Ins:

Anyone

But seriously:

Outs: Bennell - Morton

Ins: Bartram - Tapscott

Bennell - What is your deal? You have pace, skill by foot and poise (when you want) but you constantly give us nothing

Morton - Grow a pair, put on some weight, learn to kick or [censored] off

Where are all the people who want Dunn, Bate, Warnock etc traded.

Good games tomorrow for Casey and they will all be in at Darwin.

Our young guys are still too young at this stage to carry the load.

WE badly needed some older strong bodies tonight.

I agree we need Bate and Tappy back .Bate doesn't get pushed over .Bennell , Morton out . Jurrah SUB (MOJO down)... Garland - under the ball all night .Gysberts still too light .

Scott West -WTF happened in every bounce ? Trengrove good forward but wasted .

I love how people think Dunn, Bate and/or Warnock are solutions. They aren't. They won't fix anything.

Bennell and Morton have to go. We can't carry passengers like them. They don't work hard enough, they don't impact on the game enough, they are soft as butter and I don't like them (that last point is crucial of course).

MacDonald is an automatic inclusion if fit. His pre-injury form was fine.

Tapscott also comes back. By Darwin he should be fit enough.

Maybe Bartram for Strauss too. Strauss hasn't convinced me yet. Not sure.

In: MacDonald, Tapscott

Out: Bennell, Morton

Can't believe people are wanting Nicholson or Strauss out, or those who want Bartram in.

OUT : Bennell, Morton.

IN : Tapscott, MacDonald.

How far away are Bail and Davey?

MacDonald's knee injury is more serious than first thought. He will struggle to get up for the Port Adelaide game.

Tappy I think would play OK in the greasy Darwin conditions. But players need 'great feel' in the hands to play in slippery conditions.

So for that reason, I think we'd be doing Bater, & ourselves a dis-service if we played him in the Darwin heat. Keep him 'til after Darwin.

So for this reason I'd be hanging onto Jurrah,,, maybe Bennell for his last chance/ or as Sub,,, and maybe Dunny & Maric. I'd go small, and quick. I'd keep Martin & Jamar & think about switching Morton for Dunn..

* I wouldn't mind seeing Cook in with his great hands and 'Vision'. I hope their Not waiting til we play the Swans again, 'so we can see him sail into Sydney' !!! B)

How far away are Bail and Davey? Geez, I forgot about these boys.

Doc Larkins said Jurrah has an achilles/ankle issue which has been causing his form/lack of run lately. Might need some time off. Thankfully we have the bye!

This explains a lot. If Jurrah has a lower leg problem of ANY sort, it's going to seriously impair his effectiveness.

Just don't understand why we need to play injured players. Surely they've learned something from the Davey debacle!

I'd probably go against the popular trend, and keep Bennell for the Darwin game. His ball handling in slippery conditions is second-to-none, and this, combined with his pace, could be real assets. He must know that a spell at Casey is looming, and if he retains his spot for Darwin, he will surely realise that he is very lucky ..... that might just bring the best out of him. Having said that, his form doesn't warrant retention, and that should probably be the ultimate decider.

They're playing him because he's fit. 2 weeks ago he had a 'Light' piece of taping around his calf muscle. NOT achilles strapping! So you would assume he had an slight tightness, in that 'Calf'.

His lack of competitiveness IS Not due to any injury of a limb.

Maric's contract is up at the end of the year. Why not try him in Bennells position down back or forward with a run through the midfield. He has been the best at Casey a number of times this year including yesterday. It's time to give him a few weeks in a row in the AFL to see whether he is worth keeping. Bennell is contracted next year so send him back to Casey to work on his ticker and see if he can involve himself more in the game.

We need 15-20 possession games out of these guys on a regular basis if they are going to have an influence in the outcome of the game. Bennell is only averaging 10 this year which is less that last year and less than his first year.

The bye couldn't come quick enough, ey??

In a fortnight vs Port:

IN: Tapscott, Bartram, MacDonald (if fit)

OUT: Morton, Bennell (both lucky to be in the seniors), Nicholson (rest?)

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
