.

    We will line up something like this

    Bartram Warnock Rivers

    Tapscott Frawley MacDonald

    Davey Moloney Jones

    Sylvia Watts Green

    Maric Newton Jurrah

    Martin Gysbert McKenzie

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
