Interesting to see the Blues supporters saying Wellingham got off lightly and the Pies fans saying he was crucified. When Sylvia got his jaw broken off the ball and the perpetrator, Josh Kennedy wasn't even cited, no one said a thing.

    Was anybody vital missing from the GHS Giants team that caused them to suffer such a horrible flogging at the weekend?

    Their assistant recruiting officer was absent.

    Apparently Michael Evans is on the way back and may have a run with Casey soon. I thought he could be a real chance and I hope we keep him next year, to give him that chance.

    Michael "Pickles" Evans is a good chance to resume as early as this coming Saturday for the Casey development league team which plays Northern Blues at Cramer Street, Preston at the ungodly hour of 9.30am!

    Good luck to him!

    I am a fan of Evans and believe he is a good footballer. I hope he gets the chance next year to show us.

    I have little idea of his future worth Redleg due to injury etc I have seen so little of him.

    You would have to wonder if he will make it given the injury he has had. Back injuries are not easily fixed long term.

    But who knows if nothing else his return increases our depth and options which have seem very limited the last couple of months.

    As you have said often will we ever recruit a player that does not get a serious injury in his first two years?

    He is a kid with a bit of ability and I would hate to lose him, before he has a real chance to show us whether he can become a regular senior player. His first game last year was pretty good and most would have been excited by him.

    We need Port and Dogs to win another game each if we are to keep our current drafting position. Port play depleted Bombers at home and news this morning is that Ryder has done a calf. Hopefully Port can win this one and then a loss in Darwin by us makes it a certainty as long as Dogs win one more or we don't win 4 more.

    I am sorry to talk like this but I just want us to have the best chance at a quick rebuild. Like WC and Bombers we could turn it around quickly next year with some new midfield talent.

    I have said elsewhere Redleg I reckon there is no hope of bridging the Gap we need to beat Port plus 3 other games to have a pray.

    Port plus 2 is the absolute most I can see. Even then Port will probably beat GWS so no hope in my opinion.

    What about my Dogs scenario? We win 3 and they lose all, some badly and we are above them.

    Could this happen? GWS lose all remaining games and get GC pick 2 for an under 17 player plus some other part to the deal and then put the pressure on us for pick 3, for us to get JV second round, with us getting the second under 17 pick and maybe another part to the deal. GWS then get Whitfield, Grundy and Toumpas.

    You could write a book on the permutations.

    That is a better chance but we would still have to beat Port.

    I struggle with more wins than 2 redleg.

    Now Davey is out for the season does not improve our chances

    Can't he be both of ours. I nominated him at the start of the season as a kid I thought could kick on and then next thing he was injured.

    I hope Port and Dogs put me out of my misery and win next week. That means I can go to the footy from then and hope to win, as it won't change our ladder position and affect our draft picks.

    I was defending him against people who wanted to delist him two years ago. I still reckon he has at least as much to offer us as Jordie Gysberts.

    Bottom line is I bags'ed him first. You can still support him, but I'm first in line!

    we can hope too that Port beat Lions at home later in season. Otherwise looks like it will be evens on wins and down to percentage

    but if we do lose next week to port in darwin that will decide it

    I keep telling you Redleg you are as safe as a church.

    Port will beat us next weekend and I reckon we will struggle to beat both GWS and GCS.

    I think there is a chance we could drop to second last by seasons end.

    We are now seriously running out of player options.

    The high light for me on Saturday was Green, a few more games like that and he might get one more year.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
